Supercar Siege Event (Inc. Blancpain GT) - Brands Hatch 8th May

[Scott.T]

This year the Supercar Siege team will be joining the Blancpain GT Sprint Series at Brands Hatch on the 7 & 8th May.

SES are planning to join them with an official stand on Sunday 8th May.

This is the replacement for the Supercar Siege event at Leeds Castle, as it was announced last year that it will not be returning to that venue. The reason is not fully known, but Leeds Castle are now running a similar event, but not to benefit the charity.

Hence, SES plan to continue to support The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Children's Fund, and will attend the Brands event.

More details on the price strategy will be announced when available, but my recent communication with the organisers have confirmed it will be a reduced entrance fee and 100% goes to the Supercar Siege Charity.

I've never done an event at Leeds Castle, but Blancpain was superb last year, so that's where I'll be heading again this year!

[Ginola]

Sounds good, combining Siege with a good days racing at Brands works for me. This has now become my deadline for getting the car sorted!

[Granby]

Brands, Leeds castle one is not for charity but the upkeep of the castle, shame i can't make it though

[Scott.T]

Thread title updated. Will update further as info becomes available.

Unfortunately this event is limited to 150 cars from all marques, so we've got to wait and see if we get in. Scott was informed that there was an allocation reserved for scoobs but don't know if there's interest from other scoob owners/clubs that may effect our chances.

Just have to sit tight and watch this space at the moment, sure we'll hear something soon

[Hrimfaxi]

Cool, eagerly awaiting news

[Scott.T]

There appears to be a 10 car per marque limit. So we'll wait to see how many of us get an attendance confirmation.

[Jason7579]

I am not applying to join the stand but I am hoping to get a few hours down there on the 8th with my son, if so it would be good to meet some of you.

Does anyone know when we will get confirmation if accepted

[Rdlangy1]

Just had confirmation email come through

Jeesh - just seen the price for us includes only car and driver - and passengers are at full cost! ouch! oh well - be a good day...

[Steve_PPP]

Got my email too. Just noticed at the bottom it says:

If you are happy with the above information, please respond to this email promptly with your car details to secure you space as they are being allocated rapidly.

Please make sure you do this folks!

Agreed! No doubt the place will be complete madness around 8 am.

[Type-r-russ]

Sure we'll be sorting a meetup beforehand, we have a couple of locations just off the M25 we've used in the past. Just keep an eye on this thread....

[BIG"E"]

Sorted donation all paid up

[simonairheadz]

This will be a fantastic event once again and a great opportunity to see some great racing too.
Can I please add on a personal note.
Last year Unfortunatly certain cars felt they couldn't adhear to the minimum leaving time agreements.
These/this cars/car were noted at the time and will not be welcome back.
I leave this responsibility to the club organisers
To deal with as on the day a refusal at the gate
Based on photo and numberplate will disappoint.
Feel free to personal message me.

[Steve_PPP]

Simon - PM'd.....

[Scott.T]

Not got an email yet !!!! So not paid

[Rdlangy1]

Managed to pay also

[Garyskisplym]

All paid up

[Scott.T]

Paid

[jay]

Gutted to be missing this as we are already busy. Appear to be missing lots of meets so far. Sorry! Need more days in the weekend!

[Garyskisplym]

All paid up see they are having a stand at tuner fest later in the year too. This time they have 300 spaces not only 100

We're waiting for more info on that one. The 19th June event has historically been called Modified Live, but was renamed to TunerFest last year.

I'm guessing that the usual car clubs for that event (which we've attended for 5 or 6 years under the Modified Live guise) will still have allocated space and so will Supercar Siege. But 300 cars is a pretty big space.

We'll let you know when we have more news.....

[Ginola]

My second ticket for Handbrake includes both days even though only ordered the 1

Off topic, but it would be good to see more clubs in attendance this year. The club turnout last year was dire!

[Scott.T]

Has anyone had any tickets/confirmation through yet ?
I ask as my spam filter seems to be doing a good job at stripping Siege emails.

[Ginola]

Had confirmation a little over a week ago, this was on the bit before you pay Virgin.. also bought passenger ticket which arrived a couple of days after I ordered it, we're supposed to collect tickets on the gate apparently.

Shamelessly copied..

Your pass will be waiting for you at the gate where our pink hi-vis wearing team will meet you, simply give them your surname.
Drivers must arrive between 08:00hrs and 09:00hrs. We cannot guarantee access after this time.
All passengers must have tickets to the venue: Website
Children under 13 years of age have free admission.
Cars are asked to remain on display until 16:00hrs. Please remember you are taking part in a charity event.
Rules for the venue such as pets etc. can be found on their website.
The FREE pit lane walk starts promptly at 09:00hrs should you want to get photos of the cars up close.
Although no BBQ’s and Gazebo’s are allowed, we actively encourage the use of picnic hampers and sunscreen.

[The Handbrake]

Camper Scoob it is then

[BIG"E"]

So what time are we getting to Brands?


I would have thought at around 08.00 ??

All I've received is the Virgin Money confirmation.
I'm on the list of donators, but no additional email/info has been received !! Also a bit pissed that the gift aid didn't appear to work/go through.

[Steve_PPP]

Got the same email today as last week chasing payment so i'm guessing there's still people who haven't sorted their donation even if we all have.

I don't think there is any tickets as such. Just make sure we're all in between 8am-9am and give our surnames on the gate (they already have our reg numbers to tally up). It does say in the email:

Only those that have been allocated a space will receive this email so can I please ask you not to share. Should someone donate or try to circumvent the invitation process I am afraid they still will not get in on the day and the donation will not be refunded.

Guys,

Last time we did a Brands event we switched the meet spot to the other location (inside M25) as the one posted was rammed with people due to the car boot sale opposite.

There's one this Sunday as well -http://www.smbbootsales.co.uk/

People packed out the road opposite to avoid paying the parking fee.

Don't want people hanging around blocking the road if they can't get in there and there might be other clubs meeting up that we don't know about too.

So the meet point is Wested Lane just inside the M25 from the J3 roundabout, 1st exit.
Post code : BR8 8EE

Cheers guys

[Rdlangy1]

Ok will see u all there around 7:40

[simonairheadz]

Looking forward to seeing you all again.
Can I just mention the supercar siege crew like sweets so if you have any in the car on the way in we will have to check them to see if they are allowed inside the venue

SWEETS !!!!! Must be something to do with those Pink Hi-Vis.

You would hear a man in a Yellow Hi-Vis asking for sweets !!!!!
