Quite interesting Pete ....... the guy filming it is certainly not the fastest in that race by any account but I timed three of his laps and he did laps in 1.01 mins, 1.03 and 1.01 whithout any traffic issues.

For those coming simply to spectate and possibly have passenger seat rides bear in mind that this is a 'closed' type circuit.
Not sure what this particular event's rules will be but all track cars need to be INSIDE the circuit for signing on and then the exit will be closed until lunchtime. You may be able to blag your way inside providing you are there early enough. The alternative is to use the footbridge if you arrive later.
(Oh by the way, all pets, animals, kettles etc are banned from this circuit) :sad3:

Suggest you try this hotel. Just around the corner from the one we all stayed at and on the correct road for Mallory Park as well.
If you stay further away (en route) you would have an even earlier start on Saturday morning as we MUST be there on time or won't get on track as closed off when racing starts.

Heath has spoken to Mallory and they do have garages with power
I remembered you posted this when I booked and just had another look on the website.....this is what it says:
"We do not charge for use of garages, and all pit garages are taken on a first come, first served basis. Should you wish to reserve a garage (in case of late arrival) you can do this at a cost of £25. Please note that unless a garage is reserved, BaT reserve the right to allocate garages at any time during the day - to give shelter for open-top cars for example."
Shall we take a chance or reserve a garage ?

Just to confirm I am booked up at the Meridian for both nights, so if anybody is thinking of defecting to Hinkley/Malory then book me a spot too and let me know :) :) :)
Did you guys notice that there is an Eric Butler-Henderson booked.
As it's an unusual name I wonder if it's Vicky's brother or relative.
Yes I mentioned that on page 2 and nobody noticed, but don't mind me, I'll just talk to myself :( /duh :P :bigcry:

OK, I'm also paid up now ...........
I've devised a plan in respect of the Ruf Porsche. Derek, Heath and Pete will drive alongside each other for at least one lap holding up the Porsche ...... whilst I follow with video on. At an agreed signal, I will accelerate hard past the Porsche and at the same moment Pete will suddenly move forward, making a gap to let me through.
Editing the video afterwards will make it look as if the VR4 pi$$ed on the Porsche!
Lol, I'd love to really do that and post it on the Porsche forum ......... mind you, Kev should be able to do that shortly.

We managed to get an excellent deal with Holiday Inn. We are staying off J2 of the M6 (Coventry), so we can get straight onto the M69 in the morning - it's 19miles from Mallory.
Hotel has indoor pool, sauna, gym etc and it's less distance to travel on the Friday. And all for just £42 :2thumbsup
Of course it means we will just meet you guys there on the Saturday morning.

If you are going to arrive at that time then I suggest you try and get inside like everyone tracking. You will then be with us all as a group.
It may be that you will be able to drive straight in without any questions asked but if the guy on the gate does ask questions just say that you are with me as a passenger on track (Richard Davies car reg: R 298 UDD). I doubt it will be a problem.
I don't know what time you want to leave so bear in mind that once inside you are trapped until lunch time or when the day finishes at about 17.00.
I'll PM my mobile in case you want any help.
We are just packing what seems like half a Jessops and Currys superstore stock and will be heading off before lunch.
We are meeting up with some reprobates enroute and should arrive sometime before midnight, all being well.
My guess is that we will also leave the hotel around 7.15 - 7.30 tomorrow morning, so will see you guys there :2thumbsup

Now if anyone wants a got in my sucide seat then please bring a spare helmet , on side note does anyone know the age limit for PAX laps ( young not old )
Spirit
20-10-2006, 11:17 AM
I did look about ages and it says minimum of 16, but it's at their discression. I was hoping to see if they will let me take Conor out (even if at lunchtime), but he's only 10 so I doubt it.
Wayne will want some pax laps - don't forget your helmet Wayne !
I see there are 3 x 20mins sessions per hour. So I reckon 7 sessions each during the day.
If the circuit is 1.3miles, and an average lap is approx 1min then I reckon you could look at say 17 laps per session - to allow for a warm up and cool down lap.
17 laps x 1.3miles = 22 miles per session x 7 = 154 miles @5mpg = 31 gallons of fuel = 140 litres = £140 in fuel ???? /lol
