for a second year in a row it looks like it wont make JF again :roll: no car as the 5g is being collected by the new owner later today and the 4g is.... as usual....still broken.

not sure if TazzmanianDevil94 will make it either as he has a broken spring.

Does anyone have a vehicle pass they can no longer use? Would be great to drive in rather than park outside.

do you have a club ticket or a public ticket? as even with a public ticket & vehicle pass they organisers may be fussy, requiring you to have a club ticket which are now sold out.

worth a shot though, i dont think the stand passes have been released yet but ive replicated them for people before and they've made it onto the stand for the day.

Vehicle passes have just been emailed out.

The weather looks terrible on the forecast though. :|

Looking a the weather, the forecast has improved from yesterday, so might not be too bad actually.

Randomly, I had a high speed meeting with a pheasant this afternoon which has inconveniently altered the front end look of the car somewhat, and might not be going now. :|

has the JF brand changed hands since last year?
Nope, same lot running it for donkeys years.

Ratty says some areas of the circuit that we normally use aren't available this year, because they're building a go-kart track. That would explain selling out - not busier, just less space available to fill.

Yes, so the bridge area that goes over the circuits wellington straight to the large grass area at the back of the show is now out of use. The show is the rest of the other area PLUS is now using the other side of the track along the main straight between woodcote and corpse so you have to go under the track at the other side but it's much smaller.
