I will be attending next week, who else is coming?

I have never been to Silverstone or any other racing track for that matter, where is the best place to stand to be able to get photos of whats on the track?

If there is anything else that could help me, please let me know.

Thanks

2 years ago they opened the stands between Club and Stowe. That was as good as anywhere.
Access is really good for this event so getting up close is not an issue.

Is this type of thing organised through the owners club?

It is a Ferrari SpA event with input from the Owners' Club. To put it another way, in case that is the purport of the question, you do not have to be a member to attend (indeed it is a public event anyway so anyone can turn up just like any other race meeting).

Basically just wondering how to get invited to these events or if there is a club or forum I need to join. Had my car for a year but not been to an event as yet and would like to going forward.

You've missed many threads and ads for this event (including this latest one) but....

Generally however FOC is a useful starting point

And register your car at your local Ferrari dealer. Even if you don't use them for servicing you should get onto their mailing list and get invites to various functions. Worked with me anyway!

Also might be work registering on the official Ferrari website.

I'm heading down from the north east on Friday. This will be my first attendance at such an event. Need to be up early to register for the parade on Saturday. See you there!

I'll be heading down from Yorkshire in a big convoy of Ferraris from the Supercardriver club. I'll be in the silver 308 GTBi.

I missed the last one as my daughter was just a week old so I gave my dad the 355 to drive on the parade lap. He seemed to enjoy it a lot.

What day is the convoy? I'm going down on Sunday via the M1, will keep an eye out.
