No, there will be a paddock plan listed soon. I have asked them at least 6 times for this.

Even with a plan it seams to be a bit of a first come first served.

Copperbottom · 25 Sep 2009, 17:46 (Ref:2548119)

I just hope that they allocate enough room for all of us.

As the 'poor relation' we will get a piece of grass miles from the track

but we have the bigest and best grid!!!

Copperbottom · 25 Sep 2009, 17:53 (Ref:2548132)

In the camping field,perhaps?

bdwoody · 25 Sep 2009, 18:07 (Ref:2548139)

Shawn · 25 Sep 2009, 19:21 (Ref:2548204)

Dah Nah

Well I'm certainly glad I was away when you lot started throwing the handbags around, I could have got really annoyed. Hopefully this will serve as a reminder to you all no-body is immune from the rules and to make sure you get your entries in early...you are given enough warnings and reminders!

Please note it looks like our paddock area is the parking area just outside the outer paddock. Make sure that you observe the parking plan and all park together, it makes it much easier for us to find you and give you all the information you might need.

For anyone overnighting Sat have just checked with Silverstone and we have full 16amp electric hook ups in our allocated area. So should be a generator free night with luck! They also offered adaptors for sale on site if required for people without 'blue' plugs.

coxy47 · 28 Sep 2009, 11:17 (Ref:2549638)

Will it be possible for us to sign on Friday morning when the toyos and mx5s are signing on then?

And if we can sign on Friday can we also scrutineer if we join the back of their queue?

Chezza, am I to late to put my entry in then!

chezza · 28 Sep 2009, 17:14 (Ref:2549892)

To be honest really you probably are. We currently still have 6 reserves and so you would be reserve 7. You would practice, for you to race it would rely on there being 7 drop outs. In any case an entry would have to be with me by tomorrow as we are unable to accept entries after the Tuesday before the meeting (bluebook rules).

Rovcoup · 30 Sep 2009, 20:54 (Ref:2551485)

Looks a little bit wet for the weekend but sunday is looking dry but a lot colder.

bdwoody · 30 Sep 2009, 22:11 (Ref:2551548)

martin will not be out this weekend in the audi a4 as it got broken today.it will be all sorted for brands thou, so the reserves all move up i guess .

chezza · 30 Sep 2009, 22:17 (Ref:2551553)

Shame to hear about the Audi, I was looking forward to seeing it.

Copperbottom · 30 Sep 2009, 22:29 (Ref:2551563)

Gonna be busy in qualifying ;-)

chezza · 1 Oct 2009, 16:16 (Ref:2552031)

Its a HUGE circuit, very long and very wide...I expect you'll get spread out quite nicely.

Copperbottom · 1 Oct 2009, 17:04 (Ref:2552067)

Will the drivers from the middle to the back of the pack be able to see the startline at the starts of the races? will there be lights to tell us when we can start racing? Hopefully we'll all keep close enough to the cars directly infront of us so that we don't stop the drivers behind us having a chance of catching them when the race starts. (lasttwo or three meetings I've been bottled up behind slower starters than me who leave 1-2 car lengths between them and the cars right infront ;-( )

Robert Morris · 1 Oct 2009, 17:08 (Ref:2552075)

I wonder how long the rolling start snake will be?

I think they have repeaters through Luffield?

JasagRacer · 4 Oct 2009, 19:36 (Ref:2554058)

Looks Like I am first to post after the race meeting !! (that's what comes from living in a village close to Silverstone ; whilst the rest of the competitors have barely made it to the M1 or M40, yours truly is sitting indoors with a hot cuppa!!)

Thoroughly enjoyed the racing today; good to see lots of people I haven't touched base with for ages.
Sorry to everyone for those that suffered mechanical woes (Including 3 CV's Grichie!!)
Congrats to Nick for 2 wins.
Rumour is that there is a van with it's side missing that become Rod's new spoiler !!!!

I have taken over 200 piccies from Copse. When I get back from Spain next Saturday (10th) I will download them.

If anyone wants copies e-mailed to them, please send me an e-mail (chris@flatoutfarr.co.uk) with your car no, type and colour and I will endeavour to forward them. I am not Jon B, so tolerate my efforts!!

Roll on Brands.

jonbryant · 4 Oct 2009, 20:47 (Ref:2554100)

New lens has very much liked Silverstone...

STEVED · 4 Oct 2009, 22:14 (Ref:2554167)

Well i finished the last three laps with a flat tyre after running over a stray Exhaust then broke a wheel bearing and ran out of fuel in the second race so not a good weekend.

bdwoody · 5 Oct 2009, 07:50 (Ref:2554297)

my clutch let go on lap 4 and i was on fumes also steve at the end of race 2 . (damn thirsty them little non turbo cars !!! he he )

Copperbottom · 5 Oct 2009, 08:21 (Ref:2554310)

Got to say I really feel for Richard,he waited until the last minute to take up his reserve place in the 2nd race only to have his first dnf or the year!!

I must say what a great circuit! Despite never having seen the place before then my gearlever falling of in qualifying and throttle cable snapping on lap 6 in the 1st race I really enjoyed myself even more so in the 2nd race making up 22 places in 8 laps.
