I'll bring my Bone Dome and would love to come out in both of your 'faster than my car' cars...

Never be out on track before so i won't be giving it a go in mine

I also feel the need for a fleese. Will RS246 stuff be available?

I've already booked a lap or two with DavidT

Put me down for a fleece or two too please.

So you're a definate then Clive, Be good to see you again

Are you staying in the hotel or driving down on the day?

Still tentative Mark, but we hope to make it - as you say, would be good to see you (and others) again

If we're going to be there for the early morning line-up, photos, etc, then we'll travel down the night before and stay in the same hotel - so get the beers lined up...

Anyone know if MRC are going to be at this?

Also I want pickup some bits from Merlin Motorsport whilst I'm there. Can they be accessed from the site or are they outside?

MRC will not be at this event, don't know about Merlin, sorry.

Merlin is based on the circuit and they will be accessible during the day IF they're open. They do tend to be but it might be worth giving them a ring first to check. They're located in the paddock area, behind the refreshment block along with the driving school

Thanks. I'll give them a ring

Just checked the weather forecast for this event and it should be dry and bright with sunny spells and a maximum temperature of about 16C. I shall certainly be putting the track rubber on now

Cool, about as good as you can hope for at this time of year

It's the current weather that is putting me (and mostly my GF) off from attending. Shame it's not earlier in the year.

Weather should be OK. I've got my wife and 4year old daughter coming...

Best put an order in for one of our RS246 coats then!!!!!!
Have fun guys.... I'm sure the day will be better than that forecast for the Eiffel mountains..

I hope theres going to be plenty of RS246 goodies to choose from...
