Silverstone Classic

160 mile round trip to this event, part cross country but mostly M40 and dual carriageway. Calibrated by GPS, motorway speed around 63-65 @3500 rpm seems to be a reasonable compromise between making progress and liiting noise and vibration levels. Unfortuately the worst NVH is between 3000 and 3500, 54-62mph. 

Hot weather and an hour of start / stop traffic entering the circuit meant that the engine temperature was getting far too high. So, heater on, fan on high, which just contained the engine temperature but cooked the occupants! I have a quote from Kenlowe for an auxiliary cooling fan.... maybe it's a good idea? 

The event itself was good. Great to see old F1, classic touring and sports cars being driven hard. Also loads of old sports cars in the car club displays. 

Silverstone itself is a bit tatty, and they had only opened a couple of grandstands. Refreshment options were severely limited too, with sky high prices.
