British Grand Prix at Silverstone

[Mike Costigan]

If anyone is in attendance tomorrow and can take some decent photos of the drivers' parade in Sevens, I am keen to publish a little piece in the next Grey Mag 

[Tony Griffiths]

Oddly, Mike, it is possible to get some half-decent pictures by photographing the TV screen.

so its F1 drivers in Sevens? or just any drivers in parading Sevens? Which would be a bit of a tautology...

they ought to live stream it at Beaulieu somehow...

[Mike Costigan]

Yes, Jon, it's the F1 drivers in Sevens! I understand the Seven parade is at lunchtime today, Friday, not the Sunday parade, so it may or may not be televised - not that affects me, as I don't have a television!

[Tony Griffiths]

Thanks, Mike, I'll watch it today and, if it happens, try to get some shots. I'm sure that professional photographers there will also be filming. The race-day parade is usually on the back of a lorry with incisive interviews where drivers all say the same thing, "We'll have to wait and see."

David Howe has just advised me the Austin Seven - 20 cars each carrying one of the F1 drivers - parade is on Sunday at 1pm, so that should be covered by the TV broadcast.

[Mike Costigan]

Checking the Channel 4 guide it seems the British Grand Prix coverage doesn't start until 1.30 

[Tony Betts]

Hi mike,

Dont worry, they might still be televised. As much of the pre race, is showing what's already happened over the weekend. Inc practise, and qualifying.

I heard last week this was going ahead, I take it the midlands club were contacted??? Only a guess.

Let hope they represent all 17 years of manufacture, and although we all love saloons. When they are showing drivers to the crowd, I hope they are all open tops

As suggested above, a live feed to beaulieu would be nice, OH and a big screen TV please.

Tony

[Hugh Barnes]

Yes - Sunday at 1pm - confirmed by one of those taking part...

They have to be scrutineered at 10am 'at operating temperature' and will be fitted with a nappie if dropping too much oil!!

Edit: a far wider appeal than the Midlands Club.. and open cars, yes..

[JonE]

I wonder if they will put Hamilton in the Waterski special. (Or indeed, if the drivers get to choose in any way).
