LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 Anyone else fancy going to this? I know Gaz is going from here & im going too. I spoke to chris & fred earlier at ProAlfa & they said it should be really good as there are around 30 cars entered for the weekend which should mean some good racing i can only do the 1 day but it was a good day out last time i went & im a bit gutted i couldn't make it to anymore race weekends if im honest Anyway, here's a linky to it & if anyone wants to go, its not that much for a ticket either & there are also other types of racing going on during the day too (you get to walk round & see them all working on their cars which is quite good aswell) http://www.brscc.co.uk/Championships/BRSCC-ALFASHOP-ALFA-ROMEO-CHAMPIONSHIP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted October 11, 2013 Anyone else up for this? sounds like its going to be a really good day, there's 2 Alfa races on sunday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9d 108 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 I've been given the all clear to go, for me it depends on the weather, it will be on Sunday if I do go. Just looking at the Silverstone website and it looks like entry is free http://www.silverstone.co.uk/events/BRSCC-Caterham-Finals/ I deliver to a guy who runs MX5s and I'm sure that it the same championship that's running there.

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 think everyone (most people anyway) are going on sunday it is free to get in too so even if its raining i'll be going. plenty of places to go if it is raining and with that many cars all fighting for the last few championship points it could get quite interesting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K9d 108 Report post Posted October 14, 2013 Is there a meeting point? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted October 14, 2013 Not sure what time, i'll try & find out when the 1st alfa race is & try & get there a bit before then, can have a look round & get somewhere decent to watch it from then aswell. I've only been to silverstone a couple of times before so dont really know anywhere round there to meet. Could either meet in a pub carpark or petrol station nearby & go in at the same time or meet up at silverstone? Think i got most peoples phone numbers to get hold of people?

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 Just an update on this, i spoke to Chris and Fred at ProAlfa earlier today and they said if we want to we can get parked up in the paddock area as guests of ProAlfa As it is a free event and there are so many cars going to be in the paddock area i will have to phone them so they can send someone out (probly a marshall from the circuit i'd guess) to come and meet us and drive us in, show us where to park etc but it means we will be able to get parked by the teams and all the cars getting ready for the races during the day The 1st Alfa race is at 11 so i was thinking of meeting up at this pub carpark at half 9, leave there for the circuit for about 9:45 ish and get to silverstone for about 10 ish or a bit before, not sure if people will be queing to get in or not --> http://www.thewhitehorsesilverstone.org.uk/index.html The address is: The White Horse, Stocks Hill, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, NN12 8UW The pub is hopefully not too far out of anyone's way who is going so with any luck it won't be much of a detour for anyone and we can drive over to the circuit and get some good parking places Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted October 17, 2013 Yea i saw the weather . Im still going though, it rained last time i was there but they had a big truck with a canopy thing over the cars & big umbrella's so didn't get wet still, it would be much better if it stayed dry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 cool, i spoke to Gaz abut it today at the trackday. think he was meeting us there aswell but would need to double check he is staying about 12 miles from silverstone so probly on his way anyway. just depends what time he is going and if his car has enough oil left in it, it had a little wee today Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
