Lancia Motor Club

This event will be held over the week-end of 26th-28th July.
Group C racing will feature again, with a race on Saturday evening into the dusk, bringing back memories of Le Mans 24hrs past and present.

Let's hope they cut back on the security this year.

As a number of you who attended last year know, I won’t be organising our display this year.

I’ve done it for a few years and it’s probably time for a change of approach as the numbers have stagnated at around a dozen cars at best. I believe it could be a much bigger event in the club calendar (summer version of the NEC?) and maybe someone else will have some better ideas to get more members involved.

I’m also very busy this year with other things and the 3 days at Silverstone plus lead in time is probably too much for one person.

Thank you very much to everyone who brought their car along in the past and enjoyed the day, if anyone wants to take it on for this year, I am very happy to give any guidance through the Silverstone organisational process, and it is very rewarding to see a good varied display of Lancias being admired and their owners discovering what a great event this really is.

Time for buying Early Bird tickets for Silverstone Classic is running out, nine days left!

The LMC is now a registered car club for this year’s Silverstone Classic. This entitles a 2 for 1 ticket deal and infield parking. The car club ticket discount booking code is C13280. Please note that the car club ticket discount code ends 31 May!

Thank you Charles for organising this year!!!

Tim

If anyone would like to go halves on "Two for the price of one deal" please let me know. Richard

I've sent out an email on behalf of Charles to all UK members this lunchtime with details of the event and links to this thread and the booking page (with the code pre-inserted).

Thanks for taking this on Charles, it would have been a shame to let the momentum of the last few years slip away.
You seem to have it all under control but if you have any questions you think I might be able to help with please pm me.

Martin.

I only filled out the forms and handed over £10 to the organisers. Everything else has been done by Steve and Tim. So thanks guys.

I have just booked tickets myself and will be taking Flaminia PF.

Booked for Friday and Saturday, bringing the Monte.

Just in time, Club ticket sales close today I understand.

Martin.

Looks like just you and me on the stand then Martin!  ;D

I have a club ticket booked for Friday so all being well will be there with the Fanalone.

I will be there on the Saturday with the Flaminia GT, being my first time, are there any instructions to find others in the infield or will the marshals know where to park me? Also I noticed the LMC is not mentioned on their website as registered car club.

Jay, that maybe because it was a bit last minute club entry but they should know where the LMC area is (roughly!) still, it's rather fun cruising around trying to find it ... I've always arrived around 8am giving enough time to chat, get coffee and go find somewhere to watch the racing. Most of the stands are open you can go where you like (including the pits). Shame I can't go this year as I'm busy that weekend.

The organisers have yet again asked us to repeat: Entry to the Silverstone Classic is by advance ticket only. go to www.silverstoneclassic.com. Im looking forward to the weekend and will take the Integrale.

According to the official web-site, quick-Nic (Nicolas Minassian) who drove a Group C Martini Racing Lancia LC2 with some success at last year's Classic, will this year be piloting the sole-surviving Silk Cut Jaguar XJR14, something I am very much looking forward to.

A quiet moment at the end of the day.
