Dunsfold Park is the airbase they use for Top Gear isn't it? so i guess they'll be doing the same circuit for the supercar rides as Top Gear use for their 'Star in a Reasonably priced car' ? - would make a good selling point and would surely attract a lot of the public to come along

It is the same track that Top Gear use, but with a different layout.

The Top Gear layout is a figure of 8, and they can only have 2 cars out at once, so they use a different layout for these days to get more cars out.

The 555 Wagon Squadron "secret base" is there, and we rent out space to Top Gear.

Hi guys!, just a few notes about the Dunsfold event,

Yes it's the home of Top Gear and we are using the track albeit with a slightly different layout.

the figure of eight they use makes it slightly tough for us to get more than one car out at the time and we will be using around 12 at once (god knows what would happen if we did use the crossover!)

the format is simple, 100+ supercars of different varieties from Atoms and KTM x-bows through various ferraris and Lambos up to Carrera GT's F40's and an Enzo

The public pay from £20 (for a normal Ferrari/Lambo) up to around £60 (for the enzo and zonda if it appears) for two high speed passenger laps of the oval circuit driven by the owners who are there to enjoy themselves

we've got a lot of other things going on, 3 live bands, one was voted Londons best party band of 2008, one is an up and coming band from Kent and the other is Sarah Blackwoods band (from Dubstar/Client)

we also have a driver training circuit, a drift/donut area run by the Caterham owners club as well as a fun fair, various stands stallls and some decent catering.

we're also expecting around 1000 cars on static display from various car clubs you guys included. depending on numbers we're happy to offer you a club stand as part of your area.

entrance is
£7 for Adults
£3 for children
£15 family ticket

£20 standard supercar rides (2 high speed passenger laps)
blue Ribband cars (Atom/X-bow F40, F50 CGT, Zonda, Enzo etc) will be extra...buy a standard ticket and upgrade on the day.

Car club tickets are available on this link...
http://www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/...Display+ticket

please dont pass that on to anyone outside the club.

public entry (for anyone outside the club who might want to come) and booking rides are available on this link
http://www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/...&month=&page=3


Car clubs (i.e. you guys pay £7 per car rather than £7 per person)
the reason we're charging is that all the money goes directly to the charity and we want to raise as much as we possibly can for them.

you'll need to be there around 9am, and your area will be marked out by cones. it means you'll have the first chance to see what special cars are arriving and watch us warming up on the track, you also have the best parking spot as the public car parks are a bit further away from the action and of course you've all day to wander around the show.

hope that gives you enough info, we a Petrolhead Nirvana are giving up our time and energy for nothing and paying for various expenses out of our own pocket but all the money raised is going directly to the charity so it's not in the least bit commercial for us.
