Silverstone don't half make the traffic heavy round my way though. Title: silverstone Post by: Batch on Monday, July 11, 2005, 08:41:49 I had my Town shirt on Saturday, if it was a fat ugly bloke in a jaguar cap (or recending hairline sans cap) it was me!
Saturday (and Friday) we were pretty much all over the Circuit -sat: Luffield for practice 1, Abbey for Practice 2, Stowe B for the Porsche quali and F1 quali. Pit straight for a bit of the GP2 then home. Sunday we had seats in Stowe B. Shame the race wasn't a bit more incident packed but enjoyable all the same. Glad the traffic was better than last time I went (1991). It took 4 hours just to get out the carpark then. I was back to my mums in Ciren yesterday in just over 2. Left straight after the GP.

I went in the Bridge shop on Saturday. Race was a bit dull - no major collisions or offs. Still good to go. Glad I bought a seat this year - not suited to 4:30. I assume you were camping?
