CLUBS

How many cars does a club need to bring?
The minimum amount of cars allowed on a club stand is 5, there is no maximum. If your club does
not have enough cars booked by the club deadline, all cars will automatically be moved to the Special Display area.

I don’t have a German car but I want to display my car on a club stand?
Only German models are allowed to display. The organisers retain the rights to refuse entry or ask
you to leave.

We want to put up a gazebo and banners around our stand, is that okay?
You will need to fill in the Risk Assessment Form and make sure that it is securely erected. Banners
advertising your club are fine as long as they are suitable and in your designated club area. We
retain the right to charge you for the additional space, depending on the size.

Can we display bikes on our club stand?
Unfortunately, we do not allow motorcycles to be displayed at our event. The event is for cars exclusively.
How do we as a club get a good location at the event?

Clubs are plotted based on a first-come, first-served basis. The sooner your club books their tickets,
the more likely you are to get a ‘good’ location within the event.

Please do note, that we reserve the right to plot clubs as we see fit based on the ground conditions.

What will I receive when I book track time?
Upon booking track time, you will receive an email confirmation. Leading up to the event, you will
be sent details about your briefing and track time along with other important documentation that
you will need to bring with you. If you do not have this 3 days before the event, please contact us.

Can the club deadline change?
Kelsey Media have the right to close the club deadline prior to the date stated above. The club
deadline is in place subject to space and availability.

I didn’t select a vehicle pass upon booking, can I still display my car?
If you did not select a ‘driver and vehicle’ entry ticket and enter your vehicle details onto your order
then you will not be eligible to display your vehicle at the event. Once the deadline has passed, no
vehicle display passes will be issued and you will have to park in the public car park.

Can we raise money for a charity at the event?
If you are a registered charity or part of a registered charity (you will be asked to supply
accreditation) then you can collect from your stand only. Collecting around the site is not permitted.

Can we sell things from our stand?
You are allowed to sell branded club merchandise only e.g. t-shirts, stickers etc. You must not sell
anything else that is not related directly to your club.

What time can I leave?
The show closes at 17:00 and you may be asked to return to your stand before that time if it is
deemed unsafe for vehicle movement due to the volume of pedestrians.
