Nice work Horndawg.
Just had an E-mail from Silverstone circuit regarding access on the Friday and they say "Although the Friday is not a public day, a small number of spectators will be admitted free of charge." So for all who were wondering it looks like you can go and spectate on the Friday for free. |

Looks like they have finally got round to a bit of PR:

Why is Gigawave listed as French on the LMS site? Typo?

Can't wait for this one. This will be my first LMS meeting that I marshal at, after being a speccy for 5 years now (we get free entry all weekend plus the best seats in the house! I can thoroughly recommend joining the ranks of marshals). |

No, must be particular this event. Usually grandstands and paddock are open at Le Mans Series events on a Friday.

was in birmingham the other weekend & the whole place was plastered with posters + the car at Euston looks awesome.
Apparently, tomorrow (thursday) there will be an "experience zone" at Euston - any idea what this might be? Also, some of the blurbs claim the car at Euston is "one that will race at silverstone", can anybody confirm that? - I would have thought it was just a show car. either way, since I work just by the station - many fag breaks tomorrow methinks. |

The entry list shows JWA with a Porsche on the grid, what's up with their great looking Aston Martin Vantage?

Finally, some life from Airbus's favorite team. Guess the Porsche is an overall better choice to run, despite being less interesting.

Hexis is the closest, but appear to be switching to DBR9 next year.

Looks like LAA is having a really bad run of luck since the 24 hours and one of their cars got punted by the Aston. Apparently their transporter just burned up on the highway with their car and all their spare parts. Here's the article on CorvetteMotorsports: http://www.corvette-motorsport.com/n...ures-again-116

To be honest, the tickets were given to Peugeot employees & their families-most looked like they'd never been to a race circuit before and probably wouldn't have lasted the full 6 hours anyway! |

The first sportscar race I ever went to (and about the second race meeting I'd ever been to) was a Silverstone Group C race in about 1985 and I basically went because I'd won a couple of tickets in a competition in the local paper, (OK, I was already interested in cars and motorsport, but I was really more of a rally fan as a teenager). I've been hooked on sportscar racing ever since |

Drayson and JWA ran the Vantage, which is a problematic car. Bell tried to run the DBR9 without support from Prodrive, which is a bad idea.
