RE: Silverstone Sunday Service 28/10

[e30m3Mark]

Those who booked track time have most likely had their indemnity forms and track pass email. (Seems unlikely they only sent mine.

Usually they send an email with a pic to print out. Might come later this week.

Thanks for the reply :-)

Can anyone turn and just have a wander, not after track time ?

If the weathers ok, I'll give the 7 a run out....

Yeah, if you are in the 500 with an entry place

So if your names not on the list your not coming in ?
Sounds a bit pants really. I just fancy a drive and a wander round the car park.

No, you can park outside the site and walk / get a lift in. Defeats the purpose of a list otherwise.

If you sign up here I'll bet you £20 you'll be inside the 500 places by Saturday.

Ive done that, what happens now ?

If you make the 500 list by Friday then they usually email the gate passes around Friday lunchtime. If you don’t make the list then entry is per car not per person. You may be able to park outside and walk in, and may even be able to get a lift in as in my experience most people come with only 1 or 2 people in the cars

This is the bit I dont quite get - surely Silverstone would be quite happy to relieve me of some cash to park up ?

[Moley RUFC]

Look. Sign up (you’ll still get in I reckon with drop outs) and do as you fancy on the day.

They don’t charge for parking. Last SS I went to at Silverstone the parking was in the paddock area by national pits, in th infield. The 500 car limit will be down to the max capacity of that parking area. The other car parks are all outside and a bit of a walk in.

Ok, so I can rock up and park in the usual car park (used for Caterham drift days) and wander in ?

As has been said, add your name to the list and it's pretty likely you'll get a spot anyway.

They only have space for so many cars and PH will have agreed 500 with the site. What's not to get? You can still spend your money there and it's likely you'll get in if you're currently on the reserve list thanks to last minute drop-outs.

Alternatively you could book yourself an experience at Porsche / Aston if you want and park there?? Then you'd be in and you'll get to do the PHSS with only a short walk to the paddock and then do something else cool on the day. And you'll have spent money.

Alternatively alternatively bring a car of super high calibre...... like an Egg or a Bugatti. They tend to slip the net as they are good for the crowds.

Alternatively alternatively alternatively bring a helicopter or plane. Less obvious than the above and you'll get to pay a landing fee and fuel. But, you'll be in.

They check you off at the main gate.

I am attending, and am within the 500 cars on the list, however have had nothing sent to me or anything (i.e proof that i am on the list when attending). Whats the score here? (never attended one before!)

For the ones I've attended the gate passes tend to come out on the Friday before

[Jack Mansfield]

Yep the final joining email will be sent out this Friday, around 11am!

102db rather dampens things. A standard exhaust Ferrari 360 is 105, for example.

They don't do a static reading so you'll only get black flagged IF trip to db meters around the track.

Anyone else heading up from the South West?

Are you driving all the way up on the day ? Could meet you on the M40

Had hoped to drive up Saturday evening but as I have to work, will be leaving silly o clock Sunday morning. (thankful the clocks go back an hour!) Could meet near Wendlebury where map says I join M40? (or thereabouts)

Mark,

Off topic: The film on YouTube (Petrolicious) of MIG. is superb.
