Anyone on here going to the FCS / RTOC national day

Postby steveatyork » Fri Jan 12, 2007 2:46 pm

Anyone going tp the RTOC Nat day & French car show, Rockingham Speedway, on 15th July 2007,

Looks like it will be time to dig the tent out again :cry:

Just pinched this from the RTOC site :wink: dont think they will mind :roll:

What FCS says about their event:

This year we are proud to bring the Adrian Flux French Car Show to this awesome purpose built £70 million international entertainment venue. The first purpose built racetrack in the UK since Brooklands in 1908. With a 52’000 seated grandstand, cafes, bars, pedestrian tunnels to the pits and paddock trade and exhibition areas with pit garages. 360° roof top viewing of the circuit, live action arena, trade area and 0-60 drag strip.

Adrian Flux French Car Show is a thrill packed day of entertainment whilst retaining the true motoring enthusiast aspect of the event.

Attractions;

1.Brand new LIVE action arena with various top name display teams – new
2.Internationally renowned and prestigious race circuit – new
3.Trade area in paddock, and pit garage complex – new
4.Centrally featured 0-60 pit lane drag strip
5.Racing Challenge – 8 driver F1 Simulator to settle some scores!
6.2500+ club cars on display
7.The very best in car clubs, over 50 attended FCS 2006
8.UK’s top 25 French Cars
9.The finest of Eurocars from the continent

Adrian Flux French car Show……A show tailored for club members.

So you are all probably wondering what all this is going to cost you:

Entry is £5 per member, restricted to one ticket per member and is only available in ADVANCE through a hidden part of the FCS website, URL still to be added (£15 on the gate)
2hrs open pit lane is £15 (£35 from the FCS website for 30 min)

Might do the FCS, we went last year.

Need a few more cars though to make it worthwhile.

We had less than 10 and you really need 20+ to make a decent display.

If you want to do it post below and I can block book some tickets.

Does anyone that way want to volunteer to organise a pukka stand?

"pies", I think some 'cuisine' would be more appropriate.
I'm sprinting on the Saturday, but I'll go along "en dimanche".

5.The club is paying 60% of the advance ticket price, restricted to one per member

Yes and Yeheeeeeeeeeeeesssssss :!: But that was FCS .The RTOC nat day is combined with it this year .Last years RTOC was the trackday @ Bruntingthorpe and was an excellent day ,no real Chavness in sight .
Chav is good now and then 8) Bromely and the like can get a bit dull after the fiftyefff standard completely original TR4/6 and accompanying picanic basket

I know what my GTA can do....and it'll be doing it all year at sprints and hillclimbs......providing it works of course!! :lol: Its a bit of a trek for a play day and it clashes with Kames, one of my championship rounds so I definitely wont be going. Also I dont like the idea of having to rub shoulders with so many Saxo drivers all in one go.....overdoses arent good for you!! :lol:

Rockingham's a good venue for spectators.
I can't commit for certain, but I'll probabley go.
