Silverstone Classic 2014
Re: Silverstone Classic 2014
I wouldn't worry too much about the reg, as long as you have a pass. Last year when everyone drove in together and parked up (for ages ) before moving on to the "stand" I doubt any regs were checked.
That said I'm probably just going to make my own way straight in as it was a bit of a long winded exercise driving in with all the Zs - missing out on some excellent free RC car time.

But your right, I won't be volunteering to join a queue to get in

Re: Silverstone Classic 2014
I have just rung to book my car, driver and passenger on to the parade lap and was told as my passenger is between 11 and 16 he will have to sit in the rear seat!
Like a fool I was quick to point out that a Z3 doesn't have rear seats and was told in that case he couldn't take part in the parade lap.
We have had no problems the last 2 years but this year it is being organised by an insurance company who seem to be a little more rigid in applying the rules.
It is not good for us but at least I will get to see the parade lap rather than being in it.

Re: Silverstone Classic 2014
Got my tickets now and read through the rules for the parade lap. 12 to 16 year olds can sit in the front, it is 8 to 12s that have to sit in the back.
Looks like I won't be able to watch from the sidelines after all, oh dear!!

Re: Silverstone Classic 2014
Only a few days to go now! I've had an email about picking up tickets (won't forget to bring them with me this way!), but don't know where & when to meet up on the Saturday. I'll be camping just opposite the track, so won't be joining in any cruise. Does anyone know which gate we should be going in - presumably we'll gather up then be escorted to the correct infield location.
Thanks for any help - don't want to miss out on anything.

Re: Silverstone Classic 2014
To where to go everything is explained on the back of your "blue" ticket.

Re: Silverstone Classic 2014
Thanks. Will get that sorted when I pick up the tickets then.
Re: Silverstone Classic 2014
Had a similar conversation with Neil today from A-Line insurance, unfortunately they are no longer processing wristbands for the parade lap at their office, it must be done on their stand next to the BMWCCGB stand. He also informed me that there has been no time agreed for the lap and children between the ages of 12-16 must sit in the rear of the car. I am guessing A-Line have not received the Track Parade instruction documentation that has been issued with the tickets?wildeboy wrote:I have just rung to book my car, driver and passenger on to the parade lap and was told as my passenger is between 11 and 16 he will have to sit in the rear seat!
