Gearing up for a sunny(not) weekend at Sillystone for the WHT, waterproofs and thermals packed! It such a grim place at the best of times and the spectator viewing is somewhat limited but the FF1600 entry is strong as usual and there is shelter to be found in the BRDC grandstand free even for the social outcasts such as me! After the good showing for the FFord Festival at Brands this event always makes for good racing and the pits and paddock are spectator friendly.

Looking forward to this meeting as always - I've even taken the weekend off work to attend. I'll probably be somewhere on the Luffield terrace with a large flask of coffee.
The BBC weather forecast for Silverstone is now looking to be dry and not too cold for the wekend, but a bit breezy on Saturday https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/0/2637827 Edited to add...

The pits remind me of the FFord festival 30-40 years ago when the heats used to run over 3-4 days with so many entrants. Luffled/Woodcote is ok but I prefer going out to the marshall's post at Maggots/Becketts where they are braking to come back across the Wellington straight, it's a good braking/overtaking point as is the approach to Brooklands/Luffield observed from the BRDC stand. Thanks for the links. |

For reasons unconnected with motor sport, I was driving down to the area on Sunday afternoon - not now I aren't . An early start is required - Walter Hayes sounds like the perfect swansong to my season

I shall be there in a marshalling capacity as normal, hoping nobody causes me to have to run around or push anything. Very much looking forward to my last outing of the year before a well-earned rest.

Jst tried to see the results so far.
Live timing is working but the results PDF file for the Support races seems to be non-existent. The WH version is in place and complete to date. If someone could ask the timing people whether the file is posted or pending the Closed Wheel qualifying update I would be grateful. If it's a bad link it might stay unobtainable all day. |

I’ve had a great day out in my 793 March .Qualy P4 behind 2 Atlantic’s and another F3 car . Fantastic start up to second at Copse . Atlantic passed me down to Beckets then F2 car came past up to Luffield . He went straight on and I settled down chasing the Atlantic . Lap five and missfire . Pitted and the battery had gone K Put . Guess my fault as car not run for over a year . I really enjoyed driving the F 3 again . Been lovely day . Well that’s it for 2018 .

Delta - what was the cause of the large amount of smoke being produced as you rounded Luffield towards the end of qualifying?

Great weekend for me, the sight of a mixed grid of 30+ FFords spanning 40 or more years is always a sight to behold. Some really cracking races with top drivers and it's great to see the likes of Rik Morris, Westie Mitchell, Jonathan Lewis and co still getting a thrill from their machinery on track. With a weekend ticket costing just £15 which covered the rallycross event as well, it sure brightens a dull November weekend. |
