MotoGP Silverstone finish time?

Does anybody know what time all the races finish on Sunday? I'm
travelling down to Reading for a course next week and I'll be heading
past the A43 junction which I expect will be pretty busy after the
MotoGP race and also after the 125 race (due to start at 14:30) - is
there anything after that? If not it'll all be well gone by the time I
go past.

Can't even monitor the race day for delays as I'll be watching a Vulcan
fast taxi run.

 

If it's anything like last year at Donington they'll do practice in the
morning, 125s, Moto2 and MotoGP races in that order in the afternoon and
then a couple of ropey support races after the main event to give people
something to watch while the queues build up in the car park.

The TV coverage of the MotoGP race ends around 2.15pm, so expect heavy
traffic from then.

 

125 is last race this year, starting at 14:30. Unless somebody comes up
with times for the support races (there weren't any last time I went,
which was a few years ago, maybe 04) I'll just leave it til the evening.

I did notice the gap when setting up TiVo the other day. Is there an F1
race on or something that clashes?

Finish 01:00, walk to hotel, sink a beer and go to bed

I have a price and it turns out to be, oh, exactly this much.

 

Well, that didn't quite work out as planned.

10:00 wake up.
10:30 attempt to start CBX
10:33 plug optimate in
12:00 still no joy.
13:00 Aha!. Refit seat. Wheel onto drive. Won't start.
13:02 Remove seat re-attach optimate.
13:04 Watch MotoGP
15:00 Watch Kiwis humiliate the Ities.
17:00 take CBX into Essex, to get at least one landmark this weekend.
18:10 Return, resolve to check tyre pressures next time.

At least I was home earlier than expected.

 

Oh, the joys of classic bikes....

 

The joys were manifold on the run to Billericay and back. It really is
nice to ride. Stopping still has to be applied for by post, of course.

Problem is was down to numpty owner not hooking old bike up to
Optimate over the winter. Perhaps I should get a second one, so I can
leave the two old Honda's plugged in while the new one does all the
work.

Anyhoo, saw a CBX in the OC mag, where bloke had dropped in a
Triumph[1] front-end, with the fitting of taper head races with the
external diameter of a CBX and internal diameter to fit the Triumph's
steering stem.

What a gloriously simple solution. I shall make further enquiries.

[1] Hinckley, not Meriden, or earlier.

 

There's one ancient monument I can think of, it doubles as the worlds
greatest medical mystery

 

'snot ackcherly in Billericay, it's in 'utton.

 

No one taking pics of you then?
