Donington Historic Festival - Donington Park, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, May 2nd, 3rd and 4th 2015.
Dan and myself have registered the club for an infield club Stand - currently targeting to have 10 cars.
COME AND JOIN US FOR ANY OR ALL OF THE 3 DAYS AND ENJOY THE GREAT RACING
Club Members need to get the Club 2 for 1 Discount Code from myself - membership@vauxhallviva.com or 07757 276985 and let me know what cars you are bringing so we can keep a record of stand content.
With close-fought racing every day, over 400 historic racing cars spanning seven decades, historic rally car and karting action and a ‘living motoring museum’ created by dozens of car clubs displays – plus a host of other attractions – exhilaration and entertainment is guaranteed, whether you buy a ticket for one, two or all three days! On each day of the Festival gates open at 07.30am and the circuit activity starts at 9.10am, finishing at around 6.30pm.
The provisional timetable will be announced early in 2015.
Members of car clubs registered to attend the event benefit from a two-for-one ticket offer on advance tickets when they quote their unique club code at time of booking (deadline Saturday, April 25th), and, at the time of booking, will be asked to request the number of infield passes they require, allowing them to join the other cars on display in the club's dedicated infield parking area. Children aged 15 and under (accompanied by an adult) get in for free.

BOOKING TICKETS
Car club ticket deadline
Please note the club ticket booking deadline of 5pm on Saturday, April 25th
How members can buy tickets online
There's a button on the home page of the website that links directly to advanced ticket sales, - the link is:
http://doningtonpark.seetickets.com/tou ... c-festival
Members must enter the club's unique offer code (Club Members need to get the Club 2 for 1 Discount Code from myself - membership@vauxhallviva.com or 07757 276985 )and press the 'use code' button, then the prices on the page will change to your club prices, rather than the full prices originally displayed. At that point they will also be asked to request infield display parking passes.
NB, please note that car club discounted tickets are offered in multiples of two, and the price shown is the discounted price for one ticket. When you add two tickets to their basket, you will therefore be getting two tickets for the (full) price of one. If you want four tickets for the price of two full-priced ones, you must click '4'!
Children aged 15 and under (accompanied by an adult) get in for free. And each ticket gives two-for-one entry to the Donington Grand Prix Collection over the weekend and for the following two months.
Buying tickets over the phone
Ticket hotline number is: 0844 873 7355 Members will need to quote the car club code to take advantage of the club offer.
"See Tickets" charges
"See Tickets" levies the following additional charges on top of our ticket prices - a booking fee per ticket to cover their admin costs, plus a transaction fee on the total order. Booking fees are:
Ticket type Booking Fee
£20 Saturday, Sunday or Monday single day ticket £1.00
£32 Saturday + Sunday or Sunday + Monday 2-day ticket £1.60
£45 3-day weekend ticket £2.26
So two Saturday tickets bought using a car club two-for-one offer code will incur a £1 total booking fee and therefore cost £21.00 (i.e. £10.50 per person) plus the transaction fee.
The transaction fee is a one-off post and packaging cost for the total order, and that is the same whether a member is buying one pair of tickets or 25 pairs of tickets.
The transaction fee is £1.95 per order for first class post and
£6.40 for registered post.
So the total cost for those two Saturday tickets bought using a car club code and sent first class post will be £22.95.
Ticket Despatch - about three weeks before the event.
CAR CLUB PARADES
There will be one each day of the Festival, at lunchtime, featuring a maximum of 100 cars (across all clubs) each day. This is a hugely popular part of the event, and places will be decided on a ‘draw’ system, which is the fairest way! Numbers of parade cars per club will be confirmed in advance and special parade car passes will be produced, and members who are taking part must sign on at our club admin tent in the infield and collect their parade passes there. Further details will follow.
ACCOMMODATION
Camping is available next door to the circuit - at the Donington Park Farm House Hotel. Details of camping, hotels and local B&Bs can be found here: http://www.donington-park.co.uk/about-d ... mmodation/
DISABLED VISITORS
Disabled ticket holders that require full time assistance should be provided with one free ticket at the gate for their care assistant, partner or accompanying friend. In order to receive this free ticket, the disabled visitor will need to bring along a copy of their most recent DLA letter showing their current entitlement as well as their blue badge, should they require car parking on site. The disabled access area and viewing point will be confirmed before the event.
