<<<TRACKDAY Silverstone GP - Tuesday 2nd November SOLD OUT>>>

Here’s my best attempt, a 2:44.9 followed by a 2:44.6. Still plenty of time to find.

Both lead onto long straights so I’m sure I left a b...

Interested to see that! My best was a 2:44. What tyres were you running? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2.44 sounds really good. So the car as John said is a streetport with RB cat, it was running Bridgestone Potenza sports. I was a bit worried they would disintegrate this morning as the rubber...

Think it’s the Wing/International Pits as it’s the full circuit, but we shall see.

Surprised it didn’t mention during the sign on and briefing.

2 1/2 blistering laps and then du du du misfire and rough running. Engine cut in the exit road and despite efforts of just about everyone the engine would not fire up.

It’s going to be an early start!

Who else is driving the M4 from London/Home Counties? Meet and convoy in like we have in the past?

Not a lot of run off at all on that circuit, surprised that’s the case with the safety of most places nowadays.
