I'd be happy to be there again Ken! But won't be camping this time (unless the music lineup is better!). You can put me down for all three days!
Cheers

So long as it's not the Proclaimers and we have to walk 500 miles to get there. And 500 miles back again.

I hold grudges. That's one person off the ticket sharing offer!

(I'm Joking - It'll just cost a little more!)

Bloody L Jim, sure you won't feel too out of place with the Ultima on the SEC stand? Bring the 987 Spyder instead and we'll share a (far) corner... ;)

Haha. I've swithered about going in the Utima for the past few years. They get a big group attending. There's a hardcore group of about 6 of us owners up here who do meet up a few times every year for breakfast runs and I can cope with "localish" runs in it but have always found an excuse to drop out of the longer trips. I did take it down to Stoneleigh one year in a 6 car convoy and also slept in a tent next to it for that weekend then drove home. I think it took me over a week to be able to stand up straight after that.

A 450 mile jaunt down the road in the STR is bound to be luxury in comparison. :)

I love that "if it all goes to plan".... fingers crossed it does, though!

Jim, I understand the fear of the long-distance trip in the less-than-luxurious car. Been there and done that meself...probably explains the Quasimodo-like posture I adopt from time to time. Not started climbing church bell towers at night though. ...yet....

I'd like to go, even just for a day, but can't commit at the mo. But put me down as a "tentative" if you like.

Hi,
Im now clear to come with my car on the Saturday.
Does anybody know the Club code needed at checkout for the Car Club Display Package. I cant book my tickets without it. It's not the code Ken posted previously for the early bird tickets.
Thanks,
Tom.

rutthenut
04-04-2021, 19:17
I used the same code - early bird pricing has gone but it is still the 'Car Club Display' code that gives two adult entry tickets for price of one, plus one car space for display

tomsredstratos
04-04-2021, 19:44
Thanks John,

I tried the code again just now and it worked fine. I'm booked for the Saturday with my car.
No idea why I couldn't get it to work earlier:confused:

An indication of how the Silverstone Classic might be.
This historic event at Brands Hatch went ahead ok.
See here, (ignore the ten minute thing, that was for when it was shown live) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pywBYzE8Rrk)

Well the ticket for the car arrived today which is nice. Hopefully the E Tickets will arrive in the inbox soon enough!

Entrance 5 & Infield-Point B-Area 19 for the club this year, much more central spot to last year so maybe we'll get a few more visitors?

Morning Ken
Quick question - if we have bought a club displey package , but don't have a finished car to exhibit yet , can we still use the parking pass to park midfield ?

About ten years+ ago, the organisers really tightened up the club areas.
Only club cars are now allowed.
Back in the day, John and Carol Butterfield's motorhome was the hub of the SEC stand, but the organisers wouldn't even allow that.

Hi all
With the rebuild of the rear dampers - now shorter as on Corse I they were pulling the LHS CV joint to it's limit and broke it, I am now mobile again.
Does anyone know if it is too late to book a Silverstone ticket and drive in/on to the club stand?
Do I need any special codes?

Regards
Steve

It'll be too late for any discount Steve and possibly too late to allow them to post out the windscreen sticker that gets you into the circuit. Entrance tickets are electronic so you may be able to get in still. Not sure if there is any general admission on the gate though.

Just spotted that Slowly Sideways will be there, doing demos a couple of times each day.
That'll be something else to look forward to

Had a great Saturday at Silverstone with the club members. We seemed to manage to dodge the showers by finding shelter but I hear they were not so lucky on Friday.:(
Wet track made for some interesting racing where we watched from the grandstand at The Loop/Aintree corner in the evening. Also witnessing the luckiest rabbit in Northamptonshire!
And well done to my friend Adrian for racing the Ferrari 500TRC in very difficult conditions and bringing it home safely.

Good job I wasn't there for the bumper cars! My surgeon would have had something to say!
