Hoping for rain on our Parade - The inaugural pre-race build up show is here for the Belgian GP

Published 7 September 2008 by Christine

Here is the first ever Parade Lap show, the brainchild of Mr C and / or Steven Roy. We're going live for an hour before the ITV build up coverage starts (in the UK), hoping to be a nice relaxing way to ease into race day.

We intend to chat for a bit, play some songs, and try and be slightly entertaining as we go about it. This is the first show, so your expectations should be realistic, just as Räikkönen's will have to be for the race.

We're live streaming, although it may just be the top of my head for now. We don't anticipate this being a show you want to watch, just have playing in the background.

Although we have dreamt up some ideas relating to how it's all going to work, things are ultimately very flexible and we want to hear from you. Your ideas, thoughts, predictions, anything you feel like chatting about. Call us via Skype, our username is sidepodcast, or the phone number you need is: 0121 28 87225.

We'll also be keeping a close eye on the comments, so we want to hear what you've got to say via the "Live Commenting Live... Thing" as well. We'll be on at (hopefully) 11am, so stay tuned.
