A sticker is required to participate in any part of this event. Even if you intend just doing a short part of the convoy you will need to be registered and display an official sticker on the front of your car & it MUST be clearly visible to event Marshals throughout.

This is a condition of Police permission for the convoy.

What's happening at Prodrive Banbury on Sunday?

Cars from all over Europe will converge on the Banbury facility for 10am (Marshals to be on site at 9am). The heritage centre and the Subaru World Rally Team workshops will be open for you to explore. There will be a BBQ serving hot breakfast rolls. Please follow the Marshal's directions when it comes to parking as they have a LOT of cars to fit in!



What about the Banbury to Warwick Convoy?

At 12:00 the convoy will depart from Prodrive Banbury heading to the Prodrive facility at Warwick and will be led by Colin's 1996 World Championship Impreza.



What happens when we get to Warwick?

When you arrive at Prodrive Warwick you will be split into three Categories of traffic by Marshals:

CAT 1) THE FAST LANE If you have followed all the rules, drive a Subaru and have a Gathering sticker clearly displayed somewhere on the FRONT of your car you will be given a site plan along with details of what's happening where and when for the day and waved through in a matter of seconds with a welcoming smile! You will be one of their favourite people as you've listened, paid attention and complied with things making their job easier and the traffic flow smoother. From the gatehouse you should follow the directions of other Marshals to the designated parking areas.

YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAT 2 & CAT 3 ARE. TRUST ME.

Please think ahead Have a full tank of fuel when you get to Thurrock.

Monday, 28 July 2008

With just one month to go until the largest Subaru event the world has seen we're sure you're wondering (as are we!) where we're at in terms of the numbers of cars attending. A quick run of a report and a bit of de-duplication and, if everybody turns up, we have an amazing

880!

cars registered so far with more coming in daily! That doesn't include the Polish guys who are coming over who we don't have exact numbers or Registration Number details for yet or a few of the local guys in Scotland who got their stickers early and aren't yet on the database. That should take us over 900!

We know some of you are tentative and it depends on work and (thanks to the Government's policy to price us off the roads) finances at the time, but this is going to be massive and not to be missed!

If you have bought stickers for others and used your own registration number when ordering, please let them know their details so they can update their database.

More on the event soon as things really start to ramp up!




My shirts came today.

Excellent vid really looking forward to this

 

Looks like I'll be coming along with you all, I''ll have a car full as well

This will be the first time I've attended an ESC event so go easy on me, I'm quite shy to start with as well!
Is anyone going to be wearing their pink shirts or are you all wearing the shirts made for the gathering?

 

You'll be fine. The ESC are known for their friendly nature towards first timers.

There will probably be a mix of the Colin McRae shirts & our ESC ones. I don't think everyone has got the official white one but most have got the pink.

Mark

 

For those who have not ordered McRae shirts ...

This will be a .......


PINK SHIRT EVENT

Oh & a two way radio set to channel 1 will also come in very handy
