Seems like your request is falling on deaf ears.

All 10-tenths crowd welcome to come say hello chez Nissan on the Friday and Saturday... we'll be out with a brand new 350Z in the GT4... (assuming the engine and gearbox show up in time...) sure we won't be important enuff to get garages but if we do poke your nose in and introduce yourselves... else come find the Promotorsport awning... it's the red car!
See you all there

I'll pop down say hi for sure.

we should organise some kind of ten-tenths meet, though that tends to find a very deaf set of ears too, just like the unstickied nature of what is now a far more popular thread than it's alms counterpart...

dazbaz_99 · 14 Apr 2008, 13:19 (Ref:2177209)

I will probably have a look around the Paddock Saturday evening. I am in orange this weekend so its probably the only chance I will get.

Can't wait!

Kidzer · 14 Apr 2008, 14:07 (Ref:2177248)

I might pop in and see the 350Z if I have time

Its not quite a TT meet, but if anyone sees a young looking chap with short hair and glasses with a bald chap - its more than likely me, come say hi!

minimangler · 14 Apr 2008, 15:27 (Ref:2177289)

Well, i'm the odd looking guy who looks far too young to know this much about Gt racing and looks even younger than he should to own the cameras he luckily owns.

errr i was going to find a picture, but couldnt find one that id be happy showing the world

But yes, I think a ten-tenths meet is definitely in order, but i'm just not sure when.

I'm there all 3 days! Mostly paddocking friday, then Saturday and Sunday the big boys are on track so i'll venture further, especially Saturday.

TheNewBob · 14 Apr 2008, 16:07 (Ref:2177317)

I'll be looking like my avatar only less drunk and less sunglasses! I'm there on Saturday and Sunday, wandering the track on Saturday getting lots of delicious pictures and videos, focusing on the racing action on the sunday.

Are Silverstone normally good for delivering tickets on time? Ordered over a week ago and haven't received anything yet. My brother ordered his over two weeks ago and he's also still waiting. I know that's not normally a long time for this sort of thing, but the event is only a few days away now...

MikeH · 14 Apr 2008, 16:21 (Ref:2177326)

Ordered my ticket about 6 weeks back but just got it on Friday. Think they all just went out a few days back.

dj choc ice · 14 Apr 2008, 17:02 (Ref:2177362)

ill be there definetely, probably looking tired and pale after a 4 hour car journey and an early wake up

We're looking at a ~9.5 hour journey from Aberdeen to our Hotel, thats on Friday though, we're going to the track sat/sunday - not such a trek those days!

I can only make Saturday sadly, but really looking forward to that - it's been
a good few years since I saw a FIA GT race in England.

Corvette for the win.

The Badger · 14 Apr 2008, 18:01 (Ref:2177404)

That would be a nice start to the season ...... a Corvette win ..... and of course a Porsche win in GT2 .

minimangler · 14 Apr 2008, 18:03 (Ref:2177405)

Aston- RaceAlliance FTW! Wendliger is my homeboy and all that.

And yes DJ, i'll dig you and your hungover state from somewhere.

oh yes- i have a media vest thing (

) so i'll probably be the youngest guy you'll see in one of them, i'd guess.

minimangler · 14 Apr 2008, 18:04 (Ref:2177407)

Sorry, accidental double.

You have a pass...are you sure you have a tabard?

minimangler · 14 Apr 2008, 18:53 (Ref:2177438)

i dunno, it says so on the pdf?

Should i be worried here?

Tim the Grey · 14 Apr 2008, 19:05 (Ref:2177448)

See you Thursday.

minimangler · 14 Apr 2008, 19:08 (Ref:2177453)

Can't link to facebook mate, you need to dig out the URL from the photo.

Tim the Grey · 14 Apr 2008, 19:12 (Ref:2177455)

I ain't too proud...
Well, you DID say you are too young to know all that you do?!!!????

no raving it up this saturday night mini hehe, i dont think many people will welcome the smell of hangover breath, vodka, sambuca and tequila

but you know the friday after something brilliant is happening for me anyways

you will probably find me wandering around the paddock before the race or getting a good spot, if i see you on the grid just before the start ill give you a shout, if youve not been pre deafened by the DBR9's.

Slim chance of that happening with mufflers on the cars now !!!

brielga · 15 Apr 2008, 05:53 (Ref:2177726)

López won't be at Silverstone, the ACA team will run with Tuero-Mazzacane

I did that for this same meeting in 2005. I can't tell you the size of the headache I had after the main race! Not a good idea.

Going from what MikeH said about the tickets, if they were released a few days ago then I'll give them a ring Wednesday if I'm still waiting...

Words have not yet been invented for the pain that is going to cost you!

I'm not THAT young. Jake Yorath is the name, if you wanna facebook me, or myspace me or whatever.

But yeah, I can testify hangovers and le mans cars don't mix...stopping to be sick halfway to the LMS was just the start. I'm surprised i got ANY pictures of worth that weekend!

And Tuero-Mazzacane- sounds like the return of Forti Ford!
