I guess you'll be keeping us locals awake all night :rolleyes: - so I might as well come along and see what's making all the noise... Not sure what sort of help I could be though. Tea-boy perhaps?

The PBMW race is a class in the Toyo Tyres (TTRS), so our two races are Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Not expecting too much around Silver GP, I have been short of power all year and HP will talk down those straights. I have a three line whip wedding Saturday p.m., so won't be able to stay for the 24 hour (unless John sees sense)

Im tempted but I dunno if the GF will be that pleased with the camping idea, may just drive over on saturday. Saying that at what point during the weekend will the 24 hour be taking place? Edit: Im more than willing to help, whatever help I can be that is :unsure:

Have you seen all the drives available on the Britcar website? How do you land a drive in one of those cars? Do you have to do karting, caterhams, saloons previously? Good luck TMS. Looking forward to watching that on my laptop from bonny Scotland! chinky chinky ...unless you want a complete novice as a driver...?

Good luck to TMS - but I have to say that I was a little disappointed at the lack of response of my offer of help as requested by John in original post. Even a 'thanks but no thanks' wouldn't have gone amiss. I know he is a busy chap but it would have taken about 30 seconds to reply to my PM :(

It seems to be temperamental, working at the moment.

We watched the start from the start line. What a start! Rolling start and the first placed Mosler floors it on the start line and gets sideways and spins in front of 50 odd accelerating cars. Amazingly he doesn't get collected but mayhem starts further up the pit straight persumably as a result as a few cars had taken to the grass to avoid hm and the TVR and a Ginetta collide with each other and the pit wall. The clean up takes an hour woth the field behind the pace car.
