Convoy to PHSS Silverstone 23/10

[MrC986]

If I've read the post properly, there's 500 places plus those going on track, so I'm "on the list" fully.

Does anyone fancy a quiet Sunday morning drive to the event? If so just pop your name down below - we'll meet at the Motorcycle Museum or nearby at just after 8 and be at the SS in reasonable time taking in some decent back roads.

I couldn't see how early before the sessions you needed to arrive, so went for a later session. The convoy there is possibly more fun than the track session.

^ that's no pressure then for this time! The convoy to the Skoda SS was pretty epic with a Huracan & Gallardo SL in the group - I've spotted one of the Lamborghini guys is on the list for Silverstone.

Down at 600 on the list but if I'' able to go i''ll see you at the museum.

If you don't make the 500, you're more than welcome to have a drive down with us and park up in the circuit just before the SS & to hop in with me as I'll be on my own. Equally, you can have a lift from the meeting point to/from the event if necessary.

Top man :-)

I''ll be bringing my Impreza this time :-)

I'm guessing the Impreza is the usual "cooking" version then!?

Wouldn't mind popping along too - how long does it take from the meet point to Silverstone?

You're more than welcome to meet up/join 'the queue'- it takes about an hour to get there with the first section being a brief drive on the M42/40 before we go 'native'. Fortunately some have driven the route before, as keeping a group of this size together otherwise would be a challenge unless we revert to using car-to-car "comms' in certain cars in the group.

You boys are spoiling the surprise for next weekend

[MrC986]

Craikeybaby has the right idea, but the best place is somewhere in the middle, ideally within earshot of Tex pedalling his Italian machine

[MrC986]

MrVert said:

My mate will be peddling the Elise, we co-own it as our dedicated track car. As I've stupidly booked the same track session for both of us looks like I'll be in the 911.

Real world problems

So that's potentially 17 cars now in the group....

He's already on as No 10 F9 ACL

Are 'newbies' welcome as I'll be coming down this way and a more interesting route than a pure motorway slog sounds much more appealing!

I was a "newbie" a few years ago - you're more than welcome to join us. I'll be heading down from midway between Tamworth/Lichfield via a certain 'breakfast point' at Bassetts Pole if you're local to me?

[MrC986]

DeaconFrost said:

Thank you that's very kind. I'm not far from jct 11 of the m6 so will be passing that way - what time will you be leaving from there?

I'll be out of the Golden Arches at Bassetts Pole no later than 07.55 hrs as I've a reputation for normally being one of the last to arrive at the meeting point & given the numbers involved, I think I ought to make a bit of effort & turn up earlier. The plan probably is to be away from the meeting point by just after 08.15 which is slightly earlier than we might have done in the past to allow us the time to go as much as possible (with the exception of the first section which is to J15 M40) on the back roads.
