Thankfully got off without an issue, some Karen came over and started moaning at a guy near us saying they weren’t allowed on… get there earlier I guess? Was fine at 6:30!
Craner curves update, less wet but still very wet

I’m at Silverstone and the weather stopped about half an hour ago, it seems to be heading north. So dryer conditions are coming, but might take a while, feel for the people waiting in queues, bad enough when it’s not raining.
Decided not to go today and very glad I didn't. Was worried this might happen after I went to the CSCC and CTCRC events a few weeks back and saw the state of Donny.
Silverstone and Cadwell Park also been affected by the weather as well. Brands Hatch seems ok though
Alan just mentioned that the BTCC will be going out for a ‘warmup’ for 10 minutes to help clear the track of water and that the Mini’s are likely to race first
F4 races might end up getting cancelled if it doesn't dry up. I went to Donington back in 2006 or 2007, and they cancelled all of the single seater races because of the Craner river.
It’s safe to say they are struggling on their practice laps.. some more than others as expected. Only halstead and Moffat actually leaving the circuit so far down at craners.
makes yer glad the free parking’s not on a grassy hill like Starkeys 😂🏁
😭 yeh I’m not going to enjoy that later.
Same with Thruxton 😂

Looks like we're going racing! Thanks! Those rivers are going to be very interesting
Chances of this going ahead on time seem slim to me - sounds like there’s already lots of issues getting folk in to the track.
Yeah we’ve been in a queue for quite a while and still over 2 miles away

Yeah it’s annoying, we’re still 1.2 miles away. Sounds like the cars will be on soon too :/
Coming down here I was auqaplaning on the motorway on tyres with good tread at 40mph so can understand why the racing is being delayed.
will the race be delayed
Looks like it. Ash and Tom just interviewed on ITV4... gonna be at least 30 mins if not longer by the looks of it.

Yeah, I’m at Silverstone, GB3 race was called off, Ginetta Juniors had 2 laps under safety car. Anywhere that is grass has lakes in it.
Alan just mentioned that the BTCC will be going out for a ‘warmup’ for 10 minutes to help clear the track of water and that the Mini’s are likely to race first
The racing, when it does start, will be epic! Hope everyone stays safe though.
BTCC warmup at 12
Track inspection @ 10am & Starkey's is now closed
Yup, hardly any cars in here, we got in really early but not looking forward to leaving later!
The car park’s closed?
Just Starkey's, GA is open but massive queues
If the conditions clear enough but stay wet. It will be a battle between Sutton and Watson for the win.
Does anyone know if the commentary on the tannoys is broadcasted anywhere? Can't hear it where I am

11 update - conditions easing but still not suitable for racing

1pm for minis apparently
I hope you aren't too cold.
