Anyone going on day one - this Friday?

[leebuchanan]

I'll be there on Friday in the MCoupe. Looking forward to seeing some decent Exotica.

First time I've been - any tips?

Lee, it depends on the weather! The hillclimb/races are good (bikes and cars) but hard to see unless you get high up (and that means in the seating areas which cost more!).

The best bit for me is the Supercar Paddock - more supercars than you can shake a stick at and you can talk to some of the owners/drivers and walk all around them! Look out for Simon from Noble with the M400.

Free parking is in a field a distance away (depending on your arrival time) and the car will get dusty too!

Enjoy!

Note to all:
Don't just turn up as this year it'll be ADVANCE TICKET ONLY!

Yup, all 3 days in fact. If it rains on Saturday it'll make the carparks 'interesting' for us.

We'll be going on the Sunday. We have grandstand tickets and are GRRC members so pretty much have access all areas!

Hoping for nice weather.

[DanH]

Going on Sunday too. Is the GRRC thing worth doing - although I assume its too late this year.

You have to write in and wait for "spaces" to become available.

Can take years some years - other years it can be quite quick - depends how many memberships lapse.

As for is it worth it =- of course it is!

[actech]

Dan, yes the GRRC is worth it providing you take advantage of the variety of events that go on through out the year, of which there are a lot, horse racing, balls, GFoS, Revival etc are all top events.

Justin, I'll look out for you. We need to chat!

Anthony.

[DanH]

Oh well I'll be there on Sun with Glover. He's going Friday too I think.

I'm in the sponsors enclosure too on Sunday. I'll come and say hello. They've given me a badge approaching something that Jimmy Saville used to hand out so I'm assuming it'll give me decent access.

We do have a stand, shared with our sister titles Classic & Sports Car and Motor Sport. We're directly opposite Toyota and very close to the Cosworth stand.

Come along and say hello - we're showing the M14 for the benefit of anyone who didn't see it in Birmingham.

Alan and Julia will be there on Sunday in our blue 3R in GRRC members car park.

Can we meet up as well? Can someone ring us on Sunday 07956 233330 and tell us which Stand or Tent?
