hi All
Keith and I have booked testing for the friday and are booked into the Premier inn near the Green man, we will be sharing a garage and by the sound of it we have the garages for the racing!!
so hatching a little plan, if we can all turn up for testing we can have another unofficial race day!! and a good few beers !
any takers!
also if anyone was thinking of buying a camera after watching Keiths footage compared with everyone else Leigh's offer is a no brainer!

I'm thinking of going but have to work out the logistics of getting all my tribe down there on Friday night with one vehicle down. I'm buggered if I'm paying £60 for a garage though yikes

Now ya talking' smile Just got to sort out how to get the tribe there on Friday if I go Thursday night. When I've done that I'll get it booked. Not been to Sillystone since 2008, my first ever race! (It should have been Angelsey but the less said about that the better wink )

OK, Logistics sorted. Didn't realise that the Grandkids were on School Holidays so can take most of them down there on Thursday evening. I'll book the testing first thing in the morning smile I need the bleedin' practice!

For me the high has gone but I'm really looking forward to Silverstone. Not driven that track since 2008 so have forgotten the track etc. I think the trouble I had at Brands is that I have driven that track for the past 5 years or so with a few test days and got used to taking the bendy bits at a certain speed in the taz. Hopefully with a couple of tweeks and bigger balls I can do a little better at Sillystone. The car goes great on the straights, its just the bendy bits I'm struggling with. We'll see...........
