2 more tickets just purchased from the forum shop. No room required as unfortunately my wife and I can only be there for the Sunday. Thanks Angus! :D

Thanks for all the ticket purchases guys - this is really helping. Because of those, and the surplus from sticker sales, we can just about afford to have a 3m x 6m marquee as Excel HQ at Hethel and the afactory team are going to provide a table and chairs for us too.


Keep those orders coming - numbers are getting limited!

Tickets arrived today thanks.

Claire and I will be arriving Saturday afternoon and leaving Monday morning so can probably help with setting up and will certainly be there to help pack up on Sunday night.

I'd be happy to have our car on the stand if needed but it's far from concours standard.

Looking foward to it already.

Saturday 13th - demo laps on the full test track- I believe £20 a time.
Sunday 14th - demo laps on south circuit - similar price.
As Angus says the north part of the circuit will be used for parking with, I understand, Lotus cars on the back straight/runway and otherson the grass between that and the factory straight.

Hmmm - no power available in the marquees - does anyone have access to a generator or something similar which we can use to power a couple of laptops ? (I have one that can run from a cigarette lighter socket).
