Donington

[gtr-gaz]

just a reminder that it's the show next weekend.

Anyone going? It will be my first time in the Ultima (weather permitting)

If it's raining I will still go, but in the day car.

Going on Sunday BTW.

I'm aiming to be there on sunday in my Dakar. Not an Ultima I know, but if you fancy chatting about turbo's or fuel injection i'll be around. Apparently we will have a club stand in the infield.

Will be going on sunday in the Ultima.

Rich.

Yep, me too. Sunday, also got a 12:40 track slot. But will have probably wasted my £35 as they may not let me on track unless I can get my exhaust noise down. I am in the process of repacking my silencers ready for refitting tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

One good thing this year is that kitcar drivers get in free, they have charged in recent years I believe.

[GTRMikie]

Ultima drivers can usually park in a reserved car park adjacent to the Ultima marquee. I assume it still applies this year (Factory confirmation please?)

Is the static test done on a % of max revs?

If that's the case, can't you fit a lower rev limiter and just be careful through the "drive by"?

Gary

[pb3]

NO a fixed 4000rpm at 50cm!

[Graham-P]

Sunday it is then.........must say though, if it weren't for the fact that I needed to get some bits I don't think I would be going, it seems to have gone down hill the last couple of years. Last years parking (public) was a joke, if you got there early you had the longest walk (around that bloody compound) to the gate and then it was a race day so no track action!! , and this year it's a month late.....

.... We are informed that the show organisers will direct you to the parking area as you enter the site.

So, does this mean Ultima owners have their own parking still?

If not, I might as well just come up in the day car.

Gary

[mclark]

Have the same sentiments as Graham, been 2 years on the trot and vowed not to return until it was made somewhat more interesting.

Shame as the car could do with a good run......

How about meeting up at the M1 services near Donington? You have to go past this when you leave the motorway. J23A, I think. (perhaps a quick decent coffee before hitting the show!)

We shall be passing there about 9:45am.
Let us know and we can pull in there.

[andygtt]

just so you guys know, the show is even smaller this year and Ultima are now in the main hall with everyone else......

Don't know whats happening to donnington, it seems to be on a serious decline.

[eliot]

Sadly I missed it today, Mega hangover from all day wedding.
Sounds like i didn't miss much. I was only going to stock up on nuts and bolts.
