Helmet? License? Details Confirmed?

Postby shedtastic » Thu May 29, 2008 9:44 am

Can anyone just confirm a couple of details please?

Do I need to bring a helmet - or are there 'loaners' that can be used on the day? (I seem to remember reading somewhere in the magazine that there were loaners available - but now can't find which back issue I read that in..)

Also I just wanted to check that no license is needed, other than something that can just be filled in on the day..

Finally - Anyone heard back from Ed Hall since his email on 19/5/08? I have sent off my cheque and replied to his email but thought there might have been more info back since then.. (Am a little worried that the photos I attached were too big and the email didn't get through..)

Cheers,

Neil.

They do have loaner helmets, but can also get a cheapo one off flea bay if needed.
You will need your driving license to run at York, pref the paper version. not sure if they will accept the card one.
I've only just got my application email off Ed so no need to start worrying yet!

As Orry says. Loan hats are available but grotty! I used my card license with no bother. My chum had no license but still got a race number. He had to sign a bit of paper or something.

You can get new 'Nitro' lids for about £35. And there're pretty good too!

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
