SEC club area is on the INSIDE of the circuit, on the grassed area very near to the old pits and the Wellington straight bridge.
(Where the arrows are pointing on the old photos below)

Entry for SEC club cars is via the old main entrance (Entrance 3). Before the main entrance, if coming from the A43 junction.
Then turn left for the drive to Copse Tunnel, which you then need to go through to get to the inside.

'Bottom photo is looking towards Becketts/Stowe and the south.

I'm still attending but won't be in my LB STR. Had a couple of last minute gremlins that I haven't been able to sort and properly test, so decided not to risk it.

There was what looked to be an authentic Red Stradale parked on the pavement by the side of the road behind the international pit. Hopefully it's here all weekend.

Got there yesterday, but my wife had surgery last Monday and "bunking off" for Sat and Sun will not be the right thing to do

Hope she recovers quickly!

Good day today, thanks to Ken for organizing the club tickets and allowing us to use the shade at lunch time.

Few pictures.

Not a great turnout on the SEC stand, enough to interest the passing public.

Had a great day out on Sunday at the Silverstone Classic as usual............................this show never disappoints. There is always so much to do, spent a lot of time down at the International Pits talking to some of the mechanics working on various cars and looking at the engineering on the race cars both old and newer. Unfortunately got into the show through the R8 Owners Club as my Strato's is still not finished......:(:confused: Great to catch up with the faithful on the Club Stand, Ken, Paul & David, disappointed to see only 2 cars on the club stand on Sunday............................what has happened to the days when there used to be 15+ cars on the stand ????

Maybe as a club there should be more incentive's to get owners there with their cars, the Silverstone Classic and Stoneleigh used to be the major events of the year.

Great Photos from Nick. I can't really match those.
Anyhow, here's some of mine:

'Saw this UK reg. Stradale up at the wing on Sunday morning.
This car has been in at least 2 old magazine articles in the past.
CCC January 1987 (with Marlboro livery), then back to plain red in Thoroughbred and Classic Car December 1999. See here:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thoroughbred-Classic-Cars-magazine-December-1999-Lancia-Stratos/183337257370?hash=item2aafc0899a:g:b6IAAOSw3KFWeZDp
The reg. no. was always FYF 821V, but now is FTM 569L. It is the same car though. The details are all there. Enamel front badge, unique reverse lamp arrangement, 2 original left side door mirrors etc. The car is (or was) owned by Chris Wilson.


There was what looked to be an authentic Red Stradale parked on the pavement by the side of the road behind the international pit. Hopefully it's here all weekend.

Yes, that one.

Had a great Saturday meeting up with you all.
What a great position for the club stand but as said before its a shame so few club cars were there.
Thanks to Ken and family for the BBQ and then going back to watch the last races.

Managed to snap one from the bus as we went past.
Great photos you have posted.

'Hats off to Julie T.
'Making all us a BBQ on Sat. night, cycling back out of Silverstone on the Sunday to collect the Discovery and then running the gauntlet of Silverstone jobsworths to get back in.
Who else would do all that? I'll tell you how lucky you are Ken, just in case she doesn't ;)

Sister is going through the same, chemo next for her. Mum waiting for a new hip and knee, she's not mobile. Some things are more important than cars...

Hope you wife's news remains good Steve, hope to see you at Silverstone next year, hope to be there myself.

I agree Richard.
A brilliantly made film. Probably the best ever.
