On the day how does entry work if were signed up on the Sunday service list?
We'll be issuing a pass for you to get in and taking a register on the gate. All of this will be explained in an email that will be sent out during the week before the event.

Got my ticket for the strip, first time for me so looking forward to it!
Just hope I don't stall..
Excellent! I'm really looking forward to this - I have only done it once before and it is way more exciting than you might first think it is (especially if you're up against something of similar performance!)Just hope I don't stall..

If you've never done a RWYB before I highly recommend you watch this.
This tells you the correct order to do certain things, and explains the start line which will in turn help speed up the whole running of the day. Observe what the marshals tell you to do and you'll also get on a lot better. For the sake of others in higher horsepower cars, unless you perform a burnout, avoid going through the bleach box / water box, you end up putting water down on the track and your car won't perform as good as it could. The race surface isn't like a normal road which has a great deal of grip in both dry and wet conditions, it's a highly compacted asphalt with layers of rubber and glue to help with traction. So any water on the surface will cause loss of traction.

What sort of cars have we got booked onto the strip?
I'll be taking my F30 335D down the strip. It looks boring but goes pretty well!I have some trepidation about launching a 4WD Auto.

How many people do we think we'll get? currently 368/1,500
Who knows - it is a well known Motorsport venue, it is centrally located and there is an opportunity to see some exotica PH metal being used in anger... And of course it never rains at Sunday Servces!In all seriousness though, it will be good to make it a big one - we might even be able to get some additional attractions along if it heads in that direction.
