Date change - Now 28/29/30 July


This date thing change is a real pain in the back side, it will now clash again with a load of other things that weekend including Carfeast North and a *** meet at Beaulieu to name a few.

From memory SSC has always been the last weekend of July, so it doesn't clash with anything. All the others clash with it! Carfest is a newcomer in comparison and it only clashed last year for the first time due to ginger changing dates. As for Bleeeuuuurrrr.... I don't know how long it has been running.
why don't these organisers look at their diaries and work around the long established events!

Friday night music line-up
The Friday night line-up has now been confirmed (http://silverstoneclassic.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a066739e707c33b06deacd912&id=36641f7175&e=f0ce9410db) with a special Summer of Love celebration planned. The Bootleg Beatles, widely hailed as the world’s premier Fab Four tribute group, will be topping the Friday night bill and further #1 live tribute acts – Who’s Next and Are You Experienced? – will be joining The Bootleg Beatles, celebrating the hits of The Who and Jimi Hendrix respectively.

Saturday evening’s live music line-up will have more of an eighties feel to it and full details will be announced shortly.



..... hopefully saturday will save the weekend! really don't like the beatles!!!! lol

Just a reminder to everyone that the Early Bird Ticket offer will end on the 31st March.
Club Stand passes will still be available until the end of May.

As last year the organisers are holding a Concours event - so how about putting an extra layer of polish on your PAJ and put it forward.

The full music line-up is now confirmed for the Silverstone Classic!









Spandau Ballet’s former front-man Tony Hadley is topping Saturday night’s bill at the Classic this year and The Dire Straits Experience, formed when original sax-playing band member, Chris White, teamed-up with singer-songwriter Terence Reis, will also be taking to the stage on Saturday evening. The unforgettable music of Spandau Ballet and Dire Straits defined the eighties and it’s going to be very special to hear all those timeless songs performed again at this summer’s Silverstone Classic.



......so that's better then!

For anyone still thinking about this, the Early-Bird prices expire on Friday, but you can still get 2-for-1 tickets and an infield parking / display pass until the end of May. Club code is in the Owners Club section of the forum.

3 weeks left to get your car pass and 2 for 1 tickets - so far we only have 11 cars going :-(

Still working on Honda for the Marquee and Topiary.

Tea and Coffee free for the event - what more incentive do you need?

Hi, Dimer.
Congratulations on another successful NSXCE Tour.

I’m afraid the Car Club Display package (2 x ticket + Club display stand car pass) ended midnight last night so you just missed it….

You can still get the general admission ticket that includes free parking at the public car park (around the main entrance) but not the infield club display stand.

The online method to change the car reg. no. printed on the club car pass also ended yesterday if someone got new reg. no. for one’s NSX or decided to take another NSX from one’s collection.

You may still be able to change the car pass to different Reg. No. on the day at the ticket booth if someone can no longer attend the event or have the club car pass that is not in use.

There are at least 3 major car events on the same day in UK this year so there is a chance that someone may sell their ticket.
You may be able to find it on this Forum or from time to time, SeeTicket (the company behind many event tickets) lists them as fan-to-fan re-sell tickets but never tried it.

The on-line car club ticket system no longer accepts the club code so you can only call them to see whether they will still allow club ticket purchase over the phone or not.

Mike (sorepaws) may have extra info so please try contacting him.

The information from Kaz is the best I could also give, calling the organisers may still be a good route to try

With at least 3 major car events on the same weekend (Carfest North, Beaulieu Simply Japanese, Silverstone Classic), not sure how many owners will be there but according to the SeeTickets website, 59% of the tickets have been despatched.

As far as I'm aware we've got the 8 Club/Forum members signed-up above, plus 2 off-forum (Gerard van Santen and Rob Kendall), plus a mystery NC1 visitor.

I don't think we've got anyone else. Shame, but we'll still have fun...

Just wanted to say big thank you to Mike (sorepaws) for co-ordinating us for the event with the organisor and taking Honda UK on board again this year.

Thank you to Honda UK for supporting the NSX community again despite not many of us attending this year and also under the strict control of the organiser of which I'm quite sure not that attractive from the point of marketing purpose.


Nice meeting some of you here and hope everyone had good time and safely back home.
