IIRC it was reported that 2 of the pit girls had to be treated for hypothermia.
I'm afraid that watching 60+ girls freezing is not my idea of entertainment.
I know the voyeurs out there would be disappointed, but they really should have had been given more cloths to wear.
In some areas motor sport really has to grow up, especially if it wants to attract larger attendances.

I'm pretty sure that was right Baz, in fact, just before they went out they were expected to be out without even the cr@ppy flimsy coats they ended up being given, it was shocking and the WEC and S/Stone got a bit of a rollocking over it all on RLM IIRC (and totally justifiably so in my opinion). god it was miserable that weekend - great racing though.

Nice warm long socks is what those girls needed. |

I e mailed Silverstone this weekend to enquire about camping for the weekend, no reply as yet! But, via fiawec.com the following; Woodlands Campsite - will be open for this event. You can add camping tickets when purchasing your weekend tickets! |

5 girls were removed from the grid last year, i gave 2 of my layers to 2 girls, and many other marshals gave up their coats to keep the girls warm. If I'm expected to stand out in the cold, I'll do it warmly, if we are to have grid girls, am sure there are much warmer clothes to dress them in. It was disgusting, no duty of care from the organisers. RLM quite rightly laid into them for it. I'll be there from Thursday evening, though, am not sure yet if I'll be working or spectating Sunday |

We are planning on bringing Max to his first race meeting, along with Zak of course - his 3rd WEC aged 3 and a bit.
