Any of you guys going to Britcar this weekend? I'll be there in the Cerbera Friday lunch time setting up camp (Yes, we are camping??!!) with about 10 other blokes - could/will be extremely wet but hey, at least the beer will stay cold!

I'll be there from about 12pm Friday in my Cerb. Are you in the TVRCC parking behind the main grandstand? Also doing the two lap parade of the GP circuit on Saturday, should be fun in the wet!

Oh yes to the parade lap! Did it last time back in 2008 and it was more like a mini track day. Are you camping? I do have the TVRCC parking permit but the Cerb will be in the Camping area until Saturday when the parade laps happen.

Yes I'm on the WRR campsite, my mates Hi-lux will be on the campsite so the cerb will be at the car club parking for the full weekend. How does the parade lap work, do we get told where to go and at what time? I've not been before and they didn't send any info about it, just a sticker to put in the window!

Last time we displayed our cars at the TVRCC area and when it was time convoyed to the outer paddock car park next to the club straight. We were then organised and lined up on the club straight ready for the off. You follow one of three silverstone safety cars that really do not hang about! We were buzzing by the time we had completed 2-laps and met up at the camp site for lots of beer afterwards.

All will become clear on the day I'm sure.

Fantastic, I'm looking forward to it already! Would that be an AJP or LS V8 in the Sagaris?

Free beers at your tent at two then drink ...this weekend gets better and better - I know they said it was going to be wet but this is great! laugh Only kidding, just incase you getting worried.

Hi all was also there today, not the best of days with the weather (still wringing the trousers out!)tomorrow promises to be better. Good to see so many TVRS must've spotted 8 while we were there no sign of any other marques just shows us tvr owners are really committed ( or plain mad
nuts)
Hope to see some of you there tomorrow and tvr on the podium, good luck guys.
