There will be full commentary throughout the day, with Special Guest interviews.
Cars & Car Clubs will be in the heart of the only spectator area, offering views of the house, 90 degree bends etc. Once spectators are in they are at the venue until after the 1^st pair of stages are complete, where we will have 20min window for them to leave / arrive etc, the crews will also be entering the spectator area whilst the stage direction is changed around.

I have contacted the organisers in relation to the camping arrangements as I was concerned that I wouldn't get much gear in the boot of the Stratos and my son is driving from London to join me for the weekend.
We would be allowed non display cars in the club area so long as they are booked in as car and driver, otherwise they will be directed to the general spectator area. Camping is 250yds from where we will be spectating at Weston Park

I have booked under the Stratosec Club name

Should be a great event

I should be doing the event in my Strat.
Assume Mel will be too.

Hi Neil,

Many Thanks for your email.

I've no issue at all making you my point of contact, thanks for offering it makes my life way easier lol.

You will have a good spot to help celebrate the 50th anniversary year of the Stratos.

I have to have the form completed for every member attending as the way to the show is shared with the spectator entrance, I issue a unique pass which gets you to where we are located.
If they dont complete the form they will be directed to the spectator car park and there is nothing I can do to get them out sadly.

Final call for the club infield Stratos 50 celebrations at Weston Park on the Saturday. looks to be a great event particularly if you like rallying and the Group 4 / B era. Use the links in the earlier post and let me know if your planning to attend. Sat night should be very special with the cars running through in the twilight followed by firework display and full party atmosphere for those who are camping the night.
The event continues on the Sunday as well so plenty of opportunity to enjoy the event.

I hope to join on one of the days. I don't know if I'll have the Stratos by then though, so I'd better book independently - unless the club doesn't mind me bringing an 037.

[Neil63]

037 sounds great to me. Let me know if you book on as per details in earlier posts ��

[jreacock]

Okay - I've booked in for the Sunday using the club details as above.
Thanks,
Justin.

[Neil63]

Justin, That’s great, look forward to meeting up with you. I have sent you a pm on a different matter.
All the best
Neil
