Different tesco Dave. The one I meant is right next to MBW , KT130XF Barnes Wallis drive

from the website
The timetable for the day is as follows:

8.00 Gates open (ticket holders)
8.30 Gates open (general entry)
9.00-11.00 Track signing on (for pre-booked entrants)
10.00 Museum displays and aircraft open

They must have changed the times from last year then .

Well, looking at gate opening times ..... and considering travelling from all parts of the country, a meet before is highly improbable (great word that)

Yes I thought that after posting, but it would be a very short 1.5 mile convoy back up to the "Italian Cars only" entrance off the B374, hardly worth bothering with IMHO especially given the early opening time (but same as previous years IIRC?)

Yeah i agree with you there, it's not worth it for the sake of a convoy, was just thinking of somewhere close for patch's idea of pictures.
Personally It's pre-meet and convoy from the ace for me, even though it's quite a diversion it adds a cool element to the day

So how many convoys there going to be ?
1 - from ace cafe

What time are you aiming to get there ?...I go past Ace at least twice a month on a journey to South London, and even on a Sunday it can take forever ! If you are coming from out of London its much easier to go round the M25..I,m stopping at my daughter in Tooting and even from there google reckon 40minutes

If there is a convoy from Tescos I am up for it

+1 for tescos

I would love to show mine again this year but it's looking a bit sorry for itself.😕

it will be quiet on a Saturday morning 7/8am

Bit of spit and polish Liam? go on, would be good to see you there.

Well, got clearance from the Football club, set a date to exhange on the house - 29th. So, I am a definite for this. Great!!! Been away so long this will be my first car event in years, so happy days!!

See you there

Phil has just let me know that there are still a few track places left and that he has now opened it up to spectators who can pre-book until 267th April.

A number of us have previously been to Longcroft, either to a rolling road session or as part of an AutoItalia photoshoot with our coupes and it's an interesting day out.

It's just off the M3 by Longcroft Studios on this map. Access is from Chobham lane.


AUTO ITALIA DRIVING EXPERIENCE
Friday April 29th

Places are still available for the Auto Italia Driving Experience to be held at Longcross test track on Friday April 29th.

This is not a conventional track day that places stress on both cars and drivers but an opportunity for owners to demonstrate their skills. The 2-mile circuit includes fast straights, banked corners and a hill in the ‘forest’ section. The demanding nature of the course requires the use of pace cars to control the groups of cars.

Because the venue is not open to the public, attendance needs to be pre-booked. In the first instance Italian car owners should apply to the organisers with details of the car that they wish to enter. Subject to entry acceptance the cost will be £100 per car and £25 for a nominated additional driver. An optional Italian buffet lunch is available at £25 per person.

SPECTATOR OFFER !
Spectators are welcome at this private event strictly on a pre-booked basis. Come and see exotic Ferraris, Maseratis, Alfa Romeos and top Fiats being driven at high speed.
The entry cost is £25 per person with a free Italian buffet lunch and paddock access. Offer ends April 27th.

For all bookings contact Phil Ward on mail@philwardevents.com
