I've gotta be there for 8:30 briefing and so has Dunker, but I know Christ aint. Its only about 9 miles from Silverstone so not going to take you long....... Unless you wanna get there early and come in with us etc? I guess I'll be leaving about 7:45 - 8am from there or something. Wanna leave time to get to right place and then to briefing location.....

To be honest i want to get in and get settled, i hate waiting to get in and getting there late. If we say at your hotel for 8am, that gives us enough time to get everyone there and to silverstone on time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can meet at service station just off M40 or the pub car park on the south side of the A43, it s just after the camera. Chris`I said: From the A34 (Oxford direction) then A43. Basically opposite direction to you lot from the M1. I'm coming up the M40 from Oxford as well Chaps, I think I know the pub, its on the left as you are approaching Silverstone? Seem to remember a whole load of people stopped there on the way back from the drifiting a couple of years ago, also there is a speed camera there so it must be the one. That sounds like a good place to meet to me. How far from the circuit is it, I cant remember. Guess we can try and time it to get there about the same time as the others coming the other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Try this: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=52.070 ... &hl=en&t=h For all the others: this pub seems closer than I remember and the carpark is big enough for us from what I remember. There were loads of cars from the drifting one year that all stopped here and there seemed to be loads of room. Although it is past the circuit for our friends from the north, it doesnt look far, only about a mile or so. What do people think of meeting at that pub?

Chris, So this is meeting for northbound people? I know the southbound M1 lot look like they meeting at the Holiday inn as mentioned on the other thread...... just so its clear for anyone just reading this thread.....

I was thinking everyone (north and south) could meet there. Its only about a mile or two from the circuit so its pretty close and has a big car park. Looking on google earth there are lots of spaces. That way we can all go in together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Chaps, It is very close to the circuit, if you keep an eye out for the camera then it only a few hundred yards from it. For the northern monkeys, it would be easy to get there as less than 5 mins past the circuit. Do not know exactly if there is a right turn or if you would have to go past and do a u-turn. (from the google map looks to be a right turn) Chris & LB you have mail. Will get there for 8.00 then wait until 8.15ish if sign-on at 8.30 Val, steve will we have parking close to sign on as silverstone car parks are HUGE, are we in the middle. PS will bring track guide for those that have not been before, may even point out where I took the front off my caterham against the pit wall.

sl114 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Im so confused now. Val - what time shall i meet you on the M6, then i can follow you down to whatever is going on. Jacko - i presume still meet you at the hotel, and then convoy down to meet the others. Val you have my number, give me a call later if you can to arrange meeting up and all that stuff. Jacko will PM you my number now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunker Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 as confusing as it gets...there are 2 Holiday inns. One off the M1 at Jct 15 and one further afield at jct 16, which is actually on the A45 although advertised as M1. A few of us are staying at the latter one....

Removed Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 why don't we just meet at the Z club reserved space? Ok it'd look cool getting in together guys but being so early (and Debbie has already looked at me funny this morning when I sd 6am start...) I think the best thing to do is get in as soon as you can then meet up at the Z Club space tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
