F1 Test Day

[Desmo]

Anyone know what goes down on these days and who turns up?
I've just won a competition with the Reve Redbull British Superbike team for a hospitality day out at Silverstone on Tuesday to watch the F1 testing going on there.

Is this a public day or is it normally behind closed doors.
And who the hell turns up. All the teams or only some?
And what about the drivers? Will it be the racers or just some testing muppet?

Not that I really care cos I'm not into F1 much. Get to spend the day with the superbike boys though :E

Mind you, I've never heard an F1 motor with my own ears driven in anger yet so should be a pretty awsome day out.
I'll let ya know how it went.

Testing is usually just 1 team, you might get the usual drivers but most likely some test driver from Formula granny looking to make it into F1. You never know might be McLaren testing there launch control :laugh:

Got more info through the post today.
Having lunch with Johnny Herbert who is testing there with Arrows and Nick Heidfeld who is with Sauber.

But the best bit is John Reynolds being with us all day.
For those of you that don't know, he races a Redbull Ducati in the British Superbikes.
His bike looks a bit like mine :E

Or should that be mine looks a bit like his. :)

I'm gonna take the tank off my bike and get him to sign it for me :E

Whoop, another biker :)

Reynolds is my hero, ive watched his career since 92 when he won the BSB on a ZXR750K. In only his second full season of racing :)

I saw a ZXR750K (single seat version) for sale in Autotrader for 4000 quid, it was mint, god I was tempted to swap it for my blade, just to have something a little bit different. My last bike was a ZXR750J2, so a the ZXR750K would of matched me leather just nicely, which my blade dosent at all :[

Im rambling...Energize Mr Scott
