Hi Lynne wavey

Oulton Park is in sunny Cheshire (which you really should know, being from Kent!laugh).

Dates are March.

Mike, the 24th March is Easter Monday mate - not Saturday.

Which day is the main GT3 race on - thats the day we should go and support the Team Modena Gallardo.

Once you get numbers firmed up Lambo HW (Zara) will sort out the paddock passes / parking etc for everyone.

Hi there,

Just to be a pain there are British GT races on both the 22nd (Saturday) and 24th (Monday). Team Modena will race their Gallardo in both races.

From memory the Monday was absolutely mental last year with people taking forever to get into the circuit due to very heavy traffic. Perhaps Saturday would be the better day, it is a bit quieter and still gives everyone a chance to see the Gallardo in action.

Regards

Tim

Cheers mate, so thats Sat 22nd March then (not 24th as per Mike's view on the World smile ) and Monday 24th March.

Mike, have you sussed out with LHW/Team Modena which date they are aiming for to accept Guests (or are they doing both)

Just spoke with Zara and can confirm that the Gallardo GT3 will be running both days. Adam Jones is back in the seat as one of the two confirmed drivers. Those who watched last year will know that he drove like he'd stolen it, so we can expect some good results again I'm sure!

The tentative plan, from Team Modena's point of view, is to provide catering and a hospitality area for supercar owners (not just Lambos) coming to support their team. Last year they were concentrating on Team facilities (and rightly so) and visitors had to make the best of it. If the support is there the intention is to try and provide more for the guests this year.

I should know more in a couple of days, in the meantime, anyone interested needs to get their name on this list. It's still an INVITATION ONLY gig as the race series organisers (SRO) won't let people just turn up Ad Hoc.
