Love supercars? Have bags of money? There's only one club you need to be a part of
OLLIE MARRIAGE
Wedge fund

Maybe it's the guy who wears his silk pyjamas 24/7. Or the chap intent on showing me the 16 working pistons in his Bugatti watch. Or maybe it's the loon in the Ferrari Monza who sets off at max revs and noise. Every. Single. Time.

Perhaps it's the man pitching his car curation business over dinner to this veritable Dragons' Den of potential investors. Or the family that turned up with five Koenigseggs. Or the husbands discussing handbags as investments while their wives check their glossy nail polish. How about the bloke who's got his own five-strong video crew in tow? Or the Dutchman who's painted his 918 Spyder to pay homage to the VW Polo Harlequin? I'm hoping it's him, but it's probably not. I'm looking for the character who most epitomises what's going on here. To be honest, any of them would do. This could easily be a story about the people rather than the cars.

STIC LAPS are back!

It's a 1.75-mile figure of eight on an old Canadian Air Force base just south of Guildford. Hardly Monza, or the Mulsanne straight, and never in a million years - you'd think a place that would become one of the most sought after performance benchmarks in the motoring world.
