Indeed that is the fairest way.

I will contact Phil Ward this week to see how many places will be available for us.

You can't get tickets through the club, but you can buy them on line from Brooklands Museum..

Or at the gate on the day.

I have received his reply this morning.

There is no limit to the number of coupes who may go on the test hill, you need to simply register on the day.

For the track session, there is space for 5 coupes only. He has asked me to give him names as soon as possible.

As suggested earlier, we will give people who have not done a track run in previous years first chance to participate.

So, if you haven't done it before and still want to have a go, please let me know. I will need both forum names and real names please.

Let's say by Sunday afternoon. If there are more than 5, then club members will get priority.

edit Note all track session drivers will need to show their driving licences at sign in.

I did it in the 16NA the year I piled my glider into the ground and broke my back in three places; raised a few hundred quid for the Air Ambulance thanks to the kind sponsorship of members here.

Nobody fell asleep... even though I was still walking with sticks!

We will all be together.

Go to the gate signposted for Italian cars only. A marshal will point you in the right direction to our area once you are inside.
