Ah, and greetings and respect to you and your esteemed team, your royal P-ness!

Just stumbled across this. A timely reminder about the difference in closing speeds that we all need to be ready for

Wooo. I guess we have to be ultra careful in the mirrors before we move away from 'normal' line. If we stick to that rule we should be OK yeah?

Yikes! Fortunately, Metcheck.com has only light rain followed by showers...

Whatever, looks like waterproofs for me and my camera will be the order of the day. Either that or a lot of photos from inside garages 3A, B and C :roll:

Not what it says here: http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Racing/ ... spx?sday=2

However having lived within 6 miles of Silverstone for 22 of my 29 years (and worked there for 6 years) I can say that the weather forecast is as good as useless and it will just do at Silverstone whatever it wants to!
