Don't be too hard on yourself Monkey with kids and other concessions the attendance probably did break into triple figures...

I have to laugh that on the Silverstone Website the next event is the Bennets SuperBike Championship on the 16-17th of September?

If you've not bought your tickets yet there's a £5 off voucher on the eerc website http://www.eerc.co.uk/24hrsite/  makes the advance price £15!  Bargain, me thinks.

Hi all,

Went to this last year and thought it was a great event, can`t wait to go again, fortunatley a mate of mine has one of the paddock suites which overlooks the pit entrance, this is where we slept last year, not the most comfy of experiences but after a a few gallons of san miguel it was good enough.
see you there

Enjoy yourselves all - can't join in, as we will be racing in the BORC this weekend round Walter's Arena, Rheola and Resolfen in South Wales, otherwise I'd be there.   Looks like the makings of a good weekend, whatever the racing is like!   Weather forecast looks pretty good for this weekend too....

[rcutler]

Yes once again Mark, good luck and WHY do we have to have all the good Motorsport on the same weekends.

Donnington LMES vs British GT's Brands Hatch
Le Mans vs Ring 24 hours
Britcar vs Offroad

I am sure that list can be added to! (probably corrected to though)

[monkey]

Just checked the weather forecast for the weekend and it is looking really good. As I mentioned earlier in the thread I really wish I was able to get to this event this year, the more support it gets the more chance there is of it becoming a regular part of the UK motor racing calendar. For all those going, I hope it is every bit as enjoyable as it was last year. I will repeat a word of warning however, last year the catering was virtually non existent and given the low turn out then, I can only assume that the caterers would be nervous about turning up again for this event. So probably best to carry some food and beer rations with you just in case. Enjoy. 

[rcutler]

Right, I am now working on Saturday in London! Bugger but it will pay for the weekend!

I expect I will arrive at the circuit at 1900. I know I will miss the start and all the support races but it should still be fun!

See those of you that are going.

PM me if you want my mobile so we can arrange to meet up

NB the race will on the live radio channel Globecast (channel 0157 if you have a digibox.)  Likewise Petit Le Mans.  Makes pretty frustrating listening in my experience as there are no pics but better than nothing...?

[rcutler]

They also have a website 0157.org! you can listen to it there aswell!

Please wish Rollcentre Shorty all the best from me if you run into him. He'll be there with the Mosler.
