A1 Grand Prix
« on: September 20, 2005, 11:33:39 am »
Starting to get a little excited about this weekends inaugural meeting at Brands Hatch - it's been a long time coming, and I hope it lives up to it's expectations. Could this be a serious alternative to Bernie's Travelling Circus? Let's hope so...


Anyone else gonna be there?

I'm certainly looking forward to it, though no TV package has been announced for the U.S yet.  Good or bad, it beats wathing hockey and basketball all winter.

I'm anxious to see if Scott Speed can raise his game.

Well I'm gonna be attending on the Saturday (sadly I'm working on Sunday :( )

But the line up looks pretty interesting, The Caterhams & Ginetta's are always a hoot & I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the Thoroughbred GP & Classic Ferraris (first time seeing old school F1 cars in the flesh!!) ;D

Given that the English weather did it's usual and hosed down with rain in July and August for the Moto GP and Silverstone 1000k respectively, I don't see why camping in September should be such a big deal.  Honestly Smokie, are you a man or a mouse?

Getting back to the main question though...I'll be there on Sunday... Kiwi flag in hand.   ;D

Won't be at Silverstone.....but will be camping at Longleat this weekend for the final meeting in the southern hill climb meeting.
Ian of the "Burgundy Beast" will be competeing over Saturday and Sunday.But alas due to his small mishap at Wiscombe Park earlier this year will not take any major honours.

It seemed to work OK the weekend before last, till a caliper started to fall off.  The weight of gaffer tape doesn't help though.

The 1000k-S'stone die-hards should be alright at Brands this weekend.

I left my life jacket at the gate of Silverstone, will pick it up next year to use it again;D

We'll be mostly drinking lager in the bar soaking up the sun in Lanzarote..... Just a copule of bags to load up and we're off.

Give Ian our best for the meeting.
