BMWCCGB Zedfest, 20 – 22 July 2012, Silverstone Circuit

[Eurohooner]

Righto - two more Z4's for your list - just booked Saturday tickets for a Blue Coupe and a Red Coupe for me and jaRED (and the sprogs). See you there - and hopefully on a run somewhere beforehand

Thinking we'll camp somewhere nearby off-site.

Just booked for me and my eldest on the Saturday and will be heading down from near you so looking for some fellow cars from this area.

[Bing]

myredzed, got 2 questions... I want to bring my son, who will be 12, so if I buy the discounted Saturday tickets I get 2 adult early bird entries including the vpass for £50, bargain as Wee Bing can use an adult ticket I assume. However if I buy the normal single adult ticket plus a child ticket it's £45. So -

- do I need the vpass to get infield, and so won't be part of the 500 if I don't have one ?
- is there a car club deal for 1 adult and 1 child, or am I stuffed with the full-price discounted ticket ?

Sorry if I sound like a tight git, but it's more on principle than anything else - I just dislike the niggling feeling that I am paying for something, but getting less benefit out of the transaction than the seller. Of course, if I have no choice then c'est la vie, but there's no harm in asking

We are planning to go. Add us to the list.

We should have a number plate for our Z just in time to buy a pair of tickets and a vpass.

I pondered the same thing but then went for the ticket to be sure of being part of the whole event. My 13 year old is coming and have just gone with the early bird plus V pass.

May just do this - have to say that it's really pleasing so many people (well, 4 or 5 ) are bringing their kids

Mine are vetrans of a few forum meets, so they know what they're in for, and thay've been made very welcome by all the forumites we've come across. Otherwise 2 * 15 year old girls tagging along could have been tricky Everyone's welcomed at our meets

Just to confirm what others have indicated, you'll need to get the deal with a vpass (i.e. with the adult tickets) to get into the BMWCCGB infield display area and to be part of the parade lap.

Thanks for everyone's support on this, should be a great event

Are you able to provide an updated list of who's attending & where they're travelling from the forum?

I've been keeping the first post of this thread updated with who is attending from z4-forum (there are also links to other z related forums so you can see participation from those too). I haven't put where people are travelling from however if you fancy meeting up and arriving in a group then perhaps you could start a separate thread that's convenient for where you are departing from. One example of this sort of thing is here on zroadster.org

Count me. I live in Northampton, would be great to meet up with some Z's at M1 and cruise up to Silverstone in convoy...

[cjp2k]

Is anyone going down from the north east?

[Redzedfour]

I'm travelling down from Durham on the Friday

Jembo - you just going for the Saturday ? If so, I'm in Maidstone so we could start a convoy, pick up inkey$ and any others heading round the Essex side of the M25... Not got my tickets yet, end of the month though

EDIT - just read back up the thread, let's sort something out closer to the time

[Hizza]

Just been on the Silverstone Classic web-site. I'm looking at Satruday only for two adults in one Zed - is the discount code price (£54) - per person (so £108) or per car (so £54)...?

Cheers
