World Series by Renault - Parking details

[Pootle]

All collectors parking this year is being organised by Stephen Dell at the Renault Alpine Owners Club for Renault Heritage. We will not have a club dedicated area. However if your car fits into one of the categories below, fill in the booking form and get it sent off ASAP!! Hopefully we will all be parked up together somehow.
Because this is no longer a 'club' event for us, it will not count towards our Car of the Year awards.

**********************************************​

Here is the current list of eligible Clio variants according to the rules (bent slightly!):

1.2/1.4 16V (in theory, e.g Late Dynamique, Extreme)
1.4 S (TBC)
1.8 RSi (TBC)
1.8 16V
2.0 16V
Williams I, II, III
172/182/Trophy
197
V6 230/255
+ Extensively modified cars.

All these vehicles can park in the collectors area and participate in the vehicle parades.

Will parking still be on the infield?

Do we have to park in the collectors bit?

Don't want to put mine in with its stupid large dent but don't want to park outside with the commoners either...

oh, and one thing to note is:
"Collectors' vehicles may leave the exhibition area only when the exhibition closes"!

don't know, thats for the organisers to tell you.

it's either public car park, or fill in this form and be part of the event.

thats the same for any show we go to. vehicles should not be moved until the end of the show.

 

[jooliona]

umm does that mean ur not allowed to drive away at the end of Saturdays proceedings?!

 

[Pootle]

yes. it means that vehicle movement during the event each day will be restricted. that way if everyone is parked up you don't get the constant moving of cars!!

 

[jooliona]

umm ok, so basically i cant drive my car to the hotel on saturday night ?!?!!?

taxi for two then!

 

[Big Iain]

how come no club stand?

 

[Day]

how come no club stand?

There is as such...

All other Renault owners clubs have been invited.

I'm pretty sure once the last race is over you will be able to remove your vehicle and go back to your hotel etc!!

 

[M.C..]

why do they need insurance details?

 

[Day]

why do they need insurance details?

Vehicle parade I guess.

We might get to lap Donington

 

[M.C..]

but you aint insured if you go on track anyway

 

[jooliona]

thank god for that

No diesels?
Do Blisteon damapers and racing brakes quality as modified?

 

[jooliona]

arse. no parade for me then. i've asked but insurance wont cover it!

presumably even parking inside the track will be a problem. so i guess i'm slumming it with the goobers! oh well, at least i can leave before the end of the day if i want...

 

[dick]

u dont need to be insured on track tho do you?

 

[jooliona]

apparently, you do! according to diamond anyway. i even told them it wasnt a race, timed, etc but they're being miserable c***s about it

or does that mean i can go on track, but my policy wont pay out if anything happens? in that case nobody hit me please!!! lol

 

[White16valver]

Be careful though as there was a post on here that linked to a mazda(?) forum about how someone had driven up the Santa Pod strip and his company refused to pay out on something completely unrelated that happened on the way home iirc.

I think numberplates and tax disks need to come off if people are going on track! lol

 

[jooliona]

thats a stinker! god they know how to ruin ppls fun dont they

pity i sent off the application form saturday!

 

[Seymour]

tbh with the parade lap you wont be going very fast so im sure you can risk it by going onto the track.last year they were behind the pace car and cause it was raining they were only going bout 30mph.

 

[jooliona]

but if my insurer finds out it sounds like they will invalidate my policy regardless!!

another qu.. does "infield" parking mean parking inside the track area??

 

[edde]

You can go on track they just won't apy out for any claim. I told me insurance company I'd be tracking my car and IU was aware of the situation.

They cannot refuse to pay out if its on the road.

No need to remove anything on circuit some people do so if you did bin it they tow there cars off track and claim on there insurance any no photoes show the car crashed on circuit.

Infield parking means parking on the huge grass bit in the center of the race ciruit.

No need to be insured on track track day organisers (I'd guess Renault organisers would be the same ) demand you sign an agreement that you accept there no insurance if some crashes into you its your problem not theres. Hence if I crash into a Ferrari on track its the problem not mine.

 

[jooliona]

reckon i'd better check with them first tho, in case something like this happens!

[jooliona]

how miserable is this

Thank you for your recent Email. We would cover your vehicle if it was
parked
on a public road or in the spectators car park. However we would not
cover
your vehicle if it were to be parked on the track as this would be
classed as
being part of the event.

 

[Karlos182]

TBH jooliona, I think you are worrying about nothing. It's not like you'll be doing a track day - it's just a slow speed parade lap. You'd have to be a total numpty to crash on a parade lap!

 

[edde]

how miserable is this

Your not parked on track your parked on the car park which happen to be in the middle of the track.

As for crashing when on circuit well laps will be slow and few people crash even on track days when there going all out.

 

[jooliona]

well screw them then eh :rasp:

tbh i think its more at risk of being nicked/broken into from the spectators car park than the infield, but never mind!! i did try to explain that parking would be "in" the track rather than "on" it

i dare say i am worrying about nothing, just its my first experience of such an event so i really have no idea what to expect... i agree the chances of crashing in a parade lap are slim to none, as i would hope that everyone has their sense of self-preservation after all

lets do it!

:race:

Don't worry about it its a great day out (even better if its not wet) don't worry abotu your car ther'll be load of other owners who take the same car of there cars as you would.

[Tom1600]

Is the 'insurance certificate ref' on the form just the policy number or something else?

 

[Maz]

[Saner]

This might be a silly question, but what about the looky likes?

All teh 1.2's that look like 172's? They are exstensivly modded, but not add on kits etc?
