All sounds a bit ghey if u ask me. what was wrong with how it was arranged last year?
Hi,
It's organised exactly the same as last year, but Cliosport are invited so you can join all the other clubs for the parade laps, competitions and evening party.
Emma has let me post on your forum (Many Thanks!) so I can try and answer a few questions:
Parking:
Will be infield near Redgate corner. Entrance via Coppice Tunnel. I believe this is close to where Cliosport parked last year.
There will be a large marquee with some vintage Renaults on display + a refreshments area. The sign in desk will also be here.
All vehicles will be parked by model, so all Clios will be together regardless of which club they belong too. i.e. all Williams together, all V6s together. Please can you try and stick to this where possible when you arrive as it keeps things simple and makes a better display for the public.
Remember your cars are the exhibits, that's why we ask for them to be as early as possible and also on both days if possible.
There is circuit access here for the parade, also a great view for the racing.
Passes:
A windscreen sticker will be sent shortly. You will also receive tickets for the driver and passengers if you don't already have them.
These will be sent out in two batches. The first this week and another just after the closing closing date.
Evening Gala:
This will be held in the new paddock suite (which was completed in April) at the circuit on Saturday night. There will be presentations by Meguiars, photos of the day, Renaultsport videos, and plenty of food and drink!!
You can reserve tickets in advance (on the registration form) and collect them on the day. You may still be able to purchase them without reservation if there are any remaining. Just ask at the registration desk. Entry will either be £10 or £15 per head depending on how costs escalate. This is a bargain as the food only cost per head is already more than this.
Insurance:
Giving insurance details is a requirement of all WSR events.
My understanding is that it is simply to check that all vehicles attending and driven to the event are insured.
Policies vary according to cover especially for more modern cars that are used every day. Most classic or collectors policies cover cars on static display for exhibition and some extend to a low speed non-competitive parade.
You will need to check with your individual insurer.
In practice the parade is fairly low risk. It is not a track day. If you are sensible there is unlikely to be a problem. I am sure that many participants do not always have the full required cover. This is of course at your own risk.
Competition or off-road only use vehicles may require specific cover.
Parade Laps
Non competitive low speed parade laps with safety cars at regualr intervals.
One parade on Saturday. One parade on Sunday. Subject to delay or cancellation following a major delay or incident in the race schedule.
Places are limited so will be allocated on a first come first served basis according to receipt of registration forms. If demand is extremely high parade passes may be allocated at random for Saturday & Sunday.
Additonal Info:
