Anyone else up for a bit of a convoy? As far as I understand it they want us there for 9:40 at the latest so we can display our cars when they open the gates to the public, but the more experienced members say get there before 8am to avoid queues (plus some of you have track time which has briefings earlier than the parade time).

how about we meet up at Northampton Services at M1 J15a (northbound, so southern side of M1) and then make our way down the A43 Blisworth Bypass to Silverstone. should be about 20 min drive but leave there at 7:30 to try and avoid a queue?

il meet you guys too at junct 15a 9am :)

 

will you be at the south or northbound services?

i think it'll be the northbound services (the ones on the south side of the M1). people heading south can get off at 15a then head under the M1. this is the route we'd be taking anyway as thats where the A43 southbound is.

i think it'll be the southbound services (the ones on the north side of the M1). doesnt really matter as im sure you can hop across from one to the other (tho ive never stopped off here before so dont take my word for it :p )

id have to leave at junction 16 and come back down... then, when we leave we would have to go down to junction 15, get back on the m1 northbound up to junction 15a! like a big roundabout lol!

 

maybe we could meet at the northbound 1 as you guys would have to go past it eventually anyway... would make it lot easier for us lot who are coming up from the south :)

:D changes made thanks Joely

...blimey its a complicated junction - just been looking at it with Google Earth but at least its good for people from both north and south

:D changes made thanks Joely

munchos gracios dave... looks like the SE lot are being lazy and cba to get up that early so it could well be me on my lonesome lol

Avoid a queue???

at Silverstone??

At 9.00am??

You are joking.

AFAIC you will need to be arriving before 8.00am at to have any chance of getting in at all.

Yet more words of wisdom from my old muckker

 

poop the bed fellas and try and get there earlier

any one who has track time should be inside before 8 any way to make sure they attend relevent briefing

ok going on your experience let's knock it back awhile, so leave 15a at 7:30 to get there about 7:45. :hurl:

il pass this on to the se crew... either way il meet you at j15a m1 northbound before 7:30 :)

Will try and meet up with u fellas, but as I come in on the A43, I will probably head straight for Silverstone, plan on being there will before 8am.

See you there, safe driving to everyone, and l am sure it will be a great day
