I've had to break out the fluffy thermal socks. It's 
here. And blowing a hoolie.
Feels distinctly autumnal.

So it'll be persisting it down on Sunday.
The forecast for the BTCC meeting at Knockhill is similarly dire.
Having said that, Silverstone in the peeing rain is not a pleasant place. A certain 24 hour Britcar race sticks in the memory some dozen or so years down the line...

I don't think any race circuit in the rain is much fun especially since I got rid of the motorbike and more importantly the full-face helmet. Mind you they're not much fun in blazing sun either, I clearly remember a T-shirtless sunny day at Mallory Park with Binoculars round my neck. Straplines on women are bad enough but on me.......................not a good look.

indeed...I have been seen wading knee deeper in the paddock at Snetterton when it's been flooded. One year, when I was covering a 24 hour 2CV race for Autosport, the weather (in June) was particularly vile. I was rescued by Alan Hyde and allowed to dry out next to the heater in the commentary box. By then, it was the only working heater in the entire pit lane, and I was eternally grateful.

The 'Plum Pudding' at Mallory can be a bit iffy.

I've heard about the Plum Pudding meeting from those of my friends who like to wear orange romper suits at weekends.

I'd say half of the competitors have not recovered from Christmas day, the rest are half pished especially the Sidecar crews.I've heard about the Plum Pudding meeting from those of my friends who like to wear orange romper suits at weekends.

Yeah, well, about par for course, I'd say...
