holtehero Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 How many people in total are going to this? The A43 is now very good and access to silverstone is dual carriageway from the main road, i would think if access to things like the British Superbikes (50,000 people) isn't too bad i would think this will be ok - worse bit will be if all the cars are going into the inner paddock My only advice is to watch out for camera vans on the A43 as they tend to set them up if there is something going on at Silverstone - easy pickings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 180+ Zeds, including 4 different clubs. And that's just us doing the parade lap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtehero Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I can't see it being too bad getting in, the only bottleneck is when you get to the actual circuit and have to go over the bridge into the paddock area. All the way till then is dual carriageway - i guess other visitiors to the event are using the public car parks. The paddock area is huge, if it can handle F1 and Superbikes (with all the lorries and support vehicles+press and VIP's) then 180 Z's isn't going to be too much of a problem i wouldn't have thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 won't be an issue getting in, within the paddock area there's going to be the whole show, not just us, but yeah, won't be a tight space that's for sure, the place is massive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 What time are people meeting before going into Silverstone and where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I do not need to sign on till later but would want to meet up this the boys on here. Will the separate clubs have separate spaces for meet-up or is it a free for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Im sure thats the faint sound of a lid popping on one of these: I think it would be good to meet up with as many owners as possible, looking forward to having a good look at some of those cherished older Z's, some very looked after examples from what I saw at a previous meet.

sl114 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Is it worth starting a new thread with meeting times and meeting point so we can all go in together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a good idea to print out some cards for everyone, maybe from a list of people in the meet thread if Louis starts one.

Removed Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 we will have our own club banner there, although we will all be in the same area as the Z Club, of course.
