Silverstone countdown: get familiar with the tracks so you can work out where you would like to be on certain days. I think the people I am going with will know better than me, but it’s still fun to watch the speeds. In the meantime, keep an eye on the weather at the Silverstone circuit, though I have seen conflicting reports from different sources. Sun? Showers? A year ago tomorrow, we were watching them race around the streets of London. Somehow, that would have been much more convenient, don’t you think?

On this day…
