WTCC at Brands Hatch/Marshal's Pass

Red_08 · 4 Jul 2009, 00:20 (Ref:2495668)

Hiya folks,

I'm seriously thinking about seeing if I can volunteer for the WTCC, but whilst I was doing my research on it I happened across the MSVR Passes for 2009.

Now should I be accepted to Marshal, I'm assuming that I need to fill the form in and apply for one of these passes, hopefully getting it in time to go down to Brands Hatch on the 16th July. Would this seem correct to you wise BH regulars?

Thanks for your future help.

For such short notice you may be sent paper tickets, email/phone Mildred to check.

Thanks for the reply TwoSheds.

This morning I fired off an email to bhmarshals@... to see if the passes could be done at short notice. But I'll root out an email addy for Mildred and see if the paper method is ok. Would be great if I can do the meet.

And meet some more Orange folks

Cheers Dean.

I've sent Mildred an email explaining where I'm up to and if I could do the meet. So I'll give it the weekend and then send off for the pass etc if I've not heard back.

In the meantime I'll do a search for info on the camping situation and evening entertainment situation

Just in case anyone wondered, we're all good! The ball is rolling and fingers crossed I'll be helping out at the WTCC.

See you there mate!

Red_08 · 6 Jul 2009, 07:46 (Ref:2496409)

Nice one Mike.

I'll catch you on the campsite hopefully or are you going under a proper roof?

Mike Kelly 1 · 6 Jul 2009, 09:09 (Ref:2496439)

Camp site. Hope to get there around 6pm on Thursday night.

haystacks · 6 Jul 2009, 16:07 (Ref:2496694)

Mike, I take it the Pikies will be there again.

See you there as I assume it,s in the same place again. The campstie that is not Brands. Or there again, both. This could go on for ages.

Red_08 · 7 Jul 2009, 08:02 (Ref:2497069)

Do we know which campsite we can use? Or does that information come out with any instructions we get?

Bodysnatcher · 7 Jul 2009, 08:47 (Ref:2497086)

With final instructions. Should be with us very soon.

Lets hope they remember to order the showers/toilets/water this time

Maybe two? - there's neither showers nor loos...otherwise you might get a bit lonely on post with the 'strange odour' you might be producing

Dave Scott did apologise for the c#ck-up at the Masters (?) at the following morning's briefing. I will be surprised if it happens again.

captainbradders · 7 Jul 2009, 10:41 (Ref:2497162)

I should hopefully be there for my first day of mashalling

focuszetec · 7 Jul 2009, 12:23 (Ref:2497238)

I will be there on Thursday afternoon with beer, a new tent and new camping stove! See you all there

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE make sure you don't get the two buckets mixed up

andyrjt1 · 7 Jul 2009, 20:23 (Ref:2497487)

Sue and I will be there about 3 on friday afternoon wiv ze tent and all accoutrements, hopefully the showers and loo's will be there as in the past and lets hope the weather isnt like it was the first time the WTCC came to Brands, will never forget those immortal words from race control whilst trying to cram 6 people into a dog kennel on post 14......race start delayed try and get out of the rain!! pointless really as we were soaked to the skin and the ground around the post resembled the Somme....oh happy days!!

Robin_D · 7 Jul 2009, 20:25 (Ref:2497489)

Am thinking of doing the WTCC but am wondering if anyone is travelling down from this way and wants to share a lift, either way round really??

Remember it well. I was post chief on post 10 and we all made a dash for the med centre! Stood in there dripping all over the clean floor!

Red_08 · 7 Jul 2009, 22:39 (Ref:2497534)

So, now I need to pack a canoe, buckets, possibly a spade and air fresheners. Got it!! *

Going to be quite a trip.

*And some beer!!
