[Graham]

How do you provide evidence of a negative test?

"HEALTH & SAFETY: Ticket holders will be required to provide proof of vaccination, evidence of a negative Rapid Flow Test taken in the 24 hours prior to event, or evidence of antibodies - PCR Test taken in the previous 180 days prior to event."

Being double vaccinated and showing the wee vaccine card is all you need. @Boydie

Good to see McNamara is still going, fondly remember seeing him and Buff battling around Rosegreen back in 2005.

Good to see McNamara is still going, fondly remember seeing him and Buff battling around Rosegreen back in 2005.

I've probably not seen him since then. He went off to the middle-east from memory for a few years, and has been tinkering away at random projects ever since.

 

[brocks]

Hopefully D-Mac brings his new car with him, absolute weapon of a thing!

 

[davecoupe]

Looking forward to this after the Ulster Rally on Saturday.

There was an episode of Juicebox recently with D-Mac, shows his shed and all the cars he has stored away and is tinkering at.

His Audi will be insane when finished.

 

[vtec1]

Booked tickets for Sunday and got a confirmation email. Got a reminder email there and my tickets are now for Saturday. Do you get both days from the grandstand or have I got lucky

 

[brocks]

His Audi will be insane when finished.

Drift Games have been in his “shed” quite a bit over recent months and you’re right, Audi is gonna be another level build!

 

[dufunk]

So it starts at 5? Hopefully it's well light up.
