OT: D1 GP comes to Silverstone, UK in October

A bit off topic, but they've not publicised this much that I've seen. There is a D1 GP exhibition match at Silverstone, UK on 2nd October. It's a pre-book only event, no ticket=no entry. If you're interested you can book tickets

here (http://www.silverstone-circuit.co.uk/booktickets/book_tickets_D1.htm)

See you there...

Booked my tickets last Monday.

I got talking to some of the guy promoting the event at last weeks 1000km at Silverstone. They told me Nomura had been over testing the skyline on the national circuit that will be used on the day. They said basically the car was sideways from the bridge half way down the nation circuit straight all the way round Brooklands and Luffield! In 40mins he went through 8 sets of rear tyres!
