Silverstone Classic

Rumours on the PCGB forum that they may have the PCGB national event at the Silverstone classic in 2007

I know we have discussed having a big DDK meet at Silverstone classic too.

Looks like it could be a great big Porsche party

I'm booking it into my diary. Lets hope we can have some Classic Lemans style DDK camping close by

I think there was camping and a disco

Dig that funky beat, Daddio.

Sounds cool: like the idea of another DDK camp-out, still impressed with the quality of the in-house catering at Le-Mans

. (I left thinking I must do better

I plan on being there, camping wherever the DDK'ers are

I've never had such a larf as CLM and the thought of a DDK Silverstone Classic gathering is just enough to lift the post CLM blues (which I'm still suffering with

)

sounds like a plan...

Count me in. Silverstone hasn't really got the same vibe or Porsche heritage as Le Mans but it was still really good. Thanks to Mike and Phil there was a DDk presence overnight. I'm sure we could get the campsite to set us aside a patch. Toilets aren't as nice as Le Mans though!

What with no CLM next year this has to be a biggy.

we could as a club chip in to hire our own..

But as Silverstone is just up the road from our other house I think I might be poping back to borrow the shower and facility's

Yep the toliets were crap . . . . . (unless you walked up to the main building). They were the old blue water, building site type with no light.

Porsche is the specialist marque for the event next year (as Aston was this year). I'd not heard that PCGB are using it for the National event, but makes sense to me. Not sure who you'd have to contact at Silverstone, but there's nothing I can see stopping DDK from having their own area (i.e. it's a truely public event, unlike Brands Hatch).

Sounds perfect. I presume the 'god of light and fire' will be on hand with his Lemongina candles?
