    Donnington was good silverstone wasnt.. cant find how to register for tickets on the page tho..
    And on the way up the game last year was spot all the car parts that had fell off we almost had a whole cars worth of parts seen, several tyres lots of trim etc. the ammount of junk dumped was ridiculous.

    When the tickets are released - Early April i believe - they will be available from here...

    I just wish they'd start charging a little bit for the tickets - or significantly reducing the amount of tickets available. To filter out the people who "...only go as the tickets are free" or..."it's a free day out"!!!

    It's getting far too busy now - too many people all in the same areas, you can't see anything around the paddock and a joke with the roads gtting in and out.

    I completely agree - at Donington a couple of years ago it was absolutely full of people who had no interest in motorsport whatsoever - it's hard trying to watch races when there are families getting in the way when they're there to enjoy the rides, food etc etc.

    I'd have paid for the one I went to, if these people weren't there!

    Everyone is getting tickets because they are free - just to go and drink and mess about. Motor racing tracks are not suitable places for young kids running around and especially pushchairs!!!

    It means that every year there are "REAL" Motorsport fans who apply for a couple of tickets and are not able to get them.

    Even if Renault charged £10.00 per ticket to their annual charity then you'd soon filter out people who just go because its free!!!

    I've expressed this opinion to Renault in their Post Event Questionnaire.

    think youre missing the point about free tickets. Renault want as many bums on seats as poss, all them prospective customers.

    I agree with the principle but if you looked at half of the attendees, you'd know that a new car is not what they're in the market for!

    (I guess you could say the other half are!)

    I'm not sure who you think you are to say that these things are not suitable for young kids and pushchairs!!!!

    My husband and I, along with my son, are huge fans of racing and regularly attend F1 and WRC events - why should we not attend just because we happen to have small children??? I'm no less worthy of a ticket, free or otherwise, than you......
