[ARCHIVED] Alpina Parade Lap Silverstone Friday 24th July 15

Post by Norrie » Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:51 am

I had a phone call from Jenn at BMW Car Club GB Limited to say that Goose had agreed to provide a parade lap at around lunch time for Alpina cars on Friday 24th July 15.

This is the first day of the Silverstone Classic. When I get more detail I will add to this post. There normally is a code which will allow you to buy a ticket from Silverstone and get one ticket free, however it only gives one car Alpina pass. The normal procedure is, when you arrive, you are directed to the Alpina section of the BMW CC and this is infield parking at Silverstone where you can display your car.

There are a few hard core owners who come every year, but as this is the 50th perhaps we will get a few more and at least enough to justify the parade lap. I don't know why they gave the Friday as opposed to the weekend I was not involved in any discussions.

I should be there on the Friday, so will drop over to say hello. Unfortunately I'll probably be going in my CSL, not the C2 though

Alpina parade lap - Silverstone 15

Just an up date, the organiser Goose has been requested to provide an alternative day as opposed to the Friday. It was felt that a Friday would not attract enough people and therefore could be a potential embarrassment for all involved.

Therefore, the Friday has been declined, if no alternative is available we will reassess the presence of Alpina at this event.

However, there is a hard core of around 10 of us who are also members of the BMWCCGB who attend and we have our own area, so we shall be there as usual, please feel free to join us no matter what else may or may not take place.

Thanks for all the updates, was just about to book for the Fri/Sat but will wait a bit longer.. I did think a Friday lap was a bit strange but as I have never been there on the Friday I don't know how many people attend that day..
