Le Mans Series, Round 5: The Autosport 1000km of Silverstone
12-13-14 September (Can a mod add that to the title, I forgot)
www.lemans-series.com (Official site) www.silverstone.co.uk (Tickets etc) http://www.lemans-series.com/en/s52_....php?circuit=6 (entry list) www.radiolemans.com (Hindy) Sorry there aren't any colours! Simonsen to Strakka (leaving Gigwave one down at Brno?) Could be good, though I'm starting to wish it was anywhere but Silverstone, been there too often this year already! Only one title (congratulations Jos the Boss) has been decided, so it's gonna be good. It has a sponsor in the title, so let's hope to see some promotion, and those 30,000 that people keep whispering about Last edited by minimangler; 29 Aug 2008 at 11:38. |

Darren Turner is now driving for Strakka not Simonsen.
JWA using two different drivers in the Porsche compared to the other rounds this year: Peter Bamford & Matt Griffin (Paul Daniels is still the main driver). Also, Alan van der Merwe is still the only confirmed driver for the JWA Vantage GT2. Tom. |

Have any of you folks be able to purchase the pitwalk tickets for this race? I emailed Silverstone but the person who returned my email stated such tickets are not available. We've purchased them for other LMS races (usually 25€) and sure would like to do it for this one also. We do have weekend race tickets but if anyone may have in insight for the pitwalk, that info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

A few years ago, there was an empty one and I followed a crowd through it. That was my last experience. |

There is a pit walk between 10:00 and 10:40 following the drivers autograph session.
No details if anyone is allowed that has a general admission ticket but since there are only a few other support series and no pressure from classes racing around that time.... Wandering through a pit box to get access to the pit lane is usually not appreciated by the teams. Several teams had "Team member access only" signs on their doors at recent races already. |

The garage I walked through had cars in, but no team, or tools; as far as I can see the garage was barely even in use. |

So who's going off here? Would be nice to have a 10-10ths meet if there's enough of us. |

its just the current 5.5 V10 sounds a lot meatier and ear piercing unsilenced, witness petit lemans last year with the creation CA07 which made a glorious V10 bellow accelarating down spectator hill |

Alternatively - and sorry to be a killjoy - Don't go into the car prep area of any occupied garage without asking permission - There are always hot and fragile items around (having seen the costly results of one uninvited guest stepping on an intricate piece of carbon fibre aero I'm guessing its the last time that individual will wander in uninvited) - The guys are often very busy too. Most of the teams appreciate interest but that should always be balanced with courtesy for their working space.

Not very! But the garages are crowded, people are rushing about - In all seriousness its not the place to be if you don't know where to stand
