What an excellent attitude. I hope you go well at the weekend and get the car home.
Good luck.

I've been to a few before but probably won't make this year. Have fun everyone, a great event!

Heading along to spectate.

Will be my first 24hr event. Nearest I've seen was the through the night race at Brands Hatch two years ago. Got a chance to chat to some of the teams in their garages which was brilliant.

What is the etiquette for this?

Is everyone as keen to chat as Indigorallye?

I've been several times since 2008, teams are very welcoming if their shutter door is open - most are.

Not been for a couple of years due to not being 24hr so now its back I'm very much looking forward to meeting the teams up and down the paddock.

You might get asked to brew up, or wield a spanner. tongue out

The feeling I have right now is the same feeling before my first ever race weekend!

Hi,

Has anyone got a link to the confirmed entries and cars of each class? The official website seems to lack any decent amount of info.

Will be driving there late tonight, so will of missed today's action :-/

Seems the weather is going to turn for it as well, typical!

Normally cheer for Rogue Motorsports MR2 but they are not there this year, so we will have to find another suitable under-dog!

Have a look on tsl timing. Warm up results suggest that there are just over 20 cars.

We have had a few 'first timer' issues- nothing major........until this evening.
We had a rear wheel bearing collapse which was an twitcher for the driver!!
The pit crew had it changed within 10mins and we were back out there.
Tomorrow is race day biggrin

I'm running the position lights system for the event and we had 29 cars confirmed, with only the #16 withdrawing after its crash, so I hope to see 28 on the grid!

Just got back from silverstone (couldn't do the full 24hr unfortunately) wish I realised that the fiesta was someone on here, I'd have popped in the garage for a look.

Pretty much the whole of the grandstand was cheering you on when you came past!

Those v8 focus' can bloody shift!
