  • Trax 2014: Southern Convoy Route & Meet Points

    Evening all, a bit delayed, but better late than never. These are the meet points and route for the southern convoy. Be at these points, at these times if you'd like to arrive with us as a group into Trax 2014 @ Silverstone.

    The Route:




    The Meet Points:

    A)
    Thurrock Services
    RM16 3BG
    Arrive at 4.30am (We will wait here for 25minutes for other arrivals, and also to grab a snack for breakfast)

    B)
    South Mimms Services
    EN6 3NG
    Arrive at 5:45am (We will wait here for only 5-10minutes for other arrivals. If anything this is just to break the journey up. I'm not sure anyone will actually be joining the convoy from this point)

    C)
    Northampton Services (Northbound)
    NN4 9QS
    Arrive at 7:00am (This is the final meet point, and will be the convergance of the southern:northern convoys. Ticktes and Stand passes will be given out at this point)

    D)
    Silverstone Circuit - Trax
    Arrive at 7.45am

    Anyone more southern than me, I apologise, I have not planned your convoy or meet points, as I will not be at them. I urge you all to meet at the first meet point shown here at the time shown, and we can all convoy up together. My mobile number is 07793 277 nine-one-nine (just to stop the number getting listed in google...) Call or text anytime around the meet point times and I will answer you.

              Although it doesn't show it on Google Maps, you don't have to go up to the next junction then back down the A5. From leaving Northampton Services you can join straight on to the A43. Plenty of dual carriageway on that stretch to Silverstone for rolling photos too.

                    The route is just a guide. Theres always several different dieas on how to leave Northamptn Services when we are all actually there. Personally I dont really know the way and I do not have a sat nav... Go figure...

                            Yeh I saw you mention that before tbh but just thought you were confused haha. You can do that by all means, just means you'll need to find us and drive through a busy show to get to us.. Not great.. It fills up early and pretty quick. From 8.30-9.00 onwards the show is basically started. You want to be in and settled by then.

                            I've just thought, I have to pick my friend up from Sheppey before I go to thurrock, so i'll be further south than normal before meeting at thurrock if you were going along the same way? M2 J4-5 Services for example?
