BTCC Thruxton 25th & 26th April
Hi all got my tickets today for this and I have got a track pass what does this mean? As this is my first time at Thruxton and it does not say in the enclosed instructions, thought I had better ask here!

Track pass means you're on a post somewhere between ,I think, post 5 & 19 and therefore you park your car on track at the startline for sign-on,then drive round to post

Hopefully the postman has been to mine this morning as well then - although I can only do the Saturday, so maybe I'm not selected this time round.
As for a Track Pass - never had one yet, although to be honest, I don;t think I have even been on the list of marshals at sign on either, I always end up filling out the 'Extras' list!! |

If you have a track pass use the gate by the flying club to get on to the track, you should have a post between 5 and 19 and will have to drive out round the track. Do not use the tunnel! Ask where to park because it's all changed out there! |

[QUOTE=Peat;2443147]I have a Pit and Paddock passes. I take it im working in the pitlane then?
Hi Peat, does your ticket say ‘Official Inc Paddock/Pits 2-Days’ and have HPP on it? You’ll probably also have a ‘guest’ ticket too which says ‘Complimentary Inc Paddock 2-Days’ with HAP on it (guests don’t get Pit access). If so these are the entry tickets for the meeting for you and a guest and doesn’t mean you’ll be marshalling in the Pit Lane or Paddock. Hope this helps. |

Yeah, cheers. i have the HPP and the HAP tickets. So i guess i find out what i am doing at sign-on?
Going back to my original post (sorry, im slightly panicing), do i definatley need proper probans, or will an orange high-vis do? Don't want to turn up unprepared now.... |

Try to avoid outer clothing that is similar in colour to any of the flags - that way there is no confusion if you start waving your arm around. Then, if you decide you want to stick at it, look to get your overalls later. |

I did about 3 meeting, all i had was normal clothes and a hi-viz coat with a pair of welders gloves, then decided this is for me and bought a set of probans. Still use the coat and gloves to keep me toastie warm!! When i said my first time i meant first time marshaling at Thruxton, i have done 6 meetings now but only at brands hatch. See you there bright and early Saturday morning!!

No tickets for me yet.
I'll be there, camping Friday and Saturday (got a wedding reception to go to though) hopefully in our Split Screen camper. Harry Vaulkhard may have his too, we're going to turn a BTCC meeting into a VW camper show! ![]() |

Steve,
You mean your letting me down this time with no correct answer? ![]() I'll let you off this time!! ![]() This is new for me at BTCC the norm is for me to be put out of harms way around the back somewhere. |
