FIA GT Southerners cruse
Discussion
My usual route would be to zig zag x-country to high Wycombe then up the M40, but its not much extra to go M4 then A34.so I don’t mind that route provided its not full of roadwork’s and traffic jams. Not been that way for a while though but on Map point it looks as if there is a service area at J13 M4 A34 where we could meet.
Phil how do you feel about M25 – M3 (pick us up at J3) through Bracknell – M4. Meet the others at the M4 A34 junction. Then up the A34 and maybe pick up the corvette lot at Cherwell if they are doing the same this year as last. We’d have to prize them away from costas though. (guess they need the caffeine for a kick)

Sounds like a plan!
Rob is only a couple of miles from me, so hopefully we can get together down here, and meet up with Steve Kingshott (Assuming he is still coming), then head on up and meet Dave & Phil further up at the A34/M4, I'm pretty sure there is a service station somewhere there, as you said Dave.

What time do you want to aim to get there Dave, and what time should we aim to meet up?
I'm not sure how long it will take to get to the M4/A34 from down here so we'll need to try and plan that from our end once we have a time to meet. (I haven't got my tickets yet, but I believe Paul is away at the moment so I will hopefully get them in the next few days).
I spoke to Steve Kingshott the other night, he will be travelling up separately, so it will just be Rob & I from down here

Map point has Silverstone at 50 minutes from the M4/A34 services so I guess if we are aiming for 10:00 arrival the same as the northerners and without stopping at Cherwell then we need to be leaving the services at about 9:00.
Map point puts the end of the M3 35 minutes south of the services so you need to be leaving Southampton around 8:15.
We are about 40 minutes from the services so Phil we need to meet at the M3 junction about 8:10.
If we want to make it a bit earlier so we can catch the GT4 I don’t mind but that may make a rather early start for Phil

They would like us on site by 10:30 at the very latest thought the other lot would get there 10:00.
We are an attraction.

Paul. Do we need a parking permit/centre pass? Last year we had a sticker for the windscreen to get into the centre.
Ps welcome back and did you have a nice hol
