You get assigned one pitch which you would get 2 small tents up in and the guest band allows access to the campsite so yes. I had my guest share my caravan with me last year. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I did last year and I hope I get selected again this year and also my guest from last year that was still then only a trainee gets selected as he missed not being in orange. It was his 1st event as a spectator since stating marshaling.

Got my "sorry" letter this morning - would like to have done Silverstone GP just the once, but appreciate that at least I now know I'm free to help out elsewhere so long as I can get past the local traffic jams for the GP.

fazza · 31 Jan 2009, 09:53 (Ref:2383082)

Bit of a bummer got a thanks but no thanks this year, thought I would have been selected but not this time.

booked time of work and everything as had to get holidays booked before the selection process, so now will spend a week with nothing to do.

Bit pe'ed of really as I've done the last 2 years for them but obviously not good enough to do the last one there.............................

Legends at Oulton...who needs F1?

HairyDJ · 31 Jan 2009, 10:06 (Ref:2383086)

Just noticed that my letter refers to the GP being 4-5-6 July - methinks ye olde copy & paste of last year's paperwork went a bit awry.

Dave - Leg Ends is tempting, but Brands is closer .......

Startline Ed · 31 Jan 2009, 10:16 (Ref:2383089)

Got mine for Startline.

Mike Kelly 1 · 31 Jan 2009, 10:32 (Ref:2383097)

that's your guest pass allocated then! He'd better keep you well supplied with snacks and drinks whilst you're out on post.

Not having gone through this process before - if some of the successful folk drop out, do the organisers dip back into the rejects pile to fill the gaps, or is a margin built in? Not hoping, just curious

Nighthawk · 31 Jan 2009, 10:41 (Ref:2383106)

got mine

Col_Rugby · 31 Jan 2009, 10:43 (Ref:2383108)

Got the no thanks letter this morning as well.

Not too worry. Have to find something else to do now then.

b1gfrenchy · 31 Jan 2009, 10:58 (Ref:2383114)

Hope the weather is better this year!!!
Wonder where I will be playing this year,

BeeJ · 31 Jan 2009, 11:00 (Ref:2383116)

I'm in

BeeJ · 31 Jan 2009, 11:20 (Ref:2383126)

Just found out my friend got the sorry letter but at least he will be my lunch marshal again

Nadine J Lewis · 31 Jan 2009, 11:22 (Ref:2383130)

I got a no letter and Ian got a yes - how gutted am I!!

I also got my rejection this morning, so I will probably also head down to Brands for the 750MC meeting.

The rejection frees up a couple of days holiday as well, which I will probably take the week before. Go to Scotland, spend some time with family, and do the British GT at Knockhill.

A little disappointed not to get accepted for the grand prix, but there are enough other good meetings this year to make up for it. WTCC & F2 at Brands looks interesting, and the FIA GT at Silverstone is a must, last chance to see (and hear) the big GT1s before the new regulations come in next year.

mini1400 · 31 Jan 2009, 11:45 (Ref:2383143)

Got the 'Yes' this morning

Why so many 'no' letters this year? Everyone trying to do the last British GP?

Miss Pebbles · 31 Jan 2009, 11:50 (Ref:2383147)

I'm a yes too, very happy but also a bit deflated with so many 'no's especially for good friends
