Next weekend its the 6hr race ( Doesnt 1000kms sound better?) round the new silverstone circuit on the sunday.

Trying to convince myself to go at the moment, could have sworn it was a saturday last time.

Wish I was as close as you to say "I'll go if I don't have any other things to do..." :(

I was thinking of going to it - but my missus is leaving me with the kids on the 11th. :(

hmm.. just saw the sunday ticket is 23quid plus 3quid 'handling fee' or 25 on the day! lol how do they get away with this?

Nope, Defo was a Sunday past 2 years ;)

Im going on sunday :)

Needed something to look forward to with all this stuff going on at the mo and never seen Prototypes in real life before. Good chance its going to be wet so should be interesting.

I'm away this weekend or would have gone. Went the year before last and it was excellent, I really like endurance events and we moved around the circuit and watched from various points which I think adds to the experience.

Regards
Gary

Well that was a Fantastic day yesterday  8)

Weather held up nicely with no rain at all, bit windy but all good.

That has to be the best race meeting Ive ever been to  :o  absolutely brilliant. Theres never a let up in cars going past you, either lapping or racing for position, constant action.

Ive never seen Prototypes up close before and they were something else  ;)  The two Audi's and Pug LMP1's were stunning, they were on rails going round the outside of other cars through Maggots and Becketts, couldn't believe the speed they carried through there.

A very good day and if i had to choose one meeting to go to next year i think it would be this one.

Sounds like a damn good day out Gaz! Going to have to join you next time as i've never seen any prototype racing in the flesh I'm ashamed to say.

I remember seeing Warwick in his Silk Cut Jag at the 1000K's and herr Schumacher with Wendlinger a few years later in the Merc but I have a feeling things might have moved on a fraction since then!

Will stick that on the downloads list anyway, sounds like it's probably worth a peep even on the box.

Hang on, how old are you.....

31. Yep was somewhat of a nipper at the time (10 or 11 I think) but you never forget Group C cars through Copse! Couldn't remember where I was last week mind  :lol:

Yeah..was awesome fun...got a vid of em goin through Maggots etc..Pug looked so much quicker than even the likes of Rebellion through there...the fun really starts once they get into traffic...McNish on Montagny down s/f twice in opening hour..didnt hear him moaning about getting a squeeze against the pitwall..F1 should take note  :P

Ok, i guess i was a late starter into sportscars. Only F1 and touring cars in my early years i seem to recollect. Mansell in the mondeo crashing i just remember. My family is more into the popular, yobbo ball sports like football, cricket so it was a struggle to follow anything. Cant you tell i now hate them with a passion, i love it when they lose!

He should have - I hate seeing that, I've seen too many of those squeezes misjudged with predictably disastrous consequences. :(

Besides, they were probably just staying away from the massive chunks of AstroTurf that seemed to be all over the track after about lap 3. :o :no:

Yeah..does seem pretty pointless that stuff
