Yes - they've closed South bank for the last couple of years for this event, maybe that's one of the reasons the rest of the spectator areas look so crowded. Still 24,000 on Sunday last year I believe - that is a lot of people.

Peter - if its any consolation sign on is about 1130 for G1

**Stephen Green** · 8 May 2002, 09:29 (Ref:280056)

I look forward to seeing many of you there for both days. Fingers crossed the sun shines again this year!

How come you're not at Pembrey with your new toy ?

sunbeam73 · 8 May 2002, 20:23 (Ref:280549)

the new toy isn't so much a toy at the moment - more of a pain in the ass that i could have done without, give me a sunbeam anyday.

wont be ready for a couple of months yet.

Looks like we peaked a little early - nevertheless let's get it back to the top..........

josvandeperre · 13 May 2002, 13:47 (Ref:285067)

Again

Yeah, I know, but it means late finish on Sunday and up at 5.45am on Monday.

Anybody seen the weather forecast?

**Stephen Green** · 14 May 2002, 11:22 (Ref:286115)

Sunny and 26 degs C so bring the sun cream. I spoke to Brands yesterday and South Bank is open despite the air displays but room is limited as there is a static display of classic cars on South Bank. It's a first come, first served basis I'm afraid.

Tony Harman · 14 May 2002, 11:27 (Ref:286126)

I've noticed that there is no paddock map this year so we could end up with the formulae spread all over the place which doesn't make for such a nice display for any spectators wandering through. I expect people with the big trucks and motorhomes and anyone testing will snatch up all the best spots first, particularly by the fencing to the circuit.

**Peter Mallett** · 14 May 2002, 11:29 (Ref:286128)

Phew. It's times like this that I start to envy single seater racers.

er... why Pete ? haven't you got a/c in your car then

Forecast I saw last night said nice at the end of the week but then cloudy again for the weekend....

Tony Harman · 14 May 2002, 11:38 (Ref:286138)

Hey Stephen - what do I need to do if I do get the time to Marshal on Sunday ? (won't know until the end of Sat though).

**Stephen Green** · 14 May 2002, 12:00 (Ref:286159)

Just have a word with Trevor Jackson at sign on I reckon. The Euro Boss guys will have the garages no doubt?

Teletubby · 14 May 2002, 15:37 (Ref:286382)

I'll be there! Unfortunately, due to not being able to keep my mouth shut I'll be in Race Control all day as Chief Incident Officer. Never done it before so I'm more than a bit worried! Bet I get to see less racing than sitting in a Rescue Unit! :0(

**Stephen Green** · 14 May 2002, 17:11 (Ref:286469)

*sniggers*

Gonfra · 14 May 2002, 17:21 (Ref:286475)

TT has been practising his DJ's voice in readiness for his big day....
Yo, Big Up and Boyakasha, Nuff Respect....

Yep - not surprising really, I think the FF2000 guys will get what's left.
We were told we would share garages at some events with the FF2000's but it hasn't happened.

Well I shall try very very hard not to come over and say hello then !

(Anyway race control is a hell of a long walk from the paddock

)

Teletubby · 14 May 2002, 19:53 (Ref:286608)

Since I stitched myself up all I've had from the rest of the BARC Rescue Crews is grief! I hope nobody falls off or breaks down all bloody weekend, I won't have to say anything then!
Please come and visit! :0)

**Stephen Green** · 14 May 2002, 20:00 (Ref:286613)

Once Iknow which post I'm on I'll try and get over to say hello. Will you be at the Observers briefing each morning?

Teletubby · 15 May 2002, 09:09 (Ref:287026)

Errrr, I dunno, is that normal procedure? I'm supposed to be issuing radios sometime!
I'm appalled to discover that I have to sign on at 7:30!, us Rescue types normally turn up about 2 minutes before the start!

**Stephen Green** · 15 May 2002, 09:25 (Ref:287034)

Is that after you have laid the sleeping bags out in the back of the unit?

As for the briefing, it depends on whether it's a Observers and IO's or just Observers briefing. For BRSCC and other clubs it's normally both together.

So will I see you in the Kentagon>

**Peter Mallett** · 15 May 2002, 10:51 (Ref:287103)

Well I thought I'd make a weekend of it so I'm there from Friday until Sunday evening. Should be enough time to meet a few peeps and even (dare I say it) have a beer or two, leaving plenty of time to sober up before Sunday qualifying.

Now watch it rain all weekend!!!!!

**Stephen Green** · 15 May 2002, 11:04 (Ref:287111)

Arghhhhh, don't say that Peter!

Why not? It's possibly my only chance to win.
