Silverstone LMS 6hr Race 10/11th September

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!

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

Well that was a Fantastic day yesterday 

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    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.

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

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.

Yeah..does seem pretty pointless that stuff
