[imi]

Great stuff guys...I cant make Tuesday (two important meetings)..so im out..Ill either be there Monday or Wednesday... :(

[Matt 6]

I am going to this on the Thursday but won't be going in the Supra. Just planning on spending the afternoon there as I am off to Red Bull Racing in the morning to look round and see what its all about. :)

[SteveR]

The testing is Tue -> Thur dude, don't go on Monday, you'll be the only one there :D

[whitesupratt]

Um...Tuesay is almost here guys...can someone confirm the plan of action, e.g. do we need money, and as I seem to be the only coming from this way, where shall I meet you guys?

[ste35uk]

hi guys im going to have to make it wednesday sorry carnt get tuesday of anyone else going then:search: :search:

[RobSheffield]

i will be there Tuesday, but not in my car, be nice to meet some of you guys down there though :D

[SteveR]

Um...Tuesay is almost here guys...can someone confirm the plan of action, e.g. do we need money, and as I seem to be the only coming from this way, where shall I meet you guys?
It costs nothing, just turn up basically. You can't get to every part of the track, access last time I went was limited to the complex towards the end of the lap (i.e. everything after bridge), and the start/finish straight. You'll need money for food/drink/cr*ppy souvenirs if you want any.

I don't know if there is a plan as to how we'll all meet up?

[whitesupratt]

Maybe we should make a plan? or what time can you turn up? Been to silverstone many times, but not to this, do you go in the normal way?

[RobSheffield]

ill be there about 12 ish, in a white MR2

[Class One]

It's free just follow the signs in from the A43 you'll be directed by staff to enter the circuit by Bridge.

[whitesupratt]

Sweet, is there somewhere maybe to meet, as I know im not going to know anyone off here by sight once im there.

[Wez]

Forgot about this, will find out tomorrow if i have the day off :)

[dee_rz]

Shall we say 10:30am



I think this is the plan of action in terms of where we are meeting fella :cool:

[terribleturner]

Seems only Dee reads my posts :p

Well we'll leave the services at about 11am and get there about 15/20minutes later. Would anyone like us to wait for them near the garages on the right at the front gate of Silversstone?? If anyone is coming later i can pm my mobile number.

Just to warn people the weather isn't looking great :( and i know that as i'll be on my bike there's 95% chance of rain :cry:

[Wez]

Looks like I have the day off :)

[nfsjoe]

I have the day off and will be along also. :)

[SteveR]

It better not rain :(
If it does I'm going to go Thursday instead. Stupid weather :(

[dee_rz]

i would like to meet you guys at the garages at the right before the gates i'm pm-ing you now t tuner for your mob number thanks, main reason i won't meet you at services is 1, it easier for me to go straight to silverstone track as we go through on way, 2 i don't have supra and won't be able to keep up besides girlfriends coming and she'd be scared lol :d

[Wez]

Well we'll leave the services at about 11am and get there about 15/20minutes later.

Which services is this then?
