Will anyone invite me to the FoS?

[10JH]

Went to the FoS 2 years ago courtesy of Ferrari and enjoyed a great day being chauffeured around in a Quattroporte and driving round a 612 round the circuit, all becuase for some reason they thought I might buy a new Ferrari! Does anyone know who has the circuit this year or which manufacturers will be most likely to get tickets off! Cheeky I know but saves a lot of money.

Thanks
James

FoS is a hillclimb.
Revival is a circuit.
Quattroporte is a Maserati.
You're a student.

Ferrari used to own Maserati, all the Ferrari dealers sell Maseratis

I know the FoS is a hillclimb

The circuit is still used during the FoS, in 2006 it was used by Ferrari for guests

I may be a student but my Father is not, companies have gladly offered me his tickets for previous events he has been invited to but cannot attend

But thanks for your oh so helpful comment anyway

By a parasite? Scrounging off Daddy and getting freebies where he can? I think not.

[10JH]

Wow, you evidently know everything about me now.

I didn't realise PH had an age limit or job limitations. Good for you 10JH - I bet you have your own Ferrari one day.

Some kids have rich dads, most don't. What the hell - have fun while you can.

By the way, if you get the tickets and can't make it .......

Jealousy is a terrible trait...

I wish I was able to do things like that when I was younger, but I'm not bitter to people that can do them now. Only the absolute twonks that milk it annoy me that you see on these TV progs occassionally.

Sounds like a good idea of getting tickets 10JH - if successful please let me know ;-)

[10JH]

Thanks for the positive replies guys.

I am nowhere near close to buying a Ferrari yet, but in 2006 Ferrari still let me come and it was a fantastic day out and I met some real nice enthusiasts. If I can't get free tickets then I will definetly try and buy them myself, its just nice to get things for free!

Pipe down Mr Civic.

I went with Porsche to FoS a couple of years ago so i know that they do a similar thing but I don't know how you would get tickets not having an existing relationship...

Good luck though!

You can win a ride in a GT-R up Lord March's driveway courtesy of Nissan, but perhaps there are other offers available as well.

We have an invite from Nissan, but only because we have a GTR on order.
Have to admit once you have been on hospitality (previously with 350Z) going as a normal punter is a bit of a downer.

Just had an invite from Audi.FOC general admission ticket and 2hrs driving on the track in either S5 and TTS,my choice,or S3/S4/S8.Then some passenger time in R8 or RS6 with professional driver.I don't know why I have been invited,haven't had an Audi for over 2 years.Just had an e-mail yesterday and have booked for Sat 12th am.When I called up they didn't even have my right address but still booked me in!!!

[robbo3112]

I`m lucky `cos I`m working as a chef in one of the better hospitality units on the best corner of the climb, not only do I get to see all the exotics for free but get paid to do it !!!

[10JH]

Thanks for the replies guys. FoS would be an awesome place to do some short term work! I worked at the Open in Hoylake while it was on and it was fantastic. Think I may try and blag from Audi, my Father was offered an R8 test drive recently but put it on so they have his details from somewhere.

Was reading the Sunday Times guide yesterday and was suprised by the price of the tickets, especially the weekend ones. I couldn't go on the Sunday but what is the difference between Friday and Saturday, apart from £30 vs £47!!

[GolfGT_Girl]

I am lucky enough to be helping out with richard burns/colin mcrae stand the saturday and sunday, so if you have spare change please put them in the buckets on your way out
