As some of you may already know through Facebook and Twitter (@Speedchills & @Speedchillsgirl) that we now have a photo gallery from events we have been to up on our web site and on Flickr.

I have been looking through them and it has been great remembering all the good times we have had! For the Speed Chills Girls it has now been 3 great years of exciting events such as Le Mans, Silverstone, Spa, Britcar and more! It all reminds us of how lucky we are to do what we do and to be a part of the Speed Chills team.

We have also added a section for videos on or site! Would be great to hear from you all if you have any photos or videos you want to share so please contact us if you do. You can also share a story behind a photo or a video; you never know we might just love it enough and post it!

Speed Chills join Snoozebox at Silverstone Britcar 24 hours

As some of you might already know Snoozebox are at Silverstone; we joined them for the weekend for Britcar 24 hours. We arrived there on the Saturday to find an amazing crowd of people waiting to enjoy the race and weekend. The gorgeous weather obviously added to the whole experience but we were all pleasantly surprised to see such a great turn out.

I compared it to a very mini Le Mans purely because of the atmosphere, weather and so many people camping and sunbathing. The race started at about 4.30pm so we made our way to the grid just before which was amazing. I have never been in such a busy grid; it all felt very relaxed and fun.

After the race started i made my way doing the rounds saying hello to everyone, telling them about Snoozebox and Speed Chills. I must say Britcar 24 hours was a very eventful and exciting race to watch! I was very lucky to experience some of it at the pitlane during the race with some of our friends who were doing filming and commentary for the Britcar live stream. This was a whole new experience for me as i never thought i would be able to do it. It was so exciting getting to see the cars as they came in and talk to everyone; definitely a highlight!

The guys from The Gadget Show were also there racing in their simulator which was brilliant to watch. They also stayed at Snoozebox so we caught up with them when they went back. On the Sunday again we were very lucky with the weather. I visited a friend of mine Ian from Popbangcolour, he was working on some stuff in one of the garages which was great to watch! Overall great day and great weekend!

Silverstone and Snoozebox

The Speed Chills Girls set off to Silverstone on the Saturday 10^th September for the Autosport 6 hours and stayed there overnight and each got our very own Snoozebox rooms!

When we arrived we were so relieved to see we were so close to the action! Usually, to get good accommodation we have to stay a long way away from the circuit we are visiting.

Next to all the rooms was a lovely hospitality area with tables, chairs, sofas, food and drinks; this was very useful over the weekend. Once we met the delightful Snoozebox team we made our way to our rooms!

I cannot say enough good things about the rooms, we were so impressed! The rooms included:

• Comfortable double bed with memory foam mattress
• Flat screen digital TV
• Free Wireless internet connection
• Heating/air con
• Power sockets
• Motorsport themed decorations
• Storage
• Towels and toiletries
• Wet room with Shower and Toilet

After a long day at Silverstone we were all very excited to go back to the marquee for some drinks and then to our rooms

 for some well earned rest. The staff at the marquee were so friendly and attentive. The next day we all struggled to leave our rooms as we were so comfortable; that mattress is wonderful!

We can't say enough good things about our Snoozebox experience; even though we were so close to the action, the rooms were surprisingly quiet and extremely comfortable. To any of you considering a luxury stay at any future motorsport events I would definitely recommend Snoozebox!

Watch this space as we are very excited for a potential joint partnership with them; I know i am excited!

Le Mans 2011 Charity Pit Lane Donations

Written by Lorena Saturday, 03 September 2011 11:00

This year at Speed Chills we really wanted to do something to help make a difference however big or small it might be.

For those of you lucky ones who came to Le Mans with us this year, you will remember the pit walk we managed to organise. This was possible thanks to the brilliant guys at Rebellion Racing and Krohn Racing. We have worked with both teams in the past and are always keen to work with them as they have been so kind to us.

Customers that went along were asked for donations that have gone to the Japanese Red Cross. Thanks to everyone’s help and donations we managed to raise a total of 800 Euros which is so great! 

So again thank you to our lovely customers; we sincerely hope you enjoyed the pit lane walk. And again huge thank you to Rebellion & Krohn for making it happen!

We will make sure we go see them all at Silverstone!
