Silverstone Festival Tickets. 25-26-27 August

[Oneball]

I have tickets available for this weekend’s Silverstone Festival; 3xFri, 2xSat, 3xSun.

To use them you will need to download the Silverstone app onto your phone.

They were hideously expensive (I’m racing)

so an appropriate charitable donation to Urby will be required.

And downloading them is a bit of a mare - I'm at the event with the Sporting Bears on Sunday - taking the S2000 as didn't want to risk the Spyder still being wishboneless. Happy racing @Oneball

How's it going so far Tim ?

 

[Oneball]

Finished 18th out of 25. But last. But gutted as the Lola I’d got past on the second lap overtook me with 3 laps to go because I was dawdling a little.

Good experience to do though. Once in lifetime sort of thing just a shame it’s at Silverstone!! Range of cars here is amazing from Can-Am in my race to watching Ferrari 512s whilst having a beer at 6pm.

A finish is what it's all about far better than a early bath Tim.

The guys who drove these things at Le Mans, Sebring etc must have been hard as nails. They’ve got way more grip than the 60s stuff I’m used to but nothing to help you like power steering, flappy paddles etc. I was just about done for after 40 mins. My hands and arm probably don’t help but they’re properly tough over a distance.

Yep. And start.

This was Thursday night’s fun. Gearbox out due to badly installed clutch space. Tyrone and Sam under this side, I’m under the other side. Car doesn’t belong to any of us but we got him out for qualifying and the race.
