Chris

[havoc]

I'll be going, hopefully for all 3 days.

Nice work on the club code!

[nationofzeros]

Hi all - I pledged to get some Club flags made up for Silverstone & other events, but given my paltry PC skills, I need a little help...

Does anyone have any hi - res .pdf files or similar of the Club logo (i.e. the header at the top of the website page) or failing that just the Honda NSX Club Britain logo / typeface, that they could PM to me - I will then set about getting these made up

Thanks

Chris

[Chris B N]

I will be there again +1

Chris B N

[nationofzeros]

Well, well, well - what a turn up for the books from HUK !

Those NSX faithful who attended Silverstone 09 will remember the splendid HONDA hospitality - marquee, flags, etc

Last year due to HUK's straitened economic circumstances - nothing

BUT for 2011, I am delighted to report that we will have the full HONDA support package - marquees, banners, flags, backdrops, DVD / plasma screen - even our own topiary !!! (Mike, desite this tsunami of largesse, needless to say we still have to provide our own kettle and stove!)

Take that, Ferrari, Porsche and Maserati - the NSX stand will be THE place for cool junior supercar dudes to hang out for all 3 days !

Chris

[havoc]

Great result Chris! :clap:

One question though...who's going to be responsible for looking after the bush? I'm well known for killing plants... ;)


(Reminds me - must sort out tickets sooner this year than last...)

[WhyOne?]

Well done Chris & Honda.

Will the topiary be in the shape of NSX's?

[Chris B N]

Great news,
well done Chris
If you could let me have some contact details I will see if we can get some support from Honda for Japfest

I will shine up the kettle and get more gaz - it will leave more space in the boot - what can I fill it with ? - Plasma screen implies power ! :-D maybe one of those portable cooling boxes ? Bacon, Eggs ok Im getting way too excited will go take pills and lie down again.

[gumball]

Great news about Honda UK, I'll be there Sunday again. My favourite meeting. :bigsmile:

Hi Mike, (hope you're well) now you've got me thinking, how about a PS3 and we can play GT5 all weekend and see how much we can mood an NSX type R :yes:

Plug in a DVD player with a DVD of all things NSX taken off You Tube:think:

Or we could play this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPjhb3D587Q :)

Paul

PS Chris & Mike you haven't put your name down yet for the dinner in April.

[L696ULO]

I'll can only get there for one day, I've never been before so I'm looking for suggestions on which is the best day to choose out of the 3?

[Hagasan]

I think that's a pretty good idea Paul.

[NSXGB]

Hi Mike, (hope you're well) now you've got me thinking, how about a PS3 and we can play GT5 all weekend and see how much we can mood an NSX type R :yes:

If I can come, I'll donate the Playseat for the PS3 & maybe the steering wheel too..... :)

[Chris B N]

There isn't a best day, all 3 are great
If you like Classics and sports cars it is an event not to be missed.
Chris B N

[L696ULO]

Thanks Chris I'll go for Saturday

[havoc]

Sat and Sun are both pretty good. Saturday has the night race (usually), Sunday has more 'headline' races but finishes earlier. On balance (and in terms of getting out without queuing for ages), Sat is a good call.

PS3 - now there's a way to attract visitors...and raise club funds! ;)

[TheSebringOne]

Great news Chris and well done.

I'm quite green fingered, so I bring the secateurs!

Paul, fab idea about utilising technology.

This time, we might attract someone bigger than Vanessa Feltz!

[NSXGB]

This time, we might attract someone bigger than Vanessa Feltz!

....maybe Michelle McManus?

[328]

Well Done Chris and Honda!!

If there are plasmas.....can we hook up a PS3 and play GT5?

:)

[Dragonlady]

We really enjoyed last years event so will definately be coming along on Saturday and Sunday this year.

Well done Chris on encouraging Honda to support the club.:thumbsup:

[NSXGB]

Well done Chris & Honda.

Will the topiary be in the shape of NSX's?

Maybe this one will do...

Latest news on the lineup for this years's Silverstone Classic...

ROCKING AND RACING AT THE 2011 SILVERSTONE CLASSIC

A star-studded line up of famous names will be topping the live music bill at this summer’s Silverstone Classic (22-24 July). As well as being firmly established as the world’s biggest classic motor racing festival, the Silverstone Classic is equally renowned for its live music entertainment, provided as an integral part of the show at no extra cost to all ticket holders.



Reflecting the magical on-track action starring many of the finest racing cars from motor sport’s golden eras, the live music performances provide festival-goers and classic car fans with an equally evocative step back in time.



On Friday evening Silverstone will rock to the celebrated sounds of the Rolling Stones, Bob Marley and Queen as three of the UK’s most acclaimed tribute bands roll back the years with sets featuring many of the best loved smash hits from the Sixties, Seventies & Eighties.



Then, on Saturday evening, the Silverstone stage will host live performances from a trio of rock and pop’s greatest names when legendary acts: Suzi Quatro, 10cc & Wishbone Ash take to the stage. Quatro had a string of hits in the Seventies and is widely credited as being a major role model for a host of raunchy female rockers. Wishbone Ash is hailed as one of the major innovators in the harmony twin lead guitar format and enjoyed huge critical success with albums such as Argus in the early Seventies. Art rock band 10cc also enjoyed major success in the same decade racking up no fewer than three number one hits. With three such celebrated live bands, it promises to be a memorable evening.



Sunday’s musical entertainment switches from live stadium rock to the more relaxing atmosphere of the 40-piece Amadeus Orchestra playing many crowd pleasing classical favourites. Along with promising young tenor Adriano Graziani and energetic electric string quartet Tetra Electra, the acclaimed Amadeus Orchestra will be performing as part of the innovative ‘Picnic in the Paddock’ attraction for a relaxed afternoon. Another newly created feature this year is the ‘village green’ entertainment area, which will host the recreation of many traditional British rural pursuits with steam engines, Punch & Judy shows plus a host of other magical memories from yesteryear.



Adding to the high octane festival atmosphere, camping is available for the very first time at the venue as well as in local campsites. The provision of on-site camping facilities is open to all Silverstone Classic Racing Club members.



“The Silverstone Classic just gets bigger and better,” enthused Event Director, Nick Wigley. “We have already announced a glittering array of races, special plans to mark the Jaguar E-Type’s 50th birthday, the return of Group C sportscars plus a host of other exciting attractions. Now we have a confirmed an equally stirring line-up of top class live music with bands and an orchestra that will really appeal to lovers of classic cars and family audiences. Over recent years the Silverstone Classic has developed into a true three-day festival with more and more people not wanting to miss all the action on offer. With so much great racing during the days plus great live bands performing in the evenings, it all adds up to a fantastic weekend at the country’s premier motor sport venue.”



Ticket sales are already more than 100 per cent up on last year with spectators taking full advantage of significant ‘Early Bird’ discounts available for those booking before the 31st March. For more information log onto www.SilverstoneClassic.com (http://e2ma.net/go/9128200695/3470505/103609360/39710/b64/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5TaWx2ZXJzdG9uZUNsYXNzaWMuY29t).

Book early - remember our NSX CB special discounts - prepare to luxuriate in our special Honda topiary !

That's the spirit Mark !

The more of us that book early, the more precious real estate we get granted in the ongoing inter car club landgrab tussle, so if you have plans to come along, buy your tickets now and help secure an extra few square metres of the hallowed Northamptonshire centre circuit turf !

Chris

[havoc]

Just waiting on responses from a couple of mates, and will book at the end of the week. Weekend ticket here too...

Great stuff guys, but for other aspiring Silverstone attendees - the 'Early Bird' promotion finishes TOMORROW !!! After that you can still get tickets on the club deal including centre circuit access etc, but for a few dollars more...

With accommodation in mind, for the first time this year there will be camping facilities onsite at the Silverstone Classic, for those of a suitably hardy constitution - details as follows:-
Camping



Many car clubs have requested onsite camping to save on the journeys to and from B&Bs and hotels and to allow them to enjoy all the entertainment provided at the event over its 3 days.


New for this year, there is a dedicated car club camping area on the outfield between Woodcote and Copse corners, adjacent to the competitor’s campsite. Details as follows:



Camping tickets are just £10 per person per night.
Free for children aged under 6 (must be accompanied by an adult car club member).
Facilities include use of showers and toilets.
Electrical hook up is also available for £10 per night.


Camping tickets and electrical hook up can both be booked when purchasing event admission tickets as a car club member.

Of course, failing this there might be 'crash out' opportunities in the nether regions of our Honda hospitality marquee(s), although I am sure that there will be something precluding this in the small print somewhere...

Chris

[Senninha]

Hi Chris,

I need to order tickets for the Saturday as I'm now confirmed and will have a co-pilot for the day.

Whats the best way to arrange this to ensure in field pass etc ... better late then never!

Jon, Duncan & Rich,

Fancy meeting on route for the Saturday? Would think that either J28 Brentwood should work or the South Mimms services?

regards, Paul

[L696ULO]

hi Paul

Happy to meet up for the drive there.

Rich

[Senninha]

Great ... just need 2 tickets now ...

[mutley]

I wasn't too sure about this event, however, after a few conversations at japfest, I'm convinced now, so I've got my tickets, all 3 days.

Jim

[mutley]

Ps just am after thought, do we get stand passes with the tickets?? I've not been to this event before so not sure how it all works!

Jim

[m666 edd]

The more I think about this event the more I feel like going. Any south west members interested in going?

[sorepaws]

Ps just am after thought, do we get stand passes with the tickets?? I've not been to this event before so not sure how it all works!

Jim

I think to get the stand passes you have to enter the club code when you buy the tickets

"Don't forget to use our special NSX CB club booking code (C11037) for those all important club discounts, and to ensure you get a centre circuit pass so you can waft your burbling NSX through the hordes, all the way to our full fat HONDA supported club stand, right in the heart o the supercar action"

If you already ordered and didnt use the booking code give the organisers a call they I am sure will add that to your order

[mutley]

I did use the club code.

Cheers
Jim

[nationofzeros]

Just a quick update on our presence at Silverstone Classic 2011 (July 22-24)

This is shaping up to be a great event, with a record number of NSXs already booked in. As you know, Honda UK are also supporting us very well with marquees, big screen entertainment, custom topiary (for the 'Gardeners World' contingent amongst us) , and some very special Honda kit indeed, which should make us the envy of our junior supercar peers at the show!

As those who have attended previously will know, this is a huge event with a massive amount to see & do, so our arrangements reflect the fact that everyone comes & goes as they please. Therefore my thinking is simply to hold impromptu barbeques on a 'bring your own food & kit' basis on our stand at 1300 on both Sat & Sun, and to use these as photoopportunities for the Club archives etc

We will have DVD player facilities, so if anyone has any archive NSX footage, (or alternatively any entertaining 'You've Been Framed' - style home videos), then bring them along.

A warm welcome is guaranteed whatever the 'summer' weather, courtesy of Mike's sublime teamaking facilities, which he has once again pledged to deploy.

Finally, all the car club deals etc run out on June 30, so if you havent booked your tickets yet and want to join us on the stand with your luscious NSX, see the booking details earlier in this thread - and get a flamin' move on !

Looking forward to a 'classic' this July,

Chris

[havoc]

Looking forward to a 'classic' this July,

Oh yes...should be a good one with the Group-C's back, and the new paddock area to go explore.

hopefully trying to get the camping kit in the NSX!

With just me travelling in the car this is easy.

Have also done 2 people plus kit in am S2000 lots of times - this has to be less room.

Modern camping kit is great, v. compact & just made for stowing in the nooks & cranies of a Japanese supercar!

What......no porta-garage for OneWhy?!

;)

[matpp]

I'm hoping to make it for the 3 days.....just working out the best logistics as it's 1200 km journey each way for me. I was hoping Kaz could do his magical Health Check just after the event so I could leave the car with him, return by plane and pick it up once finished.....unfortunately there's a waiting list and this is looking unlikely......is anyone willing to give their place away...it would save me a small fortune in time, money and mileage?

It would be good to meet you all and put a face to the handles.....best forum I've had the pleasure to deal with.

A bientot,

Mathieu

I've booked Friday and Saturday nights at Whittlebury Hall campsite. Same site as a few of us stayed in 2009.

It's a short walk to the Copse (I think) entrance/exit and through the paddock to the circuit. Good place if you fancy taking in the evening activities over a few beers :)

Cheers

I am intending on booking the same site.
Thought the advertised camping on the circuit would be good but looks like you have to be a member of the circuit club to be able to stay.

Olly

[britlude]

i booked using the nsx club code ages ago, and I've just had an email saying i'm in the silverstone woodlands campsite.....

got a new tent, trial packing the camping gear this weekend!!!

[nationofzeros]

WARNING : If you're planning on going to the Silverstone Classic and haven't bought your tickets yet, time to get a move on - the Club special offers expire on June 30th, so if you're too late, no bargains or centre circuit passes for you !

This year's event should be something special, with top notch HONDA hospitality, the best racing programme yet, a record NSX turnout in prospect and a very 'special' exhibit on our stand !

Look forward to seeing you all across any part of 22-24 July that you can support !

Chris

[Silver Surfer]

Is the special exhibit ASIMO or Senna's old car?

SS

[Senninha]

Is the special exhibit ASIMO or Senna's old car?

SS

3 options IMO, the Mugen CRZ, current JGTC race car or Jensons winning 'honda'

My preference would be for the road going version of the new sport cars that ws pounding round the 'Ring 2 yrs ago!





hi Paul

Happy to meet up for the drive there.

Rich


Tickets finally ordered so just hope I'm fit enought to drive and join the team on the Saturday. Where would you like to meet and at what time Rich?? J28 of M25 maybe??

regards, Paul

[WhyOne?]

At what stage in the ticket ordering process do you get the opportunity to enter the C11037 code?

[jaffaz32]

WhyOne The code is at the top when buying the tickets
http://silverstoneclassic.com/tickets/

Think my arm has been twisted.

Don't think i can make the 3 days though, looking at the calender i think the friday and monday are already booked off.

Got a few questions ;)

What is the latest i can arrive on the Friday?

Can we book track time? or is that included in the tickets in form or a club parade.

The camping facilities are on the booking form at the bottom but i have seen in a thread that they should be £10 per person on the club camping area how do we book this camping as the one on the site i think is for general camping.

I'm still in two minds if i should camp or hotel so what is the latest and earliest we can arrive and leave each day? I would imagine there would be a point where they lock the gates and you can't get your car off the site. I'm not a keen camper :o lol.

I'll book tomorrow once i can confirm if i can book the friday or monday off.

[NSX 2000]

You can come and go as you please, so you can arrive as late as you want and leave as early as you want.

The best thing to do is call the telephone number on the website, the guy I spoke to was VERY helpful and talked me through what I needed to do to get the best deal.

HTH Paul.

All booked.

I will have a spare entry ticket for Sunday is anyone is interested.

[matpp]

Ferry and Silverstone tickets booked this morning for the three days.......may have to leave early Sunday pm to catch the return ferry.......just need some rear tyres now.

Will there be a prize for the dirtiest NSX?

Camping's not our thing so it's B&B for us.

Look forward to meeting you all......should be the best venue this year.

Cheers,

[Nytram]

I would be able to find good use of your spare ticket for my son James, if it's still available.

All booked.

I will have a spare entry ticket for Sunday is anyone is interested.

[havoc]

I'm now definite for all 3 days, and may be looking for an extra Friday ticket, if anyone's got one spare?

Does anyone know if there's power on the stand as I'm organising a mobile wheel refurbishing company to repair 2 curbed wheels (previous owner I hasten to add) whilst I'm over at the Silverstone classic on Friday 22nd.


The company's called perfection wheels.....maybe someone else may want their wheels done at the same time?

I should be coming, going to book the tickets this week.

Is there going to be a Nsx parade on track? How do i book?

Can i book additional track time?

Do we need to bring a helmet?

I'm not sure if i'm coming the sat or sunday possibly both. i need to arrange a passenger for our 2 for 1 offer ;)

Hi I have decided to get my NSX out of storage and bring it to Silverstone Classic on the Sunday ,do I just turn up and ask to bring it to the club stand ?

1991 NSX Auto Reg A4 NSX Red 46000 miles

[jaffaz32]

I've just called the organisers for little more info.

If like me your a pansie and don't like camping if your car is on a stand you can't move it from the stand between 9am and 5pm however that is fine for most. after 5pm until early hours of the morning the gates are open and you can leave anytime you like for example after the concerts.

The guy on the phone said NSXCB do not have a club parade around the track this year, is this correct? can someone confirm please.

Also the code posted on page 1 no longer works, it expired on the 30th June. Which means you have to pay for price for the tickets.

I believe some people have purchased the 2 for 1 tickets and going on their own, perhaps they might like to sell their second tickets?

And... Although the club offer has expired are we still able to book our cars on the stand? As Steve asked?

[nationofzeros]

Just to confirm, the club offers for Silverstone all expired on June 30th, which included the all-important centre circuit passes to bring cars onto our stand. There is a faint chance that I can somehow persuade the organisers to issue some specially, but they are normally very reluctant to do this so no guarantees unfortunately.

Let me know if you want me to try, once you have booked tickets

There is no problem normally in driving your car in & out as you please during the days - I always do

With regards to your car pass, did you get 2 the same (ie both with you reg number) ?

Paul

[havoc]

Hi Paul,

Yes - I've got two identical parking passes, only the serial # is different. Do you need another one?

Friday ticket - I've had an offer of a single ticket from a chap on PH, so depends if you're happy to split your two or not? I'm pretty relaxed either way.

PM me - am in Kent this weekend (Medway, via M26/M20).

all sorted now, just got to work out what i'm packing, and what i'm leaving

[WhyOne?]

I may be wrong, but based on 2009, I don't think you need a stand pass - previously the stands were all open access.....has this changed?

Hi Ian

You have always needed a stand pass, this gets you into the circuit where the club stands are, otherwise you're just in a public carpark.

[WhyOne?]

Sorry, yes of course you are quite right Paul. I was thinking 'grandstand'

I have received a green sticky pass with Y1's reg on it to gain access to the NSXCB area.

[NSXGB]

Just phoned them (01483 524424) and the helpful young lady said we do need a stand pass.
Mine's in the post today hopefully.
You'll need your Booking reference number if you phone them.

[havoc]

I've still got the spare pass here. If someone needs one I've no use for it, it just needs 'doctoring' for the reg-no.

[nationofzeros]

Hi - al those who are going to bring their cars onto the stand, which is on the LHS over the first bridge past the main entrance this year, right by trackside this time, will need centre circuit passes. If you booked pre June 30 using the club code, you should bet one of these, coded to your numberplate...

Chris

You're talking about the section by Bridge, right? Depending on which circuit they're using, that particular piece of track is unlikely to be used - if my mental map of the place is right, the GP circuit now misses that and goes straight up the Wellington Straight to Luffield (which previously was the route the National Circuit (BTCC etc.) took). The other 'new' layouts also dip down and then up the Welly Straight.

Actually - has anyone been there since the redesign? There was a grandstand overlooking Priory, but Priory is also now 'dead tarmac' - so have they turned the grandstand around to face the Welly Straight?


(NB, for those who weren't there last year or can't picture it, we were just behind the exit of Priory)

Edit: Useful map here:-

Probably after as they tend not to go on till late. From what I remember last year the music was done by 8-9pm.

Ian

[havoc]

Group C race finishes at 9.05pm.

Music is on from 6.30pm to 11.00pm.

...could be a late supper at this rate! ;)

[lotusolly]

Whilst looking to book up a campsite, realised from their website that this site is currently undergoing refurbishment and their toilet and shower block is not available for use! Price also seems to have gone up considerably and from what I could make out is the same price as camping on the circuit.
Given that the weather forecast is not looking good, have managed to find a local b&b instead.


I've booked Friday and Saturday nights at Whittlebury Hall campsite. Same site as a few of us stayed in 2009.

It's a short walk to the Copse (I think) entrance/exit and through the paddock to the circuit. Good place if you fancy taking in the evening activities over a few beers :)

Nightmare Ian, very bad timing.

[WhyOne?]

In some ways yes - obviously disappointed to misss this, in others it is near perfect - if I can get the car sold at the weekend, it will be gone before we head away on holiday, and just a couple of days before my company car arrives. Couldn't wish for better really. As the chap is travelling from the Isle of White, I am hopeful he is serious.

Hi Steve,

I'll be heading up the A34, maybe hook up around Oxford if that's any good? I'm out on Saturday night and it could be late so might need you to PM me your mobile number.....just in case!

Hi pg and Steve,

Would it be feasible to meet at Bicester services? As an idea? Just off the m40?

Cheers,

Andy

Thank you to Chris and TigerRed (Honda) for the support and hard work - a fab event 24 cars on Sunday and weather to die for !

Mike

[nationofzeros]

Mike, thanks to all, not least of all yourself, for all the efforts that made Silverstone 2011 a real success. I will be writing a big 'thank you' note to HUK and TigerRed on our account, as I really felt that the hospitality arrangements were second to none this year

I hope everyone who turned up enjoyed this splendid and ever-growing event at least half as much as I did !

Chris

[328]

Hi GUys,

Thanks to everyone!! It was a great day out for me and my son!

Apologies go out to Paul G, Ollie, Hagasan.......err...i admit that there 'services' at Bicester were almost non-existent!...and that it thankfully worked out at Cherwell valley Services...thanks to Steve!! - I guess it gives good precedents that I should really never organise anything otherwise things could go badly wrong!! :)

Cheers,

Andy

[kingsley]

Thanks to all who organised a great event. We had a great time just wished we had spent a couple of days rather than just the Sunday. Events like this and Goodwood and Cholmondeley need a couple of days. Thanks again great taking to so many interesting people

Great weekend, and a big thankyou to all that made it a great stand. Roll on next year.

Cheers Ian and Sharon

[britlude]

great weekend, i'll be better prepared for the next one!!!

[matpp]

A big thanks to all for the organisation......an excellent event despite the rain on Friday and the endless rain on our trip back from Ouisterham ferry terminal all the way home. Nice to meet you all.....apart from some too busy with their window winder mechanisms!

Cheers,

[havoc]

Big thanks to Chris, Mike and of course HUK.

Good to meet some new faces too - Mathieu, great to meet you; Steve, sorry I didn't stop and chat for longer - story of the weekend I think.

I really think the SSC is becoming the best motorsport event in the UK - all the access of Goodwood without the pretention and the "us and them" (albeit there were a fair few young people wandering around trying to look posh/rich). Plus racing rather than just a quick blast-and-then-it's off up the hill...

[Nytram]

Another brill weekend at Silverstone, thanks to Chris for all your efforts and sorting things with HUK.
Hope you will stay in touch and I look forward to having a good look around your new 348C soon.
Thanks to Mike for the refreshments and I guess it's up to you for next year[no pressure].

Best regards to all Martyn and Julie.

Hi Mathieu,

I briefly spoke to you about your wheels as I got a spare set in silver....before I got stuck in the window winding regulator fixit task....nice to have met you albeit brief...I posted a pic of your car in the other thread. :)
