£8:00 +vat?!?!?

I think they may be trying to give the complete F1 experience, even down to being ripped off by the food vendors!

We will have to stick with plan "A" (Thurrock meet @ 3:30pm). Too much to do in the morning, which will now include buying plenty of nibbles that will be kept in the car. (Buffet in the car park anyone?)

The Air Balloon normally does BOGOF, so worth checking.

Moley's top tip.... if after the event you are popping into Horley for a drink, DON'T go to the 429 bar (bout 500 yards away from PureTech)

Ah, but if you don't go out & buy the nibbles you will have more time to do your other jobs & then you can join us - you know you want to! 12 so far.....

But it only takes one of us to get the nibbles, and that will be on my way home from Elites after getting new boots for the puma.

Eat it outside .... TBH, if people want to eat, and they want to charge extortionate rates like above, I can't see there being an issue as long as it doesn't get eaten in their cafe.

+ Pizza Hut is going to be a lot tastier than any pannini

Just seen there's a fair amount of traffic clockwise on the M25 between J28 and J30 at the mo. Nothing on the other side of the water yet though.

I will hit that about 1pm so if you just could sort it before then, than that would be great.

well done mate, consistently quick as ever. (And you know how it pains me to say that!).

I was also surprised at the track change for the final, same for all of you but still a bit odd, I mean you don't usually qualify on one track, then race another.

Big thanks to Si & Hils for their organisation.

Well done to Robbie for the FTD.

The least said about that track change the better IMO.




I demand a rematch. Budgie, I want that crown!
