Silverstone Supercar Showdown 6th May 2006

So what was the score at Whittlebury?

Were you near the main entrance, ie nowhere near the circuit and therefore had to drive to the main entrance, or did you scale the fences?

Was it wet on Saturday night

We were on the marshals campsite for the weekend and had a blast 

Very much a run in for Le Mans - we got rolling drunk on the Saturday night and the weather was lovely    It rained a couple of times over night and at some times during the day but Saturday night we sat outside the tent eating steak and crepes until nearly 1am - felt (and looked!) like poo all of sunday though!

We enjoyed the racing, thought about camping over, but we only live 45 mins away from the circuit, and I like my bed.

The Campsite was good albeit a bit expensive, The gate was open so only a 15 minute walk altough it seemed a lot further when it was teeming down with rain on Saturday. Good to meet up with Jay Team Cannonball, Sooty and Chris24. Would recommend the campsite only if camping on circuit is not available.  Looking forward to an event on at Silverstone when the campsite is open so i can cut deep into another finger

What confused me last year was that they allowed camping at Silverstone for the LMES event but not the Britcar 24 hours.

So it was you then Piglet.....

We were in the Marshalls campsite too, but didn't get back till about midnight on saturday night after visiting the teams that were still working and then heading into the village for a beer or two. 

Rick, Britcar 24hrs was a bit of a cockup at Silverstone last year, the Silverstone people thought that cos they had rented the circuit to the Britcar people then the Britcar people would do all of the organising......  But they didn't.....  But this year I think the circuit people will be doing the organising so I would expect there to be some camping, but don't quote me on that!

Whoops!!    I was going to post an apology thread on the marshals forum on 10/10's - It did occur to me on Sunday that we were probably quite loud 

We were in the middle of the second "part" of the field - Saab, BMW with roofbox, Skoda three tents and a caravan with another BMW.    We weren't the bigger group in the middle of the first part of the campsite who looked like they were in for a session as well!!

errrrr, we were part of the other lot.... 
Big green Aston was (is) me
