(for Mk1ers) -Silverstone Classic

[Charged]

Hi Mk1'ers,

SILVERSTONE CLASSIC 23rd - 25th July



is anyone looking at attending silverstone classic with the Mk1 club? There is an offer on tickets until the end of June (buy one get one free) and the Mk1 club have been granted some parade laps of the circuit for the 25th anniversery.

It would be a real shame if there are only small numbers of Mk1s present.

Please post up here if you are interested. Silverstone classic is a great event to go to!

Thanks

Ollie

the Mk1 club have been granted some parade laps of the circuit for the 25th anniversery.

Will they be enforcing any decibel limit on the drive round?

for the price of one.

Will they be enforcing any decibel limit on the drive round?

I dont know for sure, but I doubt it.. these will be billed as 'parade' ie slow laps of the circuit... althought that didn't stop me hitting 110MPH + last time I did parade laps of silverstone

I will be taking my 1.5 and that is pretty noisey..

[SuperRedMR2]

what day is the 2 laps around track?

i take it there is going to be a mk1 stand? im not a member of anything else apart from imoc, will i still be allowed on?

[SuperRedMR2]

I'm going to this, tickets have been paid for, just waiting for them in the post.

I will be leaving mine at 6am, coming from Chelmsford Area if anyone wants to go in convoy and meet at south mimms or potters bar?

I hope it is a good event and the Mk1s are well represented

[SuperRedMR2]

It is a shame, I'd dearly love to have been there, got a lot going on at the moment though.

I'll see you at JAE Alex

Shame - would've been nice to see you!

I probably ought to wash my car at some point too!

[SuperRedMR2]

I'd like to see who'd be interested in my motor as she may be sold before/during/after JAE.
