There's less than a month to go until this year's edition. So, I thought I'd start a thread. Looks like a good race line up this year with my favourites, the Group C cars, on all three days, including a 'night' race on Saturday.

I shall be going along as usual. I'll be taking my Hawk and will be on the Stratos Enthusiasts Club stand for all three days. Hopefully, I'll get on this year's parade lap. I missed out last year because of err....car related issues. i.e. it wouldn't stop overheating.

Anyone else planning to attend? Anyone racing during the weekend? Would be good to call on a fellow PHer.

I am planning to attend on the Saturday. Not received the tickets yet - has anyone got theirs yet ?

Are you guys in car clubs and on a stand? Or racing?

Personally I can't wait. My favourite meet of the year.

Love this event , all things shiny , classic and fast in one huge event. I will be there Friday and Saturday I expect , would love to get on track as some sort of parade but not part of any club that get's involved in this , one day , hopefully that time will come.

I am going and hoping to find some other P H ers. I will be in the Zed Fest so keen to know who's going from Guildford.

I'll be there Sunday with the old Honda, always a very nice meeting.

You'll be on the NSX stand I presume? If it's like last year, you'll be close to me on the SEC stand. I met Havoc there last year. Would be good to meet up.

I do hope that the funfair is not erected close to the car clubs this year as two years ago you could not hear anything other ...Swore I would not go again because of but here's hoping ?

We're taking a large group of TVRs from Sarrrf London & will be parking with the TVRCC.

First time to this event as I usually do Classic Le Mans but thought we would have a change.

What is the traffic/parking like? The gates open at 7.30am daily so is it a case of turning up as early as you can each day to avoid traffic?

Will be commuting from Rugby and attending Sat and Sun.

Looking forward to see the F40s and Group C.

Thanks.

Only a couple of weeks to go and Goodwood to enjoy first. Depending on what tickets finally arrive I may take the Exige down onto the Lotus Drivers' Club stand.

In my experience, Saturday morning is a pain. Friday and Sunday not so much. So, I would suggest that you get on site early on Saturday.

Last year the Classic celebrated the E-type. On my drive in, the roadside was littered with loads of Jags that had overheated in the queues.

I say Jags. But, there were some others. Including my Hawk.

I've got a beefed up cooling system for this year. So, I should be OK. However, I still plan to get to the track by 8am on Saturday.
