I'll be at the F1 testing at Silverstone on 17th August.
Don't know what teams / drivers will be there yet, but looking forward to it |

I'm going probably on the Wednesday and Thursday . . . . but it will depend on which teams/drivers will be there.
Wonder if Dario will test again, as I missed him last week? |

Seeing as you've given me a decent amount of notice this time, i'll see if I can get the day off work - though, being two drivers short, I doubt i'll be there

Don't die of shock everyone but I have booked 17th off work. One of my workmates might be coming as well. It depends if the boss will let us both have the same day off at once.

So, chaps, What's the score? (Don't say two nil!) How does one go about this F1 testing malarky? Do you just turn up and watch? Any pre-booking of tickets involved? What's it cost? Where do you stand? Can I come along? Why so many stupid questions? Shall I bring Jelly Babies? |

It is free and if you promise to behave we might even let you come along The spectating areas are pretty limited, sometimes you can't get any further than Woodcote / Luffield, other times they'll let you get round as far as Copse. I think the testing normally starts at 10 and runs until 1, there's then a lunch break before testing resumes at 2 and continues until 5. There is a testing hotline 01327 857271 number which is a recorded which just tells you the dates of testing and times, and not a lot else.
Okay, that's sorted, Sparky's bringing the jelly babies, what about the rest of the supplies for the day I'll bring the Hob Nobs - do we want the chocolate ones or the ordinary ones? |

And Sparky, you can only come if you promise to make a complete and utter idiot of yourself when your favourite driver leaves in the evening, so much so that the next day he hides his face underneath a magazine so as to avoid you.
I am not speaking from experience here... Oh dammnit I am, SORRY HEINZ-HARALD... |

ARSE!!!
Are you mad, Minardi fan? I mean, sh1t, you support H-HF and Minardi! Nutter!!! I guess you wish he drove for them; good thing he's signed with Jordan again, then...
I dunno whether I can be there. I hope to be, although it depends on whether I have a job (ie. still here) or not (read: back home)... |

My friends and I are known as the schizophrenic F1 fans...
I support Minardi and Jordan, Frentzen, Alesi, and have taken a liking to Verstappen. Go figure that out. |

Invader said he 'may' go too. Maybe he could give you a 'ride', Lorna ?
