Default URGENT - Can you make it to Prodrive Warwick TODAY at 12pm?

Guys

We need about 10 cars and drivers tomorrow from 12:00pm to test some new WRC technology by driving round the Prodrive test track.

This won't be an all out blast, but you'll be part of testing technology used on every car on the world rally championship.

I appreciate its late notice, but let me know if you can make it and I will confirm.

Cheers

Simon

Thanks guys..

Please keep an eye, I'll post something up later this evening, but John and MT, assume you're coming barring any major changes this end.

The test tracking in Fen End, near Kenilworth. Its less than an hour's drive from Northampton, up the M1, then M45.

Cheers

OK Guys

Anyone who fancies it, please leave their name here and I'll post in the morning to confirm.

John and MT, you're both confirmed, assuming you can still make it.

All the best

OK. You're need to get to :

ISC Technologies
Prodrive Warwick
Oldwich Lane East
Fen End (nr Kenilworth)
Warwickshire
CV8 1NR

Could you please call Linsey on 01676 531600, tell her you're from ScoobyNet and give your ScoobyNet Username, your Real Name and Car Registration.

When you arrive at the security gate say you're from ScoobyNet and they'll direct you to us.

Ideally if you can be here for 12pm for briefings, etc. If you won't be able to make it by then, please let us know.

Thanks guys.. look forward to seeing you later.

To be honest, it won't be a big spectator event.. but you're welcome to come and drive round. It won't be high speed, so there won't be any tyre damage, etc.

Sorry

Thank you to everyone who turned up to help.

It was a very successful test, and you can now have the pleasure of watching the wrc tv show and seeing the technology in action which was in your car (look out for the silver roof pods).

Thanks again

Was looking out for the white SN car

Had a good time. Unfortunate that noise restricted things a little.

Any chance this will be happening again?

Please, please (stretches arm higher up in the air than anyone else!)
