Onto home turf for the sixth race of our Season 17 Gold Cup fortnightly races being run in conjunction with GBGPL. Our first five races leave the leaders as Hristo, Fulvio and Evil Clive. With 45 points between the top five and four races to go the championship is still wide open. We were down to four drivers last race but putting that down to the bank holiday and hoping for higher attendance this time round.

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.
