We've been invited back to Brooklands for the Double 12 event, the plan is to send "Challenger" and the c-5000 up Test Hill ;D
More details nearer the time .
-
Sounds good matey will have the new camera equipment by then to keep up with Challenger ;)
-
This event is very close !
If anybody wants to bring their c5 along and put on a static display, similar to the September Vintage cycle event, please let me know sooner than A.S.A.P ! I need to know numbers by Monday.
I shall be taking Challenger and Voodoo along with electricDave and his c-5000 . We are scheduled to take part in the Hill Climb on the Sunday (its a two day event,but we're only going for the Sunday :))
The "Double 12" really is a top event and well worth visiting 8)

Quite an event packed with exotic sports cars , both new and old, plus a visit from Royalty. All good stuff.
This year the c-5000 will be going up Test Hill as well as Challenger so plenty for the crowds to cheer at
-
Tickets have been ordered for those that got in touch :)
We'll be having a small static display plus the two "modified" c5's to send up Test Hill.
On the list is;
myself
Angie

Should be a good day out :)

when not helping my Mates With masking the Concorde Model for painting
Was you in the Museum?
-
Me and my family will be coming allong at some point with the c5, will be paying at the gate due to me forgetting about the date of this event and not putting my name down sooner :(
-
Hi "blackprojects", in answer to your query yes I was at Brooklands on Saturday :)
Keith's c5 needed a little TLC (after an incident with an air compressor :o ) so I sorted that out and then gave John's C5 a once over while I was there as well 8)
As always, going to Brooklands was a real treat and somewhere I really enjoy visiting

..it will be good to see you there mate , and paying at the gate means you're contributing to the upkeep of such a superb venue which is never a bad thing 8)

will I be able to get my C5 on site if we park in the visitors car park?, or is there an exhibitors entrance we could use? or am I just limited to the visitors entrance due to me not getting my name down on the list earlier?
I'm starting to worry that I wont be allowed on site with the c5 because im classified as a 'visitor'
-
peck - no worries mate, I spoke with the organisor today and he confirms even though you are paying at the gate you will still be granted access to the site in order to park your c5 up on our display.
They have asked that we be on site for 9am though.

For all those coming along to Brooklands on Sunday, the c5alive stand will be somewhere near the nose of Concorde (the real one, not the smaller model by the car park !). Should be fairly easy to locate us ;D
Directions to the venue are on the Brooklands website;

...dont forget to use the Campbell Gate entrance, shows as point 2 on the map

I have a customer that brings his car in that makes the robots and battle etc for robots wars, I think his team win lots of the battles/competions etc is that what your other hobby is ?

Do we have to c5 it through the Campbell gate entrance or can we drive our own cars through with the c5s in them?
-
As an exhibitor you'll be permitted to drive onto the site via Campbell Gate to where the c5alive display will be, once unloaded the exhibitors then park their vehicles elsewhere (usually out of the way behind the large aircraft hanger). Be guided by the Brooklands staff on the day.
We're aiming to arrive around 9am, see you there ;D .

As you can see from the earlier picture, we had a fantastic spot for the c5alive display at this years Double 12 event. Situated under the tail section of Concorde, next to the refreshments, not far from the First Aid point and close to the loo's. We were also situated on the return run from the Test Hill, so all the cars that had completed a run up the hill had to come back past us - a sort of continuous parade of classic cars...Superb !
Radiomarty piloted "challenger" up Test Hill , followed by electricDave on the c-5000 . Both completed three runs on the Test Hill much to the delight of the crowds and got a huge amount of applause, followed by a surge of visitors to the c5alive display all wanting to look at the performance c5's 8).Peckishere tried out "challenger" , although not on a Test Hill run, and was also suitably impressed judging by his huge grin :D The c2.5 also attracted a lot of admiring glances...with Luke being a star & providing some guided tours of his impressive set of wheels ;D
Some piccies from the day;

ive just finished editing a small clip of the first hill runs of 'challenger' and 'c5000'. I'm not completely satisfied with it and I would like to have some feedback on how to improve the video :)
Here it is: http://youtu.be/U_kekNZ4eYs

Looks like you had a nice day out , and got to see some very nice cars :)
I like the 2.5, not seen that before ;D
Will try to get there next year :)
Just seen the video. Looks good, and you certainly get an idea of speed watching both of them go up the hill. The c5000 made challenger seem slow :D :D

I was extremely impressed with it's acceleration and speed :D. luckily my dad snapped a photo of me on my way back to the C5 stand with a look of excitement and fear :P

An excellent collection of piccies there mate , and some good footage of the "performance" c5's in action 8)
Nicely captures the excitement of the day ;)
-
Brilliant Pics and video, sorry i missed this, but maybe next year ......
-
Great video and pictures, really see how fast C-5000 is up the hill when you watch is against challenger.

Retro Andy.
The c-5000 can do the hill in about 10seconds ,whereas challenger takes about 20seconds - both are better than some of the cars that took part 8)
...not bad when you consider that the c-5000 was only running on half power :o Although in its 24v setting the c-5000 is proving very reliable, the 48v setting is still a bit tempremental. Electricdave is working on this as he wants to equal the Test Hill record of 7 seconds.....

Hi all I have finally managed to put together a small video of the day - hope you like it :

Well done Matt, nice video, looks like a good day out.

-
Great video Matt, really enjoyed watching it, some fantastic old cars and the sinclair 2.5 is really cool, you can see your brother loves it, looks a fun day, will come along next year if we are invited again.
