I was flying over Silverstone the other day and was horrified to see cars being driven at ridiculously dangerous speeds, well in excess of the national speed limit and only a matter of feet away from crowds of people!

Literally only a few feet away! How irresponsible! Who do these people think they are?

They were hurtling into bends, with the public standing only a few feet away and they didn’t even have any tread on their tyres! My god, what are they playing at?!!

I have seen so much TV coverage in the past and the majority of it shows these cars crashing all the time. Some regularly launching wheels and other heavy body/engine/gearbox parts into the crowds!

Don’t the organisers of such activities know how dangerous that is?

I have a mind to write to someone and let them know how I feel!

Sheer stupidity!! Completely irresponsible if you ask me!





Oh, they were practising for some future event were they? And it was to increase the margins of safety was it? To make them aware of what to expect when they are hurtling round at high speeds in those conditions was it?

I see....








Sounds rather familiar doesn’t it!!
