BritCar Silverstone FG Meetup [Official UK Meet!]

WirelessMonkey · August 25th, 2007, 11:52 PM

Anyone fancy organising it? Could be abit of fun. Thought id make a seperate thread so people who are going can say if they are interested and maybe we can organise summit. Maybe get a banner on TV that says finalgear.com on it or something images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Would be great to go, but Silverstone is a bit far away for a day trip for me. Brands Hatch is close enough, but that doesn't hold anything decent, except for the BTCC, which has already been there this year.

^You do realise that there's a reason for picking Silverstone and the Britcar 24 hours don't you?

Like I said in the other thread, it's looking increasingly more likely that I'll be there, and it would be cool to meet some people!

Martyn · August 30th, 2007, 2:36 PM

If anyone is thinking of going, PM me, I may have a very attractive offer. Need to be quick though.

Raheel · August 31st, 2007, 12:09 AM

I could turn up.... Since I dont have a car, will need to find a way to get to silverstone

essentialatom · August 31st, 2007, 2:26 AM

I'm going down with a couple of mates. However, I've never been to an endurance race before, so any advice on what it'll be like, sleeping arrangements, whether we should stick around for the entire race or get some sleep in the middle (I'm guessing the former images/smilies/tongue.gif

)... if you've got any tips on getting the most out of the weekend, I'd really appreciate it. images/smilies/smile.gif

otispunkmeyer · August 31st, 2007, 4:22 PM

Martyn · September 3rd, 2007, 1:21 PM

http://www.eerc.co.uk/cms/e107_files...TABLE_2007.pdf Here's the timetable, might help in picking a time to meet up.

During the lunch break maybe?

Martyn · September 5th, 2007, 6:42 PM

Anyone else going?

More importantly, any more thoughts on meetup time/place? Saturday or Sunday?

I'm going down there on Friday evening, and that's rapidly approaching, so I guess we need to sort something fairly sharpish!

Yes, but still. Living in Kent gives easy access to wonderful places like Europe. And London. And not much else.

essentialatom · September 5th, 2007, 11:45 PM

Alright, so, anyone going except me and Martyn?

slick007nick · September 6th, 2007, 5:09 PM
