Erm, where's the main entrance to Silverstone then?

I've only ever parked in the car-parks near Luffield. (Got the Audi TT in a glass box - Best place for one ).

Is there a straightforward route off the M40 to the main entrance?

 

the entrance youve just described is the one you want...and i think its an S4 in there now....

 

Oh right! Cheers! So how do you get into the paddock area from there, then?

 

by following the signs that say "paddock" on them. Basically over the first bridge, then bear left at the roundabout and go over the 2nd bridge, and follow the road round and they are right there...

 

I asked for that one...

Ta. My recollection of that area is a little hazy. I now remember the ruddy great bridge directly through the gate.

Many thanks!

 

no problemo, see you there

 

Unless its changed since last Friday, its still the old Audi rally car.

 

they change it too often :P

 

Yeap, should be

 

 

there there shaun

only 3 days to go!!!!!

 

I will have a new toy being delivered tomorrow to allow me to graphically model me around the track via GPS, showing lines taken (overlaid on an outline of the circuit), speed and instant lap / split timings etc.

Should be fun...... it will probably take me all of Sunday to work out how to use it!

My nerves had all but gone this time....... that was until I looked at the weather forecast, which says it's going to hoof it down.

 

it won't rain

 

even GPS aint gonna make you look pretty






rain is a possible.....not a definite...

 

I'm busy studying the Powerstation footage of the last Silverstone round and emulating it on TOCA3.

I was wondering if I'd need to touch the brakes at all on my ikkle car apart from at the complex in front of the BRDC stand!

 

if you go by Toca3, you can do the whole lap never braking and just lifting off for the corners

 

nice and realistic then

 

bloody crap i thought i'd have a go the other night, can only seem to use a clio cup car on that track and managed a 55sec lap

 

Rain, rain, rain.....

 

Dont forget to look where you are going!

 

haha riiiiiiight then touring cars in qualifying apparently lap it in 60 secs. Thats one hell of a clio

 

Bring Tweekie to do a raindance....

bee-de-bee-de-bee-de....

 

LOL

If it rains Shaun, you can always try to beat SDB's record going sideways....!

 

with or without the GPS?

 

Shaun, when are you going to the Nurburgring? I would be happy to give you a passenger ride, for your first lap ever.....

 

Buckley,

I did the Nurburgring when you were probably still sucking your thumb back in '99!

I will certainly go back, but it won't be until next year now as I have quite a big project to start and finish on the car over autumn/winter. (and no, that dont include driving lessons )

Regards,
Shaun.

 

I thought you said you had never driven on track before the last Silverstone round.....

 

WARNING - MOTORSPORT IS DANGEROUS!!!


Just take it easy on Sunday fella's, as it's not worth ending up like I did last October in the rain at Castle Combe....

 

I didnt say I was DRIVING at the ring Terry.

Anyway.... when you going to get this new engine in?

 

Terry,

It's alright...... even I'm not THAT bad at driving!
