Very few yanks this time? The 65 Vette roadster belongs to a neighbour of mine
I was gonna book for January, noticed another price hike on the entry.
No there weren't many other Yanks, Andy :?

Yes I see January's tickets are now £27 :shock: Bit of a hike from the previous event's (last week) price, £20.10 [-(
I love the place but once a year will be enough now, at these prices :roll:

Not sure if you knew but they are putting in for planning permission to run evening events there which would be good. Fair bit of opposition to it from nearby neighbours inevitably so we'll have to see where it goes. £20 is ok for admission these days but Can't help feeling they are trying to wring you with the scramble membership and now £27 to go in the depths of winter for a morning meet and the Wriggly Monkey pub has closed up.

They now have a lottery to get parked in the buildings but you have to be a Pegasus member which was £50 extra last year, probably more this year , i did do that last year but i probably wont again, you get drawn in by the offer of discounts and special events but really its bugger all, even with a member discount the Jan 25 tickets are still £26 each, they dont seemt to value American cars at the event, even if you get a pass they try and shove you out of the way in a corner somewhere. The event has sadly become very corporate, and dont get me started on the number of Porsches they let in.
There are quite a few ways to save money getting into Brooklands. 2 of us have been 4 times this year, total cost £40 so far and we'll prob get in on NYD in that as well.

great photos 8-) ;) thanks for posting :thumbright:

the quantity and quality of the motors reminds me of an outdoor NEC, then I read Andy’s comment about it getting corporate and the number of Porsches … enough said :roll:
