Silverstone Sunday Service 05/03

We're back at Silverstone for another Sunday Service and plenty of track action!

---

Silverstone has established itself as the biggest Sunday Service on the PH calendar, so much so that we have started going there twice a year, and 2017 is going to maintain that tradition. On Sunday March 5 we'll be returning for a giant Sunday Service and a packed out morning with track sessions on the National circuit available exclusively for PistonHeads members.

If you've been to one of our previous Silverstone Sunday Services much of this will seem familiar; if it ain't broke and so on. Over the course of the morning, there will be six 30-minute track sessions priced at just £40 a time. These sessions are divided into two categories - novice and intermediate - based on your driving experience.

All of our track sessions will have a maximum number of 35 cars on track so there will be plenty of space, and we'll also be taking some of the PH Fleet cars on track for passenger rides if you'd rather just ride shotgun.

Bookings for the track sessions can be done online here or over the telephone [phone]) directly through Silverstone, and lines are open now. However, please make sure you remember to add yourself to the calendar if you're going out on track, as all attendees need to be registered.

For those of you who do not want to venture out on track, simply sign up on the regular calendar. The gates will be open from 0830h and the Sunday Service will run until about 1300h. Joining instructions and further details will be sent out on the Friday before the event. As usual please only sign up if you're 100 per cent sure you can come as taking up a space that you don't use is seriously frowned upon. And just for the record, removing yourself from the list at the last minute doesn't make it OK!

As always there will be refreshments available from the Silverstone cafe and we'll be setting up the PH shop so you can grab yourself some new T-shirts, hoodies, mugs and stickers.

Please note once more that if you do book track time, your name does need to be added to the Sunday Service calendar as well. If you are going on track you will be parked in the paddock but, as the areas are next to each other, you will be able to wander around looking at the cars in attendance.

Sign yourself up via the calendar here and we'll see you there!

N.B. Like all on track activities this event will be subject to stoppages and weather conditions. Fingers crossed for another day of sunshine!

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that we're also looking to offer heavily discounted track day insurance courtesy of Moris, just like we did last time around. More details on this will follow in due course, so keep your eyes peeled for an update.

has the track time sold out already? when ever I select a session it says not enough tickets available.

[stuno1]

I'd like to book on to novice if possible?

[drewbagz]

Yup it appears to have sold out already

[James Drake]

I'll be amazed if it has - I bet there is just a problem with Silverstone's online store as it has only been live for 27 minutes!

I'm chasing them now and will report back once I've got hold of them...

JD

[Master Bean]

I think there must be a problem with the website. I doubt 210 tickets have been sold in half an hour. Having said that I managed to book two sessions.

[James Drake]

I've now spoken to Silverstone and there is indeed a minor issue with their online store. There are lots and lots and lots of places still available, so give them 30 mins to sort the online store out and try again.

enjoy!

Just says not enough tickets available, it would be a shame as I was looking forward to getting out on track for the first time.

[Armagreggon]

Spoken to them on the phone, there is an issue with the booking. They're calling me back once it's resolved

[AstonMV8]

Hi JD, could you tell us if Chris will be doing the photography again? Wouldn't mind paying some shoots of my car on track! Cheers!!

He certainly will! Details of how to book Chris for specific shoot and / or to buy any shots he gets of you on track will be included on the joining instructions that you'll receive via email before the event.

[Mr Bishi]

Will there be instructors available as well during the sessions? I seem to recall there have been on previous occasions?

[gaurav_aidasani]

Trying to book novice one as well but not working either. How does the track session work by the way, never done it before. The idea is you take your car for a spirited drive I guess ?

Also how do I get shotgun in one of your fleet cars, would love a drive in the jag or focus rs!

Hi all,

I've just spoken to Silverstone again and they're having some serious IT issues. However, they're confident that they'll sort it soon. The guys at Silverstone have had about 20 messages and they said that they'll process all the enquiries as soon as their site is fixed.

However, they also asked me to stress that everyone is in the same boat and they don't seem to be able to sell tickets, so there are lots of places left and no one will miss out!

Managed to book novice at 09:35 so seems to be working now.

I'm still having no luck booking an Intermediate session.

(Perhaps they've seen my driving?)

[bobski1]

In addition to track day insurance is a helmet required & if so can they be hired on the day?

[Oh Behave]

No luck online or by calling them. Been trying the last 30mins :-(
