Silverstone Supercar Showdown 6th May 2006

[rcutler]

Who is going to the Silverstone Supercar Showdown and FIA GT's on the 6th of May?

I plan on going with Dan Lowe, Rob and newbie motorsport fan Loaf.

Looks like no camping is avaliable but maybe we can all plan on staying on the adjactent site at Wittlebury Hall?

We'll be there, so I'm told

I'm planning to be there, was hoping to camp on the 6th. Do you have any details for local campsites Rick?

Whittlebury Park Walking distance with a bar!!!

I like this bit - taken from the campsite's web site:

Fireworks and Alcohol do not mix.
Fireworks and Tents are Dangerous. Fireworks and confined space do not mix.

Guess they've never been to LM - or perhaps they have, and formulated this policy after seeing Friday night's activity at La Sarthe.

Cheers Rick, Will probably be staying there unless my mate who is supposed to be coming with me can get us into a friedn of his house in Towcester which is just down the road apparently.

Was the campsite busy last year, i.e do I need to get a shift on to book a pitch if I want one.

That entry list is  very impressive to me .I wish they would run that stuff here.

I think you'll find that the Whittlebury Park campsite is only walking distance on F1 weekend, for other events you'll have a few miles drive round to the main entrance.

Reasonable facilities, though, and the grass is good, as good as grass gets.......

Spoke to the campsite earlier they said:-

The circuit will only have the gate open to the campsite if there are enough people. If not it is only a short walk round to the main gate.

I will check the OS map as i too believe that it would be a long walk around!

BEST OPTION.

If all of us camp and the site is full then they will open the gate

Booked my ticket will be there all weekend. Most likely camping at Whittlebury. I will keep my eyes peeled for CA shirts as I have never made it to the poo bar faces will not be enough.

Should be popping up on the Sunday
