Static car dislapy @top gear track - for charity

[Harsh]

I know i've said this a couple of times but I want to make sure the day goes as smoothly as possible, so the details for the car club display are as follows.

You can arrive to set up anytime after 7am but we need you to be there by 9am at the latest.

There are two possible entrances, the Compass gate entrance and the Stovolds Hill entrance.
Do not use the postcode on the Dunsfold site as it doesn't work, you are better off using the road name e.g. Stovolds Hill, Cranleigh, Surrey to find your way there and then proceeding to the end to find the entrance.

Once there, please state to the waiting Marshals that you are part of the car club static display and let them know which club you are with and they will direct you to your display area which is on the runway next to the event arena.

I know the temptation to do high speed runs is there when you arrive but we have to ask you to observe the posted speed limits whilst on the airfield and please do not make too much noise. Loud revving, burnouts or donuts will get us into trouble and the offenders ejected - Dunsfold are very hot on noise and we are not really allowed to make any before 10am (which is why the rides don't start until then) so we would appreciate you helping us make sure there are no neighbourhood complaints.

The catering vans will be open early so you can get breakfast when you arrive and assuming you arrive before 8.15 you'll see the variety of supercars arrive and do a couple of formation laps, there's some very exciting metal in there including F40's, a Spyker C8 Spyder, an Enzo , F50, Lamborghini Diablo/Murcielago, Atom's X-Bows and more.

As display cars we do ask that you stay in place for the day for health and Safety reasons, the driving event finishes at 4pm and the event as a whole finishes at 4.30pm.

The Children's Trust have asked me to thank you very much indeed for supporting the event to this degree and appreciate you giving up your day to help their cause. We hope to provide you with the sort of interactive spectacle which will mean you wont notice where the time went.

There are still a few rides left but around 75% have been sold as of this afternoon.
you can still book them online but only until 3pm on Friday after which it will be a case of first come fisrt served on the day (the same deadline goes for the display tickets however those will not be available on the day)

The other areas that can be booked in advance are the Caterham drift area, the Roadcraft Driver training area and the young driver training section.

They may also be booked on the day along with the helicopter rides and the Rolling road dyno testing (which have not been sold in advance but are first come first served - another advantage of arriving early)

Some of the free spectacles are right next to you in the static display area, the Jordan F1 car, the Top Fuel Dragster from Santa Pod, the 3 live bands, East coast FMX the motorbike display team and M.A.D. the mountain bike display team.
so you wont have far to go to be in the middle of things, not forgetting of course the fact that you will be right next to the last two corners of the top gear track and will be able to see all the cars as they come around them.

We have all put a lot of hard work into the day and hope you have a fantastic time. Once again thank you for your support so far and on the day.

Hi Amit,

As per Harsh's post below about having stay til after 4. Have to be gone well before then, so any idea whether my pass will work for the normal carpark?

Hey Fez,

We'd much prefer you not to leave early as the static display is part of the spectacle of the event however it wont be an issue if one or two of you have to make an early exit, we can arrange for the marshals to escort you past the driver training area and out to the perimeter road so you can leave.

What we're trying to avoid is a mass exodus of cars that will leave the display area looking forlorn (and of course the fact that there's an element of risk if cars are moving around in areas where the public are walking around).

but of course if you need to leave then we'll make sure you can do so safely, so don't worry you wont have to park in the public area.

Thanks Harsh

ok final bit of info...

just for general information,

The discounted static display tickets have now been withdrawn.
However you can still buy general entry tickets to the event.

Essentially, the difference is that the static display tickets cost £7 per car with any number of passengers whereas the general entry tickets cost £7 per person (and £3 per child) or a family ticket (2 Adults and 2 Children) for £15.
you can still buy those online.

if you want to be part of the display instead of parking in the public car park then you will still be able to even if you buy a general entry ticket, you simply may end up spending a bit more then if you had bought a display pass. (but for the static display area you will still need to turn up before 9am)

Finally if you want to turn up on the day and buy tickets you can do that as well (and park either in the PH zone or the public car park) but the tickets sold on the day will cost £8 per adult and £4 per child (or £18 for a family ticket)

I hope that makes sense? basically don't panic if you've not got a pass yet you can still come along and display/enjoy the event

I seem to have bought a standard family ticket and not the static display pass

does that mean I am wasting my time getting there early. I don't want to get turned away with the kids in the car and have to hang around for 2 hours

[Harsh]

no you're fine, you've just donated more money to the charity than you meant to

The display tickets were more about saying thank you to those coming along to display their cars by offering you discounted entry. you can still turn up and park on the display area with a normal ticket as long as you arrive by the appointed time
