    Evening all,

    As some of you know i won the second prize in the MW Solicitors draw and that was a trackday at Silverstone GP circuit... one of my dreams... sooo.. i've booked up on the GP day on the 5th May with MSV - the only full GP date they've released for the year so far.

    Anyone else going? Would be great to get some pointers as i'm still just a novice! Just hope the weather is kind to me in May!!!

    Just sold my spot on this day because my bike isn't ready. Won't find it on MSV because it's not an MSV circuit.

    This is an amazing track, and defo one of my favs. Have a good day.

    Cool, what group are you expecting to be in?

    Think we're staying a few miles away the night before, will check where later. Looking at staying in Snoozebox the night after for a few beers and hopefully (!) toasting a good day!

    Think I'll be in novice but don't know as it's based on the questions they ask. Looks to be wet at the minute on the forecasts :( yeah, snooze box is just at the edge of the circuit - 2min ride and open a beer :)

    Ah i see, i wondered why they did not ask andy which group when he booked it, i need to ring them anyway as both the bookings are in his name on the conformation, not sure it will make any difference but want to check. theres out better than swilling a cold one after a day on track, i will have to check my work commitments. i hope its dry i have the wet !!
