I assume you mean the 750mc meet this weekend? If so yes, you can go anywhere you like, plus a lot of of us are setup outside the garages as there
isn't space. You can also get into most of the grandstands on the inside of the circuit. If you have room throw a push bike in, it makes getting
round so much quicker and easier 
Here is the program and timetable, plus where the different formulas will be parked up

usually £10-£12. I'd offer my spares, but i've already donated them. Defo worth asking on here if there are any going though.

Hi
The great thing about the 750mc race meetings is that people who come to watch and walk around the paddock are made to feel most welcome. I suspect
that if you asked any driver about there car they would be very willing to talk about it and whats involved with running the car Etc.
Maybe we could have an official report with marks out of 10 from theconrodkid as to who made the best Tea / coffee n biscuits. 
Cheers Matt

Hi
Nott too bad ta. But having recently being trying to use the crutches etc. It has been discovered i am perhaps trying a bit too much little to soon .
So in reality attending Silverstone is not going to happen due to the distinct possibility of me over doing it there also.  Although Ivan will be
there.
cheers Matt

me and 4 others should be in attendance for the weekend 4 Indys and a Tiger. The 750 is a good series to follow its about driver ability racing like
for like. Pity Silverstone dont allow camping
other circuits they race at do
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Does the no camping on-site rule apply to competitors too? I'm testing Friday pm and racing Sat so was hoping to crash out in my little tent
for the night.
Cheers,
Shaun.

Most of us either camp or stay in motorhomes, buses, vans etc, not a problem, no one ever asks for you to prove you are a competitor.
