Silverstone finals day.....

[Clio Man]

Hi all,

been a bit quiet last few days so thought Id try to get us talking about Silverstone, whose going...? and what you hoping for from the weekend..?

I will be there on Sunday, and will be looking for Matt Neal to take his back to back championship, Im hoping for good racing and the weather to keep dry! I am pretty conficent we will have at least one of those!!

you......?

[Ben Scott]

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday, all I hoping to see is some great racing!

[Chilton fan]

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday which is a first for as I normally just go for the Sunday but I've got VIP passes with VXR so really can't wait now! I'm hoping Jason Plato can win the title but I doubt it will happen! Also hoping for good racing and good weather!

[sonofzelda]

I'll be there to cheer for Neal....if he goes off on the first corner.

[Les]

I am off to Silverstone Friday morning for testing and to help to set up Nick's garage

Please let it be sun and dry

[Kasalic]

Will be there for the weekend.

Hoping to see some good racing, fine weather and I will be watching the RAC boys, it seems everyone else is asking if JP can beat Matt N but don't forget Colin T will be looking to take 2nd in the championship too :)

[sonofzelda]

Neal will win the first race in the pouring rain and everyone will go home.

[Grip]

Neal will win the first race in the pouring rain and everyone will go home.

Could have told us that before I bought the tickets.....:rolleyes:

[Chilton fan]

I heard the weather's ment to be good at the weekend. Fingers crossed!

[Brooklands78]

I'll be there for the weekend, using Saturday to find some good places for fence-free photography!

[CharlieJ]

Neal will win the first race in the pouring rain and everyone will go home.
Forecast for the weekend is good at the moment. Soupy and I will be getting there about lunchtime on Saturday.

Ideal situation for me (and Soupy):
Race one: Matt and Jason have DNFs - Colin wins.
Race two: Matt has a DNF - Colin wins.
Race three: well, obviously we'd like Colin to win, but by that time it would just be all about suspense and entertainment!

Seriously, I don't wish bad luck on either Matt or Jason, but I'm looking forward to some good racing, and hopefully the title won't be decided in the first race.

We (me, missus, three girls) will be there sunday only, setting off from the NW early doors and hope to be down there in time to "set up" for the day.

I suspect we'll be outside of brooklands, or may try somewhere different.

Will be nice to see a car go into the gravel and not have to grab a fire extinguisher and run to it :D

[MartinB]

I'll be there on Sunday with wife, son and his mate, probably find a spot in the covered stand around Woodcote. About a 1.5 hr drive to get to Silverstone for me, aiming to get there between 8 and 8:30.

Also lucky enough to be able to do a grid walk before Race 1 - although unfortunately can't take the 2 boys because of the under 16 rule.

[Jeffers]

I'll be there both days as my girlfriend bought me weekend tickets for my birthday!

Not sure how far I'll be able to walk as I managed to roll my ankle playing basketball last night (there was a nice popping sound when I did it!) and am now hobbling around like a fool.

Just going to get the ankle checked out and hopefully I'll have a little more movement in it by the weekend?!

Hope you make it. When I did that (long long time ago) I was out of action for a couple of weeks!

[Jeffers]

Just got back from the docs - a couple of x-rays later and it's just a bad sprain.

I'll be there this weekend, it may just atke me all weekend to make it around the track!!

[Marc W]

I'll be there all weekend again (Saturday and Sunday), all around the circuit taking photos.

[kaisersalsek]

I'm there saturday and sunday... come on plato!!

[ianc]

I went to Donington as a guest of VXR. They put on a very nice lunch.

[Frantic]

me my dad and a mate of mine are going, cant wait, it'll be great to see the largest grid in recent years, Just hope matt can do it and theres no repeat of last time i went a final donington 04 results werent what i wanted even if the racing was awesome., (didnt finish a race due to various reasons)

[FRENCHIE44T]

I heard the weather's ment to be good at the weekend. Fingers crossed!


It had better be, I dont want to be standing out in the rain somewhere around the track AGAIN at Silverstone. :mad:

[Frantic]

good weather has been forcast? ill pack the rain coat...

Interesting what plato has said, “If I get into the lead of a race then I’m not going to walk off into the distance. I’ll deliberately try to stack the field back to cause a bit of confusion behind and with so many cars on the track then maybe something can happen in true touring car style.

something like what happend at knockhill eh? Just remember you were left with 3 wheel on your wagon after that one!

Damn i cant wait for sunday, ill be to nervous to notice the damn weather!

[Clio Man]

20 degrees, warm and dry just a few miles from Silverstone, its looking good for a decent weekend (fingers crossed) and Im really looking forward to this, hope all going have a good weekdend maybe see some of you there!!

[BeeJUK]

In orange? ;)


I will be in orange on both days :-)

Damm the 7:30 sign on though.

[BT Fan]

Look out for Eoin Murray he had a good run out at the British Rallyx round at Mondello Pk 2 weeks ago and one the stock hatch class quiet easily.

Hope you all have a good day. We'll just have to watch it on the tv over here.

Excellent! Yes, the early sign on's are something you kinda get used to :D

[doozeruk]

Back to Silverstone.........first time in alot of years.

Brooklands.....if you find a good spot, can you post it ;)
Desperate to try out me new camera on all those smashes, are those boys going to behave?

I don't mind who wins, just good close (very, very close :D ) racing is what I would like to see. You should be able to see me, I am going with a neighbour who's a bit of an idiot..........so I'll be wearing the t-shirt......i'm with the.....:D

Hope everyone has a good day/weekend we must be in for a treat.

[Clio Man]

Thick fog this morning , appears according to live timing to be causing about an hour and a half delay!! hope thats not the case tomorrow!! Brings back memories of the 3 hour safety car period during the Britcar 24 hour race!!!

[BeeJUK]

Fully enjoyed the meeting this weekend but was kept quite busy up at Beckeets/Maggots.
