When was the last time Enge drove an LMP ?

Was it a Rafanelli R&S ?

Be prepared for sun, rain, hail, wind, etc. UK weather can be 'interesting'...
As said, walk all the way round over the 6 hours.
Email me, I MAY have a spare FREE ticket?
Depends on if Minime has used up the other 2 I had.

For the start, get to the OUTIDE of the first corner, past the emergency vehicle access point.
Then head out into the country for Hangar straight and the full sound effect!

It's relatively easy to get a good view all the way round these days, as they've built up the spectator banking. It's even possible to shoot over or round the fencing, now...

provisional timetable can be found here http://www.lemans-series.com/2007/fr.../timetable.asp however i have seen a later copy but the basic times are the same

canam · 28 Aug 2007, 15:35 (Ref:1998462)

Enge and Mucke...could make for an interesting drivers' briefing.

JAG · 28 Aug 2007, 19:33 (Ref:1998658)

I won two grid walk tickets, can you go right upto the cars?

jaysalv · 28 Aug 2007, 21:33 (Ref:1998759)

yes you can silverstone is fairly relaxed when it comes to there pit lane rules

24Hours · 28 Aug 2007, 21:42 (Ref:1998764)

Hi guys i am here from Australia and am not missing this for the world! Is there a way to get hold of either pit walk or paddock tickets? I would like to maximise my time there. The last time i saw racing of this dicipline was when the ALMS came to australia for the race of a thousand years, so im pumped for this one.

Mike_Wooshy · 29 Aug 2007, 06:36 (Ref:1998933)

Im really considering going to this, i checked a few websites (LMS and silverstone own)
It appears I can pay at the door, anyone know how much it is for a pitlane pass thou ?
surely I can't buy this at the door ?

At Spa both could be done at the circuit

Tim the Grey · 29 Aug 2007, 15:44 (Ref:1999267)

Somehow I doubt you can BUY a pit lane pass for Silverstone?
General Entry SHOULD get you into the paddock, and from there you can nose in the back of the pits, if that's what you wanted?
There's often a Pit Lane Walkabout offer to boot, just before they all go off onto the grid...
Whether they charge for this, sorry, no idea...

jaysalv · 29 Aug 2007, 17:05 (Ref:1999329)

i had 6 tickets given to me by team jotas sam hignet in 2005 which we c ould go everywhere with but the was people with normal tickets in the places where we were . i was watching the end of the race from there pit garage.. tickets at the door are £20

No, tickets bought on the gate are £15 for Saturday and £25 for Sunday. There is no mention of weekend tickets being available on the gate, these can apparently only be bought in advance at a cost of £20.

So, if anyone's going and hasn't bought their tickets already, it would be prudent to book online. This can be done through the official Silverstone Website.

jaysalv · 30 Aug 2007, 20:03 (Ref:2000323)

so thats £20 for the whole weekend if you book online ?

Correct, plus a £3 handling fee (that's a one-off charge for orders of up to 10 tickets). Children under 16 get in free.

Mike_Wooshy · 30 Aug 2007, 22:40 (Ref:2000470)

Well thats settled that !
Ill be seeing some of you sunday !

jaysalv · 31 Aug 2007, 12:56 (Ref:2000831)

Hehehe, yes, there was a small shower 2 years ago wasn't there?

jaysalv · 1 Sep 2007, 12:41 (Ref:2001297)

a small shower you call it i had to pull over on the motorway it was raining that bloody hard and to top it all off i did not take a coat so came off £50 lighter after having to buy one in the silverstone shop

rdjones · 3 Sep 2007, 10:42 (Ref:2002446)

Remember this a 3 day meeting and a friend of mine spoke to Silverstone last week and he was told it is free to get in on the Friday.

Ooh, intriguing. What's on the Friday? Support race practice sessions?

Also, is it just me or is the entry list a little late coming on the LMS website?

dj choc ice · 3 Sep 2007, 15:57 (Ref:2002756)

friday is lemans series free practice and qualifying for the support series races, namely the 207CC cup and CER i think, i would go on friday but i have school and im going for the saturday and sunday, staying at home farm, which is one kick arse b&b in towcester

Nick49 · 3 Sep 2007, 20:22 (Ref:2002989)

Hello

So Friday is free

If we all remember, at the 2005 race the advance ticket was also a roving grandstand ticket except most of them were closed and the security tried very hard to keep them closed!!

I was going to be at Silverstone for two days but I'm now taking my oldest daughter to University on the Saturday so its race day only. Very much looking forward to it and I just hope the weather holds but considering the summer we've had

.

Nick

Had a lovely surprise yesterday morning; a very nice lady from Motorsport News (

) telephoned to inform me that I'd won 2nd prize in their 'Silverstone Le Mans Series Competition'. Not exactly sure what I've won (wasn't really concentrating

), but I know it includes free entry tickets.

Really chuffed, especially since I've been very remiss this year and hadn't got round to preordering our tickets!

(PS If anyone's got an old copy of MS with the competition details, could they please let me know what I've won?)

**Aysedasi** · 4 Sep 2007, 10:26 (Ref:2003427)

I'm expecting to be there for at least one of the days. My lad works for a Mitsubishi/Peugeot dealership and his boss is taking part in the 207 Spyder Cup. So he'll be there all weekend - as can I be, if I want to. For free - even better! (It seems I'm probably going to be the team photographer!).

Have we thought about a Tenths meeting?
