The F1 event of the year?

Something new arrived on my desk the other day - a Formula 1 event in London!  Well not strictly F1 but a celebration of all things Williams F1, in fact 30 years of Grand Racing.

The great and the good of Williams history will be in attendance - including current drivers Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima, together with past drivers includign Damon Hill.

Entertainment will come from host for the evening, and motor racing devotee Rory Bremner, whilst there will also be a Charity Auction of priceless memorabilia and an after-dinner concert from global star, Jamie Cullum.

The event takes place on 20th November 2008 at Old Billingsgate in London.

Prices from £499 per person, plus VAT

LMS Silverstone 1000Km

WOW!  What a way to finish the 2008 Le Mans Series season!  What with Peugeot and Audi taking each other off at various stages - and I'm making no judgements on who's fault the first corner was - and battles all the way down the field, guests on Sunday 14th September were treated to an awesome spectacle.

Reports say that 53000 spectators were at Silverstone to see Audi snatch the coveted title from under Peugeot's noses.

Congrats then go to race winners Rinaldo Capello and Allan McNish - and to team mates Mike Rockenfeller and Alexandre Premat who took the championship.

Also to Rob Bell - champion for the 2nd time in the Virgo motorsport Ferrari F430.  Even more incredible, Virgo apparently is a 3 (full time) man team!

Donington saga continues

Interesting news coming from the 'new' home of the British Grand Prix - yes we know Donington has a contract from 2010 but with their Chief Operating Officer stepping down (and he was a founding partner in the company that runs Donington) one wonders what's going on. See the Autosport article for more information. Most of interest are the last 3 paragraphs, including the quote "If there is no Donington there is no British GP" from a certain Mr B Ecclestone.

At the same time, they have released details about the new track plan and pit location (again see Autosport) but with only around 18 months to get this passed the planners and built I remain extremely sceptical about the prospects for a home race for many of the teams.

Hospitality update... Silverstone

With just over a week until the Le Mans Series descends on Silverstone, we still have a handful of places left within out Paddock Suites, overlooking the pit lane.

Big news of the week however is the release of prices by Silverstone for Vale, Copse and Brooklands facilities for the 2009 British Grand Prix (provisionally scheduled for the weekend of the 19th-21st June 2009).

As we thought, being as it's the last British Grand Prix at Silverstone, prices are up and full details are yet to be confirmed but we're going to be there in some style and we're sure you will want to be too!

Check out our event page for details of the prices for each facility.
