Last year it was wonderful to be able to sit down in the shade/dry and have a cup of coffee during the day.

The weather forecast for next weekend is currently very hot (27/28 degrees) but with thunderstorms late on the Friday and Saturday, so I'm hoping that the parade lap doesn't get cancelled again.
Is this BMW Car Club or BMW UK? As I read that they have areas to relax for BMW owners, just show your fob. You can also show your fob to get 'fast track' access to the BMW Wheel. I assume people will know what that is.

Also

The premium automotive manufacturer will be showcasing the new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer which goes on sale later this year. In recognition of its status as a car for a great family day out, BMW will host a ‘Picnic Spot’ for you to enjoy a picnic lunch, with an ice cream bar serving a range of delicious flavours.

BMW will be helping you make the most of your visit to the Silverstone Classic. The 40m high BMW Wheel will be returning this year, with free rides for all visitors and amazing views over the venue and race track.

For the more active, BMW will also be providing a free bike hire service so you can explore the site on two wheels as well. And with a screen showing live footage of the races in the Picnic Spot, you can rest assured that you won’t miss out on any of the action.

For BMW and MINI drivers there is a dedicated BMW Owner’s Car Park; simply follow the signs once you arrive at Silverstone. And by showing your key fob, BMW and MINI owners can also gain fast track entry onto the BMW Wheel.

Anyone for a bike ride???

Hope the weathers good too Luke, I've been checking the MET office and it's advising 25 degrees Friday and Saturday with some cloud cover but advising 22 degrees and thunder storms on Sunday but they had initially forecast rain for Friday and Saturday a couple of days ago so here's hoping it's wrong.

Mind your sun lotion folks :thumbsup:

Are we doing car window information again this year?

This was mine from last year. I have just updated it and printed another off.

For some reason, I read that as 18 inch Saturday, and thought "new wheels, or Luke's bragging...."
