Classic Parade Laps

[Irish]

OK, does anyone know how these are booked? I am a Caterham driving ACO member which I think qualifies??

I know you can book them through Just Tickets.

Are you parking in the miultimarque area with a club, if so you should be OK to book through the club organiser.

No, this doesn't qualify you.

Correct. To access the laps you must be parked in the Clubs Enclosure around the Bugatti Circuit. The good news for you is being in a Caterham you are on the list of cars allowed into the Clubs Enclosure. If you are part of a club that is able to get passes to park there you will also have the option to buy a lap pass

My RX8 counts as one of the "Happy Few". Who knew? Awesome!

Just a shame I'm not going to the Classic

Did this the first time they ran the Classic and was very disappointed to have to wait until after the race on Sunday - then they just opened the gates and let us out and we were in the first few cars out - hence....

Parade laps are on the sat morning and if I have seen right are around the £150.00 mark this year !!! massive price hike, but we all know the ACO ...
You will only get 2 laps if lucky and these are behind pace cars and you will have circa 100 other cars out there with you.
It can get interesting !

and the pitlane



Im not special enough to be allowed in officially lol

They do seem to vary quite a bit in price, across the various UK operators selling them; and in addition to this variance, some include the mandatory infield parking in the cost - and others add it on top. It's worth shopping around (although some operators will only sell them with one of their packages)

You are right that you must be in the infield parking (i.e. the Clubs Enclosure) to do the laps but the passes to park there are supplied free

[spanishchocolate]

Whether infield parking is free from the organiser or not, as I said - some operators are charging separately for it eg On Site Events, who are charging £29 (in addition to the cost of the laps), and make it a mandatory purchase with the laps. Hence my point about shopping around

[Longers]

£159 for 2 laps and £29 to park...

Anyone any experience of successfully getting a Westfield on a parade lap

Car is a Westfield SEi.

Have noticed that some Westfield XI's have been on before, just conscious that Westfield isnt listed, however, my mate has suggested that registering as a "Caterham" is likely to fool the frenchies !

Cheers Bob

If you have the chance of parade laps and are prepared to pay the price just tell them its a Caterham, they wont know the difference. you wont need to show registration docs.
