Indeed, fingers crossed the one wristband will ‘access all areas!’ (Allow the wearer to go into both pitlanes

)

I got home after collecting the Morgan from surgery at 8pm, so guess we’ll be starting the meeting on a back foot. The car is definitely a ‘she’, as seems to be taking on a bit of a prima donna personna.......

Soon as the curse of early morning starts nowadays, overnight road closures, are finished, I’m off.

Lola · 19 Jul 2018, 10:22 (Ref:3837464)

Does anyone know of where I can find a printable timetable for the weekend?

A full entry list would be great too.

(saves me buying a £10 program just for the racecard!)

Have you looked on the Silverstone Classic website? ( Maybe their timetable is not in a printable format )

HSCC usually publish entry list on their website but can’t see at the moment.

Lola · 19 Jul 2018, 11:38 (Ref:3837481)

Thanks Mike, The Silverstone classic website format would take several pages and full of stuff I didn't need, such as Mike Brewers car clinic etc. I could make my own I guess.

redshoes · 19 Jul 2018, 12:31 (Ref:3837487)

You can filter the timetable on Silverstone Classic website to take out all the non-track stuff. It's still not a great format to print though.

If you look on the event on the HSCC website, the Final Instructions have a timetable on the last page. It's not a great format but should be enough for what you are after.

Masters,HGPCA and Motor Racing Legends have there entry lists on there websites although I can't find Super Touring Pre 63 or FJ.

Mike Bell · 19 Jul 2018, 14:02 (Ref:3837511)

The event suffers from the fact that HSCC run the track action, but individual organisers are responsible for their grids and entry lists. I would guess this is frustrating for the HSCC, and can also lead to the pre printed programme not being totally accurate....

There is now a problem with the circuit licence! It could mean some races using the historic layout and some the modern. No doubt all will be revealed, and hopefully drivers will know before venturing out.

**Peter Mallett** · 19 Jul 2018, 14:25 (Ref:3837519)

Yup we signed on this afternoon and we are racing on the Formula One track. Gonna need new brake pads!

We had fun testing and Iain has really settled into the car. Brakes were locking this morning but this afternoon after a small adjustment we could turn in to corners with no issue. Well done Ken Clarke for getting the car ready. Now for a great weekend.

Lola · 19 Jul 2018, 14:29 (Ref:3837524)

Lets hope so!!

The last experience I had at the circuit, I turned left at Abbey (lucky it was only on a Sim!!!)

Its a good event, and the weather should be good this year. Remember about 3 years ago sat in the stand freezing my n*&s off and pouring with rain.

Historic racing must be a nightmare to get any sort of entry list together as reliability issues and the packed calendar we have now must play havoc.

Mike we are aware of this and all cars will be told which circuit they are running on but my understanding is below.

“The following races will now race on the Modern Grand Prix circuit with the Vale in place.

Masters FIA Historic Formula One

Masters FIA Historic Sports Cars

Masters Endurance Legends.

HSCC Road Sports

Jet Super Touring Cars

Historic Touring Car Challenge

The remaining races which are purely for Pre’72 will qualify and race on the Grand Prix Circuit with the Historic Vale in place. “

grantp · 19 Jul 2018, 14:50 (Ref:3837528)

Historic Abbey and Woodcote would have been nice too for Pre '72 .....

brands · 19 Jul 2018, 15:21 (Ref:3837531)

Woodlands campsite filling up nicely, our tents are up and we are currently listening to cars whizzing around in the field next door.

Alan Morgan · 19 Jul 2018, 16:01 (Ref:3837537)

This is a fairly legible timetable...

geordiecriag101 · 19 Jul 2018, 16:42 (Ref:3837542)

Hope this is ok to post, but a screen grab from the digital race card showing the timetable for all 3 days:

Are you able to put the link to the race card up if so that would be great? What you looking forward to seeing the most as I am unable to attend?

Mike Bell · 20 Jul 2018, 05:42 (Ref:3837630)

I don’t think you’ll do better than the timetable Alan posted 3 back.

Thanks Alan and geordiecraig.......

Warm in the paddock last night, but fingers crossed we don’t get a possible thunderstorm later in the day! I’m content with dry and dusty.....

Has anyone stumbled across an entry list for the RAC trophy pre 63gt race?

Cheers,shame about the Ferrari GTO and No 1 Aston not appearing in Pre 63

GCCheddaris · 20 Jul 2018, 10:21 (Ref:3837665)

Presumably problems for Olly Bryant in the Pre '61 Sportscars ? Also interesting to see the front engined Formula Juniors comprehensively outqualifying the early rear engined cars .

Lola · 20 Jul 2018, 12:30 (Ref:3837679)

Thanks everyone

geordiecriag101 · 20 Jul 2018, 12:59 (Ref:3837682)

Just been watch the Historic Touring Car Challenge quali at Vale and there been sum hair raising moments. They using the GP section and there are a wide range of braking abilities of those cars!

I've been thinking the same listening to the timing,the AMC Javelin had a oil leak and there was 3 or 4 cars that had issues with 48 starters.
