Definitely interested myself. Partly for the photography and partly because i'm an F1 fan. Not sure which dates though.

Dependant on weather really. If its a nice day you will literally see an F1 car lap none stop apart from coming in for fuel and lunch etc. There is issues with the number of days testing they can get in the F1 calender, so when they turn up for a test, and all systems are working...they literally will do 100's of laps!!

I'm definitely up for it, depending upon work (I'm a contractor and have been without a contract since Christmas, so if I get one, I may have to work

)

I'm going and I'm giving a lift to Gamefreak501 so he'll be there too. Anyone know what time things kick off and where a good place to meet is. Never been there before so don't know much about the place.
