just to bump this back up for anyone still considering,
a week to go before i have to send the forms off

[Viper]

all sorted, application sent

[Viper]

r u a registered UK club member ?

(should'nt be a problem)

[Viper]

ACR - that will do nicely, Don't leave home without it

[Viper]

all sorted now, payment sent

the tickets dont normally arrive until about a week before,
so ill let you all know when i have them


us Northerner's will no doubt meet the London gang on the M1 services again for the final 20 mins cruise to Silverstone

there's been a northbound M40 group as well in the past, the x2 Dave's,FB,Peter etc can all go that, so get it sorted

the roadworks by luton have all gone now

[Viper]

CM is on the wrong side for the M1 meeting point really, he will have to go a bit out of the way to meet us

best bet what ive done in the past to drive with the convoy, is to head further south down the M40 and wait at the services till the southern lot pass by, and cruise in with them, or you can hack over to the A5 by Hinckley we meet there first before dropping onto the M1, driving to junction 15 and meeting the londoners

[Viper]

ill just send the southern run bunch of tickets to Dave to save some stamp licking ?

anyone else coming up the M1 from London direction? were meeting at the Northampton services junction 15a Northbound side, for the cruise across the A43 to Silverstone

[Viper]

entrance tickets arrived today, the car passes are following on sometime this week, ill post the M40 crews stuff to RT Dave

[Viper]

just had a quick chat with Paul, were going to meet at 9am at junction 15a, so 8am at South Mimms

[Viper]

on the tickets there is a stub for friday, so if anyone wants to go that day let me know and ill post the ticket direct.

all the other tickets and car passes will either be sent to
RT Dave to hand out to the M40 crew, or if your on the M1 run ill hand those out at the services

[Viper]

infield parking pass/stickers arrived today, the organisers have asked they are attached to your window screen prior arrival at the gates, to speed entry and show the marshalls which way to send us, youll receive them with your entrance tickets on the day

we are parked in the same area as last year, in between the porsche and corvette club

RT Dave is going to dish out the tickets/passes and collect the payment off the M40 lot en route, and ill do the same at the M1 services, so please have the correct used notes i dont want a pocketful of coins - £15 per adult

cheers
Neil

weathers looking good according the BBC website, sunny all day, infact all the holiday

[Viper]

just looked at the entry list and results from todays race, seems Zacspeed entered a couple of CC's !!

[Viper]

Nice to see everyone again, glad the weather stayed dry !

Colin showed me some pics of the damaged Zacspeed when they were getting ready to pack it away, a lot worse than we saw when it was in their tent, lots of body panel damage, the chassis was bent, so not good. Colin reckons about 20 grand just to replace the carbon panels and rear wing...

Mark i have loads of pics to sort out, but Nigel has posted some vette pics in their forum

[Viper]

you probably watched the main GT race, the Zacspeed team competed in the seperate GT3 race

[Viper]

here's my pics straight off the camaera from the BritCar and Dutch Challenge series on saturday at Rockingham, and yesterdays pics from Silverstone
