In short: Great course, terrible weather, awful car-park exit
In full: Wide track made for a great start and gave plenty of space for keeping to a pace.
Fantastic weather in London - warm, sunny and no wind - opened the car door at Silverstone to be met by an icy blast.
Took an hour to get ouyt of the car park!

In short: Fabulous Fun
In full: OK, it helps having a major sponsor on board, but for me this is what it's all about. A low cost race, perfectly organised, on an interesting course. Silverstone isn't the most picturesque place, but if you love your F1 it's magic.
The course is undulating rather than hilly, but it's very exposed, so expect a hefty wind (both tail and head!)
All in all, a great day out

In short: Great day as always and well organised.
In full: 2nd year there. Enjoyed the day, pity about the wind! Didn't take as long to get out of the car park as it did last year. Great for a PB - smashed my last year's time by 16 minutes, so chuffed with that. Very well organised.

In short: Why XL T shirts?!!! Mine will go straight in the charity bag as will the majority of others no doubt. Well organised race. Great for beginners.

In short: Fast and windy!
In full: Good for beginners, plenty of space to run and flat enough to get a fast time. Very windy, no problems with parking, good organisation.

In short: Well organised but course rather boring
In full: entry and exit of car parking area very well organised. Found the course rather boring. Please note not every one is XL so I will not be wearing the T shirt as I`m only small!!!!!!! Refreshments overpriced.
