I think he means the record for travelling FROM Silverstone TO Thruxton, by road, in a tank. Legally it should take about 1 1/2 hours, maybe less now the A43's finished.

The last time i was at silverstone it took me about 50mins to complete a lap.
This was due to the very bad bar service you get comming out of copse. |

You need trainers. But what pressures you recommend I run my Nike Airs?

just checked on MST website, no timetable for practise or races at Silverstone or Thruxton so it looks like the I will have to fire up the Helicopter if I wanna see both practise sessions and races.Unless there is a cycle lane

for anyone planning a swift exit from silverstone to thruxton like myself, the bad news is formula renault qualifying is during the f3 race on sunday. arse arse arse.
the timetables are on mst and i'd link you but my computer crashed (must have something to do with who's driving in the picture on my desktop) and it lost the links. as for potential tyre choice go for boots with heels. elongates your figure and your feet don't get wet |
