Does anyone know what the "clubman" layout will look like. I think they don't get access to the international pits so it might be that the pits will be in the car park area beyond the first corner.

Great entertainment at Silverstone today dodging from one side of the circuit to the other between the rallycross and the FFord event. For me it's the first time I've seen live rallycross since they they last held events at Brands Hatch in the 80's. The retro cars held my attention in particular the 6R4 and RS200 which appeared briefly before being sidelined with mechanical problems but it was a thrill to see all the machinery in a action even on a miserable wet and cold November day.

Did the same - popped over during the lunch break at the WHt and managed to see a few races. The only disappointment - and I know it's been said before - is given how much space the Stowe circuit occupies, the rallycross layout is far too small and slow.

I wondered about that, the layout is a bit Mickey Mouse, there appears to be plenty of room to make it slightly more adventurous,

I was at Silverstone yesterday. My feelings on the circuit are unchanged (and I didn't think it was quite as spectator friendly yesterday given that the Stowe building was closed), but I still enjoyed the racing.
As has been said above there is room to expand, I really hope they revise the circuit during the off season and make use of the extra space that is available. Great to see the Supercar title go down to the wire. Drive of the day had to be from Oliver Bennett, by far and away the best performance I have seen from him. Real shame that his day was cut short by fire. |
