Those that were there know we had a great camp at Silverstone in 2008 for the last BC24 with over 500 people staying at the track for the weekend. Last year, being only a six hour race it was admittedly a little quieter but the race is back in 2010 on October 1,2,3. Traditionally an outstanding weekend for weather and possibly the last hot weekend of the year. Hopefully!

So, join us please for an indian summer party at Silverstone. If you’ve not been, the Britcar is the race that Top Gear did back in 2007 in the Pensiton Villas BMW 330d. Silverstone is surprisingly spectacular for night racing as it is bloody dark out there and makes for great spectator viewing especially down at the Abbey grandstands. Once again, premium campers with WRR get to bring their cars in which means getting about the circuit is an absolute cinch! We’re told that there are some 50 entries paid up for the race with perhaps 20+ expected in addition so it should be a good grid.

We will be located in the usual spot right behind the start finsih grandstand making it a 2 minute walk to the pit lane which, true to Britcar style will be open to one and all. Ask nicely and the teams will usually allow you in for a look around.

There will be two levels of camp again at Silverstone. Standard camp will be cheap, basic and located just outside the payline but still very close to Gate 5 for easy ins and outs and you can park your car on your pitch.

The premium camp is located within the payline in a secured compound which will be marshalled 24hrs with only one way in or out and strict wristband only access. This site will have onsite showers and is very close to two toilet blocks and the Bridge cafe and bar. Britcar tell us they are putting something on in that area so we’ll let you know what that is when we find out more. Obviously the paddock bar over in the pit area will be rowdy as usual. Premium campers can bring their cars in and navigate the inner perimeter ring road and the areas within the track itself at will.

Prices are held at the same as the last two years and are for the full weekend so, get yourself up there after work on the Friday and enjoy the qualifying!

Basic Camp: £30 per car (including £5 booking fee (paypal tax!)) which includes camping for up to three people.

Premium Camp: £50 per car (including £5 booking fee as above) and includes camping for up to Four people included in the secure area as well as your car pass.

Ticket prices also include postage for any booked before 15th September. Any booked thereafter will need to be collected at the main gate.

As ever, we will not be particularly strict with space and I will be very happy to arrange group pitches for anyone wanting to book multiple pitches and set up together. Just drop us an email accordingly and we’ll sort it.

Camp will be open from 12pm on Friday 1st October to 6pm on Sunday 3rd.

With just a matter of days before the White Rabbit team descend on La Sarthe we can already feel the excitement building up on what is lined up to be another great event. We have experienced a lot of interest this year in our private campsite with a massive percentage being previous members returning with us for another year. We also welcome all the newbie’s to our Le Mans experience and look forward to your feedback on your experience.

To expand on what we provided last year the WRR private campsite has had a bit more work done and will hopefully be even nicer than last year!

To repeat the success of last year we will again be providing race coverage from within the members lounge in the house and hopefully will be able to put together another film night as last year’s proved such a huge success. From my point of view last year was a great experience as I was sat by the projector on film night and expected to turn around at the end of the film to find half of the crowd had left, to my amazement everyone was still sat firm and to top it off we had a great time launching the many sky lanterns into the warm Le Mans evening.

Over the build up to the race I managed to pop around and say hi to a few of the new members joining us to pop their Le Mans cherry, and it’s safe to say some of you was more excited than a 5 year old at Christmas so I hope to see and chat to more people this year!

This year we are set for a great race, the Diesel LMP1 cars are once again set to be head to head with Audi returning on what’s promised to be a much better package than the R15 of 2009. We also have Aston Martin LMP1 returning to take on the might of the Diesel generation.

Another couple of teams to watch/cheer for are the British teams of Drayson Racing and Beechdean Mansel Racing. From earlier races of 2010 Drayson Racing are showing incredible pace for the Petrol teams and now featuring Emanuelle Pirro who proved at Sebring that since leaving from Audi as a works driver that he still has what it takes to upset the top teams by pulling off what has to be said as some of the best overtaking on the Peugeot that I have ever seen, and yes I did say the Petrol LMP1 overtaking the Mighty fast Peugeot Diesel!!

Further back on the grid we are also seeing a shuffle up on the classes and see new cars racing for the 2010 race such as the FORD GT and BMW M3. Bmw Racing have shown great progress on building a top GT car with hard racing at Leguna Seca with the Flying Lizard racing Porsche to finish in the 2nd place spot just 1 car length behind after 6 hours racing. Also BMW Celebrate a overall victory at the Nurburgring after a hard 24 hours showing they are a force to be reckoned with at Le Mans.

This year we are also granted the pleasure of a complete sports packed weekend with England playing in the World Cup and the Formula 1 race on the Sunday. We understand not everyone will be up for watching the other sport events but we will try to show as much as possible.

From myself I wish you all a great journey down and look forward to another great holiday.
