Silverstone - Not quite as it finished!

[Printertosh]

Toyota 1st and 2nd, Rebellion 3rd. Alonso wins again! Well that's how it looked as you walked away from the podium celebrations, but hang on a minute Toyota were disqualified for failing post-race scrutineering. Toyota are blaming the new kerbs at Silverstone. Anyway for now Rebellion are the winners! (oh and Porsche were disqualified from 2nd in GT Pro for being too low!). Be nice to leave a WEC race and believe the final podiums

yes it came as quite a shock this morning, but enjoyed the 3 days there anyway, pity they also announced the reduction in next years race to 4 hours no one there i spoke to thought it a good idea.

On the plus side the drop in the race distance by 1/3 should see the Sunday ticket price drop by 1/3 too...

£40 for 6 hours was a little steep, considering it's less than twice that for 24 hours at Le Mans. Not sure i'll be able to stomach £10/hr (plus £2 for a cup of tea).

And just announced by toyota they will not appeal the disqualification.

Advance ticket for the whole weekend was £50 which wasn't too bad. Agree that the Sunday day price was over the top!
