Also if you arrive in good time it may be possible to run a sighting lap prior to the passengers joining in !

Would suggest 8.30 / 9.00 am , however , everybody arrives and are obviously anxious to get on the track but we run 12 lanyards with other gates only having 6 . It is an all day event which will give everybody plenty of track time . As stated we are the only gate with dedicated trackside parking which gives us easy access to and from the pit gate . To be parked up and attend drivers briefing at the gate for 9.00 is ideal .

Drivers wear lids if they want . I prefer passengers to wear just in case also adds to the excitement in some cases !

You don't have to pay only the visitors . Helmets are only necessary in open tops . There are normaly spare lids at the gate .
Look forward to seeing you all .

I would like to thank everyone who turned out last Saturday . From your comments it would appear that you enjoyed the event all be it the organisation of the pit lane left a lot to be desired . I have not spoken with them yet as i would appreciate an email giving feedback from you guys .
SEE BELOW THE EMAIL I RECIEVED THIS MORNING :-



Hi everyone
In the first instance I would like to apologise to all the car gates, especially Steve from the London Tunnelers whom I badly let down , ,
it all started when Subaru came in on the Friday night and took out the cones between car gates 5 & 6 without us knowing to make one large Subaru gate with Roger Clark racing in it ( instead of separate gates ). That meant when all you car clubs arrived, you counted down the gates. Gates 1,2,3 and 4 were ok but after that everyone was in the wrong gate and this had the major impact of Steve and the London Tunnelers not having a gate and causing a little conflict between themselves and the GTR0C club.
Because of this the Tunnelers were without table, chairs, awning, etc which took us until 10:00 am before we could get the track underway.
Also because the Big Thunder track marshal Steve was taking his time letting the cars out onto the track, this caused a back log for you guys.
We realise now we had too many aircraft landing which to be fair should have been in a 5 minute window but the planes pleased themselves when they arrived.

Going forward we will try our hardest to not have any planes landing at all next year and the air show will be done in the air without landings.
Pat Jackson, the old track marshal will be back with us next year and he will keep things going.

Please again accept our sincerest apologies, especially Steve and the Tunnelers because this is the 1st time this thing has happened in the last 11 years and we will make sure it is the last.

Regards,
John and Chris.


The VULCAN flyby was worth the travel alone !
