Pure Mclaren day at Silverstone!

[moon_dust]

Hi All

Anyone on here go yesterday?

I was there in an Orange 600LT, fantastic day, well run and the Macca crowd staff and owners i met couldnt of been a nicer bunch.

Great food, drink, Solus laps and plenty of track time as well (Bit slippy early on mind!! - those who went out first would have all had a bit of a swapper on lol)

I sat behind a 750s at one stage watching it squirm for traction at over 100mph which was a sight to behold!

Not to mention following another 600LT and watching the heat plumes pumping a haze from those top exits pipes!

Top top day and worth every penny!

Yes, I was there. Blue 750 spider. All good fun until I ran out of front brake pads and had to tiptoe home early. Apparently there was a goody bag I missed on departure - is it worth chasing up?

Hi Mate i think i spotted that

Yes it was a bag with a cap and a poster - (Nice enough but nothing to bother chasing really)

If your local to Bromley i have a spare i picked up your welcome to!

Someone's posted a fab photo on MoC from the day of a blue 750 spider with the front brake discs glowing like the surface of the sun. Epic!

Can you grab it for me? MoC is Facebook, and I don't do Meta, so am no longer even a member.

I imagine the discs were quite warm; I did a set of front pads in less than 200 track miles that day.

Thanks for the offer - wrong end of London. Will see if my dealer can get one.

Well worth the ruined brake pads

[964Cup]

Mine


Not mine, sadly

Were they taking people out in the Solus?

I understand it's a single seater, so I guess not? Unless they let some of their most special customers drive it themselves?


Great pics btw

I saw the winners of the Artura trophy got to drive it as part of their prize. Not sure if anyone else did.
