Pikey - Fabian Sigwart in the M4 !? E30 M3 with an M1 engine. The car is an amazing piece of engineering and I agree with you, one of the best passenger experiences I have ever had.

Yep, Fabian !

Um a quick question, are the tickets for PF different to the entry tickets to the actual race meeting, I have been to the 2CV 24Hr race a lot and know that it is possible to buy on the gate. If we want to get into the PH 'enclosure' do we need special tickets? Many thanks.

My understanding is that the PF ticket admits you to PF and gives you a camping pitch, and also includes entry to the actual race meeting.

The tickets that admit you to the race meeting just admit you to the race meeting.

Race ticket means:

No games, no PH beer tent, no footy, no Mighty Goodfellaz, no tracktime, no RV racing, no camping.......

[bmw37lotus]

Are you taking up the whole campsite or is there a seperate section?

[paddy27]

I think it is a seperate section, well was last year.

We have one PH camping area and the 2CV club have another!

[landy_girl]

if you need any help on friday I can help

[Simon leith]

To clarify, all people who book tickets through PH for either a weekend camping pass or a day pass will receive a car pass and a wristband/pass for Pistonfest. No pass no entry I am afraid! The cost of facilitating/fulfilling Pistonfest, i.e. the marquee, bands, bars, games, food, lighting, additional toilets/showers, staff etc., means we need to ensure that we cater for the amount of people who book/pay for those privilages. All profits go to charity so we need to ensure, for the sake of those paying and for the charity, that the weekend is operated fairly.

What is the deal on taking caravans? Is it allowed or will I piss everyone off? I just bought a car specially for this and Le Mans, and it has a towbar, a friend would let me borrow his caravan, and it's not abroad... Why not? Plus if I read last year's reports correctly, a solid shelter might be a good idea

By the way I got the idea from all the talks about RVs...

I doubt there are any rules against bringing a caravan. However, do expect extreme piss-taking. RVs are just about the right side of "the line", but a caravan is way beyond it.

Even with PH stickers?

Depends what you are towing it with ? Transit pick up would be acceptable
