Were driving down Saturday morning. Staying at a hotel etc Saturday and going to circuit for race day Got that 20% discount tickets on the money supermarket deal.
Looks like pedrosa won't be there so the race looks less interesting already... Honda better provide a stand in rider. After 10 days they must provide a substitute but they can string dorna alining by saying he is racing yet have no intention of it. They won't wOnt another rider to put miles on his engines
Any suggestions on where to be for a good view...going on race day tomoz and will prob be standing.. its my first time so has anyone got any tips?
Really sunny down here at the minute.'forecast heavy rain for this afternoon though. I heard Rossi had threatened not to race as the bike is hopeless round here Abraham has stuck his on the 3rd row though! Not sure where to sit either. If it's raining im going to just sit in tue first stand I come to. Not marching round in that all day!
what a shit day my starter motor broke on my car about a mile from circuit bump started it and parked on a hill at silverstone so i could get it home!! pissed down all day and we were soaked anyway from an hour on hard shoulder! a biker got knocked off right in front of us by a car pulling out on the way home i had to fill car up 2 times with engine running as i couldnt re start it if i switched it off then 20 miles from home a landrover barrel rolled 2 or 3 times and landed on the hard shoulder in front of us so we phoned the police and me and another bloke helped the lad out. he was fine! really lucky oh and spies crashed right in front of us so we may be on telly.... looking fooking miserable. what a waste of a day.... anyone got a new clio 197 sport starter motor?......
im on all the clio forums. get a good discount for genuine parts. will try andrew page for pattern part too. bloody annoyed as im selling the car! just one of those things
Mate that is one seriously shit sounding day, I've been today and took the Mrs. For the first time ever.......NEVER AGAIN! Obviously we both know how wet it was and freezing but it wasn't until we got there, walking over a car park field , I looked down and saw her with open toe shoes on?. ffs Honestly, I nearly went and got her a high viz vest so everybody knew to give her a wide birth like they do on track days Bless her though she grinned and bared it for along as poss before it all got the better of her and then toys were out the pram. Nice to see that repsol of stoners on full chat, he's a demon!
my mrs is 5 months pregnant so really didnt find it amusing at all.... we were at croft last month and that was bad but this took the piss! never again. its what eurosport was made for
You know I was so close to taking a chance and me and the Mrs were going to ride up on the Sunday from Portsmouth...it was planned for a long time but the weather was putting us off. We were up and ready to go before we decided not to do it, I was gutted but judging by what I see out the window all day and what was on Eurosport at the track I'd say we made a very wise choice Carl
Ended up at East Fortune for the Bob Mac memorial trophy that weekend - fantastic racing, the weather was very ropey on Saturday but Sunday saw a good days racing !
