FOR a second consecutive year Rockingham is delighted to announce a price freeze on adult admission tickets as the Northamptonshire circuit prepares for a bumper season of top-class motor racing.
Rockingham has extended its racing calendar for 2010 and fans will have the opportunity to watch some of the most exciting and exhilarating motor racing action in the UK at last year’s prices.
The opening round of the Dunlop Great & British Motorsport Festival will once again provide the curtain-raiser to Rockingham’s new motorsport season when it returns to the circuit in the spring on April 10/11.
The two-day festival is the first of many club meetings being held at Rockingham in 2010 with the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC) hosting three events throughout the season supported by the awesome 150mph Pick-up Trucks on the 1.5 mile banked-oval.
The British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) also returns twice to the track in September and November, while Britcar starts the entertainment in a double racing-header over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Advance adult Sunday tickets for the Dunlop Great & British Motorsport Festival, Britcar and the BRSCC and BARC club meetings cost just £12 or for the more dedicated fan, weekend passes are priced at only £18. Entry on Saturday is £8.
After successfully staging last season’s penultimate round of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship, Rockingham makes an early appearance on the 2010 calendar when it hosts round four, five and six on Sunday, April 25.
Fans can save up to 20 per cent on adult admission prices by booking in advance. Tickets for Sunday’s race day cost just £23, weekend passes are priced at only £28, while entry for the qualifying rounds on Saturday is £11. Book your tickets before January 31 and receive a free BTCC programme worth £5.
Rockingham has a summer date with the Cooper Tires British F3 International Series & Avon Tyres British GT Championship, where some of the world’s future Formula One stars will be on show at the circuit on July 17/18.
Advance adult tickets are on sale for this event and cost £16 (Sunday), £20 (weekend) and £10 (Saturday) respectively. December sees the return of the popular Rockingham Stages for the seventh year running as the circuit continues to support rallying at grass roots level.
Rockingham Chairman Len O’Hagan said: “With the addition of extra race meetings this year, we are delighted to announce a bumper race calendar for 2010, which builds on the success of the past few years.
“Once again our calendar offers a diverse range of events from the UK’s premier motor racing series right down to grass roots motorsport. Coupled with the price freeze on adult admission tickets, race weekends at Rockingham provide great value for a fantastic family day out.”
During each race weekend there will be plenty of opportunity to get close to the racing action with an open paddock and free grandstand seats for everyone.
Rockingham prides itself as being one of the most family-friendly motor racing venues and the circuit is delighted to continue to offer free admission for all children aged 15-years-old and under (maximum two child tickets per one paying adult).
Season passes for 2010 are also available and will provide holders access to a minimum of 10 race events at Rockingham, including the BTCC, and cost just £115 each. That is a saving of more than 20 per cent.
Advance bookings for all race meetings can be made by calling the ticket hotline on 01536 500500 or on-line at rockingham.co.uk - fans who are registered disabled can apply for a free season pass or event ticket for their carer. Written proof is required.
