Why did TV timetable change at the last mintue, when I left Silverstone on Saturday the final race was done for 16.45, I arrived yesterday to find out it had been moved to 17.15, which seemed daft IMO. As for the car park it took me an hour get out, in fact I moved about 20 yrds in 40 mins. I understand from other forums that the police where called as there where fights breaking out in the car parks. |

What a day I had. My first ever time at silverstone. Was in the Formula BMW hospitality for most of the time. Had a chat with Andy Prialux and everything etc at the F BMW season awards there as well.
Got my Nigel Mansell models signed by Nige himself had a good chat with him as well. Nearly managed to take home some damaged body work after the race in the pits. Great view from Luffield in the grandstand of the BTCC races. The only draw back was the fact it took ages driving into silverstone which is never the problem elsewhere. |

[QUOTE=rdjones]IWhy did TV timetable change at the last mintue, when I left Silverstone on Saturday the final race was done for 16.45, I arrived yesterday to find out it had been moved to 17.15, which seemed daft IMO.
The change in time was announced as part of the BTCC newsletter that arrived in my in box on Thursday so it wasn't all that last minute but still not sure why they had to do it! The traffic out was a nightmare, I waited an hour and then had no problems. A big well done to Paul on leading the final race for a few laps, it was great to see him back in his rightful place lets hope it leads to good things for 2007 :-) |

My apologies I only saw the time change and not the times!
The people in the grandstand may of laughed when there was the near miss with the Clios but had Adcock not been quick to avoid it there would have been a nasty accident and not so many laughs!! Mind you a lot of them pay to see cars crash and wheels fall off so I guess they where happy. |

from NickAdcock.net
"Sundays race was a difficult affair and in no exaggeration of drama left me lucky to be alive. I had noticed that Paul Rivett had made a mistake and had had an off course excursion and was pumping his brakes going down the back straight as I passed him. Turning into Brooklands, the left hand corner he was nowhere to be seen and I assumed he had pulled off. This was not the case, in fact he had experienced brake failure, had spun the car off the track and was now travelling at 100mph backwards and was just about to rejoin the circuit collecting me through the drivers door in the process. The first I knew was a flash of white in my peripheral vision as his car hurtled toward me at terrific speed, its amazing what goes through your mind at times like that as I initially thought "no, another shell" as the car had just been sold, then that I was being robbed of another finish as I instinctively threw the car off the circuit and endured a wild ride off piste as I braced for impact. I could actually hear the crowds collective intake of breath as Paul's car missed me by fractions and yet I lived to fight another day, someone was smiling on me on Sunday and even though I could then only finish fifth I had set the fastest lap of the race and therefore took some consolation that I could still actually do it!" |

Paul was fine, car ended in the gravel at Brooklands, but I wouldn't have been surprised if there was a nasty smell coming from around him!
