Yup - going, maybe camping from Friday night.

Vette's missing a starter motor at the moment but should be back in time for this. Hope so as those tracks round Donington bring back fond memories of infield parking and handbrake turns. Everytime we went in we had somebody hidden in the boot for free access - anybody else use this method?

Not sure yet. Waiting on further details. I get 12 points towards my PBMWC standings if I get a marshalling session in this season - and this seems an ideal way to get them.

Unless you've asked for something particular, I expect you'll be out on the bank.

Hope you enjoy yourself, and want to Marshal again.

Me & the Mrs hope to be there, weather permitting, hoping it stays dry. I shall be in my PH T-shirt

really looking forward to seeing the cars again, espcially the Corvette's & DB9's

A few other PH'ers are going, take a look on the GT Racing forum

Think SpeedChills are there too.

Spoke to Donny 2 weeks ago, the infield is closed to cars, which is a shame as we could have had arranged a mini "indy-arnage" style meet

See you there

The Vettes working fine now - as proved yesterday at Bruntingthorpe. Just waiting on the weather to decide if I go Friday night or Saturday morning. Sppeedchills or Coppice, Speedchills or Coppice????????

Lets hope for a race like the ALMS yesterday, quality bit of work by the Corvette crew and masterminded another 1/2 victory. Ahhh, those poor Astons!!

Was a cracking race last night and once again the Aston's couldnt get the win and the ever reliable, ever rumbling corvettes proved their worth.

C'mon Astons - Aston win on home soil

Why not do both?

If you want to use the free campsite at Coppice rather than the one at the Park Farmhouse Hotel, no problem.

Speed Chills Bar & Grill is open to everyone (subject to limits on numbers) and these is no membership fee as this has been waived although the Club Arnage guys & gals are still proposing to pay with the money going to Doris's Fund (Cancer Research).

Is there anyway to get a place to drop in a for a beer or is it first come first served?

Certainly sounds like a good idea!

I was trying to gauge which of the two sites was going to have the most activity. All the LM06 crew are either busy decorating, being on holiday, working or are skint so I'd probably be a Billy-no-mates for the weekend. Not too bad during the day when there's racing to watch but a bit poor in the evenings.

There's a limit on numbers but we're not there yet - best way to make sure is to register on the website at www.speedchills.com/lms_dp_book_request.htm; despite what the web page says, there is no membership fee for this event (the facilities have been scaled down to avoid it).
