Im going to make the Saturday, then popping down to Silverstone for the night session at the 24hrs!
Anyone know how many people went last year to the RWS? Im hoping Saturday will be a little less busy. |

I shall be there all three days. Great meeting last year, hope it keeps it up.
Just the right amount of fanfare to make it feel like a big event and a distinct lack of fuss and self-importance in the organisation so it is not a pain to work at. Regards Jim |

I'm going for the afternoon 3.5 Race one on Saturday and then all day with some family and friends on Sunday.
Cracking series and not a bad support card by any means. |

I'll be looking out for the main contenders in 3.5 namely Parente, Soucek Maldonado and Garcia.
Although is there a possibility that Rossiter or Kane could crash the party at home? |

Can anybody tell me what is required to park my car in the infield section at Donington? Do I need a special pass, and if not which entrance should I go to?

I think you can get cars to the infield via the tunnel at Coppice - not sure about any special requirements though, sorry.

Yeah kidzer is about right.
The only problem might be with 'officialdom' I.E gate/secrutiry people diverting you where they've been 'yold' to.if there's a lot of traffic. I usually politely but swiftly thank them and say i'm jolly well drviing to where I want to park (sometime works!) I'm gonna head round the back down to the opposite bank between Old Hairpin and Starkeys - get a nice view of everyone piling down to Old Hairpin and up past out of sight before they reappear between MacLeans and Coppice. Get a nice bit of sun there to boot! Again much depends on where guards are directing traffic - last year I think a guy tried to stop me going round there but I don't know why because there was loads of cars parked round there (inlcuding campers) and hardly any cars on the bank in point. |

McIntosh quickest in second practice 1.18.289
from Danilesson, Pavlovic (clearly revelling in Draco car?), Valsecchi, Zaugg and Aleshin, Montanari, Kane, Salignon, Miguez. Top 19 cars in that session covered by just over 9 tenths. Maldonado languishing in both sessions, but then he didn't fare too well here last year.... |

Are they using the longer Grandprix circuit or just the National layout?

'Grand Prix' circuit, must be as it was dry and sunny all day.
If they'd be doing the short circuit, times would prob be just under a minute or so |

Mid-way through quali for 3.5 and it's scorcgio here at Donners...
Rammed with fans too, whio were all given a little Renault radio to listen to the radio commentary as they came in - nice little touch I thought... Queues this morning and the police obviously expect a lot for tomorrow, as they will one-way all approach roads and local papers warned people going to the airport to leave extra time... I shall be doing the same... Leave early, get bacon buttie at the track! Still in two minds anyone???
