I left after the first GT race. Too many people need telling/reminding that standing right next to me isn’t acceptable. I’d move, and it would happen again. One particularly ignorant t
t was lucky not to be put on his arse... a criminal conviction would lose me my security clearance and thus my job.
So that’s it for me. No motorsport events until the virus does one.

Sorry to hear that. It is an issue which I would have to contend with so I decided no attendance for me this year sadly.t was lucky not to be put on his arse... a criminal conviction would lose me my security clearance and thus my job.

It was an exciting race though!

Surely there's enough room at Snetterton that you can just move around the track ?t was lucky not to be put on his arse... a criminal conviction would lose me my security clearance and thus my job. So that’s it for me. No motorsport events until the virus does one.

Blimey. I have been to two rounds so far and its been great. Everyone has been very well behaved! It only takes a few people to spoil it for others though.
I agree 100%. However, even without the distancing issue, having no access to pits and paddocks ruins it for me. So to be fair to me and others, I’ll just hang back for now.
After some time planning I am very excited to finally announce the Silverstone surprise.
IM has got together with SKY to partner a second McLaren 720S, which will be driven by former Le Mans LMP2 winner Chris Buncombe and 2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button!
Jenson is coming over from LA for this and I have just had a chat with him a few minute ago, he is also very excited!

Ahhh yes. In my excitement I forgot.
I have a feeling that if spectators were allowed in the pits then JB wouldn't be taking part as they'd just be swamped with fans trying to get photos etc.Some good PR for the series though. What's the deal with the SKY advertising, are they featuring it on the F1 coverage? (I haven't watched any F1 for several seasons)

They may be doing a programme about Jenson coming over for testing with Chris. Not certain yet though.Some good PR for the series though. What's the deal with the SKY advertising, are they featuring it on the F1 coverage? (I haven't watched any F1 for several seasons)

Sky have been showing a lot of the GT World Challenge Europe on the F1 channel. Live races when there is no F1 and highlights when there is. They sponsor the Ferrari Tempesta team and Chris Buncombe raced with them last year but I don't know how direct the sponsorship is. I've always assumed Chris Froggatt brings the money as he is the constant in the team so it figures he's the one with the connection to Sky but maybe Buncombe has a bigger role than just quick driver.
Anyway here's our take on it with quotes and stuff.
