This touring idea grew out of a Facebook discussion amongst a bunch of us who worked on F1 teams back in the day, they're all people I know and the stories will be great, many of them quite funny but also very revealing. The plan is to do a number of these but if you're within reach of Redditch in Worcs then I highly recommend this. 

 

There'll be stories but you can also ask questions and find out more about how F1 worked back then, leading of course to what we have today.

 

Full info can be found and tickets bought at this link - enjoy!

 

**I'm on the other side of the world & not making any money from this recommendation (at the ticket price my friends won't be making much either). Just recommending something that I think many will enjoy.

Looks like a great evening. Hopefully they'll be an event in the South.

I went to Redditch once.  It was shut.

I went past Redditch last year and they'd changed the road numbers.

 

"! once went to Philadelphia....but it was closed. W. C. Fields" 

I actually once lived in Philadelphia...but it was still closed.

They intend to do more but I think they also want to see how this first one goes.

I spent a year in Redditch* once. It was a Tuesday.

Don't know what you guys have against Redditch but I seem to recall getting trapped on a ring road there...
