Nope no tickets yet , Im finding out about what ythey want us to do regarding tickets when i call there office tommorow , Ideally pay on the day as it's late to start paying for tickets now

Id be very suprised if you can get in the pitlane , I Know the TA Cars will be here & they have only been allocated a very limited number of passes for pitlanne access

Meet bottom of M1 (TBA ) ?

captain is up for bringing the wagon. think we need 11 spaces! sure we could squeeze an extra one in!

 

There is usually pit access at Lunchtime, at all other times the security/access was quite tight at Donnington. (Although we did manage to hide the fact we had Simon with us all day last year!)

**** me how hard is it to get a few cars parked up @ a show

Called Abbie @ the " Live promotions " Office today & as i thought through various e mails , This whole show / Set up seems to be a money grabbing event

She wants me to pay up front for a club stand @ £ 30 Each for a " Show Car " & £35 Each for every passenger

Im sorry but im not forking out over £300 Just to park a few cars @ a show.

Im not to keen on going to Donnington & parking in the general car park either ( Heard lots of horror stories of pikies , nicking parts of cars , Stealing cars etc , So general parking for me is out of the question

As it stands im 99% bailing out of this now

Sorry guys i gave it my best shot , I Will be supporting @ a couple of the other rounds where the guys @ TA Sort the club parking & not some tart sat in an office

 

Well done for trying mate.

Not like it's a major track event, £35pp Is it RWYB F1 cars?

 

Bloody hell thats extortion and i fully understand your decision Tiny...

 

LOL Yeah mate bit much isn't it , To be fair mate they are really only interested in having everyone there for both Sat & Sun , The price above does include overnight camping & saturday evening entertainment

But not to clever for us if only attending on the Sunday

 

Looks like you might have a lucky escape by not coming up.....

7 day Weather forecast - Local UK weather - Netweather.tv

SNOW

 

I've heard that too

 

Oh yes put ...

"Cars nicked @ Donnington " Into Google

Plenty of reading there , And why i will not be leaving my car 1. Where i cannot see it , 2 In the public car park

From last years event

 

im out
i only signed up when there was a chance of secure parking
they would have a field day with mine in the public parking
may go in the c2 instead
they can have that one

budgie

 

looks like they've cottoned on to people wanting their cars to be safe at donnington!

 

My car is only just having the parts put back on so dont want them being taken off

 

Hopefully i'll be parked behind pitlane.

 

Perhaps a group email with those pictures attached should be sent to the lovely Abbie in the " Live Promotions " Office.

And a request that they should be paying US to risk bringing our cars.

Mark

Mark is pi$$ed off that there are vultures out there

 

FFS...

I might go in the Sport Wagon, with 2 sets of locking wheel nuts

I'll have a couple of spare seats if anyone is interested

 

Yes matt , Nail on the head that comment mate

The bird @ Live promotions was more than happy to tell me ...

" Well Sir to show your car it's going to cost you £30 & £35 For everyone of your passengers ""

With an anticapated 1800 Cars attending , Its not rocket science

Rob Barnes ( Time attack ) Has been in touch & promises to sort us out with proper allocated parking & future TA Events where LP Are not involved with the organising

Oulton Park & Snetterton The ESC Massive will be parking safetly

 

perhaps we should promote some events mate. nice bit of sponsor money for mike.

i'd rather give mike the £30 that put it towards getting into donnington!

 

public parking unless i take the van....

 

All spaces in the pitlane are pre-allocated, you maybe lucky and just leave your car in there and hope - I did that last year, but there are twice as many teams this year, so they will prob be stricter.

Failing that there is a fenced off parking area for trailers/transporters/support vehicles. This area is covered by the security guard at the barrier.

 

Guys, the way the show organisers have behaved is poor.

But please don't lose sight of the fact that the reason for going was not the ISTS show, but to watch some of the finest modified cars in the country compete in Time Attack and Support Mike at the first round.

An awful lot of effort has gone into getting Mikes car ready for this year, including the efforts of many people on here, so please don't let the ISTS's poor attitude reflect on the real event, I know Mike would be thrilled to get as much ESC stylee support as possible.

Cheers
Neil

 

Im still interested in going and can take 2 others in the van if wanted...

 

As I've said I'll have a little room, should be able to take 3 others if anybody wants a lift

 

In fact think i can squeeze three in the back of the van..

 

dont get me wrong neil
i would love to go and watch the guys
not just mike
also dill, dynamix and lister
and hope to go to some of the other events
we may still go but the citroen is up for sale and may be gone by then

budgie

good luck mike if we dont make it

 

I would rather grab a lift mark if you have space? Petrol costs can be split too saving everyone money
