You can go on train and park there which is cheaper, and maybe if you are a licence holder I think a day is cheaper at the NEC, but I reckon if you were job lot buying and went to a decent supplier they would do a discount anyway, they often have when i have known people buying stuff.

The parking at Autosport is ludicrously expensive but if there are a few of you in the car it's a lot cheaper than going by train. Race Retro is another option but if we stick to our current plans then we'll need the helmets/HANS before Race Retro so Autosport is our best option. We'll be getting 2 helmets, 2 HANS devices and maybe a new intercom amplifier (depending on which helmets we go for) so hopefully we'll get a discount of some sort on that lot.
The big problem for me is that after buying the helmet and HANS I won't have much of my budget left for actually competing next year. If they move towards lifeing the HANS as they have done with seats and belts that could well be me done with competing.
