Reido Rules · 12 Feb 2002, 18:46 (Ref:214748)

Is there any testng there this week according to scheduals there will be but it started today and all the teams were at other venues.

Carrie · 12 Feb 2002, 19:03 (Ref:214768)

It was cancelled last week apparently. I believe next week's test at Silverstone will still go ahead.

Reido Rules · 12 Feb 2002, 20:50 (Ref:214866)

Thanks Carrie

Speedworx · 12 Feb 2002, 21:09 (Ref:214894)

Next week is going ahead and I will be going (I hope)

Osella · 12 Feb 2002, 21:11 (Ref:214896)

is it free to get in on test days? are any facilities open?

Reido Rules · 12 Feb 2002, 21:30 (Ref:214925)

from my experiances there are little facilities open. But I can't attend next week but i was hoping to be there on thursday. There is no official confirmation it is off but I don't think we need it.

Reido Rules · 12 Feb 2002, 21:30 (Ref:214926)

oh and they are free

Carrie · 12 Feb 2002, 21:31 (Ref:214928)

It is free, but spectating is usually limited the the area in front of the Luffield stand. Facilities are usually limited to burger van if you're lucky at this time of year, I usually opt to head into Buckingham during the lunch break - which means an opportunity to look round the F1 shop there as well

Reido Rules · 13 Feb 2002, 18:55 (Ref:215349)

Is there any trsting in GB for any racing this week. Oulton, Donn, Silverstone in particular???

Speedworx · 13 Feb 2002, 18:56 (Ref:215351)

The canteen under the grandstand was open last time. I really hope to make it next Tuesday, but its not confirmed yet.

Osella · 13 Feb 2002, 20:28 (Ref:215407)

Crank Case · 18 Feb 2002, 19:15 (Ref:218560)

I'm waiting for the big one in May

Think I might go to all 3
Hopefully it will be a bit warmer and you’re almost guaranteed to see all the cars.
The poor mans way to see F1 cars

Speedworx · 18 Feb 2002, 19:19 (Ref:218562)

is this a sign of things to come?? can the jaguar really be 1.5 seconds slower than the arrows with a customer (albeit the same) engine?

if so, ford should pull the plug on jag, and comback as an engine supplier!

Speedworx · 19 Feb 2002, 19:14 (Ref:219046)

Its seems like it. I have been saying for ages that Arrows will beat Jaguar.

steve nielsen · 19 Feb 2002, 19:34 (Ref:219050)

HHF only 10 laps, Bernoldi only 7, both had gearbox problems.........

Speedworx · 19 Feb 2002, 20:02 (Ref:219076)

....and still they beat Jaguar!

Reido Rules · 19 Feb 2002, 21:18 (Ref:219140)

Maybe Arrows were doing Qual type work and Jag were doing a Race sim, seems possible. Remember the blitzing form of Prost in pre season testing last year??? Exactly they were nothing like it in the season.

Crank Case · 19 Feb 2002, 21:30 (Ref:219149)

I believe it's a good ploy to get some last minute sponsership money.
Funny how the Teams with less money always do well in testing isn't it

Speedworx · 19 Feb 2002, 22:46 (Ref:219198)

Yes it is (hakkiman looks at Ferrari)
