I'm off to the F1 test day at Silverstone on the 22nd August. This is open to the public - you need to register on the ITV F1 website (www.f1fanclub.com) as a basic member (no fee), then ring them up and book. As I now work for Jordan (or will be a few days after that day http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif) I should be able to introduce people to the drivers (assuming Jordan are there - they're supposed to be but I can't guarantee it!!) too.

Yex is intending to come, and Mark Champion too, I think?

Anyone else?

I'm booked in for the day http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif as they have a vacancy at Jordan perhaps we could apply on the day http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Ronnie,

Will travel up with you in a small convoy if we can agree a meeting point, or are you considering bringing something a bit nearer an F1 car than a Scoob http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif now that would be fun http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Heard that Jordan might not be there as they may be testing in Italy.
Yes and I've no idea why I'm up at this time either.

Hi every 1,
I have never been to a test day, Excuse my ignorance but what happens? Yes i know cars drive around the track!!! but which teams how many laps etc. Keith.

MichelleWRX1994 26 July 2001 11:21 AM

My local gym is doing a competition ot win tickets for that.

MarkCSC 26 July 2001 11:32 AM

Big Snapper

Teams are allocated certain days at certain cicuits throughout the year to test stuff on. They might be doing tyre testing, new engines/gearboxes, race simulations etc. The amount of laps they do depends on what they are testing. sometimes they go out for one lap then come back in again othertimes they are out for ages.
The best bit is the pit lane walkabout. You get to see the cars close up and chat to the mechanics if you're lucky.

I gather you can also grab lunch at the cafe thing there, where most of the drivers grab their food...

Richard

Big_Snapper 26 July 2001 01:45 PM

Thanks Mark,
Have just phoned, We will be there!
Keith.

Yex 26 July 2001 02:49 PM

Attendance is rising http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Looks like a Scooby parking area is required, or shall we all arrive at the same time http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/cool.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

The drivers don't eat in the cafe. They have huge great coaches and tent things where they stuff their faces on what looked like rather nice food (you have all this to look forward to) http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
You normaly get a few marshals in there and the odd tyre bloke nobody really interesting unfortunatley.

Mark

Bitten Hero 27 July 2001 08:55 AM

D'oh! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif I was misled by the ITV F1 Fanclub blurb...

Oh well, such is life. Hopefully Williams will be there as I have a friend who works for them (but doesn't know I'm working for Jordan yet http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif)

Still be good fun http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Phil 01 August 2001 06:26 PM

Is there a list of who is going?

Bitten Hero 01 August 2001 06:46 PM

Can't find one anywhere http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif Just have to hope. Jordan are in Italy (Mugello) so they won't be there unfortunately...

Richard

bob gray 01 August 2001 10:40 PM

im going , anyone else going from swindon area?

Fat Boy Slim 02 August 2001 04:26 PM

I will be their as well but not with Jordan, but with Ferrari hospitality. Life's hard when they design their car in your companies software...... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

But if anyone is going up from the Fleet, Bracknell, Camberley etc area then let me know as it would be good to convoy up.......
