It certainly wasn't lacking.
Chris. Doh! Thanks. My mistake. My previous post now corrected.
Being (stupidly) pedantic , it is round when looking from the side
This is sorted now.
Thanks for the info.
10 cars for Sunday: 5 Lister Bells, 3 Hawks, 1 Corse, 1 Allora
Wow I am unique!!Quote:

Parade Lap instructions. Please read:
Neil. Many thanks, did you manage to get your car on the road!
Regards Ken
On the track parade instructions, it says a sign on sheet is there to speed up getting your wristband.
I don't see it....on the website maybe?
Robin has asked the same Tom. I've asked Ken.Quote:

Stratos cars should enter by GATE 5 (the main Silverstone entrance) Then straight over the bridge, straight to 'Farm Roundabout', then immediately left and left again to double back to the Stratos stand. Back towards the bridge that you have just driven over, but on the inside of the old disused part of the circuit.
Here we go, regarding the sign on sheet and wrist bands for the parade lap:
"Hi
Your club have a parade lap at the Silverstone Festival, so I have attached the Track Parade Info for you to send on to your members to read and a Track Parade Sign On Sheet which they can download, sign and bring along to exchange for a wristband which will allow entry to the track. Don?t worry if some forget them as we will have spares on site, it just cuts down on the paperwork.
When members arrive onsite to your display area, you can exchange a parade wristband for the signed sheet. It helps speed up the process when it comes to parade time. Our team onsite will liaise with you to make sure you have parade wristbands and that you get to the correct place at the right time.
Thanks
Jane"
Hi Chris Many thanks for posting the info on the forum for me!
Thanks Ken
Thanks Ken and yes. About 400 miles now since rebuild (I really must get out more). Looking forward to the event and a big Thankyou for pulling all together and CJs supportQuote:

I bought my entry tickets online and put the app on my phone.
I keep getting emails saying my event tickets are ready, yet when I go into the app and click on one of the day tickets it says "TICKET NOT YET ACTIVE"
Is this just me?
No it's not just you Steve. Nobody has tickets yet. You'll get an email soon to say when they are active.Quote:

I would do a screenshot, but the security policy on it, will not allow a screenshot.

2024 Race Card:
I like the Slowly Sideways drift track. last year (or the year before maybe) they had an 037 giving it the beans
Is anyone going to attempt to send tickets to anyone else?
My tickets on my phone have just "gone live" with lines constantly moving around the outside of the QR codes
Hi Chris
Tickets successfully transferred to Ollie; Lish and Julie all good!
Chris , looks like I didn?t,Quote:

Hi Neil,
Well that's a pain?!
So they're offering 2 free nights at some other time?
They should put you in the Silverstone Hilton. I suppose that's full though?
Ken,
I've just heard from someone on PistonHeads, who got his tickets sent as printable PDFs.
I've just read that they will try and enforce the pit garages ban again. Another nail in the coffin for me.
I've got that now Steve,Quote:

AND
You don't need a signal at the gate.
Is that correct?
Chris
The QR code on my phone is about 20mm x20mm, but I seem to remember that was fine last year.
I will be in my Corse and they previously posted me a paper sheet to display (about 2 weeks ago) when arriving so that the car can get in.
Last year they checked the car and both and my passenger phone app tickets. - All very efficient and quick though
I think if the phone has downloaded the ticket(s) then you should not need a signal. I have just set my phone in Airplane mode (no GSM and no wifi) and I can still see the QR code for both tickets with with moving lines
Thanks Steve,Quote:

If you're walking in, you can't have a bag bigger than A4. I can't see how they are going to enforce that?
That's not a lot of rucksack space for all the Greggs stuffQuote:

Great weekend, pity about Saturdays weather but still a good club turnout. Senna display was a highlight, track parade with so many strats, plus getting to meet more club members.
Storm, what storm brewing, plus a few of my highlights from the weekend

Great photos Neil.
'Think the smartphone I used to get into the circuit would take better photos than the camera I was using!
I've only ever stayed once after dark, so it's interesting to see all that.
They used to have the balloons at the same time as the Friday night rallysprint. Those were the days...
Hi Chris
The Festival really does have something for everyone, hence Debbie lasted the full tour :cool:
Apologies for the rotated images, I’ve given up trying to correct them. Great spending some time chatting with you.
All the best
