Javelin TD @ Silverstone GP....
Discussion
Just seen Javelin have a TD at Silverstone GP for £349 end of April which seems an excellent price for the GP circuit that time of year. Done it once before with W2R in August and had a great day, wasn't fully booked, not loads of cars, few race cars but plenty of space on track. Was expensive at around £500 though didn't mind paying that for a well organised day.
I've never used Javelin before but heard good things....will this price at that time of year be full of race cars testing and general likely-ness of let's say....bad manners on track? Really want to go for it but worried it'll be a bit chaotic potentially, especially with some of the speeds possible there.
Appreciate any opinions...

How long is a piece of string?

I’ve had mostly good Javelin days, and a couple of very bad ones.
My experience is similar. Fortunately the layout of the GP circuit makes it less of a problem than bad behaviour at some other tracks. AWZ4 said:

Indeed! I suppose my question is more are Javelin a good TDO in real world experience dealing with poor driving and managing the day in general? Like I say, never used them before.Of course there will always be a "loose cannon" when you look at the throughput of drivers, but generally, as a TDO, they are as good as you get, if not better!
I like them, at Combe last September someone from Javelin walked around the paddock asking people what sort of day they were having, any issues with numbers on track etc. It was a nice touch I thought. No idea if it’s a regular occurrence or a one off.
Ultimately it’s about the drivers and as you say, whether anyone uses it as a test day for their race car, but I don’t think that many championships use the GP circuit so you may be lucky and just find it’s fast car owners turning up. I’d do it if I had something faster but the MX5 would be too slow and I’d be forever watching the mirrors
