He said: "It's amazing. It's a really good celebration of everything that's good about motoring, great people, great atmosphere. It's like the old days, it's proper.
"The formula one cars are great, exciting. The touring cars are great, the rally cars, go up the rally stage and you will know fear, that's great fun."
Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay said there was no other event as good as the Festival of Speed in the country.
"I'm having a great day," he said. "This is the best event in the country period, finish end of story. Everybody gets close to the cars. There is a lot of respect for other people's motorcars and I think it is fantastic, really good."
