Few questions as we´ve not competed there before...

I see we will be loacted in the outer paddock (outside of turn 1).

Is this a hard-stand or grassed area, and is power available to hook-up motorhomes etc.

The only power on hand is from the pit garages, unless Rock has updated in the last two years to power stand post in the paddock? Im almost sure there is no power where we are John. John.

Thanks for that John, looks like another expensive weekend then....I'm sure the generator uses more fuel in a weekend than the race car. laugh

I and a few others will be there Friday evening and, considering we are not driving until late on Saturday, I can see a bit of a piss up on the cards wink

We will be there between 2.30 and signing on as the car still does not have tow straps, T pulls, starter motor is knackered,ecu still dangling on the loom, no wipers and they foul the induction, plus a host other little jobs.
