As i normally buy a season pass for my father since 2001, i have just received a letter (any one else?) from the brscc saying hat due to only having 1 race meeting this year at rockingham they are not doing passes, however you can get a season pass from rockingham for £99 plus booking fee. Thats twice as much as last year without scsa cars.
And what do we get for the £100 apart from the F3/GT meeting? (Pickups are free due to a team pass.)
According to Rockingham's website, this is the motor racing activity this year.
April
Sat 12 HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship 2008 Qualifying Day
Sun 13 HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship 2008 Race Day
Sun 20 BARC Racing featuring Pickup Trucks
May
Sun 25 Lloyds TSB Insurance British F3 International Series & Avon Tyres British GT Championship
Mon 26 Lloyds TSB Insurance British F3 International Series & Avon Tyres British GT Championship
June
Nothing
July
Sun 13 BRSCC Race Meeting including Pickups
August
Nothing
September
Sun 28 Dunlop Great and British Motorsport Festival
October
Nothing
There's also the Classic Sports Car Club meeting on 7/8 June. If you add up all the advanced ticket prices for the six meetings featured on the http://www.seetickets.com/rockingham web site it gives a total of £113. Not a great saving.
As I bought my BTCC ticket some time ago I shan't be bothering with a season pass. I'll be attending on a meeting by meeting basis, depending on the line-up and the weather.

Rockingham season passes now on general sale. Fans will be able to catch all the action at the Northamptonshire circuit for just £99 for adults, while children 15 & under get in free.
The passes will provide holders access to at least six race events including the second meeting of the HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championships, as well as two stage rallies.
Other events which will showcase at the circuit throughout 2008 are:
February 16 Emerald Stages Rally
April 19/20 BARC Racing featuring Pickups, Sports Saloons & Legends
May 25/26 British F3 & GT Championship
June 7/8 Classic Sports Car Club meeting
July 12/13 BRSCC racing featuring LMA Euro Saloons, MINI Miglias and Pickups
September 27/28 Dunlop Great & British Motorsport Festival
December 13/14 Rockingham Stages Rally
Looks like they need to update their events page. :)
IMHO their current website is a dogs breakfast! I just can't be bothered to try and find my way around it.
Found this on the website though - "One of the UK’s best kept secrets."
Pretty much sums up their current marketing activity. :dozey:
The http://www.seetickets.com/rockingham site makes no mention of stages rally meetings. However, if you do purchase a season ticket on-line via this site you will incur an additional transaction fee of £4.80, bumping the total cost up to £103.80.
BORING.......... YAWN.. Waste of money.
tractor, why u back on that account?
I've been banned!! it won't let me log in as Tractorboy no more. Hows you then Nick??
Hi, poster formerly known as Tractorboy - you're not shown as banned on the other threads, just offline - I'm such a saddo I had to check in case it was to do with your Gordon Ramsay impression on the other thread :cheese:
With regard to the subject of this thread the Season Pass certainly looks like the expensive way to not get your V8 fix to me - crumbs, for that price I could get to one of the other circuits the SCSA's are visiting and have a nice meal on the way home! Would need to be a few more cars to make me go too far for them though.
We'll settle for buying the ticket when we can get to go this year - we'll still support the pick ups when we can even if they're not keeping the SCSAs company.
to think you could get a season pass for £40 once upon a time, have to say that rob compton had some good points expressed in his earlier threads! any way i'm gonna be too busy going to the other circuits this season (gonna be too busy)
I can't see where you are banned. I certainly haven't banned you.Quote:

Hi apparantley i am banned though i can find nothing wromg with banning me. Admitadley i don't appreciate the current situation with the pickup getting a few dates at the oval and we don't but never mind, We'll be back and we'll be back strong regardless of wether we are at that oval track or not. i'd like to see the crowd at the oval this year once they have realised we are not there!!!!!! cause i think they wont bother to turn out after the first dissapointment of seeing great 2 pickup race's and **** rest of formlula.
You know Sonny can do that bring your pick up and you can get in free, and all that perlava, and like it said on U tube the pickups thunder!!!!!!! My farts got more Thunder than they have
The futures bright, the futures vsr v8..............
I meant to put Vsr's v6's the Eurocar are there any left out there they look good to drive, and probally be quite cheap to run. and i aint dissing the pickups they are very very good racing, but they'll have 2 good races and the rest of the racing that will be supporting them probally wont be as exciting. I shall go along and see though!
Says who? ;) I'll be lurking around the V8 scene I'm sure. As for the PUT, will likely be sticking with Rockingham.Quote:
