Wot, no fiat 500s?

have to make do with rolls for breakfast only!

Piglet · 11 Apr 2011, 16:44 (Ref:2861997)

Timetable is here http://www.msvracing.co.uk/media/149...%20gp%20f2.pdf

Details of the raffle etc are here http://www.msvracing.co.uk/marshalling.aspx

Any pits and startline marshals would be especially welcome to save me having to run too far!

strider · 11 Apr 2011, 18:43 (Ref:2862049)

Thanks for the timetable link, Piglet. Exactly what I needed. I shall be there both days and will make a point of coming to see you. It sounds as though you will be in the pit lane rather than race control?

Piglet · 11 Apr 2011, 18:52 (Ref:2862055)

Strider, I'll be everywhere I suspect! It will depend on how many pits/startline marshals we have. It will be nice to see you, haven't seen you for ages.

Steven Humphrey · 11 Apr 2011, 18:59 (Ref:2862060)

Looking forward to this one-my first visit to Silverstone this season! The line up looks good (no Fiats!!) & forecast is good so should be good.

Alan Crook · 12 Apr 2011, 11:36 (Ref:2862361)

The Lotus drivers have invited all marshals to the Lotus paddock between 18.30 & 20.00 on Saturday evening where a band will be playing.

I'm sure I shall find you, Piglet, and will look forward to it. Truly a case of long time, no see!

TerryD · 12 Apr 2011, 15:24 (Ref:2862454)

If your in the pitlane Piglet I will see you there, so there may be 2 of us???

Looking forward to the first Silverstone visit of the year and as always the Elise competitors make us welcome, I understand that they will be making contributions to the marshal's raffle as normal.

Should be a good weekend.

Hi,

I've never marshalled at Silverstone before. I'm more of an Oulton Park regular.

I'm planning on camping, I hear there's a marshal campsite near Copse Corner. Can I just rock up and pitch my tent on Friday night?

Any protocol or essential info I should know about?

Where do incident marshals sign on?

Yup, we arrived about midnight last weekend, no problem of access. You take a left as you go through the security gate, follow perimeter road round to just past the 'Bridge Shop' and then look for a gate on the left hand side of the road into a
grassy area - that's campsite.

Yes, provide beer and chips to anyone who has beaten you onto the campsite

Go through the 'Copse Tunnel' <-- that's the tunnel just outside the campsite

Then take second right down a small roadway between pitlane and paddock, down to Paddock Diner, then join the queue!

Enjoy

The guys on the entry gate will point you towards the copse campsite, and people on the campsite will point you onwards, I only do the odd Silverstone meeting but everyone is freindly and helpfull. Come and say hello, I shall be in the slightly odd looking green tent with a landrover.

I have heard that the series has been cancelled (maybe lack of entries).

I've heard something similar. Certainly the Oulton races have been removed from the event timetable as have references to the competition on MSVR's website.

Thanks for the help Deadsquirrel, you too Ian. Hope to see you there! I'll be in a Mk2 Golf GTI.

Entries list dated today is here http://www.msvracing.co.uk/media/159...17%20april.pdf

Fair sized grids for most sessions and reserves list for Elise folk, like the look of the mix in the other Lotus listing too. Minis could do with a few more. Notice the boy Tiff is out in a cobra & Tony Jardine in a 911 for the Heritage, but my eyes will be on the Pantera.

I'll be along on the Sunday having been to The Rock! It'll be interesting to see how fast these F2 cars are...

The racing has been good today with most keeping it on the black stuff, with a few exceptions.

The Cobra looks well prepared, but (and I hate to say it) it doesn't look good in orange! There are a couple of "Top Gear Technology Centre Prepared" cars here, worryingly 27 has the name J.Clarkson in the window!

The Lotus Cup Teams did a fine job in supplying beer, music, BBQ and banter in equal measures this evening, lets see how they cope with an hour long race tomorrow.

Well done to Jon Tillott on winning a 2 week all inclusive holiday to Grenada, I think Jon is now checking the internet to see if there are any motorsport events he can attend whilst there.

And fending off all his new best friends

Good couple of days at Becketts Centre. Some good racing to keep an eye on and kept fairly busy (more so on Saturday, particularly with the Lotii).

A pleasure to put tenths tag to face spending time with PapaJuliet, as well.
