I got a garage. I am brining three cars. From what I understand the garages are very large and can easily hold more than three cars. I have been told they can hold as many as 6.

I "may" be looking for someone to share my garage with. This is not a classified ad. It's not about the money. While I am certain we will share in the cost, I am looking for someone or a small team that would be a good fit with us.

Due to work I did not go see the F1 race so I don't know the layout or what I am getting into to.

If you are interested let me know, post here, send me a PM, email or call me.

Thanks!

Mike,

The garages are just over 20ft wide internally (less at entrances) and just over 60ft deep. There are no separators or demarks between garages (F1 installs their own). Each garage has very good lighting and modest power. There is lots of European voltage.

Therefore technically lots of room for 6 cars, however no way to get the middle cars out. Our group is sticking with 4 cars. There was an indication that we would only be able to enter and exit in one direction although there are rollups on both sides of garages (one on paddock side and one on hot pits side). I am not sure if they will be installing a temp separating wall to create cold pit/hot pit on track side of garage for this weekend.

They will be leaving the K rail set up for Grand Am to create a hot/cold pit, but you won't be able to drive out of the garage on that side I've been told.

I hope we can open both doors cause that sure would be convenient to be able to have easy access to the trailer

Aaron, assuming Steve boy has it right (I'm guessing he is right otherwise there will be no cold pits for grid), the only door that will open is on the paddock side. With that said its a moot point for you if the supps are followed (regarding parking restrictions) cause you can't park your trailer outside the garage anyway.... Bring a golf cart.

Paula Taylor told us there would be limited spots close to the garages. Unless she is wrong?

Like I said - if the supps are followed. No idea how they are going to implement them (ie. interpret "essential" support vehicles) or assign any parking. This is as big as Runnoffs with a lot less clarity right now.

I have a feeling we will know the details Tuesday afternoon march 5th haha

My guess is you'll be able to open both doors. You won't be able to drive out of your garage directly into the hot pit.
