I was until last year. Then went to a f3 champs and formula renault, renault world series race weekend at silverstone. Was awsome, had the pleasure of seeing the Renault F1 car both up close and going round a track at break neck speeds. You'll love it, watching racing on TV is nothing like watching it live.

And as for my car......I cheated, I went to a car-wash I shall be bringing detailer tomorrow

Anyways, night folks, speak to you tomorrow *irons FF T-shirt*

oooh quick detailer ey?
will have to see how good a job we did in the dark

 

[smokeyjoe03]

Home already

Loved it, great day out, nice too see everyone Not a bad turn out at all, and we actually stuck it out in the cold and the wind (unlike Club Cent0)

Abarths were fun to watch, better than the F3 and equally on par with the GT cars. Would suggest going to watch them if you didn't come today. I think there is a Trofeo Abarth Race at Silverstone soon.

Anyway, pics to follow (have we got a gallery for this?)

 

[alexh365]

Yay!! What an awesome day!!

10 car turnout = WIN!

Thanks so much all who came, and special thanks to Jenna (+1) for helping me organise.

Big thanks to Paolo Callea, David Willey,Simon Bonser and Phil Hosker.
And to Abarth UK, Motorsport Vision Racing and CTC.

Photos to come....I'll PM and see if we can get a gallery.

Nice to see club-cento (in small numbers) and Abarthisti (In large, all be it the same car numbers)

 

[alexh365]

The full schedule is here:

Am assuming from the Abarthisti turnout that they will be attending them all

The July silverstone may be fun. Maybe we should have a poll and see what the preference is.
