So who'se up for joining me at any of these this year?</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Kicking off in only a few weeks time, the week after the LAN, with..</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV><STRONG>12-13 April - BTCC</STRONG> (Rockingham, Corby)</DIV><DIV>Great fun last year and plenty of action that you can see all of on this circuit. Plus you can roam/sit just about anywhere and even watch the action from on top of the pits.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>£21 for the main race day (Sunday), 15yrs or under free.</DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.rockingham.co.uk/events/eventdetails.asp?id=208">http://www.rockingham.co.uk/events/eventdetails.asp?id=208</A></DIV><DIV><BR><STRONG>24-26 June - F1 test day</STRONG> (Silverstone)</DIV><DIV>Suggested by Dante as an alternative to the prohibitively expensive F1 race. Would love to go to F1 again but I'm trying to hold out for a couple of years when, if Ross can work his magic, we may end up with 2 British drivers challenging for the Championship, you never know. Plus the timing of the British GP isn't great, see below.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Only £12 for a day, obviously no guarantees as to which drivers/teams will be there, but nice and cheap and you get to see some F1 cars/drivers put through their paces.</DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.silverstone.co.uk/php/rm_f1test_june.html">http://www.silverstone.co.uk/php/rm_f1test_june.html</A></DIV><DIV><BR><STRONG>4-6 July - F1 British GP</STRONG> (Silverstone)</DIV><DIV>Would love to go again but hoping we may have even more reason to go in a year or two. Plus it's only a week before the event I fell in love with last year and is a must again this year...</DIV><DIV><BR><STRONG>11-13 July - Festival of Speed</STRONG> (Goodwood)</DIV><DIV>We had an abortive attempt to get a few of us to this last year, but due to various illnesses only myself and my eldest ended up going. So let's try again this year. If you love cars this is one event you simply must go to.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>From £47 day (Sat or Sun), £99 weekend (Fri-Sun) Admission only (tbh you really don't need a grandstand ticket, far too much to do and see to be sat in a stand all day).</DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.goodwood.co.uk/fos/">http://www.goodwood.co.uk/fos/</A></DIV><DIV><BR><STRONG>13th - 16 November - MPH Show</STRONG> (NEC, Birmingham) </DIV><DIV>Didn't go last year but went in 2006 with a few community members, lots of nice cars to look at and an entertaining show hosted by the Top Gear team. Well worth a visit.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Ticket details not currently available.</DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.mphshow.co.uk/">http://www.mphshow.co.uk/</A></DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Anyone up for any of these?</DIV>Sun, 23 Mar 2008 19:48:01 GMTChas
