DRIFTWORKS D1 exhibition at Silverstone

Post by CosmosblueMR2 »

Hi all..
Getting into the swing of being an IMOC Event Organisor :mrgreen:

I would recommend the Covered Grandstand Seating - sit where you like, next to who you like and under cover knowing the great british weather ! :roll:

I think the grandstand may me a ticket to sit rather a numbered seat, but dont quote me :eye:

Want to know if the organisers are gonna allocate a club parking area, as that'll be nice and secure. They did it at GT Battle, so fingers crossed.

If there is club space, lets just have a UK MR2 club area 8-[ =D>

getting good at this.. I blagged the organisors number .. and rang them :wink:

right first up the tix.. for seating in the grandstand the seats are not numbered - so this actually works in our favour if everyone buys grandstand tix as then you can choose to sit next to who you like 8-[

Onto the club stand ....
they will be charging £3 per square metre for the display area.... this will be AWAY from the general public car parking in a "display" area.. whatever that is :-s

but they say for cars basically it will be 8sq metres per car at a cost of £24 per car :-k

if we have say 10 cars then by my maths it's gonna cost about £240


don't think it's worth it personally as you have to pay for the ticket ontop of that. [-(


still you asked the Q's and i have given you the A's :eye:
