Anyone else booked on this?

[Woolfie]

yes going - mini cooper s

Looks like we could be in for some wet weather.

[Woolfie]

well we had mist, damp, light rain, heavy rain, drying track, rain, standing water. What a great day and lots to learn about the car. The 888s worked ok today albeit not so brilliant at shedding standing water. The mini cooper s "IAMR53" did really well.

What a great day. First time at Silverstone on the International Circuit - worth every penny.

Was there in the afternoon, very good but rather wet! Ps-cups not good in the wet!!

Great day for FWD cars without Mega BHP

The black Caterhams were rather annoying as they did not come off the throttle to let less powerful cars pass them on the straight with a bit more ease.

Anyway was a top day out as usual.

zorba - were you one of the 2 integra type r's. Yes it was interesting watching some of the Porsches wrestling with their power, but others were brilliant..the Ferrari's were great. I loved it when they whooshed past - so much power - on the hangar straight.

Yeah we were in the black type R.

We were lucky enough to have the ferraris next to our pit garage.

Thought the Clio cups were very quick through the corners.

I was surprised by the new clio cups! Need some wets in my selection now! I have the blue megane only came down for the afternoon.
