FOTA Fan Forum 26 June

Hi

Just wondering if anyone else is attending? Thats all

Ooo didn't know it was being held in London. I've registered on it just now.

I've also registered so if I'm on luck I'd be more than happy to meet up with a few of you.

Same here. I'm glad you brought this up - I would've been annoyed if it had happened in London without me realising. I've just registered. How do they decide who gets the tickets?

Sorry, maybe I should have posted earlier! I registered a few weeks ago and got an email on friday. It might be first come first served?

Well you can still register right now so I've no idea how it works.

Good stuff guys. Maybe we can organise a meet up via that on the day. Be good to put faces to names!

Me too. Should be good.

I was at the one at Barcelona in February, it was a fun night (despite some language difficulties that night). Also, after the Forum, stick around and you can usuall get a few photos/autographs or chat with the panellists.

Thanks for the tip Ed!

Any idea on how long it usually lasts because I face a long ass underground journey back home afterwards.

The forum was about one hour I believe, and then the panellists stayed around for maybe 15/20 minutes at least. Allison got about 1000 questions about how can i get a job haha

Haha who knew he'd be leaving his job

It's been confirmed that Bottas, Ricciardo and Chilton will be the drivers in attendance tomorrow.

Martin Brundle will also be there as well as Sam Michael, Claire Williams and Graham Lowdon representing Mclaren, Williams and Marussia respectively.

Should be a cracking night.

Here's where I sneak up and say that I got a ticket, too. Thoroughly enjoyed it! It's surprising, because it's only an interview but you feel like you're right in the middle of the F1 world with an event like this. I wasn't going to ask a question at first, but I thought "sod it" and I managed to get one in to the team bosses. I'm glad I did now. (And to wrap it all up, I had a KFC straight afterwards. Doesn't get much better than that!)

Wait who were you? What was the question you asked?

I ended up putting my hand up many times but Jenny Gow seemed to just fly over . Spoke a little to Martin Brundle too, unfortunately I got too starstruck and came out with the blandest question of "excited for silverstone?". I still regret that moment

I was the one who asked about qualifying, where some drivers don't push 100%, what would they do to remedy it. I was so caught in the moment, though, that I didn't actually listen to anything they said!

I'm with you on the whole starstruck thing. I had that when I went to Silverstone a few years ago... I was going to talk to Johnny Herbert, but ended up just standing next to him and posing for a photo that he didn't even know about!

I can't even remember that question now and I can't place your face! Seems so long ago.

Either way, if you saw a guy in a blue shirt with huge-ish sideburns that was me
