GT's at Silverstone in August.

[L100NYY]

Just thought I'd see if we can get some sort of a tally as regards who is going to Silverstone in August for the GT weekend (mini Le Mans)?

Is there anybody from the PH community that will be camping for the weekend and will there be a PH 'area'?

I for one will be going with a mate and the plan is to camp over the weekend so as not to miss any on the track.

Well that and the fact that we couldn't make it to Le Mans this year so this will be the closest that we we will get until 2006

ill be there for the friday and the saturday i think, im not too bothered about the brit GT's on sunday and ill get to see them running on the saturday anyway

[GCerbera]

Can only make Friday as I have to be in Sweden on Saturday & Sunday.

[Trackside]

Will be there on Saturday for the LMES and maybe Sunday too.

Don't forget about the Britcar Willhire 24 hours at Silverstone in September, especially if you missed out on your fix of round the clock racing this year. I'm really looking forward to that one!

I am still undecided as to whether to stay over night for the GT's or not? Does anybody know the times for the racing?

[panclan]

I'll be there Friday - Sunday race and camping tickets already arrived, and I'll be at the Britcar in Sept too

Just found out that there is a TVR S Series do going on at Silverstone on the Sunday. Mrs Trackside has put us down to attend that (looking for a TVR that fits my vertically-challenged other half!) so I may as well pop in to see the British GTs anyway!

Wahay!

[FlipFlopGriff]

We'll be there (Mrs FFG and myself) on Saturday and Sunday (& camping over).
Will be there mid Saturday morning so save me a tent and car space please - we were lucky last year as some guy was just leaving as we arrived but the camping area was crammed.
Good weekend with the racing, BBQ, beers and a good band on Saturday night.

We will be there all weekend, not camping though, travellodging. Just waiting for the tickets to arrive. Are the tiv's parking behind the main stand again? does anyone know? We have washed the flag in readiness. Just hope the weather is ok!! Trev

[Hansgerd]

I will be there... tent, sleeping bag and rucksack plus 3kg extra weight deliverd by JPRacing.

[L100NYY]

I've been double booked on my holiday which means that I can't go Silverstone, nooooooooo........





In case you hadn't guessed, I'm a wee bit annoyed!

[athorby]

Hi there,

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can get a paddock pass from? Can you buy them or are they limited to the teams?
I went to the GP recently, was an excellent day and hope this should be equally good.

Thanks in advance

Last year IIRC you didn't need a seperate pass as your general admission ticket allowed you free access to the paddock. I would assume it's the same this year as Silverstone, in my experience, are fairly open as far as access goes for pretty much every event bar the GP.

BTW, this will be 10 times better than the GP!!

[athorby]

I hope so. I was very lucky to watch the GP from the BRDC so it was a very special day for me.
I haven't seen the Le Mans cars in the flesh for a while now so I'm very excited about that. Also the DB9R will steal the show for me.
Also there are GT and F3 which are always good fun to watch. Does anyone know if camping is available in the centre area? If not, where is the best place to camp in your opinion?

Cheers
Adam

Sorry to say this but i dont believe the Astons will be there for this one. They raced at Silverstone earlier in the year.

BTW- Camping is available (I suggest booking it now!).
Though i will be in the Travel Inn down the road!

I might be there with something a little special in the Biritsh GT's watch this space.

Will be there with an LM2 car if I can find another driver.

[athorby]

Oh really sounds good. What car will you be in? I could drive?!
My Dad is the race engineer for Carlin F3 team so that is quite cool so means I hould get some good pics.
Not sure which I prefer to do, either to camp or travel inn it, I think I'll try and get a camping spot. Are many PHers going?

[UncleDave]

LMES Saturday? Take it LNT will be there on Saturday then?
