    I missed this completely which is a shame but I just wanted to say that if you are taking children to this event, especially under 7's PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get them some proper ear defenders for the day. We went to the Renault thingy and they had last years F1 car going around Silverstone for a few laps at a time and it was very, very loud. There was lots of little ones that were absolutely terrified and babies that were screaming their heads off. Once there it is too late and other than coming home and it will ruin your day to get all that way and find your kids do not like the noise - so please get them before you go.

    Peltor make some funky fluoresant ones for around £14 and you can buy them online. You can buy cheaper ones but I prefer to know I am getting a good make and you can get cheaper ones on eBay but my kids have had Peltor for about 5 years now - I put them on when they are screaming at me but they do not like that very much!! Does shut out a lot of noise though, it will not make it totally silent but it muffles the noise and they can still hear you clearly if you talk to them close enough.

    I was sad not to get tickets for this event. For the Peugeot event and the Renault World series I gave away spare tickets to other MSE ers. I hate to scrounge, but I'd really appreciate it if anyone who can't go could send me their email. Please PM me if you have any, it's just for myself and my car-mad son aged six.

    Cheers!:beer:
    PM me your email, might be able to help
