It's worth a try. Would be a shame for them to miss out. I mean it's £25 entry but if they charged £10 to PHers/visitors, that's a few hundred extra on a quiet Sunday afternoon for them.

Can anyone reecall how far away the SS parking is from the usual MBW car park. Asking because I'm going to be very much inbetween any sort of interesting car at that point and rather not take up a space that could go to something nicer and then just wander over to look at everyone else's nicer cars.

The challenge is that 23rd March is Mini day at Brooklands - so not a quiet Sunday afternoon - one of the busy days of our events calendar.

Ah, good point, hadn't checked when SS is due.

About 1 minute's walk, if you have to stop to let a car drive past. It's over the road.

What a shame no one at Lotus is more engaged. I assume the press department have been tried? What about emailing the Chinese CEO?

We've tried many different people but no luck sadly. I'll get Adam to try, as they've probably set me as spam by now hehe

Just to confirm, can anyone turn up on the day and park across the road? As above, I’m between cars and don’t want to take up space instead of something interesting but would like to attend.

Yes and there’s also the museum car park just round the corner on the gravel.

Froomee meant in the Mercedes public car park. It's free for any visitors to park in there... normally.

It is although they want to avoid us overflowing into that car park, so ideally don't want people using it for the Sunday Service.
