I have been on the list for a while and moved a bit, though I am not seeing myself going up anymore as we are very close to the weekend. Unfortunately you won't be able to park with us, but you could be cheeky and park elsewhere in Silverstone (outside the circuit) and walk in. Or one of us could come and pick you up if there's a spare seat going! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanko25 70 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Cheers for the answers guys! I will keep my eye on the list and if decide to come even not on the top 500 I will give you a shout! @TTR hopefully your car won't be too loud for the track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll find there are lots of drop outs closer to the time though (I.e. Thursday / Friday). If you aren't in the 500 you won't receive the badge you need to display for entry. Do you just receive the badge in an email then print it off before hand? 1 TTR reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey P 32 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 If anyone is looking for track time for this I would be willing to sell my 9.00am track season as the moris cheap track insurance isn't happening for this any longer. (So will now need a whole days cove for 30 minutes which seems excessive), let me know cost £43 but would sell for £30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HariboPenguin 116 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 I'm also looking to sell my track time (10:45am Novice Session) due to the cheap insurance promise no longer happening. I'd like to get my original £40 back if possible but open to offers. Also they have said that those with track time booked don't need to be part of the 500 on the signup page now so if anybody hasn't made the cut yet and also wants some track time this is perfect.

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 2, 2017 I must admit, not doing the track session is sensible. There is no way I'd go on track with a load of billies who haven't got a clue what they are doing. If you want to go on track, do a track day. Much better option. 1 Paul reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHSS is less full/generally free of your usual Trax/Japfest asshats, especially the novice sessions. Only seen one incident on a PHSS track session and that was a few years ago where a gentleman spun his 911 into the national pits wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 2, 2017 Fair enough, but no way I'd do it. The trouble is if I went out in the advanced sessions, I'd bet there will be a load of billies in that session who massively overestimate their ability. Choices and all that, but rather you than me. Just do it properly and do a track day. It's for the same reason I don't go on track at events like Japfest, unless we have an allocated session for the club.

I was out in a passenger ride in an intermediate session and it wasn't a mess at all. There tend to be a few high value cars about too, so people keep it sensible so they don't end up writing off an £80,000 exotic. I completely get your reservations though (just have to look at what happened at Trax last year) but PHSS is a different kind of car enthusiast. Also you can't really argue with £40 to just give your car a shakedown for track season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

National is a great test of brake feel for me. Especially Brooklands and Copse, really eager to see the feedback through the pedal carrying the brakes through there.
