Hi

yep - i would imagine you can.
Just RSVP so your name is on the list. Starts 11am but I'm sure you can turn up whenever.

[Rigbyy]

Yea I RSVP'd.

Sent an email to the PR to ask about it just in case.

It should provide a decent sound track for work the whole day atleast!

As a brief aside, is there any restriction on how fast they u-turn at the end of the runway?

...and is someone from the FIA measuring just how straight these cars are going?

They'll be on 'test' tyres which bear little resemblance to tyres used in race conditions.

I have RSVP'd but it doesnt say for how many people I can bring?

I'll be there, was supposed to be having a factory tour the day before but they cancelled it and invited us to that instead. Look out for Cardiff University Motorsport club in our bright red hoodies!

Any ideas on the finish times of the event? I have a meeting in Northampton until 12-1ish and don't want to turn up in time to see everyone leaving...

I emailed them asking exactly that, event runs from 11am-1pm apparently.

Really? The website says until 6pm, although im guessing thats just when the Museum and the rest of it shuts.

Still works out alright for me though if thats the case.

It's also a new launch for the new team name
No prizes for what the new name is
