Silverstone Sunday Service 29/10

Nope, that's not a mistake, we're back at Silverstone! Here's how to join us on the 29th

---

We like Silverstone so much that we'll be returning for the third time this year. Yep, three times so far, and with it being one of the biggest events on the PH calendar it just keeps getting better and better. So on October 29th we'll be there with discounted track time for you lovely bunch.

The days events will be much the same as our previous Silverstone Sunday Services - there will be six track sessions over the course of the morning, with a maximum of 30 cars on track per session, priced at just £45 a time. The sessions are split into two groups - novice and intermediate - meaning there's lots of space and tons of fun. We're also running two PH Fleet cars on the day for those of you that would rather just stay in the passenger seat.

To book the track sessions, please do so here or if you're booking over the phone, call 01327 320409 and quote 'Piston1017'. Please also remember to sign yourself up on our calendar if you're going out on track, as everyone attending needs to be registered.

Obviously there will also be the normal Sunday Service aspect of it, with no track time - and for that we have 500 spaces (but no limit on people, so feel free to bring passengers!). Get yourself signed up to the calendar here to secure your space. As usual, please only sign up if you're 100 per cent sure you can come, as taking up a space that you don't use is seriously frowned upon. And just for the record, removing yourself from the list at the last minute doesn't make it okay!

Food and refreshments will be available onsite from Silverstone's cafe; we'll be there for coffee and brekky bright and early and Chris, our photographer will be there taking photos of the event.

Please note once more that if you do book track time, your name needs to be added to the Sunday Service calendar as well. If you are going on track you will be parked in the paddock, but as the areas are next to each other, you will be able to wander around looking at the other cars in attendance. Also, like all track activities this event will be subject to stoppages and weather conditions. Fingers crossed for sunshine...

Managed to get first on the list - do I win a prize?

This is without a doubt always my favourite SS. The smell and sound of the track, wonderful chat with fellow enthusiasts, a reasonably priced and fulfilling breakfast. Can't wait. Even my wife enjoys this one!

You were mega quick on signing up! I sent the calendar live, refreshed, and there you were. Come over to the stall on the day and I'll give you a PH sticker for having superhuman reactions.

Yay (I had plenty of practice refreshing webpages with Star Wars tickets this morning...)

I have an E46 M3 and would like to take it on a track one day.

I feel like I know what I'm doing but I have zero track experience other than video games in my youth.

Would Sunday Service be a bad place to start? I will still come anyway, but just wondering as I don't really know if total novices are allowed?

That is what the novice sessions are for...

The bad news is, being first on the list means you have to buy everyone breakfast! I'll have a full english please....

Those are the rules... Pretty sure I heard somewhere that number 1 has to replace the first set of tyres that go kaput too?!

Totally worth it for a PH sticker though

You'll be stood on the pit wall thinking that could be me. Get that button pressed!

Everytime, then I remember than my car is too loud...

Did PH get anywhere with discounted insurance?

Where before I took the <£4k 540i out with an Exige, although far better suited I'm very worried about binning it and couldn't stomach the (uninsured) cost!, especially seeing the Civic last year

and the beautiful Porsche a year or so before that. Fortunately quite rare instances.

Local residents love to call up and complain about noise sadly!

Good luck to them as 500 quiet cars slowly roll into Silverstone first thing in the morning...

You think so?
Would my name automatically go up the list as others drop out then? Worth just keeping an aye on it?

I was close to 700 at this point a few years ago. Managed to get in the night before...

Two more questions if anyone can help

1. Which circuit configuration will it be? Would like to learn the track beforehand.

2. In the Silverstone Ts&Cs it says that suction mounted dashcams are not permitted. How do people get around this as the vast majority I have seen are suction mounted? Would love to get some footage. I have a Nextbase 312 if that helps.

Thanks!

Lots of previous SS track videos on YouTube that will give you a flavour. I always enjoy watching them.

[CaptainRAVE]

Having just gotten back from holiday, the wash I gave it before I left will have to do

Hopefully the leaves blow off!

[CaptainRAVE]

An excellent event as ever. Enjoyed watching the blue Porsche on track (what a sound!) - great to see people actually using their super cars as intended (including the Ferrari and McLaren).

Thanks for my free sticker

[CaptainRAVE]

Great pictures and videos, keep them coming

Hi there guys, just wondering, anyone got any photos or footage from the 9am session. I was in the red Ferrari 458. Or anyone got anything to add on the driving lol. Cheers guys ??

This one?



Slow down next time and I will get a better shot

You can't beat the sound of the Ferrari - it sounded especially good at the end of the straight.
