Ticket discounts for motor club members
Stands at Race Retro 2007, the 4th International Historic Motorsport Show at Stoneleigh on 23-25 March, are being taken at such a rate that the main hall is almost sold out -- with four months still to go!
Among the most enthusiastic are the motoring and motorsport clubs, keen to bring more of their members to the world's only show dedicated to historic motorsport. Already, more than 50 clubs with motorsport connections (on two wheels or four) have joined a scheme to offer ticket discounts to their members.
The discounted tickets, representing a £3 saving on the Show's on-the-day ticket price-- and £5 off a two-day ticket -- are being promoted through individual club magazines.
Organisations already involved in the scheme include Audi Club, Classic Rally Association, Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs, Ferrari Owners' Club, Hillclimb & Sprint Association, Historic Rally Car Register, Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club, Lotus 7 Club, Lotus Drivers' Club, MG Car Club, MG Owners' Club, TR Register and Vintage Sports-Car Club.More clubs are joining every week.
Chris Cunnington, General Manager of the TR Register, explains the enthusiasm: "We had such a wonderful time at last year's Show that we wanted to encourage as many of our members as possible to be there in March.People need heroes, that's what it's all about, and Race Retro showcases the cream of historic motorsport. Discount tickets are a way to help more of our members share the experience."
Aside from the reduced cost of entry, there are other benefits for club members::: A Club Class Lounge will be open to any motoring or motorsport club member, simply by presenting your club membership card.:: Any visitor arriving at the Show in a classic car will be directed to a free car park (saving£5 per day), close to the exhibition halls and Club Class Lounge. :: Each club participating in the scheme will benefit by retaining a portion of the ticket price.:: Club members buying discount tickets will, of course, have full access to all exhibition halls and all the live events, plus access to the auction preview on the Friday, as well as the Club Class Lounge.
