I am sure people are sick of the drum banging about this event? It seems we have about 35 ALPINA so if this is correct not a bad contribution to the event.

MSV who own Donington are pitifully slow at informing the BMWCCGB about a host of things, so I cannot tell you anything more than is in the public domain.

I am not promoting it any further, tickets can be obtained at least up until end of July and perhaps after, check the link on the BMWCCGB website and click on Sommefest and follow the prompts.

The vehicle display parking is "in field" on grass. However and I quote " but serviced by a network of hard surfaces.

No passes or tickets have been release yet to the best of my knowledge. I guess it should be fairly soon as the even is not too far away. I will inspect the area on the Friday and raise any concerns I have with this organisers.

To clarify, I told the BMW Car Club that I would help with the ALPINA section only. They tried to offer me a "free ticket" which I declined. Yesterday I received an email telling me to report at 0700 hrs on Sunday for a marshals briefing and that marshals may not be allocated to their specific area.

I have written back to them declining their offer to be a car park attendant and I have paid in full for my ticket prior to their email.

Therefore I shall be there, when I find out where the ALPINA section is after being directed by one of their early bird marshals no doubt.

Download ticket received. When printing off makes no different if you print "all" or the PDF ticket. It is a pass and ticket combination. Looks like it is essential to print off as display pass is attached and needs to be placed in window.

you should have for example a display pass that says "AL" in large letter with Club ALPINA (any) and your vehicle reg.

Ticket give no entry time whatsoever> I am lead to believe its from 0730 am to 1000 am , please check the MSV website or ask the BMWCCGB office.

If you do not have the "AL" display pass, you have either registered to display in another section or just purchased the general admission ticket.

if you having problems on the day you can call me 07831 142 401 and I will try my best to assist.

Hi all,

My cousin is getting Married on the Monday after Sommerfest, so i booked the ticket, Probably to make up numbers, she has decided to invite us to a function on the Saturday, so now i cannot attend the event as its miles away from Donnington, and i live 5 minutes from Donnington.

Really bummed out about this.

If anyone wants my pass, please drop me a PM and i can forward the display pass to you via email. I have an AL display pass.

Not sure how the number plate thing will work, but i doubt they will see it on the day.

if anyone takes up the ticket and wants me to see if I can change the reg let me know, its probably best just to keep it in the same name and use the old "my other alpina got damaged, would not start etc".

some more information

entry time 0730 until 1000 hrs, after which there is no guarantee you will get to display.

If you have booked and have not received at ticket with a vehicle display pass this can be rectified before the event and please contact the BMW Car club who can assist in resolving this. It cannot be rectified on the day.

If you are bringing a vehicle on a trailer contact me before the event as special arrangements are in place for this.

Want to leave early? Any vehicle can leave early, however they need to be accompanied by a banksman and vehicle with warning lights, so approach at BMW Car club staff member, exit is via the Esses Tunnel. This is between 1030 and 1630.

I understand that even if you have not booked you can park inside the circuit at the BMW guest parking, I believe you can do this an pay on the day.

However, you cannot display with ALPINA section this option has expired.

see bmwccgb website for more details.
