Discuss.

(Also, who else is going?)

[Greem]

I'm giving it a miss this year. Last year was immense fun, but I don't think I can negotiate a day pass from the family this year!

My geography isn't that good, but I suspect Mallory Park may not be in Wales.

I think the future part is talking about the UK as a whole?

No snow forecast for Mallory for the next ten days on the website I use; a high of 7° & zero precipitation forecast for Christmas Day suggests that Boxing Day should be OK - better than last year, I suspect!

See you there!

[nate93]

I'm coming along...providing the probans still fit after christmas day.

Weather looks to be ok from the forecast i've seen, however if its to bad I shan't be journeying across.

[adstubbs]

I'll be there, it's part of Christmas for me now.Just hoping for it to be a little warmer than last year, when the display on the car was reading -12C as I drove across from Derby. Brrrr

[The Fat Clerk]

Santa will be there doing the 'Starters Job' as ever.
Possibility they've got a Sleigh for me to go round the track in as well

[brickkicker]

Is there a timetable and entry list out yet for this meeting? Have had a look but couldnt find anything.

[The Fat Clerk]

Tickets & paperwork were there when I got home tonight.

[theracegypsy]

Hope to catch a late sleigh up from Bristol Christmas night, unless I'm working - still waiting for shifts for 26-1st Jan!

Silly question time!

Where's sign-on? The paperwork doesn't say, or not that I can see and I've not been to mallory before!

Cheers

[The Fat Clerk]

Follow the crowd in orange!
Seriously it's a hut near Race Control, next to a Pagoda type building

Enter the driveway at the circuit, follow it round, and the gate to the track should be opposite you (should be staffed by security). Drive on to the track, and head WD to the Esses. Turn left onto the short circuit and through the gate into the paddock. Angle right, downhill, past scrutineering to the white single story building. Breakfast is served here; eat heartily! After breakfast, come out of the cafe, and turn right, uphill to the multi-storey race control building. Sign-on is pretty much underneath that (sign says "race admin" if memory serves).

Sign on is usually in the cabin behind the mobile caterers, however, I would suggest that you Sign On and then Breakfast.

[Pensioner]

Sign on is actually in the Drivers Briefing room at the bottom of Race Control stairs. Apologies that this was not clear.

Usually for races at Mallory, yes, but for the Plum Pudding, it's 'usually' in race admin
