There’s no getting away from it, TRAX is massive. As the last show in the awesome Adrian Flux Auto Series it acts as the finale, the closing party, the end of an era, one last nuclear-grade blowout, the big bang by which all seasons should go out – and this year they certainly didn’t disappoint!
Armed with the promise of more motors, more entertainment and more full-on action than ever before, record numbers rocked up to experience the biggest get-together on the 2013 calendar.
While it takes quite a substantial amount of epicness to ram-pack a massive venue like Silverstone, TRAX did this with relative ease. In fact, I’m reliably informed that if you laid everyone who turned up at the gate end-to-end they would reach the International Space Station and half way back, well probably.
Anyway, even the ‘thoroughly British’ weather didn’t dampen anyone’s sprit because the organisers had laid on such a huge amount of cool stuff to check out. Sometimes you’ll go to a show and wonder who’s pocket that ticket price went straight into, with TRAX there’s none of that – you leave feeling like you owe ‘em a few quid!
If you can fit it all in, you’ve got far more energy than we have (and probably bigger blisters) but here’s our highlights from one truly bonkers end of season extravaganza.
