Silverstone GP - Feb 15th

[Chr1sch]

Well bloody hell, just bagged open pit lane on the full GP circuit for £225 with Opentrack - what an absolute bargain!

Anyone else coming along - i'm excited already, feels almost like a privilege to actually get to drive the famous circuit in anger in my own car

[bencollins4]

Yes Chris, I'm booked in as well! Very excited to finally get on this track in my own car having driven it a few times on various experiences.

Fingers crossed the weather plays ball......

[Chr1sch]

Great stuff, I've only ever spectators at Silverstone so lots to learn but can't wait!

As you said, fingers crossed for reasonable weather...

[Chr1sch]

bumpety bump, anyone else?

[Tacagni]

Just booked the two track day package

[Chr1sch]

Nice, that was a real bargain i thought, i couldnt sadly do the second one

[Tacagni]

I will be there in a clio 172 and hopefully a friend in his st cp320 and maybe one more car , what will you be in?

[Chr1sch]

This! Having a few teething issues with a recent rack change, it suddenly seems very close!

My first time so need to get some practice in on Forza so I'm not too much of a rolling road block

[Tacagni]

I will come over and say hello (is yours standard power wise )

[Chr1sch]

Yes power wise bar exhaust/induction it is standard so I'll be intrigued to see how it gets on at a faster circuit like silverstone (it faired remarkedly well at Bedford a few months ago)

It is very light and has tonnes of other upgrades focussed on handling/gear change etc so I shouldn't be too much of a rolling road block all being well....

Time to start praying to the weather gods

[Tacagni]

That's good I was hoping that there would be a few cars of similar power to mine going round, my mate is taking his st instead of his saxo so I won't see much of him and I'm to chicken to take my road car.

[Altrezia]

Annoying I am going a week after you lot! Ha ha.

Enjoy. Awesome track

You say that, but I've been to Bedford a number of times recently with a good mate in his ST (circa 300bhp stage 2 or 3 from memory) and yes on the straight he's gone, but over an entire lap I was quicker and that is fast 4 mile track with a long straight

Hi Dave,

Have you hired it out? Would be great to see it on track!

How full is the day now, is it set to be a busy one? - Massively looking forward to it

Dave,

When you say keep the numbers down, what's the max capacity your aiming for?

Cheers
Chris
