Yeh just checked it's gonna rain. Oh well it is Silverstone after all. Should make it an interesting race though and well dark by the finish. Looking forward to it Iv'e never been to a night race at Silverstone. And it will probably mean that god awful band won't be in the paddock bar this year. Jesus Christ that singer was ugly, face like a plumbers tool bag. That was no power cut that plug was pulled intentionally.

I refuse to accept that it will rain this weekend! I have made the necassery arrangements with the government agencies reponsible for the weather and they say that the weather will move in a counter-clockwise direction around silverstone  ;) ;D

I have spoken!

Steve

I wouldn't trust that forecast. Went to Portugal golfing in Feb & they forecast SNOW, we had 4 days of wall to wall sunshine. 8) Hope they are wrong again

Yes, and the BBC say sunny intervals instead.  However they do think its raining outside now, which it isn't.

Take sun tan lotion and snow shows. 

I'm at Castle Combe instead (with no roof)

In wise foresight I threw my rain jacket into the truck before it departed this morning. My 8) will come with me on the plane, though.
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Fidget, as entertaining as a trip to Twickenham is, this weekend is only one of many to enjoy the rugby. There is only one Silverstone 1000k a year and you should be there come rain or shine (more like rain I think). Come on you will only regret it later.

Saw the Oreca transporter on the M25 this afternoon, which is sadly as close as I will come to any racing this weekend as the dreaded work has scuppered any plans I may have had.

Have a good race chaps.
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

Fidget,

I have to agree with Bob on this one.  As much as going to Twickers is a good way to spend a Saturday, and as great as rugby is (despite the Blacks losing to the Boks last weekend), it does not compare to the 1000k!  Tell whomever is taking you to Twickers that you have to do your hair/nails or make up some other random excuse to duck out and get up to Silverstone. 
Live imperfectly and with great delight.

Today the BBC say its going to rain, and weather.com say sun.

My seaweed says sun with the occaisional black cloud, so monsoon tyres its is.

Wish I could be there
