I'm not bothered by the racing and I ignore the politics, we do what "they" want us to do, it may not be how we normally do things, but it's "their" train set and we do what "they" want whether it makes sense to me or not.

It's absolutely not for everyone but I love it!

Great minds think alike Piglet.
Well put.

Had an awesome time at Woodcote Gap, easily my best GP so far. Not a lot to do on flags, but something fantastic company and now have a new sparkly cowboy hat to add to the Uni fancy dress box!! Score
BIG thanks to our lovely doctor who kept making sure we were drinking enough during the F1 sessions, and giving me magic sunburn cream
Here's hoping I get picked again next year!!!

Another first for me, too, and no problems about doing it again. Got to add my thanks to the Curry Club - I've had far too many curries than my doctor thinks is good for me, but not many better. Worth the trip for that alone, so put me down for next year, whether selected or not

Of all the things that might have happened, getting photographed on post during qualifying, with a delegation from Texas who are building an F1 track there, wasn't on the top 1000 tried blagging an invite for when they open without much success.

At times it felt like an Oulton Away Day and that credit must go to John, Colin, Steve, Dave, Alan, Gary and Fran (nice to put faces to names). My thanks and sympathy to Stuart for getting lumbered with me all weekend. And a final thank you to Anthony and Fagash for dispelling the myths about Silverstone IO's as they were a pleasure to work with.

When are the forms out for next year?
