Silverstone - what to expect?

make sure you take a portable radio and headphones so you can tune into the radio commentary during the race... otherwise it's hard to get any idea of what's going on.

So Saturday qualifying, whats the parking like, do you have to turn up early as well ?

Give Kimi a cheer for me, Knip!

Or, if you must, just cheer on that other fella you seem to like. What's his name..?

Take an umbrella (my top tip there) and enjoy yourself. I'm sure us Grand Prix posters will spare you a (jealous) thought on Saturday/Sunday.

Thanks, will be weird actually not posting in the GP thread, as for a brolly I am hoping to purchase an F1 brolly at some point in the weekend. And yes I shall be cheering on all the British guys, lets hope Jenson can have a successful weekend, and I have my face on DC's car which will make me wince every time he gets a bit too close to a kerb or barrier

Plus I will be cheering for the lovely Lewis as well.
I promise to come back and bore you all silly with it!
(promise to do a yay for Kimi at some point just for you LD!

Id love to be stood hearing all the airhorns on 1 occasion.... when all the brits see Hamilton on his first outing for the day on the track, the atmosphere will be awesome.

Does anyone have any tips for me camping?

Due to circumstances our little group wont be able to head down until Friday morning now.

A search on the web for camp sites is starting to make me nervous. One says 'best get their Thursday' though I suppose they might say that.

Another claims to be waterlogged and is only accepting people walking on with tents? A bit of a concern as it now looks like I'm hiring a car to head down in and am starting to worry about the car ending up in a mess.

Any tips appreciated. Starting to get a bit nervous about my lack of forward planning.

Uh oh. One of the two main camp sites has put a message up last night saying access for further vehicles has been closed due to the water.

hehe the best bit is walking from your campsite to the circuit when you can hear the cars screaming from miles off, yuo'll love it.

not going this year, hope it's a good day for all.

I guess the beast in the background is the new McLaren Communications Centre. Looks like Paragon in miniature
