Morning all! Are any of you going to Silverstone this weekend for the World Endurance Championship... World and European Le Mans racing?

There's a pretty great set of drivers and all the prototypes are amazing. Along with that, you see to class racing for an actually reasonable ticket price and you can see the race from almost any point around the track with open grandstands.

I'll be there on Saturday and Sunday.

I'm going, and after bottling it last year (I had only owned it a week or two back then to be fair) I will be taking the Maser, since the forecast is for a dry day.

It will be like the Arctic in windswept Silverstone, however, so unless you are planning to colonise the indoor 'fanzone' in the Wing take every item of clothing you own, especially a woolly hat and thick gloves!!

Yes, it can be quite crazy there sometimes. I remember one time having to only face the wind as it was strong enough to blow my glasses off my face! Actually, sounds like I might get to be with one of the teams, so some pretty cool indoors watching!

Anyway both of you, give me shout if you fancy meeting up.

did anyone go today? how is the car park condition? have a decision tomorrow to take the spyder, or another car more comfortable with a muddy field.

Well today they had snow, rain, wind and finally some sun and as far as parking is concerned you would have to arrive really late to end up in a muddy field at Silverstone these days.

thank you - sounds like the daily is the option then - was looking forward to a stretch of the legs.
