Bongo Fury

I should know by the weekend if we have centre vehicle passes....... ...........then we can camp between Copse & Maggots....inside..... with the Marshals....... I may be required to provide galley facilities for them bit that is a small price to pay...

How big a ship will you need?

The guys are meeting with the Chief Marshal this Saturday.......

Any update on this Mike?

White Rabbit say that the £30.00 camping tickets have been withdrawn due to lack of interest, so unless Mike can pull some white rabbits out of a hat, we're going to have to go for the £50.00 tickets

Waiting a phone call with yes or no for the freebies........I have told him I will be p155ed off if I have to pay £50......I would rather camp in the car park with the other 100 spectators....

I'm afraid I'm now going to have to miss this meet I've got a family funeral to go to on Friday afternoon and will be staying overnight. I will actually be in Northamptonshire, but it doesn't really seem polite to say I'm off to the racing

Race doesn't start until 4.30pm, make a dignified escape around lunchtime and get there in time for the pre-race buildup

And I have now a Marshal's car pass......... (well a very very good copy of an original........which the Wombles wont question...) will get you in no probs....

It's a nice thought, especially as I'm not keen on funerals (especially my own ) I'll see how it goes and take my tickets with me, but don't hold your breath, as I'll have my son with me as well and he doesn't like motorsport . My uncle dropped dead, totally unexpectedly, and my aunt and cousin are pretty cut up, as you would expect, especially as my cousin's husband only died a few weeks ago They were told that my uncle had had a massive heart attack and died instantly. Just goes to show that you never know - he wasn't even slightly overweight, only drank on special occasions, never smoked and took regular exercise.

Great weekend as usual.....well I like racing and camping.....
Great to meet Team Muz again and it was nice weather daytime yesterday and for the start of the main race, however the weather turned a little sour with the rain that swept the UK...oh well.......
My cousin enjoyed it and got plenty of photos.........I didn't.... I am sure Muz will be sharing some with you all

Yes indeed. A great event, shame the weather deteriorated but that’s racing – it’s spooky in the grandstands at 5am with the cars circling obediently behind the Safety Car in the fog

As far as photos go, Silverstone is undergoing significant change and there are less & less opportunities for fence-free shots, which is really frustrating knowing what it was like only last year


Camp set up behind the Start/Finish straight – No chance of any sleep then


Time to look at some of the contenders – where else can you get into the pit garages and this close to the cars?


None of the Bernie EcclesCake “only people who are celebrities in their own imaginations” here












When did you last see an AlfaSud?


Mrs Muz famously asserted that this should be on a Merry-go-Round


Exhausting work, this


Back to camp for some lunch before the start of the race


Now here’s an idea. Start the race with a Union Flag. But where from – get a geezer in a Red Beret to put a target in the gravel….


….get some people to leap out of what appears to be a perfectly airworthy plane….


….make patterns in the sky….


…and deliver said Union Flag from the sky


Now that is a cool idea


Pre-race buildup – the much fancied Jet-Alliance Porsche 997


The amazingly fast but amazingly fragile Aquila CR1


One of the fancied Mosler MT900R


BMW M3 E46


Good to see Mazda make an appearance


One for Steve (BDC) – A Cosworth Escort


Porsche 993 RSR


Marcos Mantis


Aston Martin N24


BMW M3 E92
