Silverstone Classic 2012 - July 20-22

[sorepaws]

1072210720107181072110719
3 days of fun excitement, racing and of course the NSXGB Club Stand.

More details can be found here :- http://silverstoneclassic.com/

Ticket prices - discounts etc will be announced early in the New Year.

I am taking over from Chris this year so expect a few hickups along the way as we lose our well oiled Siverstone Classic organiser.

If you can only attend one event in 2012 then this is the one if you like an eclectic collection of cars, family fun and real racing. Open Paddocks mean you get a chance to get up close and personal, spot the odd celebrity and catch up with old friends. There is even live music in the Evenings to keep you on your toes.

See you there

Mike

More News

Tickets for the Event will go on sale 1st December

10743


I will post the Club discount code as soon as I have the information, buying tickets this way will also get you the infield pass you will need to park on the club stand.

If you are there for the 3 days £80 for 2 people (BOGOF) it is the best value around. Goodwood FOS will cost you £240 for 2 people for the 3 days.

Regards

Mike

I'll be there, great event and great value. I hope they sort out the buses, to and from the new "Wing" pit complex, this year.

Cheers

On the booking site they are offering us a Hotel Snoozebox which are several shipping containers stuck together with a bed inside i saw them being put together last year at the gp, think we will look for a B&B or Hotel somewhere close.

[NSX-FAN]

I will pop along to this and take some pics etc.... be nice to chat to a few members, cant remember the last time i spotted an NSX.

[swhatley82]

I will be there in my NSX (that I bought last Thursday) + girlfriend, father in law + wife will be in there little red MX5, & brother in law to be will be in there little golf.

When I put the NSX code into the booking form it says x2 entry which I assume means 2xpersons per car, but what happens with the campsite?? Do I book 3 adult for the campsite (3 cars) or 6 adults???

Really looking forward to this even, can't wait!!

The campsite is I belive a seperate booking system ! - so not sure sorry there might be a contact email ?
most likely 3 cars ? - and welcome to the NSX club look forward to meeting you in July

[swhatley82]

Cheers Steve

Ill give them a call tomorrow to confirm & post on here the best options for the people with tents :)

[swhatley82]

Just to confirm, it is on a per person basis for the woodland camp site as they issue each person with a pass.
ive looked at the evening entertainment for the site, & I'm very excited!!

[britlude]

adam ant this year!!! I stayed at the woodland campsite (siverstones own) last year, plenty of room and good facilities (well they should have been as they were new!)

[markc]

Hi Mike, are Honda UK offering any assistance this year? Last years tent was superb :)

The new NSX Concept might be between major car shows and available for the weekend... if you don't ask you don't get!

Cheers

[NSX 2000]

Looks like there will be more F40's than NSX's

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/motorsport/9081311/Silverstone-Classic-2012-Ferrari-F40-tribute.html

[havoc]

Like your thinking Mike.

F40's - now THAT will be worth seeing.

[sorepaws]

What would it take to get 60 NSX there? Can we do it?

[havoc]

Foreigners! :D

[Dragonlady]

I can bring along two models if that would help.

Why would you want to 'beat' the F40 turnout? Don't want to devalue our Badge! :rolleyes:

Thanks,

Chris.

Mike will confirm, but I believe the club offer still applies, it's just the early-bird prices that have disappeared.

Great News - Honda have just informed me that they will be supporting us at the Silverstone Classic - as last year we will be getting the Super Marque Complete with Plasma TV DVD player, topiary and most important - A FRIDGE !

If you havn't already got your ticket order in, you have just over a week from today. You will need to book online before 31st May in order to get a stand pass which gains entry to the infield parking and most importantly YOUR place on the club stand.

[SILVER BULLET]

Well done Mike that is very good news,i've just got to make room in the NSX for some fridge fillers as well as the weekend camping gear now !!

Cheers,

Mike - are you taking on parking-coordination duties this year or are we just dumping them abstractly? ;)

Mark out a big "H" (for Honda) in white paint on the grass early Friday and we'll fill it as the cars arrive. How's that for Honda efficiency :cool:

[Senninha]

Has anyone got any spare tickets for the sunday?

Yep. will PM

[havoc]

Have been told that the organisers are (very sensibly) moving a bunch of the car clubs and other exhibitors onto hardstanding this year - just looking to confirm, and to try and find out where we'll be.
Edit: Doesn't say ALL clubs, just those clubs/exhibitors originally on grass who would have been affected by the weather...so presumably the Quattro and Integrale clubs will be left where they are! ;)

Will likely mean we'll be a little more crowded in than usual - will our expert car-parking marshal be there to help??? :D



PS - can't find an updated location map - Mike, have you been sent one?

[Ewan]

I'm thinking I might pop along on Friday... does anyone have a day ticket for Fri 20th they're looking to get shot of?

cheers!
Ewan

[havoc]

I do, but I'll need to meet you there as it's part of a 3-day ticket and I need the Sat and Sun for a mate.

Will PM you my mobile # Ewan - we can arrange time/place to meet, e.g. at the ticket collection tent.

Edit - Your PM inbox is full, have sent you an e-mail, let me know you've received it?

[sorepaws]

PS - can't find an updated location map - Mike, have you been sent one?

No new map so far - NSX are ok on mud as witnessed at the Goodwood FoS - at least we will have the Honda Pavillion

[Ewan]

Cheers Martin (Inbox now cleared :)) - hope to see you on Friday!

[sorepaws]

Please note :

Unfortunately due to the weather conditions if you did not receive a vehicle pass for the Fri-Sun then you will have to park in the public car parks and walk through. This is from the organisers with whom I spoke this morning.

Due to a 'double' booking that has been brought to my attention I'm not attending now and Sean (Senna88) has my tickets.

"If you need to amend your vehicles infield pass, please go to the event welcome centre where you will need to exchange the invalid car pass for a new one, if eligible to do so."

Yes, I've sent the full pack ...

.....NSX are ok on mud as witnessed at the Goodwood FoS - at least we will have the Honda Pavillion

I was quite impressed at how much of the Goodwood estate Y1 snaffled, most especially inside the rear wheel-arches!

Hi Mike,

Just to clarify...and it maybe a bit stupid of me asking if it is obvious......

You mentioned....people with passes fri-sun...

Does this mean if I am only comnig one day (sunday) then I should park in the public car park? and people with a pass that says fri-sun go the the main stand?

Cheers Mike for clarifiaction :)

See you guys sunday!!


If you have a vehicle pass for any or all of the days - SEE YOU ON THE CLUB stand

[sorepaws]

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - please read carefully.


To assist in making your entry into your club display area at this year's event as speedy and efficient as possible please ensure


1. That you arrive at the venue before 09:30 (thats morning !!)


2. That you have your infield display vehicle pass clearly visible in your front windscreen


3. That you have ALL your admission tickets available for inspection


4. That you have established the location of your club display area - your vehicle pass colour and number coresponds with those on the Map. 'B' indicates that you take the Bridge into the infield, 'T' that you take the tunnel into the infield, and 'G' that your display area is the grey zone adjacent to the track parade assembly area.


5. That you follow the CAR CLUBS directional signage, taking the left hand lane along the Dadford Road dual carriageway approach road to the venue turning left into CAR Park 49 - DO NOT PROCEED TO THE ROUNDABOUT as this will delay your progress.


6. That due to an increase in the number of spectators attending the Silverstonne Classic each year it is IMPERATIVE that vehicle movements on the infield between 1000-1700 are kept to a minimum.


7. Please read this at least twice before asking questions.


8. Tea and Coffee will be provided free courtesy of me


11428

We are just over the infield bridge on the left in the BLUE area

[havoc]

Anyone else on Friday coming from the M40? Ewan and I are meeting at the Premier Inn car park (~1 mile before S'stone heading up the A43) at 9.15am...be nice to get a small convoy together...

[WhyOne?]

Ian,

I was glad they dropped the hose ban here - I needed the pressure washer to get all the mud off.

Yes, it was well timed.

Though whilst I have the mud removed from Y1, I still have half of Lord March's estate sitting on my drive!

So what time do I need to get there for? :D :laugh: :D

[SILVER BULLET]

For those who are camping at Silverstone's Woodlands Campsite I have received the following information





CAMPSITE GROUND CONDITIONS ARE WORSENING




Dear Classic Racing Fans,
You will already be aware that abnormally wet weather has caused many Summer Events to be cancelled across the UK. The Silverstone Classic is not at risk and will go ahead as planned. The Campsite has done everything possible to service and prepare the site over the last month so that it can remain open despite these horrendous conditions. However, heavy rain in the past 24 hours has resulted in grass areas within Silverstone Woodlands Campsite becoming extremely waterlogged.
In spite of this unavoidable situation the Campsite will open as planned at 07:00 hours tomorrow, Thursday 19th July.
In view of the state of the ground it may take longer than usual to gain access to the Campsite and we would ask fans to bear with us while we deal with these unprecedented conditions. The local weather forecast indicates a vast improvement in conditions as the weekend approaches. In view of this it would help us if you were able to delay your arrival at the Campsite until the latest possible opportunity.
We would also urge fans not to arrive at the campsite in cherished vehicles or classic sports cars but to arrive in a practical vehicle, if possible one designed to cope with poor ground conditions. The underfoot conditions within the Campsite are extremely wet and muddy.
The Organisers cannot accept any responsibility for any loss or damage to persons or vehicles howsoever caused. This includes any cleaning or valeting costs.
Adequate resources are available to tow vehicles within the campsite area should they need assistance.
We will aim to allow cars to park on grass areas adjacent to camping plots however, if the weather conditions do not improve we will may need to implement further emergency wet weather parking plans which will involve campers having to drop off their camping equipment before driving back out to leave their vehicle in an external car park adjacent to the Campsite where secure parking can be provided on firmer ground.
Those persons displaying classic vehicles inside the circuit are strongly advised to leave their vehicle within the allocated club display areas of the circuit for the duration of the event.
The shuttle service from the campsite to the circuit gate will be fully operational over the weekend.
Please ensure that you come suitably equipped to cope with wet weather conditions. Even if the weather improves it will take time for the underfoot conditions to dry up. Wet weather footwear and clothing are an absolute necessity.
We thank you in advance for your understanding and co-operation.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY PRE-BOOKED FANS WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE CAMPSITE.
Please click here for additional Woodlands Campsite info. (http://www.silverstoneclassic.com/page.cfm/EMSLinkClick=142_36_36_113596_12244_2777)

We will aim to allow cars to park on grass areas adjacent to camping plots however, if the weather conditions do not improve we will may need to implement further emergency wet weather parking plans which will involve campers having to drop off their camping equipment before driving back out to leave their vehicle in an external car park adjacent to the Campsite where secure parking can be provided on firmer ground.
Those persons displaying classic vehicles inside the circuit are strongly advised to leave their vehicle within the allocated club display areas of the circuit for the duration of the event.
The shuttle service from the campsite to the circuit gate will be fully operational over the weekend.
Please ensure that you come suitably equipped to cope with wet weather conditions. Even if the weather improves it will take time for the underfoot conditions to dry up. Wet weather footwear and clothing are an absolute necessity.
We thank you in advance for your understanding and co-operation.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY PRE-BOOKED FANS WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE CAMPSITE.

just to make my weekend just that little bit better.......... arse!

Ground Report :

Well after a visit to our pitch this morning we are still on the grass. Most of the area is soft but ok as long as we don't drive over it too much. The guys from TigerRed are doing a splendid job putting up the Marquees for the S2000 club and us.

Upon arrival I hope to meet most people, the aim will be to reverse cars onto the pitch from the side then once in position - well enough said !

I aim to be there around 8:30 am - if anyone os going to be there before me please let me know

See you soon.

[havoc]

So much for 'all the exhibitors on hardstanding'...unless they just meant the commercial ones who'd paid a lot for a stand, not the car clubs who pay a nominal fee...

Ah well...some careful driving and it'll be fine...until at least Saturday lunchtime! :D

See you guys tomorrow!

[gumball]

Looks to be a nice spot, Silverstone kindly put us in a decent spot every year. A couple more days of good weather and the ground will be much firmer.

[sorepaws]

Anyone coming on Sunday we may have to split the parking we have a hard standing for 12 cars the rest will be on the grass by the marquee. Bring foot wear suitable for a little mud.

Hi Mike,

How bad is the ground for parking and walking around, going tomorrow so hopefully will have dried out a little ?

What about my beautiful (clean) red beauty...will it get muddy?

What time should I am to get to the stand/ Marquee?

[sorepaws]

I can't promise it will stay clean i don't know if you can avoid the puddles ... You can park on tarmac if its too precious to join the rest of us. Arrive anytime but the later you get there the longer the queue to get in.

Thank you to everyone that came along - in spite of the rather wet summer so far we had the best weekend - with 22 cars on the stand and a few others dotted about the place it was great. Nice to catch up with everyone and to see some new faces - start planning for 2013 how many can we get there ?

Big thank you to TigerRed for their support hard work and total enthusiasm over the weekend, without them it would have been a very damp Friday and even more sun burn on Saturday and Sunday.

How about a club dinner on the Saturday night ? Plan it now

[gumball]

Thanks all involved in the organization of the event and thanks Silversurfer for bringing your gaming stuff. Another excellent event, fine weather, fine cars, fine ladies too!
Just a pic of my favourite(car) of the day:

Mike, many thanks to you and all involved; you certainly earned your "papa parking proficiency certificate", great weekend.

[britlude]

well done to Mike, tigerred and all the owners for making the stand a success and good advert for the club and car!

shame about the rain, but hey-ho, can't be helped, but did give us the 'how far will they venture over the mud pond' game!

[havoc]

Thanks Mike - well-organised again! And to Tiger Red for a very airy-feeling gazebo, even in the rain...

3 of my favourites - deliberately no NSXs or F40s to be seen*

Date now set as 19th to 21st July 2013

As this seems to be the best supported NSXCB meet mayne we could have a big meet on either the Friday or Saturday night at the nearby Whittlebury Park Hotel where a few of us recently met when we had a wee country drive around the Buckinghamshire countryside.

I will speak to the Hotel Events manager and get some ideas/ prices
