Those who used the ALPINA code will shortly if not already receive their display pass. Externally its Entrance Gate 3, infield Point C (Copse tunnel)
and Zone 8.

Don't forget to download or access your tickets you need to create a Silverstone account via their own website, unless you already have one. These can be printed off or displayed on a suitable phone.

Dear All, please note if you did not use the code and book your tickets and ALPINA display pass then you are sadly far too late. Those sales have finished. We have no influence or opportunity to provide or acquire additional tickets or display passes. It finished 31st may 21 and was advertised for 18 months approx.

There may be someone who has a display pass (note the car registration is not pre printed on them this year) and tickets who cannot attend. I am not currently aware of anyone. Unfortunately due to GDPR the organiser does not give names of those who have used the code so we cannot help there either.

If anyone cannot go and has the pass perhaps they might mention it here.

It has been on this register posted by SPA 69 for some considerable time.

I believe that Mark Wells posted on one of the FB groups that he is unlikely to be able to attend and was offering his ticket/parking pass.

Its not until end of the month, I am sure there will be some pictures. Hope the queues are better than this weekends F1, its been chaos evidently. I shall be watching from the comfort of my arm chair 150K people piling into Silverstone is not for me. The classic is far more relaxed.

Due to an error by Silverstone they sent an email to every person who has booked at ticket. That email contained details of where to park and how to find the allocated area.

This only applies to those who have purchased a Car Club display package. If you have just purchased general admission tickets you will park in the public car parks and enter on foot.

One week until the first day of the Classic. Its an event I really enjoy, I am quite surprised that more people did not want to or could not due to other commitments attend. However, with Covid, being pinged and a host of other things to do I guess its very much down to last minute decisions?

Unfortunately, Goose Events will not allow any more vehicles to display after the cut off date of 31 May 21. There is also no possibility to swap from one Club to another if you have booked and wanted to change your mind.

We are separate and in Zone 8, so if you are there even if not booked on our stand, please feel free to say Hi.

I am unable to attend on Friday, as I have just had a day from hell, and have run out of time and energy to prepare for a very early start to get to Silverstone before 1000hrs.
All being well I shall be at the hotel Friday night, and at Silverstone Saturday and Sunday.
