Silverstone F1 Testing?
Hi,
Heard a rumour that you can get into Silverstone testingsessions for free. Is this so? If so when are the testing days and what F1 teams will be there? Thanks for any info. |

It is indeed free. You can watch from anywhere from the complex to Copse.
Who is there? Testing dates are planned and get to be known. I think Jordan are there around now (?). I think they do get put on the Silverstone website. Unfortunately there isn't any up at the moment. http://www.silverstone-circuit.co.uk/ There were rumours of a test 4-5 Feb and 25th Feb. Have these been confirmed?

Thanks for that guys!!!
Damn those dates are during the week and I have a fulltime 8.30-5.30 job Time to book a few days off I think I just want to make sure that there will be F1 there though thats all. I'll keep an eye on the silverstone website. |

I booked the 4th off work to go up to Silverstone.
Only Jordan are running there on the 4th and 5th. I was hoping there would be a few more teams there, but the glutton for punishment I am I'll probably head up there anyway. Jordan sneakily gave the EJ-14 it's first shake-down on Monday on the quiet. On Wednesday (tomorrow) they'll be running the EJ-14 for it's first proper test along with an EJ-13. There's a 50% chance of rain. Am I mad or what?? |

Any news of the test on 23rd-25th Feb at Silverstone? Who is expected to be there? Is one day likely to see more action than the others?

Jordan is going to be there, but I don't think anyone else is going to be though :/
