As always suggestions guys…?
Still sorting out details and tickets etc, but I reckon its going to be meet up at Rockingham, at about 9.00am, for ticket collection, could be a bit later, depending on the race programme…
On track action starts at 10am (qualifying sessions) - The racing starts from 11.25 and finishes at 6pm.
If its just a straight dash there, and you want to use my place as a meet you are more than welcome.
Kevin
What about this? some cracking roads?
Hi Jamie
Looks like a good route, especially the Downham to Wisbech bit. Might join you for this.
Julian
What sort of time and where guys.
Paul
Can’t say at the moment, we need to know what time and where ticket collection will be…
Something should appear in the members only section at some point.
Worst case, aim for 9.00am, Rockingham, at the circuit. May be able to do it a bit later, but depends on arrangements yet to be confirmed for our arrival. Once the sessions start on the track then people get busy, so we may need to be all in place before then…
Any thoughts of a Suffolk convoy - Myself and another are leaving Beacon Hill Services at 07:15 at the latest if anyone else would like to join.
Hi Carl, there are several from Essex and Suffolk going but I’m going up the day before. Start a Suffolk / Essex convoy thread, and see who bites… both the convoys could also pick people up from Cambs as well I guess…
Now that the lists have been posted are we meeting in or around Norwich to go to Rockingham, or are we all making our own way? Looking forward to it!!
Cheers
Paul
Ok I have a plan!
Lizen vewy carefwully i zhall zay zis onley vounce
Meet 06:45 for 07:00 Departure from
Juwell Aquariams
Penfold Drive
Whymondham
NR18 0WZ
As the meet time is TBC…
If we need to meet at Rockingham before 09:30 we go direct (A11/A14)
If the meet time is 09:30 or later, we go the scenic route (See above post)
As always flexibility is the key!
Rockingham between 9.00 und 9.30, bitte, by ze club flagz near ze entrance… they really want us parked up by 10.00am so we don’t get in the way of the race cars and can all sign up for the parade lap… we are being parked up by the Visitors Centre, where ever that is… but I think its the wrong side of the inner admissions gate so may not then be able to get out again to run tickets over to late comers.
And don’t forget we is gonna be on the TV…!
Danke Martino
Big thanks to the Kev for the refuge from the rain and the cuppa!

Big thanks to John and tracey for hooking us up with the Guys at Ma5da racing.
Huge thanks to Jonathan Blake at Ma5da for the complimentary tickets and hospitality.
Had a really fab day at “The Rock”!
Came back the scenic route, Peterborough - Downham Market - Norwich, 2 hrs and lots of smiles!
I also second Jamie, thanks to everyone.
I really enjoyed seeing various cars. My favorites being the Lotus Sunbeam (The Bullet) and the Ford Falcon what a sound 7Ltrs of V8 muscle!!
See you all at the Gala Day.
Paul
Thanks Jamie and Kev for the cuppa! See you at Gala Day.
As for the cars Paul, have to agree with you on the Lotus Sunbeam. Bit of local history with them, they were turned into Lotuses just down the road from where I live in Catfield. Also loved the howling Exige!
Julian
Thanks to all who organised this, had a great day.
Did love the sound of that V8!
