Johnny Walker was talking about this on R2 this morning, what I thought was interesting was that he say that MS had been at Silverstone on Sunday for a race meeting so he'd presumably been at the Classic?

Was he announced as being there or was he just there on a bit of a jolly on his own?

The fact that he was driving a van, suggests he was transporting something I would say.

Not big enough for a car, a motor bike maybe? I dont believe his presence at Silverstone would have gone unnoticed either.

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.

Hmmm that's what I thought...but they said he'd been at Silverstone on Sunday....

The BBC news report doesn't say that though.

Maybe he was at Brands, the bike are on next week, could have been a private test ??? As nordic says the vans big enough for a bike.

We were running World Touring Cars at Brands last weekend and there were no reports of him being there.  They deff said Silverstone on t'radio.
