I might be up for that, is it 98db or 105db (usually 98db after 5pm)?

Very cheap price for all day, usually something like £269-£299 for daytime session.

I'll be able to confirm on Wednesday next week, sorry about the delay in confirming but have to get the new car then and give it a shake down prior to tracking.

Oh, we may book one of their cars as well as have some corporate visitors that maybe keen to do a day. So that would kinda count for three cars I suspect (seeing as our corporate party would be spending 1k on the day).

I've booked already and paid £89 for the afternoon session only (1.30- 5.00 pm)

Bloody good value really when most places are charging £120 for a 2 hour eve session smile

I just realised why it's cheaper, cos it's due to South Circuit only as I think there's an MG only trackday on the North bit so no full Grand Prix Circuit then.
However it's still fun and well priced and we're 90% definite to be there.

Wonder where the pit section/break area is on the South Circuit set up??

Its on the infield, you exit onto the track on the inside of Stowe (coming out onto Vale so your first corner is club).

When you get to Silverstone circuit, turn right after the entrance and follow the road all the way around past Stowe; there's a bridge over the Hangar Straight onto the infield.

No pit garages or anything - take a brolly if the forecast looks iffy!

I'll be there in the blue Westfield with the dodgy stripes.

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

I think i'm booked.. Will be there in a white datsun slowline and will be my first time round silverstoneredface

I'd appreciate following someone round for a couple of laps to try and learn the lines. Any volunteers??

Thanks,

Sam,
Search us out, I'm in a black Ultima with some other lads in a Caterham race car. I'll follow you around a bit and you can check camera footage of your driving (I have a camera mounted in the GTR).
Cheers,
Robin.

I think the Slowline may be quicker than the Westfield if tomorrow's wearther forecast is anything to go by!

I may try and join in the follow my leader if no one minds.

Showers throughout the day, and I believe it's fully booked. Give them a call to see if anyone has dropped out.
