    I found that my security settings in IE were too high for it, I lowered them and the page loaded so that I could apply.

    It will be great fun for the kids but please bear in mind that some of the cars are VERY noisy (sometimes at the limit of pain!!) - the Clio racing etc is fine but the Formula Renault cars and the F1 car they run round the track are extremely loud, even from a couple of hundred yards away. There were lots of Renault trade stands etc last year offering earplugs! However if you have little tiny ones, might be worth investing in some earmuffs or similar because plugs might be too big!
    so does anyone know where i can get ear protectors for 4 year old & baby?!
    Cleaning the house while children are growing is like shovelling snow when it's still snowing!

    You can get soft earplugs for kids from Boots. Otherwise, might be worth checking out https://www.babybiker.co.uk to see if they can help.

    will baby need a ticket? or would i be best asking grandma to have him? wasn't looking forward to it before but think i might go with him now - asked for 4 tickets as he has loads of friends who would love to go if me & kids didn't but they may have to get their own!

    No - checked with Renault last year. Children don't need their own tickets. Can't remember if it was under-18s or under-16s but babies certainly don't need tickets.

    Not sure how much a young baby would be able to cope with though. Perhaps you'd enjoy it more if a kind friend could babysit for you! :D

    I'd be taking my three year old but we haven't got that far to drive, so it won't matter so much if we leave early. :)

    I went last year with 3 friends & had a great time. There were free ear plugs handed out in goody bags and a free funfair for the kids but don't think a baby would enjoy the weekend, its really loud and busy.
    Look forward to going again this year. Last year the used tyres were given away so if you fancy a tyre from a formula one car as a coffee table with a difference get there early. Also if you're a veggie about the only the food edible is limited to chips so take your own grub.
