Great to meet some new faces and meet some of the old(er) ones too. Thanks to the Committee for all their work in organising the event and also to Nissan and Britcar 500 and and and.... Sounds like a Grammys speech now lol:)

Anyway a great day out at Silverstone, with all the special access we were given, followed by a good night and banter at the hotel.

Bring on the Christmas party :thumbs:

We heard they blew the engine after a few hours, but then was told this morning that they got it going again, so fingers crossed :thumbs:

Hi All,

I would like to thank everyone for making my first meet a very enjoyable experience :#1:

It was a shame I couldn't make it for Saturdays Events but it was good meeting people at the Hotel afterwards.

I'm looking at my pics now and will post up any good ones ;)

What an excellent national.
True VIP treatment - Get the riff raff out of the pit lane - Not the 500 club members though! :#1:
Thanks again to Paul_S, Chillired, Nissan and RJN. Exceptional hospitality overlooking the pit lane, have never been on the podium before :thumbs:
Parade Laps and tour of race control was really great. Red devils parachute display was very good. Grid walk and tour of race control very interesting.

Great to meet up with old and new faces. Finally got to bed at 2:00am...

A few photos for now, will post up some more later.

Outstanding. We were directly over the pits in an exclusive 500 club members only area.
We had multiple plasma screens and personal radios as well.
