nope, you go out as a novice, intermediate or expert. i got 2 sessions, one as intermediate and one as novice, you have a faster car than i had, but silverstone is a gast circuit so you find yourself moving over for the big turbo boys on the straights and then waiting behind them in the cmplex etc

Ad, i found it best to go out in the 2nd bunch of cars, do the pace lap, then hang back for a few corners, let everyone pretend they are Ayrton Senna. That way I had the whole track to myself as theres no-one else around...
Few laps later though, different story  Good job too as i had the good old oil surge, white smoke issue. Took it a bit easier for 1/2 lap and got back on it...
No cones, but it is an experience to say you've driven your own car round Silverstone  Beutiful car track.
Let me know how you get on hanger straight, i was getting into 5th for only a few seconds before having to stamp on the ancors.  Yours is quicker than mine, would be interesting to see how much more

Maggots-Becketts-Chapel bends are quality - should be a good test for you Adam 
Some chap smashed up a 355 after Chapel the other day

Its brilliant in a car..
Coppice requires balls to get through fast as you can't see round the corner til your on it.
Becketts - scrub the speed off before you get into it, then accelerate through. I found if you tried to push hard through the first part, you'd come out onto hanger much slower.
Stowe is cool, a lot faster than you think, can really carry speed round that onto vale then its hard on the brakes...
Abby through to brooklands is like a rollercoaster, but i hated luffied, it just goes on and on and on and on and you really have to wait to put the power down.
In other words, you will love it.

i find sliverstone really uninspring to drive round, much like snetterton
Brands and lydd are far more entertaining IMO

Oi, git, im off there tomorrow!!
Snettertons just long straights and ballsy bends....
Brands is much less entertaining that Silverstone (Indy) but the GP circuits great. More balls and pants needed on that
When you gonna get your car working again, been out of action nearly as long as mine

My car worked perfectley till the engine died, it now resides on my drive in many bits 
i just prefer brands, but maybe its because im really confident round there, and not anywhere else
