Sports Cars in the Park 24th September 2023

Just thought I'd bring this up as I've not seen it mentioned on the forum and it's less than 3 weeks away now. It's being held at Newby Hall (Nr Ripon) again as the original plan for Castle Howard couldn't be agreed apparently. At least Newby is a known quantity and a good venue, with the marshalling improved a lot on entry since the early days.

All details can be found on their USUAL WEBSITE, including how to register and acquire tickets. If you use MBClub.co.uk as your group when registering it should assist with the parking, though they tend to lump us all together under the German banner anyway so not vital. It is worth noting that if you don't register and get a ticket, you won't get in and will have to pay to park in the public car park which is apparently dearer than buying a ticket.

I'll certainly be there, probably not in a Mercedes, though I will hopefully be sneaking into the German parking area.

I'll be there for the weekend as its a big drive for me!

Staying in Knaresborough so any recommendations for sights to see or pubs to attend will be greatly appreciated

I'm assuming what Mike said up there ^^^ Tony.

I've just checked and I paid £8.00 for driver and car. This may have been an early booking discount, not really sure, I've slept since then.

I've not actually printed the ticket off yet as I still have a few checks and tests to do on the Ford. Once printed you're tied to the registration and manufacturer but can still edit if left in the basket. Hopefully we'll be OK...

Yes the 1st week on sale was only £8 but on following the no of display car's it wasn't really worth it at the time I think its only around 200 now which would be a poor turn out
It would be an expensive day out for jo public at over £50 per family ticket

I'm definitely thinking about as I've never been there, I'll make a decision in the next few days.
