WORLD SERIES BY RENAULT SILVERSTONE 20th & 21st AUGUST 2011

As the RTOC events are all early this year the World Series Renault event at Silverstone would be a great event for the club to support & give us a chance to meet up in August?

What is it?

For those of you who don't know about it, the World Series Renault, click HERE.

To sum it up It's basically a Free Day Renault put on at Racetracks throughout Europe and the UK's turn is on the 20th & 21st August at Silverstone & is a great day for you to bring the whole family too and experience Motorsport!

There is plenty to see and do if watching cars racing round isn't your thing, there are stunt displays, new Renault models on display, A small fairground (usually the old Waltzers & Dogems), A few kids bouncy castles & obstacle courses etc!

This would certainly be THE event to bring your family along to in 2011!

How can I be part of it??

Well as you are the Owner of a Classic Renault you have the opportunity to take part in the day with your pride & Joy!! :niceone:

There is a special collectors area right in the centre of the Silverstone Circuit and every year the organisers allow 300 collectors cars in to show off all the older models of Renault to the visiting public & it's a great opportunity to speak to people who used to own a car like yours & share their memories!

To exhibit your car at the event you have to download a copy of the registration form and send it off with a payment of £10 per vehicle.

The collectors registration forms have just been released HERE and as mentioned the space is limited to 300 so plese make sure you get your name down sharpish so you don't miss out!!

By entering with your car to the collectors area you are automatically entered into the Concours Competition where your car will be judged in a number of categories:

1. Best Pre 1979 Renault Car - (excluding sports and modified models)

2. Best Pre 1979 Renault Sports Car - (all Sports & Alpine models)
3. Best Post 1979 Renault Sports Car - (all Sports & Alpine models)
4. Best Modern Renault Sports Car - (all Renaultsport models)
5. Best Modified Renault Car - (all years & models)
6. Best Renault Powered Car - (all years & models)
7. Best Competition Car - (all years & models)

8. Best Renault in Show - (all vehicles at the meeting)

The RTOC has been lucky enough to have two members win both their class prizes over the last few years AND win the Best Car in Show.

In 2009 It was me with my Raider:

And in 2010 Darren Williams BigWilly425 won Best in show with his Clio Williams

If you're lucky enough to win the Best Car in Show, your car is then automatically entered into the Meguiars Club Showcase Competition & you & your car are then asked to present at the NEC Classic Car Show in November where you are competing against all the other car club winners throughout the country (such as Ford, Ferrari, Mini VW etc) which teaches you a few things about how clean a car can actually be! :laugh:

But the event isn't all about cleaning your car! KrissyM was invited to take his Cup Car round Silverstone last year for a demonstration lap of classic Renault Racing Cars:

Can I make a weekend out of it??

For SURE!! And this is the best bit!!! In addition to the Event during the day on the Saturday and Sunday. Renault put a Gala Evening on at Whittlebury Park Golf & Country Club on the Saturday Night! :yeah:

The event is hosted by Renault UK and usually is attended by a famous star from Renault's present or past (Jean Ragnotti is usually there). The cost of this
evening is Adult £37.50 each / Child (14-16) £22.50 each and it is limited to 100 places only on a first come first served basis!!!

You will see we've had a few photo's with the great man himself at previous events:

Here is is pictured with the "very respectable Jaffa" :laugh:, Robbo & EmmaB

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...P1010293-1.jpg

Best of all it's usually a FREE BAR!! :beer: :drunk:
You can read more about the day in the Thread from last years.

There are camping pitches avaliable at Whittlebury also so if you wish to stay over you have the option! ;)

I hope to see more of you at this years event!!!

Lord Winnity Win of Winnington Road! :niceone:

It doesn't work like that at the World series as it's a Renault thing but they do put all the different models in one spot so all the 5's will be together.

Whats the crack with this? Is there somewhere we can all stay? Thinking I might come down on the Saturday with the red one but not attend the gala.

I sooo want to get to this but need the 5 running

Best pull my finger out

I'm tempted to try and make it to this. But can only do the Saturday.

Are they still taking applicants for entrant tickets as well as getting me car into the collectors area ?

They normally accept applications to infield parking up to a week beforehand if there are spaces available and you get four (iirc) entrance tixs with that.

The parking area for WSR 2011 has been revised again & this time it looks like we'll have a nice view of the track without travelling too far from the cars!!!

my first year with a gt turbo.............gutted is a understament :cry:

^Well actually in past years most of the numbers seem to have been made up of more modern RSport, I think there may be a better mix this year though it would always be good to see more of the classics.

Can you get tickets on the day? As my bro has now decided he wants to take his mrs. Plus side is that im now going in the gtt

I dont think you can Andy ...

No. Your best bet is to sign up over on Renaultsport as there are often peeps giving away spare/unwanted tixs.

Right thanks for that lads ill let my bro know now. Can they still be had off the world series site?

sorted thanks to a fellow rtoc member :)

im now attending this in my gt turbo so i was wondering if i could get onto the rtoc stand ??

also big steve mentioned maybe being able get into the gala still on sat night id love to do this now, quick question to you steve are you camping or staying at a hotel ?

The only chance of getting infield/display parking now would be to try to get in touch with Stephen Dell over on the RenaultAlpine site.

Edit. Just checked on RSport and it looks like that list is definitive "If you are not on this list, you will not get a pass"

oh well nevermind :(

is there any chance of getting gala tickets

so then guys whos parking in the collectors area ? i now have my pass for it so ill see you there

Ill be in the collectors area , making all your cars look FG
So will my mate Dean.

I will be in collectors area but in a Clio r27 but will be around the fives both days :):

That sounds like a nice plan Andy! :niceone:

Doin both days now. So no excuses not to come and say hello to the bloke in the poorly painted five.

No pointing and laughing tho alright ?

i love it when a plan comes together:smokin:

I just had a random neighbour who I haven't met knock on the door offering me two tickets for this weekend because he saw the GTT's on the drive. Something had come up and he couldn't go.

It would seem there are some nice people left in the world :)

Well I spent most of the day sorting the 5 so should be there tomorrow not sure about Sunday. Andy you can park next to me if you want ;)

You will find me near the oil slick , and car under the bin liners.

:wasntme:

blunty what have you got to do on yours thought it was all sorted. or was it like mine tonight clean polish hoover clean glass change rear seat ect. then it started to rain :laugh:

i havent even started on mine mate, last time i gave it a good valet was a few weeks back, so its a near enough full day job. im hoping the weather holds off tomorrow

hope the weather is good to and ill see you on sunday.

that you will roy cant wait fella :)

Millie & I had a brilliant day yesterday thanks to the weather being mostly good! :niceone:

As always the Gala Dinner was a great night!! :beer:

We took a few pictures of the day:

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...P1030389-1.jpg

The Collectors area was not slap bang in the centre of the action this year. It was decided to position it a little bit away from the masses due to the complaint people were having about the hoards mauling the cars. The area had hard standing which was nice but felt a little removed from the goings on? I'd be pleased to hear other people's thoughts?? :)

The most obvious choice right from the start of the day for best in show was this simply stunning Black 5 Turbo (Not sure if it was a 2 or what?) with a maxi bodykit. Of course it did win the prize & the owner was chuffed to bits!

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...P1030402-1.jpg

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...P1030407-1.jpg

As any of you will know Kris M sure loves a good point when it comes to having his picture taken:

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...P1030398-1.jpg

So that ended up being the theme of the night for the Gala Dinner:

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...P1030415-1.jpg

As usual the Renault Driving GOD that is Jean Ragnotti was there & we had to laugh as he's starting to recognise us now & always says hi when he see's us!! :D So we had to continue the tradition of an RTOC Photo with him! ;)

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...P1030425-1.jpg

He started to figure out what Nick Kettle's game was when it came to having the second picture taken! :crush: :laugh::laugh:

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/P1030426.jpg

Finally we had to continue the new tradition of Robbo's Picture with Millie after last year's Gala.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...P1030430-1.jpg

He said that his preference was the Blue Dress from 2009 though so the gauntlet is laid down for 2012! :laugh: :laugh: :wasntme:

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/P1010290.jpg

:cool:Yeh just got back had some day tickets, that black turbo 2? was very nice..

Also saw a red cup car on the way home, I was passenger in a brown/ black Peugeot 308 convertible. Sounded mint !:) Put my thumb up as u over took..

The Black 5 Turbo was a beauty though I had the misfortune(?) to be parked next to it, I may as well have not been there :) I thought the standard of all the cars was much higher than previous and the fact that we were parked a little out of the way seemed to keep away many but not all of the "less interested" ;)

Cracking weekend, top pics Steve :)....Wrighty, yeah that was me in the cup car on the way home :)

Great to put a few faces to usernames.

I didn't stay long and the owners were not around for chats when was there on Saturday.

Mine, I was around a fair bit. If you see any pics of the black Turbo I'm probably the grumpy looking guy in the background ;)

And thanks :)

Was a really good weekend :) Nice picture sequence Steve!!! Agreed, the area was much better than last year for the cars. Sunday was soooooo much busier than Saturday :eek:

The gala was great fun, as was the camping with Jesus, Krissy M & Matt. :agree:
