Rate this Entry
















Thank you to Mike (sorepaws) for sharing the invitation info on the forum.
Had good relaxed moment yesterday.


It was good to see some of the owners at the Supercar Sunday display as well.


Unlike the Silverstone Classic, you just park in the order of arrival so each makes and models were not grouped but still,
good to see some nice cars being driven for the day.












Also, big thank you to Silverstone Circuit for opening their Brooklands hospitality for our use.
I like watching the live timing and pit crew activities on the display during the event so that was another benefit.

It was very windy so after walking around quite some time, nice to sit down in the closed lounge with free coffee and tea
and then hop outside to watch the race from the balcony.

I miss the sound of old F1 cars and the GT machines......



Looking forward to another event if I can find another spare time…..

    Kaz, I was a guest of Toyota Gazoo Racing a the Rally of Italy in Sardinia over the weekend: their pit work is something to behold. Between major stages they have 20 minute slots to undertake some fairly major mechanical changes on the cars, and only 6 guys are allowed to physically touch the cars. While we watched they changed all 4 springs, 3 brake discs (plus one whole driveshaft and brake assembly), front nose cone, repaired some side impact damage (including fitting a new sill), plus something underneath the car. The most impressive tool I saw used was a sledgehammer! You couldn't describe it as a well-oiled process but impressive to watch. You would have loved it!
