patently Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Like the title says, really. Silverstone are opening the year's race meetings on Easter Sunday with free entry, activities for the kids, and racing in the background. Including me at 12:25...

patently Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Well, I survived race 1 today. Qualified P9, finished P8 No damage, car still pristine for the family to come and watch me trash it tomorrow 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Just been talking with my granddaughter about what to do over easter, you may have made my choice very easy. Thanks. LittleMissMe got to sit in patently's car at Croft and still mentions it now. Mind you, she also still laughs when she recollects Eldavo69 going head first down in the rain when trying to get to a seat in the stand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I'm in the support paddock, easy to find as its full of Caterhams. Look for the GRS flags, there are 6 of us there but you all know what the car looks like. Come and say hi, I'll have family with me and I'll be a bit busy from 12 til 1 but you'll be welcome.

Scotty Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I got told tonight that "No, I didn't say yes to going". "Yes, sounds like a good day" - was obviously misinterpreted and now there's family things lined up. Summary: Oh FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patently Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Second race not so good, fell back to 11th. Rather frustrated by a driver in front who was impassable as he was using a wider circuit than the rest of us. He was penalised 5s but I reckon should have been looking at a DQ… Ah well, a good tussle up to that point (And the car is fine!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Needn't have worried about the weather need I. A decent weekend's work. You're actually getting quite good at this lark aren't you. Shame race two was so frustrating. Hope he didn't get his signatures, he definitely needs another lesson on track limits. I think I counted him go four wheels off three times in the first three laps you were with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 He already has his signatures - just. The officials spotted only three track limits so penalised him accordingly. I'm going to flag it up to the Club's Driving Standards Team, he seems to be treating this as the way to drive the circuit and needs to be told.

Scotty Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I laughed at that. Is it frowned upon to not have a steering wheel attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
