Hi Russ one our old cars will be there racing in historics. If you see him go and have a chat, the car is the orange 69E which they have used on the link you added. It should be a great weekend.

Thanks

Not quite , I booked my tickets online through the MSV website for a total of £11 . For that I got entry for two for all three days and a parade lap on the Sunday morning , pretty good value I'd say . I'll probably only go on Sunday and Monday but it would be worth doing if you only fancied it for one day . I used the word Porsche in the promo code bit . You should have a drive over James , always a good event .

I'd be the same Andy but I might be taking my lad and he's never been round before . Besides I think you've got to be there for about 9.30 .
Will you be in the car ?

I got the impression from their website that there will be an allocated parking area for 911's & another allocated area for all other Porsches.

I usually watch the first couple of races at Lodge corner then head over to Cascades after lunch , and finish the day of by driving out of the circuit and round to Hill Top ( best spot for photos IMHO ) but I'm guessing as it will be busy they'll probably send us over to park facing the Avenue .

I normally park around the hill top side. Indeed it's great for photos! No long lens needed and no barriers in the way.

I guess if we are 'parading' we will have to go where they tell us first thing, but I may go around to hill top afterwards if we are allowed out :)
