What happens with my Registration Form?
Your registration form will have your windscreen number recorded on it. Once the record is completed film footage is used to put the forms in to the order of the cars crossing the line. This information (forms and copy of film) is combined and sent to Guinness with our claim for the record.

We will make a controlled lap of the airfield travelling clockwise around the perimeter and along the Main runway and through the checkpoint that will be marked with flags, where cars will be counted and recorded crossing the lines

As part of the record the parade must travel at least 2 miles from the starting point to the finish and all vehicles must cross the start line and drive the length of the route to the finish line.
We will make lap of the route to make sure that we have a chance to practice and then another to stage the record, on completion of the lap the parade will be bought to a stop and all cars ineligible for the Convertible attempt will be filtered off the circuit and onto the large Pan area beside the Rally hub, your assistance is requested here to clear the track in good time.
The parade will move off again for a fresh record attempt and another lap fo the circuit will be performed for the convertible record at the end of this lap all vehicles will leave the track following the second record.
