Hi guys,

Sorry if you have seen this post elsewhere, I am just trying to raise awareness and gather a wide depth of cars to display.

I am the event organiser for the international charity kart race that is to be held at Rye House, Hertfordshire on Sunday, November 25th. Some of the biggest starts in International motorsport are confirmed such as Alain Menu, Marko Asmer, Jason Plato, Katherine Legge, Romain Grosjean, Dan Clarke, Chris Harris, Mika Kallio and many more including possibly the biggest collection of female stars in the same place at the same time!!

The support race features some unusual motorsport icons on track as well, with Sam Michael, Mark Preston, Mike Gascoyne, David Lapworth, Paul Jackson and many many more...

The official website is available at:

http://www.theraceagainstcancer.co.uk

and is the best way to tell you all about the event.

At the event there will be a trackside static display of automotive heaven with supercars, ex-race cars and hypercars. The diverse range currently has DBR9, Mosler, R8, Koenigsegg, LP640, Schumacher B195 F1 Car, Veyron and many more to list. We are looking for:

Bugatti Veyrons, EB110

Ferrari 250, 275, 308, 328, 288GTO, 348, 355, 360, 430, 456, 550, 575, 599, 612, 512M, Tessarosa, Enzo

Lamborghini Countach, Diablo, Miura, Murcie, Gallardo

Masearti 3200, 4200, Quattroporte, MC12

to put in the display and if you have a car that is suitable and you would like to put in the display please contact me. All cars will be roped off and have a security team watching them to ensure that the members of the public cannot touch them.

The second thing that I would like to draw to your attention is the grid procession, we plan to drive each driver to the grid using one of the more drivable cars from the village. If you would like to volunteer to drive one of our motorsport stars from the pitlane to the grid in your car again please contact me. You would be driving your own car at all time (so don't worry) on the race track and have one of the worlds biggest stars as a passenger for 3 to 4 minutes!!

Please be in touch my e-mail is matt.roberts@umms.co.uk

Kind Regards

Matt

A bunch of local-ish to Hoddesdon Lambo owners will be contacted in the next day or so...

...not too sure if there'll be a horde of Miuras or many-lots of Countachs, I'm afraid that Diablos are not exactly easy to trip over at every corner, Murciélagos aren't exactly easy to find everywhere and Gallardos only slightly 'plentiful' by comparison but folk will be called/emailed - fingers and stuff all crossed that LCUK can find some of them!

...and in any case, best of luck with the event!

Cheers for the support guys, we just want to make it the best day possible!! You would get 2 free tickets with each car, and have access to purchase some at a heavily discounted price (for supporting the cause)

What about the parking for the cars as it says this on the web site.

Just don't want to leave the car unatended if at all possible.

"Parking



You will not be allowed to park your car at the Rye House venue under any circumstance - this area is extremely cramped as it is and is reserved for drivers and other guests only. If you try to drive down to this area you will be refused entry. You must park elsewhere and then walk into the venue producing your ticket as you do so.



We will release information shortly with suggested parking areas for you to park your car for the day. In the absence of official parking we strongly suggest you get here as early as possible to avoid any traffic issues and give you the best chance of finding a parking place close to the venue".

All of the cars in the static display are "inside the venue" so the parking rules don't really apply! All cars will be roped off with people watching over them!
