Hi

I am just getting things sorted for the Silverstone Classic.
I will be at the Club Lotus area with my Thames 400e. Say Hello if you see me at the van.
Cheers

I'll be there. I'm in Guards Trophy. Qualifying late Friday and race at around 1:30pm Sunday. I've got Michael Caine co- driving so hopefully he'll get me some extra time.
I'll come round Club Lotus area - we're I'm the new pits in the Wing garages 8-13 so please come say hello. Car number 8.

Sorry to blow your bloody doors off Phil but I suspect it is the btcc driver of the same name.

Oh well... Couldn't really imagine a 80+ year old Alfie driving a racing Elan... He's a big guy...

Hi Paul,

Never got round to the garages when you were there.
your car had a few good tussles on that wet track during Sunday's race but not sure who was driving?
Where did you finish, the track looked very slippery- thanks for the entertainment :D

We finished 13th overall, 5th GT car (the other 8 were predominantly Chevron B8 sports racers) and 2nd in class. Not bad considering we were assigned a 17th row grid position.

I didn't enjoy the race - I was just too nervous with those conditions and so many cars on track. As it happened we got away with minor damage. Michael Caine did a very professional job as you'd expect
