Garry, I have just (skim) read the details and couldn't find any info on the following...

I'm sure I have recently read in 'Which Kit Car?' that there will NOT be any trackday session passes available for purchase on the day this year - sessions and full day drives must be pre-booked. I cant see anything about this on the website. This might be important info for those who wish to 'arrive and drive'. I will see if I can find the issue...

I'll be there - providing it isn't snowing!

[Cavvy]

Count me in

[markcoopers]

Ooh might come along for a giggle.

[deano.1]

i'll be there, although i'll reserve judgement on the camping untill i know how cold its gonna be!

[Cam]

Yep I'll be there too, vehicle(s) depending on how much stuff I am thinking of buying.

Camping unlikely as warm bed only 20 minutes down the A50.

But of course everything could change in the next month.  

[Mid life crisis]

Any one know if there is any where to pitch a caravan at Donington? If there is, we will probably get her indoors to tow the trailerd westy, and make a weekend of it.

[Chris Elworthy]

How many can you cram into your caravan?
