Can you just turn up to the test days as a 'normal' spectator and stroll around?
Is there any charge? Would the 10th March date be busier as it is closer to the event?
Thanks
Steve
Open to anyone as is most days at the circuit however they had security getting very protective of being near the chicane at last years testing for some reason and constantly moving people along. Any other track day or Southdowns rally it would not be an issue. Is there any charge? Would the 10th March date be busier as it is closer to the event?
Thanks

I guess those of us members who supported the event by buying our tickets early on know what to do next year
That's what I'll be doing next year. Surely us loyal members should be the ones getting a benefit not those that sit on the fence. Lynchie999 said:
... did we get to the bottom of why they were pointlessly moving people from around the chicane in the end ?? (or was it just a jobsworth ?) - that was at Revival testing if I remember... MM testing last year was FOGGY one morning!
(proper excited for the SD Rally!)
Your absolutely right!! I lose track the amount of days spent on that corner. A bit harder at the moment as I'm up north. I remember waking late panicking I'd missed the morning of MM testing and arrived just as the fog was clearing so a quick lunch in the aero and onto the chicane. (proper excited for the SD Rally!)
Yeah think it was just jobsworth. I hope.

Thank you for your comments regarding the complimentary lunch offered to GRRC Member ticket purchasers for the Members’ Meeting between 15 January and 15 February.
We are very keen to reward our Members for their valued and continued support for our events. To this extent, we were able to offer those Members who bought their 73rd Members’ Meeting tickets before 31 December 2014 a discounted rate and an opportunity to purchase an unlimited number of tickets. We were also delighted to offer those booking before that date the chance to win a money-can’t-buy prize – a VIP hot lap at the event.
Although we are unable to continue to offer either of those any longer, we wish to continue to reward our Members for their support. The complimentary lunch offer (at the Aero Club) was put in place to achieve this and make sure that our Members who have not yet purchased tickets, still receive a little thank you from us.
Limited-time offers remain part of our continued policy of rewarding our Members, but we appreciate the feedback.

Quick question;
How important, or not, is it to book grandstand entrance? It does seem to add considerably to the cost... but is it vital to see the racing or not?
Thanks
Env
To return to Env's question that got a little bit buried there!How important, or not, is it to book grandstand entrance? It does seem to add considerably to the cost... but is it vital to see the racing or not?
Thanks
Env
In terms of watching the racing a grandstand ticket is not necessary at all, there are plenty of good spots around the track where you can take your own seat, sit on the grass or just stand and watch.
Opinions vary on whether a grandstand seat is desirable, I think there are even some earlier posts in this thread. In the end it's down to personal factors like your own stamina and your faith that the weekend will be blessed with dry weather. Personally I have never bought a grandstand ticket and haven't regretted it (so far!)

As long they are "high speed" runs not stuck behind a Reliant Robin pace car Our tickets arrived But was a bit disappointed as they are cardboard with a bit of white string on them. not enamel like last years and others have.
We had single day tickets last year and had enamel. So not sure why this year some of the tickets are card.
Makes them look very cheap and tacky in comparison to last year and what others will have.
