Heading up with TaKeN on the Friday :)

I thought this sounded good on the Silverstone site:

A Pitwalk will be held on all three days of the Young Drivers’ Test between 1700 – 1800, giving visitors the opportunity to view a variety of Showcars on display in the pit lane as well as several open garages.

Tickets are limited but will be available both in advance, and on the day. Pitwalk ticket holders will be able to gain access to the Pitlane via the track at Luffield from 1700 as the Centre is not accessible to the Public throughout the Event.

Can't see these tickets listed anywhere yet though.
 
Used up my free views on there but sounds like Mclaren's usual young driver test line up :p
 
Compared to Redbull/Toro Rosso who are running so many drivers it will be hard to know what info to take from them? I don't think what Mclaren have done is a problem, as the test drivers are sat in the simulator more than the race drivers so can be more useful to compare? Ferrari only have Massa and not Alonso too.

Updated the OP with all drivers now and some links. Please post any live blog links and I'll add them :)

Rocked up tonight, had a gander in the paddock :D Asked a few teams to a look in the garages but not allowed due to cars being in bits. Can't wait for tomorrow.
 
Hot day is hot. On balcony with sofas over looking Wellington straight so all good :)

Did for a while then went back to the bar :p Did you do the pit walk? It was okay but a bit of a waste as it was only demo cars in the end. The drivers were signing autographs yesterday and Wednesday :/
