Busby Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I've got some "special passes" spare if anyone is going to be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Thought about going if I wasn't too busy workwise but its full on at the moment. Looking after the kids this weekend too so it will have to be on the tv. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 got to love a 'special pass' especially at Sillystone but work is manic before heading to Seoul on Sunday - have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 That's a shame - they are BRDC passes :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 That's a shame - they are BRDC passes :D Have a bonza time, as well as the main clubhouse make sure you get a buggy over to the Farm clubhouse (good library!) as their grandstand is right in front of the end of the Wing start/finish straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Cheers Bazza. I'm lucky enough to have a friend who is a member so go quite a lot. Charlie Cox was at the Farm first thing this morning in a Jensen Interceptor that had massive AP Racing brakes and sounded a long way from standard! Got down to the Wing too which was cool as virtually nobody was there but us. Also got paddock passes for the day and one of the guys I took managed to get pictures with Redding and Lorenzo which is fairly good going. Back tomorrow with the BRDC passes and hospitality for good measure :D Great shot from the BRDC car park attached....... (and a gratuitous shot of the hospitality passes ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Is that an M3 GTS, thingy? Lorenzo looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yes, it's a GTS - number 046 - and it looked very special indeed. Lorenzo did look good. Usual super smooth riding and he was lapping with consistently quick times. Big temperature difference between the two sessions so I can only assume that Crutchlow couldn't find a good setting in FP2 as he was looking very good in the morning session.

Luke Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've seen Lorenzo twice at Silverstone and he is so smooth he actually looks quite slow. A bit like Prost used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 It would be good if that GTS belonged to VR being No. 46 Doesn't the rider with the most poles in the year get a new M3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 It would be good if that GTS belonged to VR being No. 46 That's a great shout. In fact, that's the story I'm going with from now on! Anyone going to be there for qualifying tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've seen Lorenzo twice at Silverstone and he is so smooth he actually looks quite slow. A bit like Prost used to be. He a great rider to watch live for that very reason. We stood on the inside of Maggots/Becketts/Chapel for a while and he looks so unhurried making those quick side to side changes. Everything just seems really relaxed - amazing really. I'd go through there at half the speed he does and look like I was having a punch up with the bike!

Maybe next year. If I have any passes for the BSB I shall try and post things up with a bit more notice. Did he say he didn't like the way the front end gripped, when he parked it?

Luke Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Just watching BT Sport and they're interviewing Scott Redding in his pit. 'So Scott, I don't know much about MotoGP bikes, tell us a bit about yours'. Fecking useless. I hope they get the boys from Eurosport on for next season, otherwise it's going to be sh1te.

Busby Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Great day today. The "moment" Marquez had was just incredible :notworthy: We were in the pits for a while after Cal had his smash and Tech 3 had all the barriers up at the front of the garage with mechanics running around all over the place. Apparently his arm is so badly swollen that his leathers had to be altered (arm removed and a bigger one attached) so he could get them on for qualifying. Mental!

Luke Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 So Marquez drops it at Vale this am and dislocates his collarbone! Wonder if he can make the race. Should tighten up the points if Lorenzo wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
