THE ASTON WILL HAVE IT'S UK DEBUT HERE.
I telephoned the circuit campsite today with regard to camping over during the World GT Championships on the 14/15th of May.
They have camping pitches avaliable. I have a booking form on the way and will book for anyone who wants to come. A deposit is required but am not sure how much it is yet. (or if we get a block booking discount)
Campsite even has a bar!!! ;D ;D ;D
Think we can get a few CA'ers out this weekend. Let me know via PM if you want me to book.

If it is the Whittlebury Park, the bar is a fair old walk away from where they actually allow you to pitch up. A few years ago we went to the historic festival up there and the sales pitch was better than what was delivered.
But hey, if there is a CA meet and beers will be flowing I should drag my arse up there, even better as it looks like I have hospitallity sorted during the race!! ;D ;D

At the risk of tempting Fate again, yes, I hope to going, and taking the boy. I know it won't have anything like the atmosphere of LM, but it's the best we can do this year, and if he doesn't like it enough he can stay at home next June and look after his mum ......

We will be there, but will not be camping on the basis we're only 45 mins away.

OK. I'm definateoly going for the Sunday, but if there is going to be a reasonable CA contingent going for Saturady and Sunday I will probably take the tent and stay the Saturday as well.
Any final decisions from anyone else to help me make up my mind??

So who is actually planning on going this weekend and who plans to camp? The though of seeing the Astons is getting my juices going (did I mention that I DIDNT go to SEBRING).
Also where shall we meet on Sunday and at what time?

I would suggest at the start off the lunch break in the paddock. Think there is a permenant loo block by two eateries that would be a good spot!
a few of us will call each other on arrival.

The weather clearly doesn't favour race tracks. Sebring was pretty wet for a day and Spa was covered in fog.
Did I mention I went to both? :)

I think you may have mentioned that you went to SEBRING and SPA a few times, did you feel the pins being inserted in the most sensitive part of your body?
Did I mention I didnt go to either
I have my thermal underware and imager ready, and plan to be there on Sunday, not sure about Brad he's working on a passout.
Phill can you PM me your mobile number.

Didn't need a pass out for Silverstone, Mrs. Russ got me a ticket, free, and one for her, and one for a mate, with paddock pass's and a little light hospitality.
Thank you very much Mr. Car Manufacturer that she works for... ;D
