Default Renault World Series - Silverstone

Anyone go? Was there today, those 3.5 litre Megane track cars are sweet. They look and sound amazing.

Managed to get sun burnt somehow - was cloudy most of the day and even rained a little bit at one point.

All in all a good day - especially when you consider the tickets are free. Makes it worth the 280 mile round trip!

Yep, I had an enjoyable day. Think the switch to Silverstone as a venue worked well - better facilities and seating/viewing I thought.

Good amount of stuff to see and some pretty exciting racing - not bad for free at all

It was good at Donington before it got too popular.

Last year there were just too many visitors for the facilities to cope so I'm not surprised they moved it.

I didn't go this year as I was busy tiling the kitchen floor!

Yeh, I went on both days, very enjoyable. Donnington is a better track for viewing, but Silverstone certainly doesn't disappoint, loads of grandstand space and the facilities were pretty much spot on.

Weather was baking yesterday, so many sun burnt people - not me through

Saw a couple of Skodas too, '56 plate yellow fab vrs at Copse corner car park, and red MkI Octy vrs on the campsite. Anyone off here?

Well done Renault - never thought I'd say that...

Got roasted and very burnt (see pics).

Didnt see a single Scooby, ST or Skoda there or back.

On a side note, and not seeing anyone else mention it, thoughts to the family whose Trip to Silverstone ended in tragedy
