Silverstone 13/10

Im going to Silverstone next monday on the GP circuit

Did the Trax attendees get to complete many laps - what will be a good lap time ? Any tips other than avoiding drift cars ?

It was a bit damp, so times were pretty irrelevant. Just enjoy yourself and stuff it into the kitty litter. That gravel gets behind everything under the car.

Exactly my thoughts - just enjoy yourself as there will always be somebody faster.

1:18.739 was Shueys record in 96...

road cars are about 2:15 (Type-R Elise) upwards

got sub 2 mins in a F360 F1 with Chris Hodgetts instructing me.... which was pretty intense.

Re: Silverstone 13/10

Great day out ! I managed about 40 laps and was nackered by the end.

Looks a bit damp but it was fine on track


Mmmm orange


GT3RS's are quite quick.


Lotus were there doing some testing in a gt4 spec 211 but for fun they had brought this sc elise along and were letting people have a drive

Re: Silverstone 13/10

Do you have to pay for entry if your not going on the circuit out of interest? just spectating?

Re: Silverstone 13/10

I never really realised just how much better open pit lane is compared to the session type track day. Must save more money to do another.
