Got my tickets booked for Sunday, weather isn't looking too promising so also paid for Starkeys parking as I'll be with my 2 year old.

How do I access Starkeys? I've only ever been through the main entrance at donington!

Access to Starkeys is usually via the Coppice entrance which is up past the old museam.

Do you have to pay for starkey’s parking on the day? I can’t see it as an option when buying tickets. Cheers

It was one of the extras alongside the programme and radio but it's not showing now so I guess they must have sold out. A bit of a surprise really.

Anyone know how to find this out? The entrance pictured above would be very handy for us

Anyone who was down for jackets and baseball caps who has not yet received them, if you are going to Donnington Park this weekend you can pick them up from the Neon Street stand.

Just ask for Phil.

Where’s the best place to keep abreast of things online? Is there a dedicated YouTube channel? Thanks

They're live on YouTube and Facebook, or if you'e not a social media fan, also on the SRO page.

Just picked up both caps and jackets, thanks thumbup
Not seen anyone else in them mind.

Been a great day so far with surprisingly good weather. Not looking so good for tomorrow but at least I have a nice new coat to keep the worst off!

I'm keeping an eye on this one. A six-hour round trip drive plus the prospect of sitting in the rain all day is putting me off. Sadly to late to offer my ticket including entry to Starkey's.

OK, not quite the morning! biggrin

Coppice is open if you have booked tickets for it.

If you need an emergency ticket I will see what I can do!

Many thanks for checking but we're all sorted now. We were contemplating walking but with a lack of VIP bar to prop up I'm ok with driving round to the main entrance.

Roll on tomorrow. Owning a MK4 means I'll be routing for team Supra in the GT4 class. Everything crossed for reasonable weather!

We picked ours up at a similar time....hiked to the middle and back, just in time for a post-qualifying snap & a fabulous biscoff ice-cream before he drove away!
Gratuitous publicity shot hehe


Thanks Julian!

No problem Mike

Glad you had a good day yesterday and I hope the drizzle clears up quickly for today.

I might see you if I can get there myself today, but if not I will be at Donington 2 anyway, as I am being interviewed for the TV coverage at that one, so if you want to return I'll see you then!

Cool photo! biggrin

Cheers

It’s a little damp up at Donington today but the IM jacket is keeping me dry. Thanks again Julian and the rest of the IM team.
