We have just had this email from Castle Combe with confirmation of the details.
There are a few details that I need to check with them but will leave it a couple of days as you are sure to have some other questions.
The usual free passes are not available this time but the entry fee is £3.42 and is explained in the email.
CLASSIC & RETRO ACTION DAY "" SATURDAY 29TH JUNE 2013
50 years of the Porsche 911 Special Feature Parade
We can't compete with Silverstone attracting 911 Porsche 911's, in fact having run a parade last year for 275 Mini's we know logistically it would be almost impossible for us getting the cars on and off the track "" unless we had several hours.
But, we can do it differently, have a little fun and, in our own way celebrate this milestone just as effectively "" but with a major add-on.
It was 1963 when AFN "" the then Porsche importers took over the circuit lease and the company name was established as AFN (Castle Combe) Limited and of course the first time a Porsche ever raced in the UK was at Castle Combe in 1952 so we have history!!!
Whilst we will also be welcoming Porsche clubs for our annual race meeting on Monday 26th August and providing a 2-for-1 ticket offer and reserved parking, we can ensure that on the Action Day we get you out onto the track.
Therefore the proposal is simple. When the car was launched in 1963 the equivalent value of £50.00 then was just £3.42, so if you are a member of either Porsche Club GB or TIPEC you are welcome to apply. For £3.42 you get a bargain. Two admission tickets to gain entry to the Classic & Retro Action Day and a special Parade Pass to participate in the special 50th Anniversary of the 911 at 14:00.
Please note this will be an escorted parade, limited to strictly 50 cars following a pace car at modest speeds "" we will also make sure the pace car is of course a Porsche.
There will also be special reserved area for 50 cars that will participate in the parade.
So please apply through your Club Secretary and, as the supermarkets say, "when the places are gone, then they are gone". But of course additional admission passes and track time can be purchased "" tickets are £12.00 (£15.00 on the day) and track passes £30.00 (£35.00 on the day).
For further details please contact us on 01249 782417 or for online bookings please check out our website at www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk.
We look forward to your visit.
