I don't think that many of the others will be sadly, as they are heading down to Brands for some silly old chaps racing silly old cars...! |

Which means that the most important "silly old cars" racing on the Sunday will be the BRDC boys at Silverstone. I'll leave the Saturday night race for Bluebottle. Knowing how much he loves Panoz engines, I'll be bringing him a new hearing aid on Sunday. Besides, I owe you a beer and a hamburger. |

Yes, I'll be going on Saturday- see you all there!
(Thinks- how will they know it's me? simple- say "Hello 'Bottle" to everyone you meet until one of them is me!) O.k, I'm the one with loud trousers, long hair, a Dutton Owners Club hat and a video camera. |

That was the best days racing i have ever been to (saturday-silvestone), the american le man seris race was amazing, the whole show that Don Panoz put on was just like the advertisments for alms say "for the fans". Maybe Bernie Ecelstone should have gone to the race on saturday night and seen how fans should be treated. The drivers autogragh session was a very good idea, all of the drivers where pleased to be meating the fans and actually talked to you, (unlike the f1 drivers). The atmosphere created by the "le man" style pre-race build up was excellant.
I enjoyed the race so much that i went back today for the FIA GT race, it was good but it needs those GT1 cars to raise the excitment level. carnt wait till LE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

The sunshine was glorious
We got there in time for the 0730 pitwalk, the Panoz crew had their engine cover off and were warming the engine - marvellous The ELMS race was a cracker, Audi and Panoz fighting all the way through, with BMW sneaking through almost unnoticed for the win - one each of the Audis and Panozes conked out on the last lap, the Audi managed to limp into the pits across the finish line. The FIA GT race was a little dull in comparision. The BRDC Historic Sportscars was as good as ever, plenty of sliding round the corners, definitely going to the Coys festival now |

An exellent day's racing- great value for money as well!- I walked around the whole circuit during the day taking video footage from several different vantage points.(I edited my 1999 Le Mans footage to about 20 mins, so I should be able to chop this to about 3!)
I watched the start of the ELMS race from the Stowe grandstand, then moved to Hanger straightfor as long as my ears could stand. I watched the closing laps from The Complex (They had stopped looking at tickets for the stands by that stage) An exellent vantage point but not a fast part of the circuit. I got home at around 11:00 feeling completely Panozed.-Can't wait for Le Mans 2001!! |
