PistonHeads Sunday Service 12/02/12

Join us at Silverstone Circuit for the first Sunday Service of the year

---

The first Sunday Service is almost upon us after taking a well-earned rest in January. But we’re ready to start the season again and have some exciting new venues lined up, as well as some old favourites.

We have taken the Sunday Service to Silverstone a few times over the years, but this will be the first time we are guests of the circuit itself and we’ll be parking in the shadow of the new wing on Sunday 12^th February.

Talking of parking, this is another huge Sunday Service as we are able to welcome 700 cars on the day. Remember when these events used to attract 50-odd cars? A distant memory these days, and we thank you for coming along in such large numbers to help make them such a success.

If you aren’t familiar with our Sunday Service meets, they are very simple in format. PHers arrive from all corners of the country, pass gate security (us lot) and park up. After that it’s all about admiring other cars, buying some breakfast and enjoying the surroundings.

Gates will open at 09.00 as usual, and we’ll kick you out (politely) at 13.00. You will need to book a space however, and to do that all you need to do is book a space by adding your name to the calendar by clicking this link. No name means no entry. That’s not us being mean - we just have to make the best use of the space available and this is the fairest way.

In addition to being alongside the famous circuit, we will also have the opportunity for a limited number of you to tour the new Silverstone wing. Tours will take in all areas of the new building, including the podiums and race control. Tours are restricted to a maximum of 210 people and that means we’ll be taking seven groups of 30 people every 30 minutes, starting at 09.30 on a first-come, first-served basis.

To sign up for a parking space, just click this link and add your name.

Thanks to Silverstone for having us, and we look forward to seeing you there.

Can I please be directed to the diesel section on arrival?

No segregation.

You have to share the space with the clean fuel people

Can someone help a mobile user out? My iPhone doesn't like the link on page one.

Please add Moley RUFC in an Octavia vRS.

Th Mods may be able to help, but AFAIK you have to log in to register.

I'm currently last (27th reserve) on the list.

What are my chances of making the final cut?

better than any bet you would place on a horse.

Damn, looks like ive missed out on this one, cant see 110 people dropping out.

Sign up. I'd be surprised if 110 don't drop out the day before

Normally yes, but not sure on this one. Looks like it will be well attended.

But if if you are on the waiting list and turn up at 11 am, there is chance (not guaranteed) quite a few of the early contingency will have left so making space.

I'm a new comer to PistonHeads, can anyone tell me if there will be another event like this? and when?

AFAIK about 5 or 6 events every year, different locations, date for each one to be announced just a few weeks weeks prior.

Do a search for last years events.

If Silverstone say it is OK to go ahead, but we have some snowfall tomorrow/Saturday, I reckon there would still be a decent turnout.

It was excellent, bit snowy though.

I recall there a PH event at the Ace Cafe a whole ago -snowfall and yet, if my memory serves me right, one guy turned up - he was dressed well for it, tweed jacket, cap et al.
