New GRRC members tips for FoS

[fastgerman]

Hi All,

Recently upgraded to full membership and returning to FoS on Friday for the first time in a while.

Any tips on what to use and where to be?

I see there are 2 x GRRC areas (one near the start and the other near the finish). Any recommendations and can you use the Kennels?

Thanks in advance

The Kennels is normally fully booked with corporate guests and hospitality, I doubt if they would have any availability, however, the only way to see if they have any, would be to phone them direct.

The Members enclosure and pitstop are great, people will question their positioning though, they may become busy if it rains, if you want things like a locker then best get one early as the go quickly.

You can access the pre-sale days at Bonhams with your badge too.

The last few time I have been, the Members' Tent near the start line has been deserted - the implication there is that, as said above, it must be in the wrong location.

Since the abolishion of the included Thursday tickets, and the ballot for entry to Kinrara, I struggle to see what a Member actually gets over any other attendee.

The "PItstop" is next to the F1 paddocks and nowhere near the finish, although it is usefully close to the tractor shuttle that will take you there. Unlike the startline enclosure where lockers are snapped up very early, Pitsop had loads available all day. However, it was new last year, I imagine it will be more popular this. Note that it's also open to Fellowship.

Do we need to wear the badge to gain entry or show membership on our phone?

They ask that you wear your badge.

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated

Loved it and some perks from the membership upgrade:

- Forward parking (meant we didn’t fall over in the mud).
- GRRC enclosure with a good bar, coffee shop, comfy seating inside and outside with good screens and facilities. Also Porsche Le Mans car and Gordon Murray cars on display.
- Pitstop enclosure also good, not quite as lavish but had better food.

+1 on Pitstop. If you haven’t paid for hospitality, it’s a good spot to recharge with some nice food vans.

Possibly the only members benefit I found in ‘24, above the usual benefits of opportunities to pay for more stuff’. Going for the fellowship next year.
