Silverstone Classic 2015 - July 24/25/26

[dylbie]

Greetings all,

I've just noticed that tickets have now gone on sale for the 25th Silverstone Classic. I actually noticed this on Facebook and panicked as work's leave was already double booked. Anyway, some grovelling and sweet talking later, I've managed to swap and got the whole weekend and surrounding days off! Waahoo!

I shall be taking my motorhome, and will be getting the MR2 roadworthy for the first time in 3 years specially for this event.

I don't know if anything's already been arranged as it's still early, but I'm massively looking forward to doing the MR2 30th Anniversary parade lap.

So, who's in? I take it the club will be getting discounted tickets and such?

Hi Dylbie,

Yes, this is going to be our big event of 2015!

30 years of the Mk1 and 20 years of this club!

I'm hoping to get at least 30 Mk1's on the parade lap, which will be a great sight to see. It would also be cool if we could get an MR2 area on the campsite.

The club gets a 2 for 1 promotion on tickets, which makes it great value! I recommend arriving on the Thursday evening and enjoying the full line-up on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Words can't describe how big and exciting this event is! It's going to be a cracker!

Status Quo are confirmed as the headline music act too, for those that are interested.

As the event and dates have now officially been announced, you should see some information crop up on here soon.

Cheers,
Tom

Club Chairman

Thanks Tom. I was blown away by it all last year! Do you know if the other MR2 clubs are getting involved too? And also if the Mk2s and Mk3s are invited too?

[tommundy]

I'm going to get in touch with the other clubs to see if their Mk1 owners wanted to join us. No plans for the later marks as of yet. Lots of options though!

What day will the lap be on Tom?

Mine will be coming evening if it has to be towed round!!

[tommundy]

Not sure yet Alex. Will let people know as soon as I do.
