Hi Ferg,
That's right. In previous years, the supercars have proved a great attraction, but it's a double edged sword - the amount of time and hassle on the day organising 3-5 specific cars as pax carriers has been huge (not to mention making sure people give them a wide berth so the passengers get their money's worth) compared to the actual amount they raise. To counter that this year, we've asked for a donation per passenger for all paxes - looking at it, this will actually make more money for the charity.
There is nothing, of course, to stop you organising some pax runs with some of the quick boys beforehand, but we've had to take a decision to not organise it ourselves this year - it was a major time and organisational issue last year (not to mention hard on the supercars and drivers in question)
Needless to say, Andy will be there, Gambler has also said he'll be there with 600bhp this year and happy to take out paxes - worth contacting guys directly if you want to be sure, but there will be time in the pits to approach folk. I'm awaiting notification from a few other guys to see what else will be showing up - of course, there will still be the usual suspects to slot your friends in for a thrill ride!
