Default SIDC Goes to the Car Tuner Grand Prix @ Donnington Circuit - 17th September

The SIDC are pleased to announce the we will be in attendance at the very first Car Tuner Grand Prix Show.

Date:

Saturday 17th September 2005 -- 9am - 2am

Venue:

Castle Donnington Racing Circut

Admittance:

£11 in advance -- you get a carpass with your entrance ticket for the SIDC stand -- Please book your ticket in advance online from the club shop available now .......http://shop.sidc.co.uk/index.cfm?cat_id=4


Details:

We will have a club stand in the infield of the circuit itself. The size of the club stand depends on how many book tickets so get online and order your tickets now!!!


For the first time in the UK, in association with Vauxhall VXR, a chance to see the UK and Europe's best tuning companies show what they do best - make the fastest cars money can buy!

Held at the World famous Castle Donington circuit see the best and brightest tuning companies compete against each other, against the clock for the title of Winner UK Tuner Grand Prix.
Vehicles can compete in different classes and an overall unlimited class so every vehicle type has the opportunity to win a title and trophy.
Entrants will be guaranteed an exclusive designated pit garage (only 29 are available) and extensive pit lane and trade village display area.
Crowds will be given full access to all areas including the pitlane itself ensuring maximum excitement and maximum exposure.

Simultaneously run alongside the main GP event there will be a fanatastic Drift Challenge on the World famous Melbourne Loop. The rules are simple - get it sideways and keep it there for as long as you can - an unbeatable spectacle. Entry to this event will be open to all but priority will be given to tuning firms entered into the GP.

Some cars are about straight line speed, so in the middle of the day the circuit will be closed and the back straight converted into a premier drag strip where entrants will be competing for the best 1/4 mile, 0-60mph and 0-100mph. Rolling road days can show quite a lot but nothing compares to actual racing!
If you tune or modifiy cars you have to be there to show the World what you can do and if you're into tuned motors then there will no greater event of the year - the Milltek Sport UK Tuner Grand Prix


For more details see the main site: http://www.tunergp.co.uk


Cruise Event --- The organisers have teamed up with CruiseSport and the BRSCC to put on another of their highly successful Cruise evenings. Straight after the Tuner GP we hand over to the CruiseSport team for a long night of track fun, ICE sound offs, show and shines and numerous events.




What's On:

- Tuner GP - Sprint race round the circuit

- Drag Strip Challenge - 0-60mph, 0-100mph and 1/4 mile

- Drifting Challenge - see the UK and Irelands best drifters compete against each other and the best the tuning firms can do

- Massive Trade Show

- Drift Acadamy - have a go at drifting yourself

- Club Stands

- Evening Cruize (In association with Cruize Sport)


I believe there are a few Subaru Tuners competing including Scoobymania, so as Subaru enthusiasts lets get behind them and cheer them to a win.


If you do book tickets and a pass, please post below to let us know who's attending.

Update::::

Its been a busy few months but we’re excited to announce that we now have 28 teams confirmed as entered into the GP with vehicles as varied from the Mazda MX5 to Porsche GT3’s. Almost all car marques are represented in almost every classification, we have entries from UK, Germany and Ireland.
As well as the tuner firms entered into the Drift Challenge we have also the UK’s top 25 drift specialists going head to head with the tuning firms best so the Drift Challenge is shaping out to be a real ‘best of the best’
Along with our media partnership with Unity Media Plc we’re now in negotiation with 3 different TV companies for coverage of the event itself for three different channels. EVO Magazine have entered a team and Top Gear are mulling over the idea as well, all we need is Car Magazine to come along and we can have a head to head to show who’s the quickest of the mainstream car journalists!
The Trade Village is rapidly selling out of space and we look to have filled the inner and outer paddocks with trade stands from such companies as Oz, Toyo Tyres, Turbo Dynamics and Track Club. Centre stage for the Trade Village is the massive screen TV which will show live action from the circuit and live track times of all the entrants in the GP and Drag Strip.
In the outer paddock we are delighted to pay host to the Drift Academy where anyone can try their hand at drifting themselves in one of their custom prepared MX5’s. The really good news is that the best participant from the crowd will get a wildcard entry into the Drift Challenge final!

We’ve been inundated with applications from car clubs and have over 30 wishing to attend and reserve space in the exclusive infield area – the entire infield (which offers some of the best views of the circuit) is exclusively reserved for car club parking with allocated areas for everyone. Everyone from the Vauxhall Sports Car Club to the Subaru Impreza Drivers Club are coming in force, some with over 500 cars expected!
Vauxhall VXR will have the new Astra VXR on show along with the mighty Monaro VXR (of which there are 2 entered into the GP, Drag Strip and Drift Challenge events) being driven by some celebrities. There will be passenger laps on offer in the VXR’s throughout the day.

Milltek Sport will have their entire range of sports exhausts on display including the new VXR range for the Astra, Monaro, Vectra and Zafira as well as their new systems for the Porsche 997, BMW E36 M3, the Audi S4 V8 and the Golf Mk 5 which will also be giving passenger rides round the circuit.
The evening activities are shaping up to be the largest Cruise event the UK has ever seen. In association with our cruise partners Cruise Sport, in the evening the drag strip is opened up as a RWYB event, so see if you can beat the times from the professionals, most of whom will be sticking around in the evening to let their hair down after the days competition. As well as the drag strip there will be the usual ICE displays, competitions and trade stands.
Finally we brought the Max Power Live Show at the NEC to a stand still with our joint stand with Cruise Sport. Response to the event (and the 8 scantily clad girls on the stand) was overwhelming so we’ve increased the ticket print run to 15,000.
Without shadow of a doubt the Car Tuner Grand Prix will be the largest car tuner event the UK has ever seen, be a part of it.

Update::

We're delighted to announce that Superchips, the UK's largest, leading car engine software developer are to sponsor the Drag Strip Challenge at the Milltek Sport Car Tuner Grand Prix. In the Superchips Drag Strip Challenge the main straight at Donington Park is turned into a custom drag strip. Using MSA approved timing equipment competitors are timed for the 1/4 mile, 0-60mph and 0-100mph before braking for Redgate corner - it will be spectacular!
A £1000 first prize awaits the fastest 1/4 mile time attained.

We're also delighted to announce the Superchips Drag Strip Club Car Challenge. The UK's leading car enthusiast clubs are all invited to enter their 'best members car'. Want to know who has the fastest Scooby or best Elise? Then fight it out amongst yourselves to pick the best in the club and enter the Superchips Drag Strip Challenge. There is a small entry fee to cover insurance costs for the event (£25) which gives you three runs up the strip to get the best time and the chance to win the £250 first prize and of course the bragging rights of fastest club car at the Milltek Sport Car Tuner Grand Prix.

Anybody know if any non-pro cars will get a chance to run on the strip in the 2 hours it runs during the day? Also whats the price for the RWYB in the evening....the same as the Drag challenge (£25 for 3 runs)?

Looks like it could be a good event

Just been in contact with the organisers.

£25 for 3 runs is for the RWYB in the evening (runs for 4 hours).

We get to nominate one car for the Drag-Strip Challenge for a club vs setup.

Needs to be a privately owned car, which is not running as part of a tuner entry.

Will try and generate some interest.

People should be aware that Donnington has a noise limit of 98db (drive-by).

I know this applies to the track and drift events. Can only assume it applies to the drag events too, although I await confirmation. It may well rule me out as I wont meet the noise limits.

Event organisers have confirmed that the 98db, drive-by limit applies to all the events: Drag, Track, Drift and RWYB.

It rules me out and may rule many others out too.

Ray it's £15 on the door per person.

You've booked tickets anyway??? Confused


You can pay on the door though if you wanted to but you won't get onto the club stand without a carpass 9Which you would get if you booked through the club shop)!!!!

Much cheaper to buy in the SIDC shop for £11 per person, plus you get a carpass. http://shop.sidc.co.uk/index.cfm?cat_id=4


Cheers,

Muddy
