I attended the annual Race the Runway, brilliantly organised by The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice and hosted by Edinburgh Airport.

An excellent day with some good people and great cars, managed to have the M5 up at 165mph (on the limiter) beating a E63 in a drag race and then saw off a GTR (I was surprised at this).
The highlight of the day was courtesy of Mercedes, they brought their hospitality trailer along with every AMG derivative you could think of and one very special ex M Schumacher F1 car driven by Anthony Davidson.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys their cars, 1.8km with a decent braking area. Quite a few motor journalists there driving the Mercedes cars, top gear and auto express. Great Fun.
Some pictures from the day.
