Archived BMWCCGB Zedfest, 20 – 22 July 2012, Silverstone Circuit

[Ian_C]

UPDATE - PLEASE READ IF ATTENDING ZEDFEST 2012!

To make sure you dont waste time getting into the correct entry area, please study the "Car Club Infield Display " information sent with your ticket and windscreen car park area sticker.

Enter as shown through car park 49, signed on Left side before roundabout. Allow time to get through the coned lanes, until the Ticket Check. Once clear, proceed to T Junction and turn Right. After 100 Mtrs on Left side note sign BMWCCGB to turn LEFT into our Display area.

Please pay attention to the Club's HiViz Marshals, and take direction to colour coded parking areas:

Z1 - Green
Z3 Roadster/Coupe - Red
Z4 Roadster/Coupe - Blue

Please look out for individual signs in these areas for Model types as requested by a number of owners.

In view of the weather conditions suffered at the parking areas, please ensure YOU drive slowly on our grass display area at all times, and treat OUR Marshals with Respect at all times - remember, they are trying to help you to enjoy this event.

It probably goes without saying but just to make sure - be CAREFUL when you open your doors to ensure that you don't ding the adjacent car.

...and do try and park in a straight line, it looks so much better on the photos

Thanks for your understanding and let's have a great zedfest!

Hi Snoops, looking at your post about all things above us, :ympray: I wonder if the BBC need to be informed, cos they just might think it's worth an 'Eye in the Sky' and a mention on the News of the Sat Lunch time parade! \/ What do think? Is it worth letting them know? :-bd

UPDATE - INSURANCE

Since we've had a number of queries ref this topic then it's worth mentioning that all participants should note that insurance is an individual responsibility. If you are concerned then you should check that your insurance covers this type of event (i.e. a car show and parade lap).

oh no, you will start a panic, especially as insurance doesn't pay out for tidal waves

Maybe we should all break out our hairdryers to dry the ground out as we arrive

UPDATE - INCORRECT V-PASS RESOLUTION

The BMWCCGB is aware that there are a couple of anomalies regarding printed V-passes (missing V-pass, incorrect area, incorrect vehicle reg). If you are a victim of this then please contact me by pm and we will resolve the issue. You need to pm me by 20:00 on Sunday 14 July to give the club a chance to get each individual issue resolved however I would urge you to contact me right away if there's a problem with your V-pass.

Note that the last batch of passes to be issued are being hand-written - if you have a problem with one of those then the Silverstone organisers have said they will accept minor corrections to manually written passes, e.g. if a digit is missed off or it's in the wrong order. If it's completely wrong or missing then follow the advice for printed passes i.e. contact me by pm by 20:00 on Sunday 14 July.

Hi Ian.
You mention above the three colours of green/red/blue!! Forgive me if i'm being a bit slow here but
my Display windscreen token is Grey colour for section 13! so what models are assigned to this area then. Is it Alpina's :-?

I think most of us have received grey 13 (those that haven't are being corrected) - what I have understood from Ians post is... within G13 there are colour coded sections - if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will come along and correct me

I've just been checking all things related to Saturday and I very nearly missed that we need to bring along our driving licence for the parade lap of Silverstone. I suspect others may do the same or just plain leave it at home.

It will probably be the days highlight for most of us and a great disappointment for anyone that forgets and isn't allowed to join in. As with all things the devils in the detail and so I thought that a reminder ought to be posted.

Nothing to do with me I know, so I hope I don't offend anyone by doing so.

Don't forget you need your Driving Licence for the parade lap!!!!

Mine is now placed in the glove box along with my tickets. Very much looking forward to the day, and fingers crossed for sunshine!

See you all Saturday!
