Hi



Is anyone going to TRAX from the Kent/London/Essex area?

Maybe a few of us could meet up before hand... ?

Going from West London - happy to join a convoy - this time I'll keep up as well (lost some guys after Abingdon, as I was sub 1000 miles).

I'm going from the Chelmsford way. Anyone fancy meeting at the M25/A12 (junction 28)and go from there. What time do we need to get to Silverstone for anyway?

Graham,
Dunno, depends what time we have to meet on the M1 (if thats what we're all doing). If its really early I might go straight across London, but if not I'll join the M25 at the M3 junction so we could meet up somewhere round there.
Cheers

Having done 2 trips to Silverstone from London (SW) recently I thoroughly recommend the following route:

M40, exit at J7
A329 to Thame
B4011
B4100
A43 to Silverstone (this bit is a little too straight and wide , so may be there's another, better road)

I also tried A413 from S/stone to Buckingham - very nice too.

The only challenge will be to stay in convoy all the way through

9am Brentwood sounds optomistic. Will be queues to get in probably, and those doing sessions don't know what time they are yet!

Last year we arrived about 10.30am there were queues but we were 1 of only 8 Imprezas there, the special invite ticket meant we drove straight in and jumped the queues!!
This year I have just got tickets to the in-field for the sprint test (I thought there might be more parking in there!).
Happy to go with the flow!!

Austin.
We have an official SIDC arena this year, along with three exclusive track sessions.
I presume you're not in the club?
If you are, I can maybe get you in with us.

Agree, we should leave earlier, say 7:30 - 8:00am... before the M25 turns into a nightmare

Might have a little chef fryup before we leave, so ill probably get there earlier

Shall we say leave at 7.30 then?

That was we should arrive at about 9ish and get a full day as well.

STEF - Do you know what time the sessions are yet? Do you have a choice as to which sessions you can go in - e.g... 1&2, 1&3 or 2&3?

Not long now...!

Is there going to be a second meeting point? Say on the M1 or M40 (depending on the route). Or can someone suggest a place for the M3/M25 area. Calling Graham?
Cheers

You will be informed which you are in when you get your tickets.

STEF - Thanks for the reply... ...!

Can anyone suggest a route? or is it going to be M25 > M1 >

Does anyone want to meet en-route at services, etc......? Or an area which is closer to Silverstone itself...?


Can't wait.... ......!!!!
