Yes Phil, the event is still on.

I have dealt with Phil at GB Promotions over the last couple of years regarding this event, and he has always got back to me, he said he would love more Astons to attend.

In my original post, there is a link to the event, which includes a phone number, try giving him a call, if you don't get any response, let me know and I will get in touch with him.

I would read the email again, as the next part asks for an address to send tickets.

Her is the email I received.

Keith,

Please confirm that you will be running your car. I will need an address for your ticket.

Regards,

Phil

Programme for Supercar Saturday July 19th.

Timetable
09.00 Gates open
09.00-11.00 MB World Track signing on
10.00 Museum displays and aircraft open
11.00 MB World Track Drivers' briefing
12.00-13.00 MB World Track demo
14.00 Test Hill Drivers' briefing

17.00 Event and Museum closed

Admission prices
Adults £13
Seniors & Students £12
Children (5-16 inc.) £6.50
Family £34

It is a requirement of Mercedes-Benz World management that owners of track demonstration cars must present their driving licences at signing on. This will take place for drivers and passengers from 09.00 and drivers (only) also need to attend the track demonstration safety briefing at 11.00.

Minimum age for passengers on track is 16. No age restriction for Test Hill.

Supercar owners are also invited to take part in the 14.45pm Test Hill session and will need to attend the briefing at 14.00 where wristbands will be issued. While the Test Hill has a steep incline it can easily accommodate special cars (see pictures).

In addition to the supercar displays we also have car club and classic car displays in support of the event. These cars will be located on the Finishing Straight on the approach to the Banking. There will be an opportunity for some of these cars to take part in the Test Hill session.

All display and track demonstration cars will have exclusive entry via the Brooklands Road entrance.

Please note that complimentary ticket holders will be required to pay for passengers.

Ah, I wasn't asked for it but it doesn't matter, will sort it out on the day.

Phil just sent me the list of cars for the track session - great list including lambo and bentley safety cars with Mclaren Mercedes SLR, 2 x MP4-12C, lots of late model Ferrari's plus Testarossa, 2 x Alfa 8C, 2 x Corvette Stingray, De Tomaso Pantera...

Should be a great day.

Sorry but the weather turned out ok, a very light shower early on, but after that, it just got warmer and brighter.

Here's a few images from today, sorry just taken on an iphone.
