Its on 19th and 20th of April at Silverstone.

We went two years ago and had a great day out. Prices are really reasonable and all the entertainment is free, fun fair, paddocks, grandstand seats etc.

When we went the NSX owners club had a stand near the fair for all their cars, plus a few other clubs.

 

Does any of the organiser mods want to look into a day out on the Sunday and see what prices are like ( club discount maybe?) and stand?

Anybody interested in convoying down for a day at the races?

When we went their was a fun fair on, all the rides were free. They have a full day of racing including the ferrari series which you can get to walk around their paddock whilst they are working on the cars.

 

The best part for us was that we knew one of the people working for the sponsors of the GT races and I got to mix it with the photographers on the pit lane up close and personal while the main race was happening. Being 5ft away from Astons, MC12's, Corvettes etc when they come in for their pit stop was awsome, the noise from their engines when they fire up and you are only 5ft from their tailpipes is like being kicked in the chest by a mule. It makes the Supra sound like in is running on battery power!

 

If I can find some pics I'll post them up.

I'd be up for this - can take it on board - who's interested?

I'll ask about a club stand/parking area, how many did the NSX lot have? I suspect we'll need a few to convince S/Stone to let us have a dedicated area, maybe teaming with other "toyotas" might help... I'll see what people's interest is after the weekend and then crack on :)

This would be really good. From what I can remember there was about 10 NSX's. We need to decide on which day, how many and do we meet up and convoy down together. (for those north of course ;))
