The AMOC held the inaugural race meeting at Snetterton, 70 years ago. MSV have kindly invited the AMOC to join the 70th Anniversary race meeting on 8th August by putting on a parade of Aston Martin cars.

We would like to open this up to Aston Martin owners on Pistonheads.

This prestigious meeting includes two rounds each of the British GT (including GT3 and GT4 Aston Martins) and GB3 (British Formula 3) Championships on the Sunday, along with Ginetta’s and Formula 500's, so it looks like a great meeting. 

The parade will take place at 3.05pm and will last for around 25 minutes. It will be live-streamed as part of the race meeting. Entry is £20 for two people, which gives you discounted entry to the meeting and the parade. Cut-off time for entries is 11am on Sunday 8th.

To enter please message me, with the following information:

Your name:
Name of 1 passenger, if applicable:
Model and year of Aston Martin entered:
Registration number:
A potted history of the car, of no more than 150 words:
Mobile phone number that you can be contacted on at the race meeting.

You will be emailed digital entry tickets. There will be a parking area allocated to the Club. On arrival inform the MSV officials you are participating in the AMOC parade. You will need to be ready to drive to the Assembly Area by 2.40pm. The parade will be behind a safety car. The entry fee of £20 per car will be collected in cash on the day.

We look forward to seeing you there.

I agree it is short notice. It was intended to have been a race for Pre War and 50's cars but too many entrants couldn't make it, either because of problems at Silverstone Classic last weekend, or family commitments. So it was a very last minute change to see if we could turn it into an opportunity for Aston owners to take their cars out instead.

It would be great if you can join us.

Google translate- PHers = very last option to try and salvage something and get some cars in place

Would have made sense to notify in advance surely? Even if we are all undesirable, numbers could have been limited

Is the parade just for historic Astons? I have a DB9 and I'd love the chance to drive around Snetterton circuit, but I dont want to look like a tool in my DB9 is everyone else is in historic cars.

You will be fine, AMOC Parade laps usually have more modern Astons than classic.

Anne explained why it's a last minute opportunity for some parade laps in her post just one before yours. Nothing to do with Pistonheads readers 'salvaging' something, just turn up if you want to, it's that easy. rolleyes

Belfry, there are several DB9's - also DB11 and a DBS Superleggera. You would be very welcome.

Due to a transporter which caught fire in the paddock today, the timetable has been changed. The parade will now be held at 1.30pm. Baconsarney - would that mean that you can now join us?

Thanks

Hi Anne, unfortunately I'm meeting up with some friends for lunch so would have to leave the circuit shortly before 12, but appreciate the invite!

Cheers,
Richard.
