Try to book the Monday off work, so that you can stay over on Sunday night and have a well-deserved ****-up!

 , ie get some sleep. I believe that each "team" arrange between themselves. Don't depend on the fog rolling in.Remember that the full race day ahead of the 24hr race starting is what finances it. It ain't ideal, but - if that's what it takes..... Not spoken to Alan yet about this year's event but presume we'll be doing normal "deliveries".. - I know they are appreciated. Shelagh (aka PieLady) PS - Should deliveries take place, I'll try to remember where Brooklands is!

Any way, I would suggest that you make sure you have a torch with you - if only for finding the way to the Loo!!!!! As we know that Silverstone is short-manned, if you have a portable gas stove & kettle (plus coffee/tea & mugs/sugar/spoons/milk) then make sure you take it with you. I can guarantee you'll be popular - if only by me doing my rounds in the dark!! Otherwise, an incident is an incident, in the dark or light - but in the dark you must be more aware of the traffic as they are less likely to see you (despite the tabard). Also, if there is something like oil down - both you and the drivers are unlikely to see it, so anything could happen. Just take the normal 100% care that you would take but multiply it by at least 2. My experience on the track in the dark comes from Le Mans - but there is usually more lighting than at Silverstone. Otherwise, just enjoy the experience of doing a 24 hour race. It is something else entirely. |

Thanks for the replies so far,
incident or flag,not bothered to which i do, but i applied to Pam at silverstone. Pie deliveries early of the morning,now that sounds a darn good idea. Now all depending what post we`ll be on,the cooker ain`t a problem as we got a 2 ring gas camping cooker,so even bacon butties are always on the menu and the wife is always willing to do her bit and help feed the troops. The staying up bit doesn`t bother me,but the wife needs her sleep and we booked off the Monday & Tuesday off work. But being sober on a sat night,now thats something i could never train for....

Maybe they could invite 5th Gear to race in a similar car, winner takes all.
