A1 GP Brands Hatch - will you be there...?

Mathias · 13 Jul 2005, 11:42 (Ref:1354520)

So, er, who's already got tickets for the series debut at Brands then?

*holds hand up and looks around hopefully for friends*

ascarmarshal · 13 Jul 2005, 11:54 (Ref:1354538)

I have had my free tickets since March ( free season pass), but I can only attend on Friday and Sunday due to another hobby having its last weekend of the year

mcurtis26 · 13 Jul 2005, 12:13 (Ref:1354564)

I'd go if it was on the GP circuit but not on the Indy Circuit. I'm still unconvinced with A1GP tbh and I can see a lot fo problems with backmarkers for the fast drivers.

The meeting is on the full GP circuit which has been upgraded to the FIA Grade 2 required for both A1 GP and CCWS

**BertMk2** · 13 Jul 2005, 13:52 (Ref:1354654)

I'm still undecided, Brands is just a half hour drive from home so it's easy enough to get to but there's also rallycross at Wildtracks on that date so I need to work out which I'm going to. Has the support bill been finalised for A1GP yet?

ascarmarshal · 13 Jul 2005, 13:54 (Ref:1354656)

For the support, there is MSV Formula Ford, FPA and GT's that are confirmed. There may be more classes confirmed later

Les · 13 Jul 2005, 18:37 (Ref:1354868)

well I will be there with the GTs but I'll be interested in how it goes.

Alfaholic · 13 Jul 2005, 20:59 (Ref:1354974)

MSV Season Ticket holder with weekend off work - A1GP, FIA Thoroughbred GPs and GTs on the Brands GP circuit or Radicals,VWs and Minis at Snetterton.

Such a difficult choice

ss_collins · 13 Jul 2005, 21:11 (Ref:1354982)

yeah I will - arouses my professional curiosity...

**bella** · 14 Jul 2005, 01:40 (Ref:1355135)

likewise, it's like when they open a new supermarket nearby, you know they're going to have exactly the same things on the shelves, but you might miss out if you don't at least go and take a look...

mcurtis26 · 14 Jul 2005, 10:48 (Ref:1355302)

Might have to reconsider now its on the GP circuit, the TAG250 GT support race could have some decent entries, nice mix of britcar and brit gt

ss_collins · 14 Jul 2005, 11:16 (Ref:1355317)

bella and me at the same meeting - the sky will fall in

**bella** · 14 Jul 2005, 13:56 (Ref:1355425)

don't tempt it...

It was always going to be on the GP circuit

Redracer77 · 14 Jul 2005, 21:38 (Ref:1355789)

I will be there as racing in the MSV FF1600 race. Would love to know the timetable. It is going to be 3 great days of motorsport fun. Although I will not be able to watch the FF1600 race as I will be in it, the other support races are championships that always have great races and it will be good to watch the A1 GP for the first time.

I have been told that over 50,000 people will be in attendance

Ian Sowman · 14 Jul 2005, 21:42 (Ref:1355793)

Well that rather depends on how may people buy tickets, but as you are racing Redracer it could be more than normal

I'd be intrigued to be there, and not just for the FF1600 for a change - fantastic though that race will be. But I'm at Cadwell at a meeting that will be as good if not better.

MikeHoyer · 15 Jul 2005, 00:48 (Ref:1355885)

I should be there...

forzaf1 · 15 Jul 2005, 20:13 (Ref:1356503)

I will be there, probably only Saturday though.

Alex

Trust a woman to compare racing with shopping.

I'll get me coat.

josvandeperre · 27 Jul 2005, 15:55 (Ref:1364773)

Does anyone have a feel for the timetable yet as there are supposed to be a Ferrari Classico & two Maranello Challenge rounds too ?

Timetable is not yet on the Brands Hatch website ( www.brandshatch.co.uk )

dazbaz_99 · 1 Aug 2005, 18:48 (Ref:1369496)

WOHOO! Yep i will be there on the Sunday. Will be only my 2nd trip ever to Brands. I have never been to a Grand Prix raceday so this will be the closest thing to it i will have experienced, looking forward to it! Its been a great year so far.

Gerben24 · 3 Aug 2005, 08:03 (Ref:1370814)

I'll be there as well (and I can still have a lay in, as Brands is almost in my back garden!). I was amazed by the ticket prices, I've got grandstand seats at start-finish and paddock tickets as well for just 50 quid. I'm looking forward to this one!

dazbaz_99 · 3 Aug 2005, 12:00 (Ref:1371019)

Does anyone here know whether you get allocated a specific grandstand seat, or if you just pick anywhere in the stands? I to have bought a grandstand seat. My mate wants to come along to but i would rather we sat together than have to sit opposite ends of the stands!

Yeah, call this number: 0870 950 9000. Don't book through the internet, they will put in any place on the grandstand where they can. By calling this number you can actually request a spot!
