You can opt into the Motoring Demonstration as part of the Runway application. I have, as you can do part of the Top Gear Test Track. They do say that it is advisable that due to a grass parade, 6" ground clearance is nessesary. Club members who did the parade last year will hopefully advise otherwise.

I think you got the only dry bit of the day then, it was pissing down for both runway runs!

Yes. Unfortunately the weather was against us that day. I think fifty per cent of the airshow side was scrapped. Our runway run was unexpected but due to the lack of airshow time we ended up being a filler. Also hence the low speed run, we were not actually sure at the time that we were supposed to be there! We just followed the lead.
I'm sure in a bright sunny day, it would be a very nice day out.

On a sunny day it is a very nice day out I think only about 10-20% of the aircraft made an appearance due to the appalling weather and low cloud. I still managed to do a speedo indicated 130mph though Now the weather can't do that to us twice, now can it Thanks for posting the videos What video system are you using? Nice touch with the map graphic and speed recording.

If you don't hear from them you can assume that your application has been accepted.

If anyone else wants to take part in the runway runs, the closing date for applications is 18th July, so you need to apply here quickly.

I'm not sure that we will have enough people for a static display area this year. Unless we get a surge of interest in the next couple of weeks, I won't be applying for a club zone. As tickets are only discounted, I suggest if you'd like to come just apply for advanced tickets and park with the rest.

Hi all, I have had a message through from the organisers of Wings & Wheels. They still have some spaces for Runway Runs. If you are quick you could still get to go. You have until the 6th August to get THIS application filled in and sent to the organisers. Go on, you know you want to

If I spend the whole weekend doing car things, my life will be short and painful! Let's hope for fine weather and a good crowd

I'm trying to get hold of them right now.
Neil Sinclair 01932 857281 x 244 is the one to talk to apparently, not the 01483 number on the ticket site.

OK, I have just spoken to them, they have an enormous cockup with their systems and have not got those of us who submitted an electronic entry down.
I have been asked to provide a list of real names to them asap to get things moving.
I know the real names of Pondman, Nismo, Thunderbox, begbie, hovedan,Cooperman, but I don't have the real name of Sharman.
Obviously they will need addresses to send tickets to so please pm them to me, as it is possible that the ones we have on the club membership database could be out of date.
EDIT I will also need registration numbers please.

I have been able to gather everyone's details except for Sharman's and have sent them off to the organisers.
They expect to get back to me tomorrow.

Don't know what they are doing yet Chris, but hopefully will find out tomorrow.
I will update as soon as I have something back from them.

Hi all, just caught up with this now having just got in. Well that's spooky, I too tried to get hold of Niel Sinclair today too, how funny. To also see what was going on! But got no reply from reception let alone the man himself. No record of entries! OMG What an almighty cock-up, this system of not letting you know if you are entered or not is not fit for purpose! What a shambles it makes Brooklands team look. And that is being polite! Pete, thanks for taking the reigns, let me know if you need further info for me and any additional help in organising it. Let's hope they now pull their finger out!

They have screwed up royally and there is no place for us in the demonstrations but have offered 2 complementary tickets to the event to each of us.Wings and Wheels; Dunsfold Aerodrome; Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th August 2014 Motoring Demonstrations
Important Notification
Dear Applicant
We have been overwhelmed by applications for the runway motoring demonstrations this year and recently the extent of a problem with some electronic entries which meant they were not registered at the time of application has become clear.
It has become necessary to limit the number of cars running on each day and therefore I have to inform you that it will not be possible to process your application.
Our sincerest apologies for this late development, rest assured that steps will be taken to prevent a recurrence for the 2015 event and that details of those who have been affected by this will be noted so they can be given suitable priority treatment for next years event.
By way of apology we would like to offer 2 complimentary Adult Day ticket(s) for this years event. If you would like to receive these please advise the name and address to which they should be sent by e-mail to eventsadmin@brooklandsmuseum.com. . It will however be necessary to park in the public parking areas as the motoring demonstration paddock will be allocated solely to those cars running that day.
Thank you for your support and forebearance
Neil Sinclair
neilsinclair@brooklandsmuseum.com 01932857381 ext 244
I have said that we are not happy, this is the email I sent in return:Hello Ian,
Thanks, but that is not really the answer is it?
You have all the addresses of these disappointed people, so I suggest you send them the complementary tickets without any delay.
People have booked a place in this event since February and to be quite honest I cannot see them being at all happy with this offer.
I am certainly not.
As we all expected to be taking part in the demonstrations we did not even book a club space where we can gather. It simply is not the same being an individual in a crowd without having our own meeting place.
Perhaps you would like to arrange that for us?
We need space for the coupes and a 3m square event shelter.
I suspect that our members will be most reluctant to set aside space to participate next year unless you do something to rectify the appalling booking method where applicants are not informed unless they have been unsuccessful. They have been under the impression that they would be putting on a show for the public for 6 months now and have made arrangements to do so, at the same time enjoying a day out.
It does not extend simply to Wings and Wheels.
Our members participate in all the AutoItalia events at Brooklands, I cannot see them being as keen to attend as in the past.
Ultimately this could reflect on your revenue. Even now I have an email waiting for me from Phil Ward asking me if we will be going to the Autumn Motorsport Festival.
I will make the contents of this email available to those who expressed an interest together with the attachment you sent.
In the meantime, perhaps you could consider the merits of arranging a Fiat Coupe Club pitch as some sort of recompense.
Regards,
Pete Pearson. FCCUK President.

OK.
We now have a club stand on each day so please let us have a good turnout to demonstrate, as Thunderbox suggests, that we can organise a pissup in a brewery.
They have missed the post tonight so tickets and passes will be sent out 1st post tomorrow morning directly to participants.
We are getting 2 tickets per car, the wristbands will need to be saved for admission on Sunday if you are doing both days.
Unfortunately we will have a different pitch each day so can't leave stuff up overnight.
We need to be there before 9am latest both days as the public start coming in then. Gate staff will be on duty much earlier than that to let us in.
I still don't have an address for Sharman, so they are sending his tickets to me.

Thanks again Pete for firing a rocket up-em! It seems a bit odd that they should send me a reminder to join in, in July if they were "over subscribed" I feel partly responsible for not chasing this up earlier, so sorry for that But as Pete and I have said the registration process is a joke! I doesn't take much for someone to send a simple email saying "Application received" & "Application accepted" now does it! I hope this doesn't put people off from coming in the future, it is a good day out if the weather is fine (let's hope). And you never know this almighty COCK-UP! might just change the very procedure of application, let's live in hope and pray for good weather

We now have family tickets which are being sent out by a different office. Hi Peter, I will post all your tickets tomorrow. You each have a family ticket instead of 2 adults tickets, as we are running very low on adult tickets so we are giving family away instead for you. This permits 2 adults and 3 children between ages of 5-15. So if you did have any that would like to join you feel free to bring them along at your leisure. I have sent you two for you and Sharman.
Best Wishes, Emily

Pete Many thanks for sorting this and I must say I'm quite disappointed with the whole last minute thing especially since I got the same email Ross mentioned about with extending the runway runs. I bet when they sent that email they hadn't realised a lot of people had applied and they hadn't received their electronic confirmation, until someone pointed something out and realised it was their up. Anyway, I'll be there on the Saturday

Until now I was unsure if I could make this one. Now I can, will there be a coupe area? It seems most if not all are taking part in the Runway. You need to read above, none of us will be doing the runway this year and instead, are having a club stand

Emily tells me that all the tickets have now been sent out so we should get them tomorrow.
Alex (Sharman) she has sent yours to me as they were done before she got your address, so I can either post them on to you (risky) or meet early Saturday and hand them over. Are you going to be there anyway with your Alfa? if so, it may be academic.

Do you need me to send on your coupe tickets in the post Alex or shall I give them to you on Saturday?
Demo pass does mean runway.

Shall we meet at the The Three Compasses close to the entry gate for the static display site or at Smithbrook Kilns which is just around the corner and where we met last year?

No strong views either way on this one although The Three Compasses is nearer the gate we use for static displays.

My personal preference would be The Three Compasses, as said, closer to the access point for the static site entrance I'll be going on Saturday as Joe is stealing my car at the end of the day

it's actually both days Ross, have a read of the accompanying letter which tells us our pitches for each day. That is probably why Emily told us to retain any wristbands for Sunday if we are doing both days. It covers 2 adults and 3 children.

Ross, you're swapping cars with Joe at the show on Saturday and not at my place Monday then? Saves Ross having to drive up on Bank Holiday Monday Neil, also means he gets those jobs done indoors for the Mrs And I think it will be indoors jobs on Monday too, watching the weather for then Oh well good excuse to see the Spa Circuit in action

1 hour to get off the airfield, then a further hour to drive 18 miles home. Just a single lane of traffic out through the exit gate.
It took 30 minutes to get there this morning.
Plus a marshall who could not see a bloody great green label in the windscreen going in.

Yes I did enjoy the day Ross, in spite of the organisers best efforts to spoil it I'm afraid to say.
I think I shall be going back for more tomorrow, but I shall leave at the crack of 4pm.

I will be there on Sunday, but just as a regular punter. Do you have a FCCUK area in the paddock with all the cars parked together? Hopefully I will get to see some of you and the cars during the day. The wife and children will be there so try not to ruin the 'they are so cheep to buy and run, practical, reliable' line I have been spinning.

Yes we have an area on the concrete behind the Brooklands Paddock. Number 187 to be precise.

Claire and I had a great day yesterday, weather was a little overcast but the rain held off. Seeing the two Lancasters and the Vulcan fly certainly made my day, we'd happily go again Shot of the club stand with a tiny Vulcan flying in the distance, for the older members yes you'll need your glasses to see it, I did Further shots of the day here.

Was there last year (Sunday) when the airshow was a partial washout. Would have liked to have seen the tandem Lancaster flypast this year.

Great day, albeit the occasional chill. Got lots of photo's which I'll sort out soon enough. Getting out was just plain stupid. If I followed the correct way, we would have been queued far longer than doing a 180 turn and cutting across the grass cutting out a queue of 100+ cars.
As for the conspiracy theory about us, I've read on Pistonheads that a few people also had their applications 'lost' and speaking to someone I used to work with, they had cocked up on their applications as well.
