I may or may no choose to give the Escort an oil change Other than that, it's game on!!

This may already have been asked, but I couldnt find an answer skimming through the thread, are passengers free?

I should be back home (Preston) on Wednesday morning and fancy coming down for the afternoon to spectate, just wondering if I fetch my helmet down with me whether there'll be any chance of blagging a couple of passenger laps round the circuit as I'm booked on there for a trackday a month later.

If not I'll probably travel down anyway as it should be good fun to spectate and maybe meet a few people.

Ta,
