I will be there on Sunday but being new I've never met any of you. I will look out for the banner but it sounds like it might not be there. I will be the one shouting very loud for Mr Irvine!!

Me, me, me, me, me... I will be there from Thursday afternoon through to mid-Monday. I know there's nothing there on a Thursday but I'm coming up extra early. I'm staying with friends in the village and I thought I'd make a bit of a holiday out of it (even though I only live 28 miles from the circuit).
Let me know where you're all planning to be - save me searching madly for the 10-10ths banner. See you Suzy |

Current plan is ... I to travel to the circuit everyday. Aim for Sunday is to wake up at 3am start driving at 4am ... 5am join the "q" at the gate and then find a place to sit.

Well I could lie......
......and say yes I'll be there but what would be the point in that I ask you! Instead I will just have to sit at home infront of the box getting very jealous of everyone who is there, but there is the comfort of not having to wait a good 4 hours to get out of the damn place when the race has finished!

I'll not be there either... waaaaaay too much money for me! If no-one is working, we could meet up somewhere and watch it on TV though ? Anyone care to nominate a pub with a large TV and within easy travelling distance of London, Woking, Salisbury, etc...?

Bella and I are camping so if you give us an E.T.A we'll join you in the queue Spooner. Everyone together sounds like a good idea because we can keep the spot more easily.

She's awfully quiet... she's either:
a)imploded with excitement, or b)working on some horrifically incriminating photos of me from Silverstone... ![]() Last edited by Minardi fan; 10 Jul 2001 at 11:13. |

I'm shattered ... I eventually got home at 8.30 this evening.It took me 30 minsutes to get into the circuit at 10.00am and 30 minutes to escape.
A fantastic day with the lovely weather adding to it. It decided to rain about 1.30/2.00 just after the second F1 session ... and didn't it rain ![]() He last message was to tell everyone to look out for the flags tomorrow! ![]() |

It's British GP weekend... of course it rained!
Glad you had a good time mate... hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend even more! Wish I was there, but i'm saving that money and can probably do five or six other meetings for the same amount...! ![]() |
