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

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'll be there for that one too!



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?

It's a six hour race, you can stand at them all! Hope it's not raining.



Good point, I can't wait!

What an absolutely superb meeting
I didn't let the rain dampen my enthusiasm and I enjoyed the whole meeting enormously!

The highlight for me was sitting opposite the pits from 20:30 until the end where it was spookily like being at Le Mans.

Watching the headlights coming at you from the darkness, to the engine note to determine what car it is and then watching the Prototypes swallow up the GT's before diving up the right hander under the Dunlop Bridge (alright I made that last bit up)!
