Not a lot of rain so far, a bit of sunshine this morning too - but it's very cold - colder than yesterday IMO. (Which matches well with the stinking cold I've gained since Friday morning..... ;(

At the way it's continuing to pour with rain, the cars will need outboard motors if it continues until tomorrow.

It started raining just as the cars began their green flag lap and a half. Got very wet indeed. I gave it best for just over an hour then retreated...... Tomorrow is another (hopefully better) day. But be warned, there may be more sun but the prediction is for strong winds - tshirts and shorts at your peril!

As I left, so many cars were going off in the wet, I'm wondering if any will make it to the finish? |

I gather it was red flagged? Although the weather down the road in Buckingham has eased a lot - hardly raining at all now. Trouble is it was just soooo cold.
We had the wind-blasted faces yesterday and today. My face looks as though I have sunburn! |

Because Silverstone decided not to open it, they must have decided people would rather have four other grandstands open.

I noticed the list was at least posted in the programme...
God it's been COLD for 2 days. Add in TISWAS Torrential weather, and it bodes well for things unravelling in the 6 hours this afternoon... I was relieved to bump into Walter at teh FIA tent today. Turns out he forgot my phone number! DOH! |

Woolley, if you're on the outside of the entry to Club I can see you! Got here a bit late to come and meet you.
Anyone want to say hello I'm sat at H246 in Club, or let us know where you are and I might come and find you when my backside has gone numb! |
