Appreciate that Pete H is a bit busy this weekend, but just wondered if anybody had heard anything about FStudent?
Can't wait - as it is such a wonderful event - but do hope that all the last vestiges of the 'flu are well out of the way by then. Don't want to be "oinking" now do I? (no comments expected!)

All going on as usual. I expected the paperwork out by now but won't hold my breath as the Shell eco stuff only went out coz I took over that task at the last minute. I will chase it next week (more fool me as I feel another job coming my way).
Anyway just turn up on the day you volunteered even if no paperwork.

I've not had anything through the door, but always check on here for the most up to date info, 10tenths knows best!
I'm already getting ready for the event, ordered a new set of probans today, 3 months in the US eating from restaurants and living in a hotel have not been kind to me. I'll role around in the mud before i arrive though, i hate new overalls!
As this will be my first multi day marshalling event, and first time to Silverstone as a marshal, is there anything i need to know?

Only echo what Dave says. It is not a normal meeting in any way shape or form, but is one of the most rewarding few days you'll get. Take time to talk to the students, you never know they could be the F1 & motorsport team managers & engineers of the future.
Just one word of warning, if Capt Mainwaring asks you to get on his open back van & go for a ride......BEWARE 
Ask Dave 
Sadly I can't make this year, date clash with BSB at Mallory, hopefully next year there wont be a clash & I'll be back to help with the set up crew again.

Yup, got mine too (but no pass as mentioned in the letter)
Looking forward to a manic few days, but also watching all that rain forecast - natures own skid pan

Got mine today too - which means I am still invited despite causing grief questioning various plans. My letter doesn't mention a pass but I know there were last minute changes relating to passes. If you have any problems on the day call me on 07802 505588 and I can cause more grief.

Have already spoken to Pete because, although I am now back at work, I'm still suffering th last vestiges of the flu (oink) with a touch of breathlessness (sign to give up the fags?) and not my normal energy levels - so not too much running around for me. I'm hoping to make the practice area my own. Really enjoyed doing it on the Sunday last year - all those "last gasp" attempts..... (suit me then at the moment).
We will be arriving at the circuit at some point on Thursday - hopefully around lunchtime. See you there!

Just to let everyone know - no-one at work has come down with flu in the 3 weeks since I went off sick and have then been back at work. Please do not worry that you are in any "peril" at this weekend's event.

Spoke to Pete yesterday and will turn up on Sunday. Was meant to be at Rockingham but had a change of heart. Never done Formula Student before, so should be fun.
