1) Do you have to have a GRRC badge to use in conjuction with them?
2) If 'no', has anyone got any they'd be willing to sell on?

Ben - not that I want to ruin your day but if anyone sells on their paddock passes - and is found doing so - they will be thrown out of the Club.. Not an idle threat either, sadly i've already had to do it 3 time this yr.. So i guess it's unlikely that you'll get any. You don't have to wear the badge in conjunction with the pass but anyone spotted with a pass and no badge is fair game for being asked to prove their Membership status..

Does this mean that non GRRC members do not have access to the paddock/s?

Fergus and Ben,

I have got a paddock pass (and no you are not having it rotate LOL). As a non paddock pass holder you go round some parts of the Paddock. Whih is open for General Admission. BUT there is a part of the Paddock which is for GRRC members only. In which you need a Padock Pass to get in. Also the tunnel by the main entrance is for 'Paddock Pass' holders only, aswell...

There are two paddock areas, one of them pen to everyone and the other open to paddock pass holders only.

Paddock passes are issued to GRRC members. You are provided with two passes one for you and one for a guest.

Not sure how this is policed as the guests obviously do not have GRRC badges and I am not aware that there is a requirement for them to be accompanied by the GRRC member when they are in the paddock area.

Correct, non member cannot access the paddock with the Aston Martin DP212/4 & DB4GT Zagatos and the Ferrari 250 GTOs but you will get to stroll around some other interesting machinery. The place is crammed with it!

So how does one obtain a charity pass? I have decided against GRRC membership but would like to have top paddock access one year.
BTW there are an awful lot of liggers (usually strolling in the way of a one-off photo op) without GRRC membership badges in the top paddock, anyone know if these are likely to be sponsors guests or WAGs?
