I'm sure when I spoke to John he said 13:00 this time...Will double check. Will just have to move that one to the first in the afternoon if it is.

If he's said that, then fair enough! I'm pretty sure it said 12:30 in the previous comms from him.

Properly excited now. Been on to my insurers (Axa) who have confirmed that as long as I'm not being paid and the event is not for a company then I'm insured - result :thumb1:

I'm aiming to leave Leeds around 4.30 which should get me to Hinckley around 7 traffic permitting. I'll then be searching out food and beverage about 8. Who else is at the hotel who might be around? Where's best to meet?

Have you been on the M1 recently? About half the distance is 50mph average speed cameras - and it's Friday so some numpty in a caravan is bound to have an accident.

Deciding whether to stay on Friday night at a Premier Inn or drive up on Saturday morning early doors.

Early start for me, Phil. I'll be away for work part of this week and then leaving again for Dubai on Sunday morning so I'd rather day trip it, even if it does mean a silly o'clock start.

What time are you all planning on leaving the hotel to head for the track?

Have a request for the Brunty lot.....We need a white board for the entrance of the gate. I have one but cannot fit it in the car...Has anyone got one that would fit in the car that we could borrow for the day........

Also anyone that hasn't been before that would like someone who has been before to go out with them on the first sighting lap please let me know so we can plan before hand.

Thanks....

Yes please for a sighting lap. Cheers

Hi Phil - I'll be driving up early doors on Saturday.....what time do we have to get there to beat the traffic etc, and as such, what time would you recommend leaving Newbury?

Myself and Adrian certainly will be. The food in the front bar is decent enough; the restaurant has always been full!

Looks like the restaurant is actually shut. They're adding an MPW steakhouse but sadly not open yet.

Can't see a bar menu on line, but there's also Baranacles just down the road which has got some good reviews.

Still, can't be *that* hard :)

Gents remember you all need to be parked up before 08:30 ....... If you aren't you will struggle to get in......If you have a late session and wnat to come later that is OK but you will still need a brief before being let out on track.......08:15 would be ideal....If you don't get there that early you will be queuing for ages and miss the designated route for track cars.....that shuts at 08:30...

Remember you need you headlights on and your pass shown in the window to get to the designated route.

That would be great....Bring it along if you can I am sure we can put it to good use.
