Minardi fan · 30 Dec 2001, 14:49 (Ref:191487)

January 22, 23, 24
February 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20

Right, so who's coming to the January test then?!?!

(And, following Bella's subtle hint about Oulton, I'd like to point out that August 21st is testing...)

Speedworx · 31 Dec 2001, 18:37 (Ref:192058)

Does it cost anything to go watch testing?

If it doesn't, than I might go.

Carrie · 31 Dec 2001, 18:49 (Ref:192065)

Entry to testing is free, however, viewing is limitied. Usually you only have access to the Luffield terracing.
MFan, do we have here the proof that you've finally cracked? Testing in January!!!!! Brrrrrrrr (now where did the shivery smiley go)

Speedworx · 31 Dec 2001, 19:04 (Ref:192073)

It may be cold, but who cares, you get to see F1 cars.

If I go, it will be first ever I see them on a race track.

**Craig** · 31 Dec 2001, 19:35 (Ref:192087)

Thanks but, erm, no thanks...

Seeeeee, I told you I was insane!!!!!

I shall be there, wrapped in about ten layers of clothing. Marrrrvellous!

P.S The rumour is that Minardi are testing Saelens at Silverstone on those three days...

badoer fan · 2 Jan 2002, 09:33 (Ref:192600)

NO. WAY.

Speedworx · 2 Jan 2002, 19:11 (Ref:192841)

I'll join you.

woodyracing · 3 Jan 2002, 01:25 (Ref:193065)

id go a bit later in the season

BAR Babe · 3 Jan 2002, 23:24 (Ref:193559)

You know MY answer.

Thermals and alot of layers later.....
I'll still be freezing but will be a serenely happy bunny.

Minardi fan · 4 Jan 2002, 00:10 (Ref:193565)

Excellent!!!

**bella** · 4 Jan 2002, 19:33 (Ref:193941)

grumble. much as i would love to come and freeze my arse off at a cold silverstone, school won't let me scab out of lessons barring some majorly good excuse. sadly, f1 testing is not one of them (i know i did it in september, but that was different....).

any of them collide with half term or easter hols? anyone know? god, i have to do everything round here....

Speedworx · 4 Jan 2002, 19:40 (Ref:193945)

I can't wait. I have never seen F1 cars on a race track.

**bella** · 4 Jan 2002, 19:54 (Ref:193960)

it's just like watching the cars at a race, all you have to do is just imagine they're racing each other. they're still going round and stuff...

and on a hot summers day, there's nothing better than sitting at testing slowly frazzling....

Speedworx · 4 Jan 2002, 20:51 (Ref:194001)

Nice.

Make the most of the free testing seasons - There is talk that they will start charging people to get into the circuit then again to watch. - It's starting to be like the GP itself.

Talking to a friend yesterday he has found that excluding petrol he can go and watch the Spainsh GP on race day - standard ticket £35.00
Plus the tunnel costs... Come on England

Chris Y · 5 Jan 2002, 13:19 (Ref:194296)

One of the advantages of F1 testing of course is that you actually get to see overtaking

Don't forget to balance a Twix on your head..

SILVERS95 · 5 Jan 2002, 15:51 (Ref:194363)

How can they start charging admission for test days......if thats true .its so out of order !

No, they're usually in your car, love.

(Along with half of Tesco's booze department.)

Wahey! Does this mean the Ten-Tenths Twix cap will be returning?!?!

WoodyTJ · 7 Jan 2002, 18:06 (Ref:194999)

Jaffa Cakes, yummmmm!

Guess what I did - book stupid meetings on the testing dates in January

Any ideas on who is going to be there?

On a good note, February is currently free of meetings

Speedworx · 7 Jan 2002, 20:17 (Ref:195092)

I'm going to the January tests.

BAR Babe · 8 Jan 2002, 11:28 (Ref:195392)

WoodyTJ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Babes!!!

Jordan will definitely be there. know that for certain. They are booked for all three days.

Mclaren, Jaguar, Sauber and BAR are booked elsewhere during the test at silverstone so WILL NOT be there.
Apart from that cannot help any further.

Missing you truckloads,
See you at autosprout
