Neil VR6 0 Posted February 8, 2007 I'll be a marshall there this year for both the weekends and probably in Amsterdam too. Should be wicked- get to see some awesome cars up close and personal and get free gear too. I marshalled at the movie premier a month or two back as well at the KoKo club in Camden- had a very nice long chat with the Koenigsegg test driver.

Neil VR6 0 Posted April 23, 2007 They've put me in charge of ticketing in the car park so I've got to make sure all the cars are parked up and then out on the grid on Sunday before the start! Should be one to tell the kids about. Confirmed drivers include the usual JK amd Jodie Kid plus some other A-list celebs. I think it's a secret though so I'd better not blab it all over the internet! Police are expecting 500,000 to 1,000,000 people coming to see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Police are expecting 500,000 to 1,000,000 people coming to see it. damn thats a lot of people!!! any tips on the best place to go?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Not really TBH. I'm gonna be stuck in the car park all Saturday although I'm on "crowd management" on the Sunday from midday. All the cars will roll down onto the grid at about midday on Sunday. I'm not sure what I should say but I think there will be celebs sprinkled amongst the grid so there won't be any benefit to being in any given place. There's a big static display at Waterloo St though where non-Gumball cars will be displayed with trade stands from the sponsors and a huge screen. It should be a good day. I get free shoes and stuff too :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
