It was cancelled last week apparently. I believe next week's test at Silverstone will still go ahead.

from my experiances there are little facilities open. But I can't attend next week but i was hoping to be there on thursday. There is no official confirmation it is off but I don't think we need it.

It is free, but spectating is usually limited the the area in front of the Luffield stand. Facilities are usually limited to burger van if you're lucky at this time of year, I usually opt to head into Buckingham during the lunch break - which means an opportunity to look round the F1 shop there as well

Maybe Arrows were doing Qual type work and Jag were doing a Race sim, seems possible. Remember the blitzing form of Prost in pre season testing last year??? Exactly they were nothing like it in the season.

I believe it's a good ploy to get some last minute sponsership money.
Funny how the Teams with less money always do well in testing isn't it |
