Who is coming to Silverstone???
« on: April 27, 2005, 08:14:28 pm »
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.

Rick, is this infield camping, or is it at the golf club/country club nexdt door that has an access gate to the circuit??

Hoping to do the weekend, but worse case scenario I will be there for the Sunday!!

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.

Sadly not for me, i have to watch the finances at the moment as Sebring is taking its toll on me. So i will be watching it on Eurosport unless I win a ticket from Planet Rock. :(

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??

Sorry I won't be able to share a tent with you this time JP.

Myself, my better half and the new Trans Am will be visiting Dick's house for some pre-LM planning and Leffe tasting.

...and some ogling of Vintage Military Vehicle magazines  :-\
