3rd December, Silverstone Arena GP

[v8bloke]

Unusually for me I have booked a winter trackday. My main problem might be that the car does not have a heater.
Anyone else going and what car you got? Im in an MGB (dont laugh).

There are about 15 of us from another forum going, predominately 911's with a couple of Golfs and an R8 thrown in for good measure.

Feel free to wonder over and have a chat as we watch the snow falling

As Dave said, I will be in one of the 911's.
Pray for no snow !

[twistedPT]

I will join in the cold/no-heater pain in a Radical.
We may have to wear a ski suit...

Count me in, I am doing my first Silverstone track day in my Evo 10 that day. I do have a heater ;o)) and a radio, and air conditioning, and........

[v8bloke]

Got my eye on these.

Gav, there is another Silverstone Arena day on the 1st December with RMA, same price I think.
we're going along to that one for a winter blast. Should be fun, not quite I sure I am loving the Arena circuit yet but I guess its just because I'm old and loved the Bridge circuit so much. More laps required perhaps!

I think I am going to need my heater, it's freezing cold at the moment. You can keep your radicals at this time of year, I don't care how fast they are, I can't imagine how cold it will be in one of those. Yikes !!!!

[Storer]

I'm doing my first Silverstone day on the 1st (if a part arrives from the States in time) with no heater, wide rear tyres, low(ish) weight and lots of torque so I am praying for a reasonable day weather wise.

I suspect I will be spending a fair amount of time in the cafe warming up!!

[gav dunn]

as mentioned earlier, if anyone is unable to attend this day, please let me know. thanks again.

[Dan7357]

Weather is looking clear for the day but cold -7 !!!!

[Storer]

How did it go today? What was the track like and what time did you get allowed out onto the track.

The weather is supposed to be getting worse next week so the 1st looks doubtful to me.

Silverstone was cancelled today. There was a fair bit of ice that wouldn't melt, so there was no other option.

Doesn't bode well for Wednesday then!!!!!!!!!!!

oh Friday ?!

If it's going to be sub zero all week then very unlikely the days will go ahead. Donington was cancelled today and I'm due there on 3rd Dec but again the forecast is more snow and sub zero - so very little chance of it happening

[Steve H]

Plenty of days ran last winter in sub-zero, I wouldn't write it off yet.

[Dan7357]

Weather can't make its mind up !

Not looking good tho..
