Absolutely, many thanks Mike.
I'll be there all three days but sadly only with the Corvette on Sunday.
See you all there.

A sunny day in paradise , or a wet day at Silverstone Classic ? It rained , then it rained some more , then it stopped , then it rained , then it pored down ! But we carried on regardless .

A brutal weather day but fabulous Corvette action on track!

I came by the stand too early to say hello to anyone, so will do that tomorrow or Sunday!

Currently thawing & drying clothes!

I can't seem to post the pictures on here as the files are too big, so I've popped them on our page (registrations removed) and shared to the facebook group here's the link to my post.

A bit late so apologies for that, however, just wanted to say thanks to Mike for setting up at Silverstone at the weekend and also for the pleasant meet and greet when we arrived. Didn’t get to say good bye to anyone before we left on Saturday, mainly because you were all off around the circuit enjoying the racing, we had a 2 hour drive home and had enough of the rain by 4-4.30 so made a move.

No apologies needed , great to meet you too . Just a pity the weather was so grim much of the time , but as you say , most of us were out and about watching the racing and looking around the pits and paddock areas which is what it`s all about . I know just how you felt about having had enough of the rain and the prospect of a two hour journey . At least it is only 20 minutes drive for me .

As per my Facebook post, a fabulous 3 days at the Classic although sadly only on the club stand for one of them.
It was a pleasure to talk to those I met Sunday & a special thank you to Mike Gardner for the welcome & for putting the stand together.
Sorry I didn't see you to say goodbye & help pack up as discussed, but you had departed before we returned after the final race. Hope everyone got home safely.

Hi GC , sorry I missed saying goodbye too but having returned about 4 pm to have my first butty since breakfast time , I seized the opportunity when Rich Rogers arrived and offered help to get everything dismantled and bundled into the C3 and get away a bit early . My 20 minute drive home was a doddle .

Glad to hear you didn't struggle alone with it and hope you enjoyed Sunday's racing.
Which was you friends team again?

Do you also happen to know the name of the gentleman from Shropshire with the blue C2 parked to my right?
I had several great conversations with him but neglected to ask his name!

Oh dear, that is a bit muddy isnt it.

The gentleman you refer to is the extremely genial Chris Sale from sunny Shropshire . My fiends team does not have a name as such . PJM Preparations where I keep my C3 looks after the cars and all the race support and the gentleman drivers are father and son , David & Mark Mercer . David drives the Torro Rosso March 714B and Mark the Orange March 74B . They are F2 / Formula Atlantic cars. Both cars completed both races on Saturday and Sunday despite the conditions and early set backs for the Torro Rosso chewing up a drive shaft bearing that contaminated the clutch during qualifying on Friday . That meant a back of grid ( 16th ) start on Saturday but pulled up 5 places before final lap was red flagged . Both had class wins over the weekend so more silver ware to take home .

It's fair to say that the location of our stand at the Classic was pretty poor and I will be taking this up with Silverstone in due course.

However, I understand that Silverstone have issued an Event Feedback Form. Does anyone have a copy or could someone enlighten me on this please?

I would love to see that Feedback Form . I don`t think they would like my comments though !!!
