Did we not have an Aussie lawn?

Not this year I'm afraid.

I have been accepted to bring my race car, but will be bringing on a trailer. Is there parking for trailers and given they asked for a licence plate number (which the race car did have years ago - before it was converted) is it the tow car or the race car?

I sent an e-mail to PH directly, but no reply. Anyone have ideas

In case you haven't had a response, you can put the tow car down if the race car doesn't have a plate on it. Thanks!

Just received my stand invite and completed the form. How do I know what stand I have been accepted for? It all seems quite vague

You'll be on the Asian lawn

I have received an acceptance email for my Lexus GSF to be shown at the annual service on the 10th August. I had previously purchased 2 entry tickets for me and my son. First question, do I still need to use those tickets to enter. Second Question, I have still not received any details of me exibiting my Lexus.
Thanks
Sam

Yes you will need to use the tickets for entry to the event. If you received the acceptance email with a link to complete a Google form to confirm your spot, that's all that's needed for now. Vehicle passes and final details for accessing display parking will be sent out next week hopefully.

Is there a site map yet? Also, have the parking permits/hangers been sent out? I haven't seen anything yet.

Site map is just finished and will be sent out next week along with display parking permits

Any updates on what’s going on next weekend? I’ve not heard anything since filling out the form for registrations.

Vehicle passes and full details are being sent out tomorrow

What sort of security is there for the trailer parking.

Also, what happens if you don’t have a number plate on the car. Is this an issue?

There won't be any dedicated security for trailer parking. If you're bringing a car onto site in a trailer then all we need is the reg for the tow car and not the display car itself.

We had a lot of no shows for display cars this year which was disappointing, which is why some of the areas felt a bit light. Up to 50% for some of the lawns. This is something we'll work on for next year to ensure there's a great array of cars for everyone to see.

Thank you to everyone that came out early and stayed for the day, we really appreciate it and hope you enjoyed the event. We'll send out a survey in due course to get some feedback but feel free to share any here too

Managed to miss EVERY PH Annual service thanks to my engine blowing, the following rebuild or prior commitments but I will absolutely be making it this year!

I really hope so!

Popping my cherry this year... - Really looking forward to it....

Oooooo I'm excited to see this! I'm sure it'll make me pull the trigger on a set of Pole Positions, if I haven't already by then

Got accepted to display months ago, but only just found the emails yesterday that I had to reply to confirm attendance. Deadline passed Friday 19th June - I replied yesterday but got an out of office from the team for the next couple of weeks.

Any advice experience on this?! Anyone else I can contact, and do you think I've missed it now?

Thanks!

Don't worry, Adam is out for a few days but back later this week and I'm sure we'll still have space for an extra car or two
