Not quite that bad - bits are boggy but still some decent areas of grass. Definitely need good footwear though.
3 F40s and counting. Oh, and 1 F1 just parked up...

Does anybody know if you're allowed to take pushbikes into the circuit?

Thanks havoc. Don't go out of your way but if you get the chance to ask somebody on a gate, would you report back your findings please? I mean if it's accepted in general.

havoc said: Oh the irony...the Range Rover Club is on hardstanding! So, how was the day, Havoc? Instead of heading over this morning, I awoke to rain in Northampton and an urgent phonecall from the Stratos Club organiser informing me that our club's pitch had been moved to hardstanding because the weather had saturated our intended place & could I spread the word. So, after doing that, I decided rather than stand in the cold and rain @ Silverstone, I'd go to the movies instead. I saw the new Batman movie. It's really good. I'll be there tomorrow and Sunday. So, all's not lost.

So is it walking boot conditions rather than fully welly gear? But not good enough for trainers?
Going tomorrow.

Mostro - that's what it was when I left - definitely not normal trainer conditions, but not quite wellies unless you plan on cutting across the grass everywhere.
Blib - you made the right call - was pretty quiet on the club stands, paddocks were as cool as ever, but the qualifying was a little subdued by the weather, and they stopped it a little before 6pm because of a nasty bump (multi-car, I believe) ~Woodcote - conditions were too wet. Hadn't restarted by 6.40pm when I left, although the rain had stopped and the sun was starting to come out.
Be glad you're on hardstanding too - it was 'a little slippy' coming off our stand this evening. Honda (both), Porsche, Lotus and TVR all on grass...I am wondering if anyone got stuck, at least 2 S2000's needed assistance to get off their pitch today.
That said, this afternoon we rediscovered the rule that a Mk2 Escort, in the wet, is not permitted to drive in a straight line for more than 2 seconds! Driver looked like he was having a ball wearing those lock-stops out...

Alright cheers. Weather will be much better tomorrow and Sunday but I guess the legacy of the last few weeks' weather will have taken its toll.

Really looking forward to this!
3rd date with a beautiful blonde, who is an utter petrolhead, good times!
Given the decent weather currently in Somerset (and predicted for Silverstone through Sunday) it would be great for a ground condition update this evening from those that are there, hope to bring the trainers not boots but don't want to look an iditot if I get caked in mud!

Wear trainers as long as not cherished just muddy in certain parts that can be avoided
