Ha... Good point, but technically no. The members referred to in the title Members' Meeting were traditionally members of the BARC. It doesn't refer to members of the GRRC. Of course non members of the GRRC are also here... Just as long as a member of the GRRC got the tickets... AND didn't try to sell them on here - that wouldn't be allowed at all smile

Could anybody give a car park update- would rather take something fun if it’s not too bad?

I was amazed at how the dry the car parks are but I would also say that we left at four so what they are like after that I couldn’t say.

But I’m chancing it and taking the MX5 tomorrow. Life’s too short.

Oh and take suncream. My foreheads glowing like a slapped arse!

That’s convincing enough for me. It’s a shonky old 4wd 911 anyway, I’m sure it’ll be fine

Thanks…am aiming to head to car park C for 8am Sunday and would rather take my car than the other half’s SUV!

Just left, zero problems, zero queue. I think I was in carpark B, the one you get in to from New Road. I too can't believe how dry it is!

Car park C was all good. The main paths are "gravelled" and the parking field firm. Got in and out without issue in a 964. The entry gate has a wicked dip that a car with a low front will graunch on.

Agreed. Grass was totally intact. Annoyed I went in the 4x4, SL would have been more appropriate. Glorious afternoon conditions.

Had expected the worst but car parks were in good shape yesterday. Great weather this weekend so I expect they’ll be fine today too. Biggest hazard was potholes on the roads around the circuit!

We noticed a surprising amount of dust leaving the car park last night, not at all what we expected beforehand.

He had to renegotiate the deal after the snow in March a few years ago...
