I fnd the most accurate prediction is when you get to within 2 miles of the showground and then look up at the sky.
If your head is wet then its raining. If you are getting hot then its either sunny or the cars on fire!
Too early to get accurate prediction.

Absolutely gutted! just got home again on the recovery truck... was hoping to be drinking beer @ newark by now!
Damn thing was driving fine for the first 25 miles then just died... managed to get a few miles more then it died again then a few hunded yards and
it died again ...
couldn't see anything wrong.
I'm thinking it might be a fuel supply problem.
whatever, hope the rest of you make it and have a good time!

According to the hour by hour weather on the sky news website, it will be a mixture of cloud and Sun for Sunday.
It looks like I may be going afterall.
Only 147 miles!
Hopefully the F1-2 will be a bit more reliable!
I am going to put the car on the cars for sale section.

Yep just got back too. Rubbish weather meaning that what few cars where there where covered and there weren't much in the show hall really.
Really disappointed.

Weather was crap this morning but I went for it again. Took the fuel cap off and she purred like a kitten all the way!  so I guess that proves it
was vacuum in the tank!
Sat here now and the rain has stopped but turn out is crap!
Eveyone seems to be going home
