Sorry to say Paul, but all of the (youngish) British crew from 106 took the decision that it would be too much like hard work. We'll leave it to the elder statesmen to maintain a British presence.

The idea of 24 * 35 minute races (=~ 6 laps) did not appeal for many reasons.

1 - It would detract from the big one in June - the circuit would lose that special once a year pilgrimage feel.
2 - historics in a straight line 6 times with 4 minute gaps between them appearing. Not too enthralling.
3 - Too much hanging around - those gaps of 25 minutes every hour - can't imagine we would have had too much to do.
4 - It's getting cold and dark early, so no beer tasting soirees.
5 - did'nt actually believe it could be organised. What I mean is I expected the event to be rescheduled for the Bugatti circuit with a lesser number of entries.

anyways, enjoy yourselves, it's the MGCC @ Brands for us stay at homes
