Did anyone else have the problem of not buying a program?? Me and my dad searched long and hard to find one but then we got one from the Seat tent. They gave us it free which was good.
How was the racing 2day? Did Farmer win in the March, and who won the Group C races?

yup. Same here! couldn't find one anywhere.
Not even the paddock shop sold them!

Glad I'm not alone or I would have felt stupid.

I've been going to motor-racing in the UK for 8 years now and I have been to 35 race meeting, including yesterday, Mostly for the entire weekend.

This is the first event that I don't have a program for!!!

The Seat people were giving them away free. Both Group C races were won by Gary Pearson, Nick Adams in the Spice second and the Aston Martin was third both times.

Got free program as soon as we walked in, just after the car park.

Got sunburn as well.

Same here, never saw a programme except in someone else's mitts...maybe they were at the outer car park entry points? (I parked with the other TVRs behind pit straight grandstand). Get this trouble at Donington, too. however, with my trusty PH timetable printout at least I know what race is when, even if I don't know who's in them!!

Only managed to get my programme from the Seat tent in the paddock after a tip-off from RichB.

Still, racing and company were good. Nice to meet you again Caro - hope you saw the Caterhams; MST confirms that they were posting the same times as the Tuscans, even on a power circuit like Silverstone GP.

I think the problem was that the race programme was sponsored/put together by the Seat people.

Due to the sheer size of the Seat 'indoor paddock' (i.e. tent) it had to be located a long way back from the normal paddock. The Seat promo gils handing out the programmes were not around the main paddock very much. Which was a shame, as they were very aesthetically pleasing

Yes Jeremy, made a point of seeing the Caterhams, as always , but due p'raps to the lap one incident they were a bit more strung out than usual...still, they soon got a four car train going, swapping positions each lap. It's amazing how fast they can lap, but when you see the way they whizz sideways through Luffield you begin to see why!

One of the Insane mechanics commented that the cat suits 'weren't see through enough'...
