Interesting the Classic Organisers will be present- presumably to promote the event to Spectators and Clubs rather than competitors, as that side of the organisation is down to individual race grid organisers. |

London is the perfect market for pushing that event, people who are not perhaps huge fans, but have money and want more than racing, all the other tatt that goes on.
Perfect fodder for one of the most overpriced car meetings of the year. Perfect place to do PR, far better than RR anyway. |

Lille are advertising it on their website, being of the large variety I always need a made to measure, and I'd rather they measured me.

Mike I heard that the show opens at 3.00pm and Jackie officially opens it at 6.00pm.then it stays open untill 9.30pm on Thursday. That would mean a lot of hanging around for Martin. |

OK, after a diligent search of the website, the suggestion is that HMI opens at 1200, closes at 2030. The Classic Car Show opens at 1500 and closes at 2130.....
No idea how that is going to work, but if all else fails Martin needs to go for somewhere that does an all day breakfast! BTW, any Masters Historic Racing customers thinking of going, MHR were offering complementary tickets yesterday. By individual application- email or phone- I think. Also this evening, another offer of a freebie. Anyone interested, PM me, as I've already got a ticket. Looks like any day, one only per application......

Far too late for me! Especially Stoneleigh where people have to travel to get there, they've mostly left well before 5.00. Stupidity. And they wonder why exhibitor numbers are falling.

I would think more likely to work in London- As you say, most will be battling the midlands motorway network to get home from RR, so keen to get away!

RR discount codes?
Did anyone find discount codes for Race Retro tickets?
I really despair at event organisers when we have 2 similar events actually at the same time.What's that all about Colin |

Nope.
Seems it is 'war' between rival promoters, Colin........ |

Formerly there had a break in the fence behind the great hall of RR … Of course I dont recommend cose this is illegal!
Yes Mike its a war, Rétromobile just closed its doors on sunday night some people who've been there will tell you it was expensive (18 €). Was it worth is another question. Last edited by Gerard C; 14 Feb 2017 at 19:20. Reason: a good one! |

It would be great of course ! Had a look to the exhibitors list of Excel, seems like an upgraded version of Rétromobile so won't go (in spite my wife has a business trip London at the time of the show). I exhibited once at RR (may be 2007) and promised myself to go back and make profit with the jumble.
I'll let you know asap. |

Just discovered the thread "CC show at Excel" in the modern part of the forum. I join Heightswitch in his #6 comment about Rétromobile and Essen.

Seems Chaters have opted for London and not Stoneleigh. Although they were down on the exhibitor list for retro a week or two back.
Blast i needed a couple of new books! |

I'm hoping to make RR on Friday as long as Lille can smuggle me in under TFC's overalls ;-)
