Jacko Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 What time are people planning on getting there, given the parade lap isn't until 2pm? Anyone staying over on the Saturday? I was guessing on either a very early convoy down? If I'm going down in the morning, then will get there as early as possible and relax when there. Might take a scenic route over the tops if anyone wants to come...... Or a possible night stop? Whats everyone up for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Is it still possible to get in on the action for this? I'm tempted, just need to convince the missus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Is it still possible to get in on the action for this? I'm tempted, just need to convince the missus You'd need to ask Steve....... suggest you PM him. I know he was trying to get hold of some more tickets etc for late shows...... Don't think you will get any track time, but will be able to get parked with us all and parade. But steve will confirm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 it's silverstone mate not donington? why do you want across the pennines when down the M6 then M1 will do? I know that mate, just that I used to do the Pennines route all the time when I used to work in Farnborough. Its easy where I am to go over the tops straight away and i friggin hate the M6, so even if it takes a while longer anytime avoiding our lovely countries crap motorways then I may well do it..... will decide nearer the time. Obviously not as attractive to you lot that live near the M6.... but swings and roundabouts for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 as early as possible Meaning? 8am?10am?11? I got to JapFest at 8.15am and the missus wasnt too happy! Its about the same distance to Silverstone for me so would like to leave later if poss. Are we expecting to get large queues/delays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Usually for these things cars have to be in place by 0830 so that the public can be let in. But not sure on this one...Steve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I need some brownie points here. Is there anywhere around the Silverstone area that would be nice for a visit with the missus on the Saturday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
