I’ve been able to book accommodation for 4 nights at Silverstone Premier Inn. It was approx £80/night and is fully refundable (within a month - or transferable after that date).

Saturday night was £75 for a family room. It’s spitting distance from the circuit and allows attendees to enjoy the Saturday evening entertainment at The Festival. This accommodation offer is a cheap way of attending Sat & Sun.

FYI Silverstone Premier Inn usually books up fast. I checked months ago and they were asking stupid money. Plenty of other places in the vicinity that might be arguably better - but this is a very convenient option.

It’s unlikely to increase massively btw, but booking now saves a little. Booking accommodation ahead can save too. It’s a good time of year to plan the 2023 calendar.

I’ve a heard that a few members may already be up for this but haven’t listed themselves. It certainly helps the organisers to know to better plan the display.

For those that have been before, what's the agenda for each day? Do the cars leave every night?

The option is to do either.

Previously, I’ve stayed at a Premier Inn in Milton Keynes (15 miles away) and driven each time.

Plenty leave their vehicles at their stand and use the free campsite buses or taxi /share lifts to nearby hotel.

Good going, and well done to those who have signed up so far. Certainly look forward to seeing a V6 Trophy in attendance since it has been a while since we last had one.

[mention=5904,#000000]en6jwrs[/mention], I hope you will be able to attend on the day we will have our parade lap of the F1 Circuit. We will be advised of the date and time of our parade lap around April/May time.

Let's keep the momentum up...after all it will be the Phase 2's 20th Anniversary, so if we can surpass the turnout that we had for the Vee's 15th Anniversary that will be superb. :approve:

For those who haven't been to the event before, do have a browse through the Gallery since it will give you a feel for what to expect: Events Gallery, and here are some thoughts of those who attended The Classic 2022, posted up both during and after the event: LINK

NOTE: Prices go up at MIDNIGHT TODAY.

So far the list of confirmed attendees includes;

1. Lankan, Phase 2, Illiad Blue [Fri, Sat, Sun]
2. rustedandrotten, Phase 2, Liquid Yellow [Fri, Sat, Sun]

If you wish to leave your car parked up in the infield overnight that is fine - a few of us do this every year. Further, if you need to tow your vehicle, please PM [mention=3507,#0000FF]Lankan[/mention] your Booking Reference, Name, Tow vehicle's registration, and ETA. If dropping the car off on Thursday (24th) then this can be anytime before 20:00 hrs.
