Anyone planning on going?

I'm certainly making the trip again, last year was superb, if you like cars you'll love this.

Hopefully we'll have a good selection of Group C cars and old school F1 again bounce

I only went on the Saturday last year but loved it. Easy seating around all areas of the circuit and great getting up close to the cars. Looking forward to it again this year. Would be nice to try and get inside this time with my car (where the TVR lot parked up last year) - anyone know how/where tickets for this are available from?

Are you camping at Whittlebury?

I'm planning on dragging a few local TVR guys over with me.

O/T the Top Hat Classic Series is on at Snetterton this Saturday, not up to Silverstone's standards but still a good day out
12 quid on the door

Erm I know where to get tickets from - I meant so I can get into the inner part where the TVRs were displayed last year? Was this a TVRCC only invite?

I'm looking to go, how was the camping at Whittlebury? I camped there for the LeMans last year and it was a bit rubbish to be fair!!

You have to be part of a club, but nothing stopping you entering your own club, which was what I was thinking of doing, but am unsure.

Well, there was a field for our tents and some showers that spouted luke warm water.

The tie breaker was the very fanciable Bulgarian bar maid wink

To be fair, there was a crowd of us, so the atmosphere was a good crack, and it was a 100x better than the facilities you'd get at a festival hehe

No, only 1 TVR last year.

Hopefully a few interesting motors this year though. You're more than welcome to hook up.

The UK NSX owners club will be attending for the first time as this is the 20th Anniversary year of Japans original supercar. A selection of cars will be in attendance over the weekend

See you there ...

Quick question , is there any separate parking for those attending in older cars , like the pre 65 parking at Goodwood Revival ?

Would there be any interest in PH applying to have some space at the event for its members? I'm fairly sure that we could put forward a good case for PH being a car club, but it would need a bit of early commitment to make sure that we get good cars for each of the three days.

Sounds like a plan.
