Silverstone is built on the site of a World War II bomber base, RAF Silverstone, which opened in 1943. The track hosted the first F1 championship race in 1950. The British Grand Prix has been permanently held here since 1987 although it is due to switch to Donnington Park in 2010. The airfield's three runways, in classic WWII triangle format, lie within the outline of the present track. The first two races were held on the runways themselves, with the 1949 International Trophy switching to the perimeter track. This arrangement was used for the 1950 and 1951 Grands Prix. In 1952 the start line was moved from the Farm Straight to the present Finish Straight, and this layout remained largely unaltered for the following 35 years. Since 1975 the track has been modified with the introduction of chicanes etc – we are using the 1960’s layout.

Cheers for the reminder on donating Bernie, meant to do that last weekend. Tim, check the Paypal! :)

Since I'm short on pick-up races with real-live humans does this come under my ban or not? A simple yes or no will suffice. :)

Excellent, mind if I join? I don't mind footy, but not when the next-favourite team isn't in it any more.

Just a bit of fun as the server is free, the more the merrier...

I suspect, if the football hadn't over-run, we might have had a bigger turn-out. Still great race and good to see some new and old faces.

Bit of a solo race for me but enjoyed it.

BTW; if you didn't like 'Wigram' blame the race leader as he wrote it :notworthy:
