Quite a few people require meeting others for tickets.
If we do, I suggest leaving earlier than last year. Hopefully whoever Castle Combe subcontract the stewarding to won't make the same almighty custard cream-up this time. Informing clubs where their stand is and having entry marshals hold the same info would help avoid them directing people into the wrong lane and causing utter chaos at the pinch point inside the gate.
I'm wondering whether it might be better to go the back way through Kingston St Michael instead of the main drag.
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!
It didn't make a difference last year, everyone was queuing from all angles. There were cars queued up from the Kingston turning backing up the road, with no one wanting to let them out.
They will be posted out today - I fear that I will spend my one rest day out of 14 days writing envelopes all day! lol.
These were also included and will be sent in x4 random envelopes. Could you be the lucky one....
Club stand entrance closes at 9:30 so I would say that people need to get there earlier rather than later. Apparently the new style of tickets should make things go a lot quicker as the marshalls don't need to stop cars or direct them - just view the ticket hanging from your mirror and wave you through
woo, cant wait
I will be getting there very early (6am) just to make sure I don't spend half the show waiting outside again. (although tickets seem to have improved I am still not sure this will eliminate it just due to the sheer number of cars turning up and only have a couple of entrance points.)

They haven't released that info yet
I was told by the Japfest organizers that it will be posted on their website at some stage this week. I'm going to be annoyed if it is the same plot as last year! lol

Thats different to previous years. Normally the position of the stand is put onto the stand passes/tickets.
Rev 3 N/A - RIP :(
Rev 2 Turbo - Sold :(
Rev 1 N/A - Road Legal Track Car
Rev 1 V6 - Co-owned side project
Tickets/passes have had a complete overhaul this year and are different
As per the photo this year it is literally just a large sign you put your reg on and then hang over your rear view mirror... all of them just say GATE 2 on them. There is no indication from the entry tickets where we might be placed.... I did query it with the organizers....
Just watch their website I guess - I did specify certain locations that I did not want us to be in under any circumstances, and I also emailed them and spoke to them regarding where we don't want to be. If they still place us in the same spot as the last couple of years I just give up lol

I really don't get why the organisers need to be so coy about it all. See below.

You need to go to Specsavers mate. The tickets clearly say Gate A.
I'm fairly sure the 2 refers to the area once inside. Castle Combe regulars will know that in recent years we have entered by Gate C whereas Gate A is at the village end. My bet is that area 2 will be to the left as you go in.
Do I get a free box of Haribo if I'm right?

Its been a long day but yes I clearly do need my eyes checking. In my defense there is a big 2 written on there, I just got so memorized by it that I also missed the large A written there as well lol
Fingers crossed we are in a different area - we should be with the amount I've nagged them and called them regarding it!! Village area would be great if last year is anything to go by... I wonder which poor club would be demoted to the mudfield of our old plot lol

In 2008 (my first time) we were in Area D (Gate B) along the path up to Avon Rise (the opposite side to 2007).

I didn't realise until looking through those that two of my cars are pictured. My original red Rev 3 tubby and the white one I bought the following year to do the Highland Drive.
Ever since we have been shunted further and further into the boondocks. Be nice to have a better pitch, although it will be a longer walk to Quarry which is where most people get it all wrong!
The circuit hasn't changed so the site plan and Gate indentifiers are the same. They seem to be using numbers this year instead of letters to identify the location within the circuit. My 2012 ticket reads Gate C Area QR.
