Silverstone generally have a track day up until the week before christmas.
Then as with most tracks they are pretty much closed down 'till march time.

Don't worry about the weather - in RWD its a killer but with 4wd it adds to the fun and also dramatically reduces wear n tear.
I'd say that would actually be more of a laugh than a hot summers day with all the fluids and brakes boiling!

I've been round donny as a passenger in a F1 2 seater and how the hell they were racing on there is beyond me!
(just about and possibly under 1 minute on the national circuit - compare to the lap records and even though a 2 seater a very fast car)

Donnington is more central than Silverstone I would suggest for our memeber demographic who are in the Uk and there's nothing like Craner Curves for peeping turtles...... :sekret:

"Peeping Turtles" Love it :)

Donington has the advantage of being next to East Midlands Airport if anyone wants to fly in to be ballast and have a P-A-R-T-Y 8)

Wouldn't be the first time. At one of our first RS meets, one guy turned up in his helicopter.

Just thought i would put this idea in the fire, I live in Daventry which is quite central and we have one of the biggest karting tracks around (wilton mill) I don't mean a quick go on the little karts, we could use there twin engine karts on the full track and a long endurance race (maybe be in teams of various models IE team RS4 B7 etc etc) Maybe even have some prizes and then take over a curry house for the evening, Where close to silverstone and donington where we could all meet for a blast down to the kart track Just a thought, Cheers Tim. :bigwave: (I am up for joining up with what ever you decide to do)

Sounds like a good idea :)

The challenge seems to be who would come. There's a few takers, but would like to see more people showing positive intent :beerchug:
