BTCC Silverstone

[GSI_Daz]

Anyone know if there is going to be a convoy arranged for going to Silverstone? (Looks at Chris )

[BO55 VXR]

Have something provisional, just need to confirm

[OLYC]

also, has any of the motoring press been made aware of the gather, im sure Total Vauxhall would be interested at least.

[BO55 VXR]

We tried that last time.... they weren't interested... Mind you, bit bigger this time...

I nominate baz7175 to contact TV...

I provide them with the small BTCC coverage they put in the news pages of TV, and I'll be at Silverstone anyway snapping pics of the event itself and the paddock, pits etc, so I'll see if I can get us any coverage

[BO55 VXR]

well done baz.

Remember that there are 150 cars covering the range not just us Monarai - in fact, I think we got every VXR model this time

[BO55 VXR]

BTW: We're going for groupings again...

[baz7175]

Not a problem, I'll be knocking the Brands Hatch coverage together to send over to the lads sometime next week all going well so I'll drop some hints

[Demolition Man]

I'll volunteer to do some car parking duties if you need someone to wear a hi-viz vest

[BO55 VXR]

Thanks mate, no requirements yet, but I'll keep you in mind

[baz7175]

Well peeps, I tried my best with the peeps at TV but they aren't interested unfortunately - BUT - I will be in attendance anyway and as such will snap away and then wave them under the noses of TV and some of the other mags I do freelance work for, and if all else fails I always fire the guts of 750-1000 pics online from the BTCC weekends on the website I help run here in Ireland - www.jon44w.com

Look forward to meeting some of you guys there, and just wish I was bringing the 'ro over with me too.

yeah 3 of us that I know of - looks like I'm heading down on the Friday night, V6 JDT is heading down Thursday or Friday and don't know yet what bigwheels plans are yet. Course if you mean the north like Manchester then there will be quite a few I'd imagine.

You could always aim to come down on the thursday and attend the tea and turbo evening at Monkfish

[BO55 VXR]

Tickets were sent out by Vauxhall today -

If you cannot now attend, would be grateful if you could let me know as there are people on Stand-by who missed the cut.

[AM04ARO]

If we bring a passeneger can they pay on the gate and join us?

[BO55 VXR]

Yep.... but cheaper to buy in advance on-line

[Well_Fans]

actually it worked out dearer at Donny as I understand it thanks to a 5 quid booking fee if paying by credit card.
