Default Date for Fordfair 2012?

Can somebody confirm whether it's on Saturday 4th or Sunday 5th August. The trackdaydrivers website is taking bookings for the Saturday.Is this just an extra trackday or is the show on the Saturday?

Early days yet as I spoke to Dan about this last week, its expected to be the 1st sunday of August as always, saturday track is nothing to do with Ford Fair and on sunday it should all be FORD as it was this year

It's not going to be on the date that Trackday Drivers have stated. Not sure where they got that date from.

It's more likely to be a little later in August, poss the 12th but nothing has been officially confirmed.

Edit: It will be Ford only, so if you book a non-Ford on you won't be allowed on track!

Yes. As you know, he (and a few others) booked on before I spotted the 'flaw' in the booking form. Ford Fair track time will once again be reserved for Fords!

To be fair, the YB powered westy should be allowed IMHO, cant imagine many ford fans not liking that, but I guess when its going round the track they cant see its a YB.

Maybe he could get a fucking massive ford logo on the bonnet just to avoid doubt
