RE: Silverstone Sunday Service 04/03
Discussion
Banner at the top of Silverstone website says all driving experiences are postponed this weekend: http://www.silverstone.co.uk/
Their contact centre is apparently closed, so refunds will have to wait until next week, I guess.

t. Caterham plus snow and hill does not work.Milton Keynes has been hit hard, with another 2 inches of snow due here.
Friend of mine lives in Deanshanger just north of MK and this was the view that greeted him this morning on the way to work
Over 4 foot drifts in that area.. good chance Silverstone is under drifts and snow much like this, and further snow predicted.

"All driving experiences and such are cancelled"
Looks like it's off.. given the conditions there from the picture, I would guess there's a 80% chance PH Sunday Service is off too.. given it's probably going to be almost impossible to get to the track let alone go round it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE - Event Cancelled
Unfortunately, the speculation is correct and we have just received confirmation from Silverstone that this weekend will be cancelled. As the picture above shows, the snow is now getting onto the circuit and there is difficulty getting to and from the circuit. Staff are also being sent home early today to avoid the worst hopefully.
Statement below from Silverstone;
"Due to the current UK weather conditions, the decision has been made the cancel the PistonHeads Sunday Service and Silverstone Track Day Taster.
We want to ensure that any visitors to Silverstone arrive safely and enjoy the excitement of the National Circuit, which isn’t possible at this time. We are currently exploring an alternate date to run and will confirm a new date next week. We will contact all drivers via email and follow up with a telephone call.
Please contact either Matt on 01327 320409 or Natalie on 01327 320267 if you do have any questions. Please be advised that the Silverstone office will be closing from 12:30pm on Friday 2nd March due to the weather conditions.
We do apologise for any inconvenience caused. May we take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and look forward to welcoming you to the circuit on a future date.
Kind regards
Silverstone Team."
The alternate date...
We are proposing bank holiday Monday 2nd April to take Sundays place; let us know your thoughts! I've created a poll here to see who'd be keen, so get voting please. To be honest, we think it's a great alternative (and a fun way to end a bank holiday weekend), plus the weather should, hopefully, be much better!
Apologies for the inconvenience this may cause anyone, but the weather has unfortunately won this weekend...

I think it’s wise to reschedule given the circumstances.
If another date us arranged, does the current list stay as it is, or will it be re-released and people will need to sign up again? I’m referring to the actual SS not the track time.
We'll try and keep the list as is and I'll send another email out to everyone to update/remind them to either stay on or take themselves off the list; currently having some issues with the calendar section so I can't do it yet!

Am at another circuit on 2nd April (truck racing at Brands) so I'll remove myself from the list if it is rescheduled for that day. There's usually another Silverstone PHSS in the autumn, right?We are proposing bank holiday Monday 2nd April to take Sundays place; let us know your thoughts!

Hi I’m still fairly new on here and it would have been my first SS with track time. I’m happy with the new date but was wondering do we get a refund and book again or is it carried over to the new date ?
Thank you

Completely understand, it's the right decision to cancel. 2nd Aprll doesn't work for me, so I've replied to Natalie @ Silverstone to ask for refund on track time. Nevermind, it happens.The alternate date...
