Does this mean you will not be parking with the rest of us?

I am undecided about doing the Hill at this point. Did some up the Brooklands Test Hill but that's over before you blink! I have registered with MMC for ticket notification in readiness, the only danger is the temptation to let fly, but then, a fishtail start to thrill the spectators would be fun! I can practice when leaving the golf club!  The drive there is similar to Shelsley start line. Slope,narrow. You could phone Shelsley about the width of the sheds....and turning circle to get in and out. From what I remember from 2 years ago there were some Aeros parked on the grass down on the approach to the sheds too.

It doesn't seem to take long to get up the Hill, although I was on for longer than many, but there is no timing or pressure to go quickly so take your time and enjoy the run. Having said that spinning the wheels away from the start and leaving the braking much later on my second run meant I was going a bit quicker than I had intended and tempted to buy a ticket for an extra run, brilliant fun. Being in the 'sheds' waiting with the other cars and owners for your time slot and then at the top of the Hill before coming back down added to the experience for me.

The sheds are a tight fit - two cars side by side. Two Roadsters are a very tight fit side by side. I don't think Aeros would fit easily if at all.

I'd see if you could arrange with MMC to reserve the grass area behind the sheds purely for Aeros that want to do the hill. It would be quite a display as a bonus!

If so I'd be more than happy to get the ball rolling...seeing as you are "laid up". Still if all goes well you should be walking again and more importantly driving again for the event! Peter
