Club Arnage

Who and when will you be arriving at Silverstone for the 1000ks

Me i'll be there on Friday for wander round in the afternoon then to the The Whale Hotel in Buckingham for a beer or three.

Will arrive eraly on Saturday, leaving again on Sunday afternoon after the GT race.

Saturday only for the WANCs.Club Arnage Tshirts at the ready.
Is there a Silverstone equivalent of the Shampoo Bar?

PM

I spent many an hour in the poo bar at the Coys Festival, then called the Scafe & Goggles.

I would think that there would be somthing like that but, were i dont know. There is usualy a bar behind Woodcote and plenty of space and one on the inside of Copse.

I will enquire. Soon as known will post.

 ;D
There will be a small contingent from Team Zarse in attendance, and provided we can make her roadworthy in time, the commer will be too. More than likely arriving Sat. am until Sunday pm.

Definitely up for a Poo Bar style gathering on Saturday - just one bottle won't hurt...

Sorry to be little thick but I was intending to go Sat and Sunday but now find myself double booked for Saturday.  

Which day are the LMES car racing?

The silverstone web site is not helpful as it states Fri to Sunday as race day, I don't mind missing practice but I would like to see the race.

race is saturday
pm

bu**er

This happend to me last time the ALMS came to Silverstone!

Now I will have to convince the party holder to have thier Birthday on Sunday!

Thanks anyway for the prompt answer saves me wasting my money

I'll be there for the LMES race on Saturday 8), working on a pass to stay 'til Sunday, but might not be worth the amount of brownie points it would need  :'(

I'll be there guys, arriving early Saturday to pitch the tent and leaving after the GT race on Sunday.

Who else will be on the campsite then?

Steve

I'll be  there on Friday depending on the schedule [do we know yet?]and staying 'till Sunday.

Dickie

Should be there, but only on the Saturday for before the race and during, but not for long after - my lad's 18th birthday that day, and whilst he will enjoy the racing, he won't enjoy being late for heading out to his evening social life.  Sunday, we're racing off-road again.

Mark

Going Saturday morning until Sunday after, rest of the gang bottled out.If you see somone wandering about looking like Billy Nomates come over and say hello cos that will be me. Maybe I will see you in the Royal Oak in Silverstone village on Saturday night. I read in the Silverstone year book that they will be using the International circuit instead of the GP circuit. Whats that all about are they expecting a go-cart race or what.

Just booken my weekend ticket and camping pass - not bad at £23!
Silverstone say there will be food and drink facilities on the campsite which is inner circuit. Also they've booked a band for the sat night on the campsite.

Sounds like a plan to me!!!!!!!!

Champagne and warm lager then.

Steve

£23!!!!!!!!   :o

Are you reading this Mr Ecclestone!!!!!!!  >:(

Shame I'll be in Crete  :(

Still, three trips to Le Mans in three months isn't bad I suppose!  ;)

I'll be going, pitching tent Friday evening, hopefully the ground won't be as hard as the ground we pitched on at Le Mans  :'(

I do believe myself and my beautiful assistant victoria shall be visiting this race of motorised vehicles. With champagne and The Marker Pen.

It's also Vik's birthday, so I reckon she might appreciate all forms of alcoholic donation. If yer passing like.

 ;D ;D

I'll be there but sadly one man down to share the fuel costs. Silly bugger went and booked a flight out to watch the Lurgan Park Rally in Ireland on the same day.

But there should be two of us, hopefully giving my new motor (A4 TDI Quattro) its first long distance run out , subject to me buying it tomorrow all being well.

Coming saturday and hoping to camp over at the track and do sunday as well.

Just booked tickets - how can you go wrong at £23 per person including camping ! ;D

Just received mine through the post  ;D Will be camping from Friday night, probably on my lonesome but maybe with younger bro...

£23!!!!!!!!   :o

Are you reading this Mr Ecclestone!!!!!!!  >:(

Shame I'll be in Crete  :(

Still, three trips to Le Mans in three months isn't bad I suppose!  ;)

is crete ready??

Crete is............but I'm not sure about Athens!!  ;)

mmm

long jump in a pile of builder's sand
pole vault over the scaffolding

shot putting a hod of bricks

javelin using scaffold tubes

still you could have dumper truck racing across the dust bowl, formation jcb driving instead of sychronised swimming

builder's sweaty bum award

drugs testing for high levels of tannin/flavournoids from teas being swilled

who can lean on the shovel the longest before passing out in the heat  

who can get a 100 mph out of a transit overloaded crap award

Good job too - your previous scrawlings have washed off and need redoing. ;)

Bump

Will be coming over for the Saturday only unless there is a deluge of large proportions on the day. Silverstone is a godawful place in that kind of weather, and the last time I attended a few years ago (I think it was an Empire Trophy event) the race was almost cancelled as the cars were aquaplaning everywhere.

Hopefully Wishywashyman and Little Wishy too making an appearance.

For those of us attending only on the day of the 6 hr race maybe a time and place to meet up for a beer should be arranged - say a couple of hours before the proceedings start?

Got some Audi Hospitality  ::) ... so hoping for a good seat for the start... and a better one in their bar  ;D ... Don't live far away and other half is designated very pregnant driver...  Hopefully get some good pics to post... that aren't of the bar floor....  :P

Russ, how did you pull off the Audi hospitality ! I have driven an Audi for the last 5 years and have just spent £5600 on another one, does this help ? I guess not but worth a try.

Hi Chris,

...who you know...not what you know...  ::)

Part of the perks of working for the VW-Audi group is that they always offer a certain number of tickets to staff for all the VW/Audi/Seat racing events, normally for free, but sometimes (as with this one) for a nominal fee...£5!

...so far not been able to wangle any real Le Mans privelidges... but the Silverstone/Donnington tickets I've had have been very welcome.

Oh, and seeing as I don't actually work there...they come from somebody I know who does, so I get their extra ticket!

So the moral hear is... befriend an employee!!!! Or even better...marry one like I did!! ...just don't try and marry mine!!!  ;)

4 year relationship: £12,000
Wedding: £14,000
Wife getting a job at Audi....priceless!!!    ;D ;D ;D ;D

i was gonna go, and got up early this morning full of excitement raring to go and my mate who was driving seems to have pulled out.

so now i think i'm gonna miss out.  :(
