Really good so far. Looking forward to reading more.
The campsite is the most memorable place from when I went, funny as fuck.

Thanks man, and yes agreed. The people are all nutters and they make it what it is. A lot of them don't even walk up to see the cars.
'We here for tha party' as they would say.
 
Yep. So much of what you wrote so far is exactly what I remember too.

Love the fact that even 4am with people totally off their faces you can say "English" and they will think for 5sec and then say it in perfect English instead.

Which in my experience was mostly "Woo! Look at that girl, she's such a fucking slut! Woo! Party" or offering you free beer/drugs lol.

Every night it looks like 50+ people will be dead from the mad shit they do, but it's like they're too off their heads to remember how to die.

Friendliest/Craziest bunch of people ever.

Hahahahaha yes! If I were as messed up as them, I don't think I would even be able to speak English.
We were introduced to moonshine by some swedish guys, which was eventful. But it's crazy how popular homebrew alcohol is out there, obviously due to the prices. Like 1 can of cider if the equivalent of around 4 quid isn't it.. stupid!

Few more photos up now, i'll likely get the rest of them up tonight, and a mate of mine from Maximum D Photography has a few others.

We also met Alexi AKA Noriyaro and bought a T-Shirt from him which i was pretty hyped about!
 
Oh one more thing, i'm assuming it was the same when you went.. The amount of effort somebody is willing to put in if you shout 'Skål!' at them. (Norwegian for cheers for people that don't know).

I think we made a few people fall over/down ditches just by shouting it at them and raising a beer haha.
 
Pmsl yeah, it's mental.
Lost count of the people falling down ditches, off caravans, etc etc by doing that. So many fall in such bad ways you think it's hospital time, but after a few mins they get up, raise their drink above their head, and carry on lol.

And everyone's out to out-do each other with their drink. If you've got a Norwegian drink and you come across someone from Sweden/Denmark/Finland, or the other way round, they almost always give you some of their local booze to prove its better/stronger/morefuckedup.

Love it. Gutted it's been about 4 years since I went.

LOL! I was going to mention the quads and diggers, but when I went they were just FULL of unconscious people! Over and over again, diggers full of fucked people, lol.
It was like they were taking bodies to a mass burial lol

Haha, there were a few too many vehicles of all types flying around pretty much the whole time. Also the old school fire truck thing fell down a ditch and almost rolled, and a digger had to recover it. I didn't have my camera on me then though.

Also all the photos are up now, nothing special but I feel it documents the event nicely.
The only bad bits were the 100db noise limit, and with how far you are from the track at most points, you end up feeling pretty detached from the racing. Unless you stand on the wall, but I couldn't stand more than 2 100mph+ wall runs without needing a shower so we didn't go back there.
