Silverstone Classic 2016 - McLaren Drivers Club

[duggan]

All,

As per last year, I've organised a display area for McLaren Cars under the "McLaren Drivers Club" banner for the Silverstone Classic on Friday 29th to Sunday 31st July 2016.

A good start to the club/brand at the Classic last year & hopefully we can get a great showing this year. We had a slot close to the pits and opposite the lamborghini stand last year & certainly drew attention...



They're also doing a current "Early Bird" discount until the 31st March when you get 2-for-1 tickets - so book early

The club code is SCC16072 - be sure to use this as you'll get your parking pass with this.

Cheers.

Hi, would be up for this normally but sadly its right in the middle of summer holidays.

Any other events organised by McLaren Drivers Club ?

Sorry missed this post the first time around.

The McLaren Drivers Club was set-up so we could get a pitch at the Silverstone Classic last year - hence going for the same spot this year.

I'll look at organising a few events if people are up for it - was thinking:

FIA WEC at Silverstone on 15-17 April
BLANCPAIN GT Sprint Series 7-8 May (or could do the next round at Silverstone the following week)

Welcome any other ideas - please let me know interest

How does one join this Club?

For the Silverstone Classic it's just a case of buying the tickets in the link above and quoting the club code (and, I guess, having a McLaren ).

For the other events, as there is interest, I'll speak to the organisers to get a display area and then run the thread from this forum, with an attendance list - keeps it simple.

So is it an actual Club or just a group of people calling themselves a club ?

I ask because I was contacted last night by someone who was keen to set up an owners club, to my knowledge there is no such club currently set up in the UK ?

We needed a name to get ourselves a "club" spot for the Silverstone Classic - hence the "club" was born.

Happy to organise a few events as it's always good to meet up with a few owners + we've got a fair few new owners recently, but certainly not in the business of running an owners club (I don't even have a beard for starters )!

A few of us going now. Don't forget that the early-bird tickets (2-for-1 offer) runs out at the end of this month.

Cheers.

Are you guys going all 3 days ? Or are you planning to be there on one of the days.
I will join, but unlikely to do all 3 days.

I'll be going along on Saturday + Sunday (went for all three days last year, but think the weekend is enough)

Speaking to the organisers of the Silverstone Classic yesterday and they might have a few spare infield passes for the McLaren team (deadline passed on 31st May for the infield display).

So if you still want to come and display your McLaren, please let me know and I'll arrange for additional passes.

Did you manage to get any additional passes sorted out.

Andy - sorry. Missed this the first time. Do you have tickets to the event? Let me speak to the organisers and see if I can get you an infield pass - will be back to you in the next few days.

andyferrari said:

Hi, no haven't purchased tickets yet. I'll wait to see if there is access available and then decide.

Ok - which day do you want to go - Saturday or Sunday?

andyferrari said:

Bishbosh there are tickets available online for Sunday, and I am sure there is infield available for Sunday as I asked for a friend with his 650s today. If you book. Your ticket online email me the booking ref and I'll see if I can get it sorted for you.
My email is [e-mail].

I'll give Jane a nudge in the morning - so 3 650's extra for Sunday

Take a look at www.mclarenautomotiveownersclub.com soon to be the global McLaren No 1 owners club

Colin - looks like you have exceeded your bandwidth - site doesn't work

Might want to join the Facebook group as this is a thriving community for McLaren owners.
