Silverstone testing this week

does anyone know which teams are likely to be testing this week? i know Jordan will be for at least Tuesday as they test Anthony Davidson.

also does anyone know what time is best to get there? which day? and any other advice from people who have visited a test day.

i've never seen F1 in the flesh and can't wait to feel my eardrums bursting.


Thanks for any help.

Your going to absolutely love it


I hope the majority of the teams are there for you, it will be a special day that you'll never tire of telling your mates about

i'm not sure how many teams are going, but i would imagine it's more than jordan.... but even if it's jordan on their own, it's still worth going just to see (well, hear), and F1 car for real.

TAKE SOME EARPLUGS!!

i was wanting to go this week but other things have got in the way

---

im going one day, either tuesday or wednesday but looking more likley tuesday atm. ive read on pitpass that williams will also be there.

---

i know jordan will def be there cos davidson has his test on tuesday!

I might be going silverstone testing on wednesday then arsenal V FC thun that night......wot a day :D

----------------------------------------------------------------------

btw is it the same as usual? you knwo free entry and viewing from abbey through to luffield??

all the teams are there it the last big test of the year,

i am going on wednesday

@ - bestobritish - yep

@ - marcl - you sure? wouldnt ferrari be at their own test track and also theres a test a jerez

---

im pretty sure BAR are in spain, i think thats what davidson said in an interview when talking about his jordan test on crash.net

----------------------------------------------------------------------

im going tuesday and wednesday...

normally id be glad to miss school but im in yr. 9 now and dont really want to miss much.

why dont teams announce where they are going to be testing more openly? surely its good that fans get to see them run and they cant really get an advantage can they?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

yeah there's a Jerez test the same days as Silverstone, as far as I know at Silverstone will be Jordan, Williams and probably RBR.

what time do they normally get started and do u reckon teams will still be there on thursday?

apparently heidfeld was supposed to have a test on thursday, but cos of his 'injury' he wont be testing, and it might be Nico Rosberg testing, which would be good.

i think it starts about 9-10am n its Rosberg and Pizzonia testing for williams

----------------------------------------------------------------------

i went today twas good
reanult, mclaren, redbull, toyota and jordan were there, alonso and the mclarens(alex and pedro) were loooking very good. i would have been better if we were allowed in the pit lane but you need some pink ticket which we didnt have. i'll post some pics later if anyone wants some although i dont think they are great as my camera sux

---

aprently toyota and mclaren were running V8s, how did they sound??

----------------------------------------------------------------------

yeh pedro and panis were running v8's, they sounded different, hard to explain tho

---

i havent been able to go to tests yet as i was waiting to see if my mate could go with me, but he now cant. so it will have to be tomorrow and on me tod if i go.

but tomorrows forcast is for rain. do u reckon there'll be that much goin on if it does rain?

I went along today, was good

Not too much Williams action though unfortunately

awesome pics!!

i so wanna go now.

but will it be worth it if its raining? and its supposed to be heavy rain too, so the teams will probably not do much running.

where do u go when u get there too? ive never been.

and is it definitly free.
