My first GNR and staying miles away due last minute booking (even though I knew it would be busy). Still - it's mega cheeeep. From the descriptions I've read on here it sounds more like a queue at a Disney theme park than a race! Looking forward to it all the same. MrB is doing it too - he's in pen G. whispers they've given me pen C

HayleyB Sep 2008 5:31pm, 3 Sep 2008 63 posts	Quote Pin HayleyB This pen allocation sounds very odd - it would be very interesting to see a breakdown of the expected times. Has this been a problem in previous years? For what it's worth, 1:45 got me Pen C, which seems quite generous.
