On the Saturday & Sunday before our day the BTCC Round 9, the penultimate round, of this years championship takes place on the Silverstone National Circuit. If you are coming down the day before our track day this offer is good value for MG CAR CLUB members to cheer on Jason Plato and Sam Tordoff, though apparently other drivers are available to cheer . Once again, the MGCC have secured a very special offer for members wishing to go to the BTCC at Silverstone on 28th and 29th September. The deal is a weekend ticket with paddock access and in field parking for £18.50!! 15's and under go free.

Just a word of warning. Last track day I went to following BTCC event (Rockingham, 2011?) I had rubber type bits all over the front of my car that took some getting off. Something to look out for!! Not sure if the track staff sweep the circuit but it would help greatly if the parts of the track that we both use are thoroughly swept. Can a committee member check please? I will book the BTCC Sunday soon just waiting for my holiday plans to be made clear from the family. The above being said I am looking forward tro a great day on track.
Hi Martin, It is one of things that I have to check with Silverstone when finalising arrangements for the day, that the parts of the National circuit that are common to the GP circuit are fit for purpose following the BTCC boys.
But of course it also means the track's well rubbered in so from Brooklands to Copse, would it be a tad grippier? Maybe our rubber's the wrong sort, although my Avon ZZ3s always feel quite sticky after a session
FYI folks Our BTCC tickets arrived today with a map showing the MGCC parking area and something for the windscreen so they will let us through Stu
