It's not a bump in price, it is their standard price. Advanced just means you can get it cheaper.

Advance booking for MSV closes at noon on Thurs, so you wouldn't have been able to book on a Friday anyhow. Silverstone will do collections the circuit; the info page for the event on their website even says in big red letters that orders after noon Tues will be held for collection. Ticket office is the car park on the left just before the main gate.

looks alright

Alfaholic · 27 Sep 2019, 19:10 (Ref:3930468)

Keep an eye out for advance deals for next year - there's normally some form of half price offer based around "Black Friday" which is where I got my weekend ticket for £20. It was a bit odd buying an advance ticket for September 2019 in November 2018 'though.

Having seen the weather forecast for the weekend, those camping look to be in for a bit of a wet & windy one - glad I've got a hotel booked!

Nice 😁

Is 44 Caineys usual number? Hamilton out and t'other Hamiltons number on!

porsche962fan · 28 Sep 2019, 15:40 (Ref:3930586)

so what are the odds that JP will miss the starting box again ?

very surprised to see Turks ahead of his main rivals !!! and with Oliphant near him to act as rear gunner

porsche962fan · 28 Sep 2019, 15:45 (Ref:3930589)

the other question what will Matt Neal do , go for the win or try to bunch everyone behind so Cammish may try to pass

Jason Plato said: “I’ve made a couple of parking errors that have cost us a couple of good results I think. Lining up on the grid is easy here because it’s a straight piece of Tarmac.”

I think he's already answered it:

Matt Neal said: “If it’s wet then it could be a bit more of a lottery, but either way it will be a team game on our side.”

porsche962fan · 28 Sep 2019, 16:26 (Ref:3930596)

last time he tried such a team game to block Colin Turkington went so well.... back in 2009

Sodemo · 28 Sep 2019, 16:38 (Ref:3930600)

I don’t think BMW will have the speed to fight Honda tomorrow, besides it will almost certainly be wet, so that’s advantage FWD.

Ahh, the paralaxis is much better here.

didn't he complain about straight line speed of TOCA engine and now he is on pole on a straight line track ? funny coincidence

I think you're conflating the use of the term straight here?

Alfisti · 28 Sep 2019, 20:27 (Ref:3930637)

The reminiscing old git in me would like to see a good old fashioned JP and Matt battling it out for the win. I suspect Mr Smiley has plans though!

Let's hope JP parks the car properly this time, don't want to be robbed of some entertainment.

Caineys qualy was pretty good... not the last Foci, and I don't think Jackson was impeded at any point, so let's hope some solid results can be had.

45 kilos in too, very impressed!

Should be a good race tomorrow, with the top 3 all desperately wanting a win this season. Would love to see Chris stick it to the old boys!

Up until the last few minutes Cainey was the quickest of the Ford's, good job considering he's straight into the car with no testing. Goff had a decent day, was sitting as high as 8th at one point.

Yes, I noticed that, although surprisingly it wasn't TOCA engines leading the way in speed traps. It's still BMW. Plato was 12th and 5th respectively in the speed traps. Not bad, but not spectacular...

porsche962fan · 29 Sep 2019, 09:10 (Ref:3930718)

here's something weird

so Stephen Jelly was supposed to be the tow partner for Jordan

why would he do that as he is not part of WSR ?

Quote:

We planned that I was going to work with Stephen and that Tom [Oliphant] and Colin would work together,

maybe Team Parker intends to get a 3 series for next year and they have to play nice with Uncle Dick ?

**touringlegend** · 29 Sep 2019, 10:22 (Ref:3930728)

Perhaps it’s just because they have a 1 series and WSR can arrange some cheap parts for them.

skells22 · 29 Sep 2019, 10:56 (Ref:3930733)

Race 1 is about to start and I have to do double screen here

Johno.UK · 29 Sep 2019, 10:59 (Ref:3930734)

I expect Sutton to win this looking at the weather. More rain and Crees could win it!

porsche962fan · 29 Sep 2019, 11:26 (Ref:3930742)

does Turks have some sort of target on his back ?

Jordan the bigger winner in title fight

Amazing how Matt Neal was suddenly able to go much faster once Turks had been spun round.

Be interesting to see what he does in the next race if Jordan gets him off the start

slummingangel · 29 Sep 2019, 11:29 (Ref:3930748)

What was with that mirror incident at the end of the race?
