Here's the 2013 map, but I've added a grey line showing the route of all the previous years.

Hi all, A change of plans now means I'm free next Saturday for the Silverstone Classic, I know my Strato's is a long way off but it would be good to meet a few people and put faces to names etc. If I can still get a ticket can you park at the relevant owners club area? My GTM Coupe is on the road and the GTM OC have an area booked so can you just turn up with a ticket or would you need a club area ticket or pass. Thanks Paul

I didn't get my Stratos ready in time on a previous year, so drove in with my normal car with the Stratos car pass. I was told to move my Corsa off the club stand, out of the circuit and into the public car parks outside.
Hi Paul
You will have to park in the public car park no 50 or 51 are closest PM me if you require a ticket
egards Ken
The first batch of tickets have gone in todays post !!!!!

Ive just learnt that unlike in previous years, YOU CANNOT BUY TICKETS AT THE GATE.
All tickets must be bought in advance. Lucky that I discovered this as my OH and her son were coming up for the day on sunday. Thanks to Ken ive managed to get two more tickets

Mine's arrived too. Thanks Ken. There's a mistake in the reg. number. But there's no way that I'm going to get pulled by the blokes on the gate.
Mine was wrong last year and again this year! It was not a problem 2012.Quote:

And mine today too. Thanks Ken
Mine also Ken thank you for your efforts

Thank you Ken recieved the tickets.
Due to the organisers not allowing the hospitality bus onto the stand this year, there will only be Teas/Coffees available, in disposal cups , or you can bring your own, Ken & i have tried upto this past weekend to gain access, but to no avail.
There will be a portable gaz cooker if anyone wishes to use it.
Regards carol
What a shame about the bus. The Classic seems to be moving in an "interesting" direction, rules wise. :(Quote:

A more sensible rule, would be just one extra vehicle per club stand?
Tickets arrived, thanks Ken.

Have we a gazebo or tentage of some sort? Has the club funds (and the time) to purchase such? If so, we could head out to the car park where the camper will be parked mob handed and get it in.
Having said that, I won't be there until Saturday this year. So, I would get all of the benefit with none of the work! :D
Hi Elliott,
Gazebos will be allowed, no doubt.
A gazebo doesn't provide the same 'hub' for the Stratos club stand in my opinion.
I'm just miffed that it messes up the weekend for the people who do the most work for the club's well being.
It's not just that though, there are quite a few sensible and practical benefits that'll be lost.
This ban, along with the "no walk ups" ticket policy seems to me as if Silverstone are trying to position the Classic as another Goodwood. This would be a shame, IMO.
For you Group C fans:
One XJR-14 is entered by Nic Minassian. That's the all purple one with a bubble cockpit, like Brundle drove at Le Mans.
'Think he was driving that 905 Peugeot that never made it to the race last year? 'Similar era, is it?
I'm not a group C expert. Ask me about ERAs!
Got back tonight, tickets are here, thanks ken:)
Just need to pick up the new radiator and get it fitted ready for saturday!

Don't forget your wellies, and brolly, it looks like it may be a little damp on Saturday!!!
In The garage fitting a new radiator - see you tomorrow........Quote:

A MASSIVE thank you to Martin Santos of Electrical Car Services, Rayleigh, Essex who went far beyond what could be expected from a company.
Yesterday, I took my Hawk out for a pre Silverstone run. After a few miles, the indicators stopped working, as did the near side headlamp lift motor. Not being an auto electrician, I called Hawk Cars for some advice. They immediately gave me Martin's number as he does the wiring looms for their builds.
I gave him a call to see if he could help. What he did was more than admirable and deserves enormous credit and a public pat on the back. He diagnosed the probable cause of the problem - a faulty hazard warning connection. I told him that I needed to get to Silverstone on Friday for the Classic. Martin then said that although he was extremely busy and a man down at work, he would drive from Essex to me in North London after hours to sort it out. Even when I told him that I had to attend a family celebration and that I wouldn't be there, he said he would sort it out.
And he did. He didn't even leave Essex for the fifty mile drive to my place until 8pm and he worked until 11pm sorting out both the electrical problem and the headlamp issue. And for all of that he charged me only £90. Don't forget that he didn't know me from Adam.
So, now I can take my car to Silverstone for the fifth year running. Without Martin, I would have not got it done.
Here's his company's website:
http://www.electricalcarservices.com/
If you want service above and beyond the norm, Martin is the man.
We all seem a little busy today, mine a little earlier in illustrious company (JW's Hawk - with Delta Evo 4 pot, Dealer Edition 16V, and 8:32 Thema) finishing off the wiring for the heated screen, which is awaiting fitting. Drove the 8:32 few days before, nice noise and LOADS of torque, any gear, any speed - just gets up and GOESSSSSS
