Lovely pics Jon, but what are those things at the front? Unless my eyes are deceiving me, they look very like a couple of MG's and a TR4.


Oli.
 
There were 350 cars ahead of our Porsche group, we were asked to "keep up with them and don't fall back!" we made an effort to comply.
 
I had no idea there was even going to be a parade lap? But what happened to the E-Type parade? Did that never happen?
 
Oli, yes there were some lovely old British cars up ahead of us (amongst others) - Well they started ahead of us but by the end of the two laps we were somewhat "intermingled" as we seem to have past a number somehow...

James - the funky building is the new pit complex and very fine it looks too.

The parade lap (or rather our inclusion in it after a few years of being un-invited) was a last minute thing on Sunday and only 50 of us lucky early(ish) birds got onto it. The E type parade happened Saturday, they managed around 700 of them apparently. Was almost too many on track as it was less a parade lap and more a recreation of the M25 in the rush hour as they crawled past bumper to bumper.

 
We met one of the Silverstone organisers at breakfast in the Hotel on Monday morning, and according to the count there were 829 E types on track on Saturday. There would probably have been a few more if they hadn't overheated in the traffic jam on the A43.

Asked why this had happened, his response was that attendance on Saturday was unprecedented and he had never seen anything like it before at the Classic. The first day of the school holidays for much of the Country might have been a good clue.!!
