For those desirous of aural stimulation, I recommend 2:30 onwards

Have to agree - great piece of negotiation Miles, well done! I'm sure you'll be first in line for the marshalling duties again next year too

Same thoughts as Robert - there were dozens of us there, and it's incredible hard to work out who is who... Would have liked to have met more people, and been able to chat longer with the people I did meet.

An edited version of my lap - the interesting bit is obviously Sir Stirling Moss and Alfieri Maserati just behind him....

A great day had by all, thanks Miles you did us all proud mate..!! I missed bumping in to loads of people I have not yet met and wanted to, next time we will all have to wear our name tags with the SMF handle in bold letters..!!

Her here, I second all of that...

Excellent couple of days at Silverstone, even worth the torturous queues on Friday on the M6 which threatened to spoil the run down from up North. No doubt most in attendance will have checked already but, if not, the official "club car entry photos" are now online. Quite a few pages to scroll through but you will find yourself eventually….

Sooooo wish I could have been there. Great vids of the parade. How cool to have Stirling Moss drive past in a 250F? Priceless! Regular customer and friend Richard Postins was tooling around in his ex Euro Touring Car Rover SDI over the weekend too.

Yes I saw him race and the car up close, good class with some very nice classics in!

A crowd of 94,000 flocked to Silverstone – the biggest in the award-winning Classic’s 24-year history – and they were treated to 24 on-track grids featuring no fewer than 1,125 entries which covered the full spectrum of motor racing history. The unprecedented number of entries tops last year’s figure of 1,113 and establishes yet another new global benchmark for any motor sport event.
