Silverstone - March 19 - BRDC MC

Ian Sowman · 25 Feb 2005, 12:41 (Ref:1235586)

Well, this will be my first event of the season (first of many!). I hope it is going to be a relatively easy start, with just the website to worry about and two eager new helpers to assist me.

It should be a good meeting, with two helpings of FF1600, Minis, BRDC Historic Sportscars, BRDC Single Seaters and more.

Is anyone else planning to come along to enjoy the unique atmosphere of a Silverstone clubbie in March?

MikeHoyer · 25 Feb 2005, 13:18 (Ref:1235643)

I believe that I am.

aprescott · 25 Feb 2005, 13:48 (Ref:1235677)

I'll be there!

chezza · 26 Feb 2005, 15:13 (Ref:1236640)

I was going to be marshalling but can't be there unfortunately i have a commitment that evening which means i am unable to go! I have to wait for april for my first event.

Alfaholic · 26 Feb 2005, 19:28 (Ref:1236780)

I'll be there as long as work allows - I'm holiday cover that week.

Slightly off topic, does anybody know if Silverstone will be doing season tickets this year? There's no information about them on their website.

yes but only through joining the Silverstone racing club. God knows why they have done that

details can be sent if you ring Janet (Silverstone racing club secretary) on 08704588211.

chezza · 27 Feb 2005, 22:22 (Ref:1237615)

Its a good idea...if you join the racing club you can use the facilities that they have, including a stand and their club house.

neil_davidson2 · 1 Mar 2005, 12:44 (Ref:1238980)

I'll be there marshalling - Hopefully by then I will have thawed out from the Pomeroy Trophy last weekend.

Ian Sowman · 1 Mar 2005, 13:24 (Ref:1239014)

Excellent stuff.

Meanwhile, a call for drivers - entries are still open for all of the races. The details are on www.brdc.co.uk.

There are races for:

FF1600 (Golden Helmet and Star of the Midlands)
FF1800
BRDC Historic Sports Cars
BRDC Single Seaters
Minis
Allcomers Sports/Saloons
Sixties Sports/GT

stevew · 1 Mar 2005, 14:27 (Ref:1239070)

The Mini 7's & Mini Miglia's will be there. Not sure how many will go as
it is a non-championship race. Could be a good shake down test.

great

.....why would I want to use either ?

they have lost out on 3 season passes, their lost

chezza · 1 Mar 2005, 23:14 (Ref:1239527)

well its club access only...less queues at the bar!!! NOTE this is the silverstone racing club clubhouse...not the BRDC one!!

Sorry I think its a great idea, and although I get a pass through marshalling I will still be joining.

Gary Critcher · 6 Mar 2005, 17:44 (Ref:1244694)

I'llbe there in the no.89 historic formula ford. Anyone know how entries are for my race??

Ian Sowman · 6 Mar 2005, 17:53 (Ref:1244704)

Golden Helmet I presume? Very strong I believe. Are you doing SoM as well? (You probably also need to look in the Club Level Single Seaters forum!)

simon drabble · 7 Mar 2005, 07:29 (Ref:1245259)

I will be there in the race what ya brung race in my merlyn as a shake down before Julius' Cloth Cap race at Castle Combe Easter Monday. Sadly Barry Sideways didnt want 60's sportsracers in his 60's GT and Sportscar race.. which is a greta shame as HSCC and Julius do, but there you go

brands · 19 Mar 2005, 23:01 (Ref:1256357)

Excellent days racing, once the fog lifted

MikeHoyer · 19 Mar 2005, 23:30 (Ref:1256375)

Yep, was a lovely day once the fog had disappeared, was quite amusing watching the marshalls try and see each others flags in the soup, in the early morning...

Gary Critcher · 20 Mar 2005, 10:22 (Ref:1256717)

Yes, bluddy superb!! I somehow managed to qualify for the Golden Helmet finalrace, albeit second from last!! Great stuff--THREE sessions for only £35--there can't be anything wrong with that!! Thanks to everyone.

MikeHoyer · 21 Mar 2005, 00:36 (Ref:1257584)

Photos from this event are now on my site.

www.mdh-photography.co.uk, in case you didn't know.

Gary Critcher · 21 Mar 2005, 00:45 (Ref:1257588)

it may be me, Mike, but I can't see any pics from yesterday!! ???

MikeHoyer · 21 Mar 2005, 00:59 (Ref:1257591)

Sorry, I thought I was going to be the only person up at this time of the morning, giving me time to do the other pages...

It's there now.

Gary Critcher · 21 Mar 2005, 01:02 (Ref:1257593)

thanks Mike! - you can't catch me out, I'm on a nightshift!!

MikeHoyer · 21 Mar 2005, 01:04 (Ref:1257595)

Hehe, yeah, that's where I have just come home from...
