...don't forget to bring BOTH parts of your driving licence. You will not be able to go out on track without.

And without wishing to repeat myself, it's Fords only.

 

And don't crash... Rsoc members are learning that the hard way!!

 

or dont forget to go to specsavers if you need to...

 

I still have my original pink and blue license

 

Are those things still valid? Lol

 

Thanks Dan for posting this up as all should take note if going on track

 

You obviously will also need a crash helmet too

I remember them going on about keeping windows closed and wearing long sleeves and no dodgy suction mounted cameras on the windscreen as well

And don't forget you MUST attend the drivers briefing at least an hour before you are on track

 

whats the noise limit ?

 

Is there any track time left?

 

I have a old style licence. That's going to have to be ok yes? Licence is a licence old or new.

 

Both parts lmao if it's a Photo Id why need both

 

the photo part doesn't show points or bans....

 

If you were ban you wouldn't have either lol

Dos it make a difference for track if you got points?

 

No it is open to none fords its in my paperwork !

 

I thought it was open to anyone not just fords?

 

It hasnt been limited to Fords the last 2 years

Is this for 2012 on?

Was hoping to have my Clio sorted for next years tracktime

It was meant to be Fords only for 2010, and was loosely enforced for 2011 because the rule wasn't made clear until tickets had been on sale for a while. It's Fords only for 2012. There may be the odd non Ford out on track, but the vast majority will be Fords.

See here... http://www.fordfair.co.uk/2011/02/14/track-time-rules/

The driving license rules aren't ours, they're Silverstone's. It's up to them whether they'll let old style licences on track - if in doubt give them a call.

There 'may' be some available on the day - but get there early, as it sells out fast.

It was 102dB drive by last year IIRC so it will probably be the same. If in doubt bring a big silencer!

 

Can you buy tickets on the day for this and how many laps is their a limit cheers.

 

As mentionned there 'may' be some left on the day, but they sell out early. You get a 20 min session, and can fit in as many laps as you can in that time!

 

Do need to bring a licence if your doing the fiesta rally thing and are Irish (southern) ok?

 

Most importantly, if you see a silver sapph behind you, let it past! Lol

 

Do you need to bring your lisc for 0-60? Can't remember now. Hoping to purchase a run on the day ...

 

At least you have a sense of humour about it
Cheers
Ian

 

So non Fords are allowed on after all!
Could have gone on then!
Now I'm doing a car boot sale followed by dinner at the mother in law's

 

Dan did clear that up in post number 17, The idea is that the whole track sessions are FORD ONLY for 2012

 

I had to show mine last year for a few tickets.

 

That's run by Silverstone, not us so you'd need to ask them.

No. It's Ford's only for 2012.

No.

 

it was supposd to be fords only last year as well and only peeps who had bought tickets way way back in the beginning for non fords were allowed after the notifications were posted up

 

Sorry Steve and Dan but to me that's not very clear. Just because I act a fool sometimes doesn't mean I am one! I would have bought a ticket and track time if I'd have thought I would be able to take a non Ford on. I'm doing Trax instead now
I'm reading some posts saying that it is Ford only then Dan's above is saying there are exceptions.

 

the exceptions are probably the silverstone lotus cars they do driving experience laps in

 

Dojj, I know about those, I'm just saying that it looks like people have been allowed to slip through the net.

I know of somebody else that has track time and doesn't own a Ford as well.

The main reason I'm pissed off is I'm getting burnt beef and soggy veg on Sunday now.

 

maybe they are using last years pwperwork to avoid felling any more trees in the rainforest

although dan is your man to answer all questions in relation to that (unless he decides to pass the buck onto the person who is in charge of running the show itself, used to be a bloke called ian buti think he's gone and been replaced by an alison or a susan or soemthing)

 

I don't see the windows closed rule on the Ford Fair website at
http://www.fordfair.co.uk/2011/02/14/track-time-rules/
though I've been on track before at FF and was told too.

If we already have to put on long clothes, it's going to be like a bloody oven in my car. Can we have the windows open a bit? I saw plenty going round with windows half-down when I was last on track.

 

I wrote that to cover my arse because if there is a non-Ford on track I don't want people blaming me. I don't personally vet every car that goes on track.

Silverstone's rules not ours! You'll need to take it up with them

 

Yes I get that they make the rules, rather than having your own rules on the FF website which is incomplete, you could just link to theirs?

Windows 3/4's up for anyone who is interested.

Just think it's a shame as if there were a few spaces left that could have perhaps gone on a non Ford waiting list something. Then at least priority would have gone to Fords.

 

I hear you mate and I understand where your coming from, the thing is with track time most turn up and see its a nice day and fancy having a go if not sold out, where that plan falls apart is when its damp day and the track places could have been sold to non fords are now vacant, whatever happens on the day Im sure it will be a success

 

partially opened windows is fine, they just don't want your arms flaining outside if you crash

 

there is an "any vehicle can go on track day, but that's for the trax show in a months time

 

That did make me chuckle to myself Karl

Glad your spirits are high
