Silverstone 2wd Regional 22nd August
 

Last few days to book in, anyone from other regions who are coming down to practice please book into the 4wd class.

What will be the best way to get to the track as I assume the A43 will be pretty busy with the event at Silverstone on?

If you get there early enough you should be fine, gates will be open from 7.

It'll be a v.early start from Bournemouth!

Tempted to do this, but I haven't done any of the others so I expect I'd have to do 4WD?

It's not dependent on how many you've done, as long as you've not counted points in any other region then you can do the 2wd regional :thumbsup:

Haven't done anything else in other regions.

Guys so you know there will be NO food again on sunday

If you run in the 4wd/Open class, you should be able to run both 2wd and 4wd - thats my understanding and plan for Sunday!

Toby is right, the open class you can run anything which can be 2wd/4wd/SC10 truck

Paul

That's fine then, you can run legitimately in the 2wd regional and count points :thumbsup:

I assume control tyres are Schumacher mini spikes in the dry and ballistics in the wet - any compound?

No control tyres at regionals Mikey, you can run what you want, but the tyre to have is either Schumacher yellows (dry) or greens (wet). I've not tried the Fastrax tyre so I can't comment but I suppose if you are running at the 2 dayer then it wouldn't hurt to get your car set up running those if you can get some :thumbsup:

How well do Ballistics work Alec?

I found them really good in the damp

Thinking of coming down to this and running in open class guys what's the postcode

Get down G, postcode is NN128XA

They were ok in the damp when I tried them but I think that Schumacher greens were better overall. I'd bring both with you to try :thumbsup:

Don't want it damp!

Sounds like I'll bring my tyre collection yellow/green/blues for schumacher and BB pink/greens!

Looking forward to coming down tomorrow, just hope the weather is nice and sunny. :thumbsup:

I'm hoping to run in the 4wd class as well, but I need a Durango shell, can I borrow one from anyone?

For those that haven't been here is some help....

Tyres: Fastrax or Schumacher Yellow mini in dry... I have seen Alec go round on Green Schumachers in dry and it looked good. Ballistics also work but again it is preference.

Wet: Fastrax, Ballistic or Schumacher green.... good thing about the Fastrax is they are as good as anything in dry or wet!!!!

Weather: Dry all day!!!

As has already been said there is no food on site, but the Bar will be open around lunch for nice cold drinks. There is also a nice village shop with sandwiches,rolls etc..... and Mcd's is 5 mins down the road!!

Last note!!!!!!

There is a speed limit of 5mph as you drive across the field!!!! Note anyone seen speeding WILL be asked to leave...

Any chance there will be shop there tomorrow,wouldn't mind trying a set of the fastrax on the 4wd

looking forward to tomorrow track looks the business:thumbsup:

Give DMS a ring, spect they may be there (edit: just looked at the entry list, - he's not booked in)

Sorry cannot make this one, I have family commitments :(

Although we have sold quite a few pairs of the Fastrax tyres this week to people coming tommorow who I think plan to test them there also....

Is booking in on the day possible? Would be for guest/4wd.

yep... booking in on day is fine

Looking forward to it. Anyone doing both regional and guest class?

Lew Page says he has one you can borrow matey :thumbsup:

Ace, thanks Lew!

4wd class too then please!

4wd class looks like it is going to be interesting tomorrow:thumbsup:

Indeed, fingers crossed for a dry great days racing

Anyone going tomorrow who will have a spare pair of Cougar front ball cups, the dog leg ones? Happy to buy or replace.

James.
