Looking at the weather forecast, you would be wasting your time :?

The Met Office forecast for Silverstone Circuit looks good to me, maybe light rain at 4pm otherwise mixture of cloud and sun with a max of 18 degrees.

Friday was a washout but Saturday turned out ok. Well done to all who organised the weekend. :D Don't know why they stacked us all waiting for the parade lap for an hour and a half though :?:
Best group of Alpina's ever gathered together.

Many thanks to Simon and all involved with organising the event. Went on Saturday and had a great day, really enjoyed it! So glad we at least got lucky with the weather for Saturday and the parade lap.

Did anyone get any action photos from the parade lap? I have a video of possibly the slowest lap around Silverstone ever (actually think the MX-5s may have that one :roll: ) but not many photos.

Thanks to all for a great day!

Thanks Mick, ran perfectly all the way home much to my relief! Thought I might have been in for a long night at the side of the road but fortunately not :)
