Well,yes,but even if there are only about 25,it would still be a major attraction to the familys who will [hopefully] attend.

rbs · 28 May 2009, 17:02 (Ref:2471030)

According to the Silverstone Classic website Santana have now pulled out of the meeting!

Apparently they are now going to be free concerts on a stage by the Harley stand. (Pussycat dolls have also pulled out.) Blue should still be playing and will be supported by various bands/people.

zefarelly · 30 May 2009, 06:31 (Ref:2471985)

I've played in better bands than Blue, frankly I'd rather listen to a two wheeled tractor, sorry, a Hardly Ridable with loose tappets and a dodgy big end being revved up and down for an hour

terence · 31 May 2009, 04:25 (Ref:2472422)

As Blue are a support act to PCD,I wonder if they will be there anyway,if PCD have another gig elswhere,surely thats where Blue will be.[Hopefully!]

simon drabble · 1 Jun 2009, 07:13 (Ref:2473149)

I presume the Classic doesn't clash with a GP in which case it would be fun and appropriate to get a "Band du Lac" type group like Piston' Broke to play and I am sure they woudl be happy to play for free, some of the members woudl probably be racing at the classic.....

terence · 1 Jun 2009, 07:36 (Ref:2473164)

Well we do have two guitarist's on here,I wonder if Nick is doing the Classic!

Tim the Grey · 1 Jun 2009, 09:53 (Ref:2473226)

They'd need a bigger stage for HIS kit?

fasted · 1 Jun 2009, 10:24 (Ref:2473248)

I`m not at all disappointed. I always thought PCD stood for Pitched Circle Diameter and I never got Santana first time around so forty years later he stood no chance. Looking at the age and preferences of many that willl be there I would have thought a good Elvis impersonator would have been more appropriate to entertain an assembly of racing driver impersonators

terence · 1 Jun 2009, 11:14 (Ref:2473277)

If we're going to lower the Tone by that amount,just be done with it and have a Karaoke contest

,should be more in line with how the UK is at present!!

It would be the one classic event where none of the competitors would be underweight! Although overbored would be another matter altogether

avro · 1 Jun 2009, 16:04 (Ref:2473469)

The last I heard there were about 10 Super Tourers entered but I think thats now 9 !!!!!!!!!!!

Will the organisers still let this race go ahead with a reduced number like this??

Also are entries still being taken to help boost the number at all??

Any idea what types?

rogerwills · 4 Jun 2009, 10:48 (Ref:2475266)

I've heard that this touring car grid is to be opened up to 70s and 80s ETCC / BTCC type cars as well - so Batmobiles, Capris, etc. Sounds fantastic!

terence · 4 Jun 2009, 11:43 (Ref:2475295)

Even more so if you just happen to own one of the later.

But it could well be an eye opener as to the performance difference's between the likes of a Bat Mobile to say,a Cavalier.I think I would be inclined to bet on the BMW in terms of grunt but the Vauxhall should have it on the twisty bits,could be a very good show.

Will someone (Masters?) tell us if this happens or will we have to keep checking the Classic website?

terence · 4 Jun 2009, 19:46 (Ref:2475502)

I would have thought the Team will keep you well informed Mike,I wonder if the STs will be running slicks as in period as well.

rogerwills · 5 Jun 2009, 04:28 (Ref:2475741)

I know posting email addresses is discouraged, but anyone interested in running a car on this grid should make contact with Joe by email info(at)batcave-racing.com

Obviously replace the (at) with the @ symbol.

If it felt inappropriate to post email addresses here, please remove.

johnh875 · 5 Jun 2009, 05:30 (Ref:2475754)

Roger that sounds very interesting if it is true! Would definitely add some interest to the ST race

rogerwills · 5 Jun 2009, 08:35 (Ref:2475827)

I received this email this morning and copy it here for everyone's info:

"It has been confirmed by the organisers that the race will include classes for 70's and 80's slick shod Touring Cars in addition to the 90s Super Touring cars. The races will follow the same format as before (2 x 20 minute races) and hospitality will be provided with the entries. If you wish to be considered for an entry please contact Joe: info@batcave-racing.com."

**John Turner** · 5 Jun 2009, 09:17 (Ref:2475847)

Just to confirm, Roger; there's no problem with this type of commercial and/or organisers e-m address; it's the private ones that we pull.

jminsh · 6 Jun 2009, 07:09 (Ref:2476354)

cool bring it on, shall go and blow the cobwebs off the trusty E30 M3 !! at last

johnh875 · 7 Jun 2009, 06:24 (Ref:2476775)

Fantastic, I hope that some of the earlier cars appear. It would be wonderful to see some touring cars we don't have in Australia.

midgetman · 8 Jun 2009, 13:35 (Ref:2477691)

Hi chaps, bit of help required as I've never been before. I'm thinking about taking a stand in the tented area. Anyone any idea whether "real" people get there or is it just the plastic bag brigade?

TIA
