Its gone up JEB. £190 now!

JEB · 21 Sep 2006, 13:55 (Ref:1715547)

The WHT still offers great value for money to competitors - entries rolling in for all races - should be another great weekend.

graeme · 21 Sep 2006, 14:08 (Ref:1715560)

Amongst the best races I did last year - put me in the slow group, James! (I may be in a Caterham - but it's a slow Caterham...)

Jamie G · 21 Sep 2006, 14:09 (Ref:1715563)

I could be sorely tempted - anyone else in a tintop? Concerned about being outclassed, but certainly interested.

How long are the races?

andypipe · 21 Sep 2006, 14:15 (Ref:1715566)

i would do, but clashes with the last round of the DTRC at brands

rbs · 21 Sep 2006, 15:08 (Ref:1715593)

The extra income generated by the raised entry fees will allow the BRDC to hire the circuit from.............Themselves.

chezza · 21 Sep 2006, 15:08 (Ref:1715594)

I certainly does and has been tough decision which to go to, but having done WHT for the last 3 years it had to be the DTRC and thr trucks for me this year.

Good Girl, you know its the right thing to do. Besides, youre the only one who can keep us all in order

Suze · 21 Sep 2006, 18:54 (Ref:1715785)

I'm off to the WHT....Vee centre end of season do the night before in Northampton so makes sense to go to WHT the next day.

chezza · 21 Sep 2006, 19:32 (Ref:1715811)

I do try my best!

nyssa7 · 21 Sep 2006, 20:46 (Ref:1715862)

What is it with all these organisers, always have to put meetings up against each other

MSVR are doing an Open Saloon race at Snetterton the same weekend, 2 races and qualifying for £185. Better value but further to go than Silverstone and it always rains at Snett

Decisions, decisions

Al Weyman · 21 Sep 2006, 20:49 (Ref:1715863)

And BARC are putting something on for Historic Touring cars on at Brands!

R59 · 21 Sep 2006, 21:27 (Ref:1715893)

It's called "my race is better than your race"

There are plenty of cars to go around, if people had the inclination to have a play in the "winter season".

At the same time, there's the EERC meeting at Donington. Britcar's night race, and fireworks spectacular - with Britcar/Prod S1 (night race), Britsports, and V8 Supercars. The latter may end up being an "open saloons" if not enough V8's come forward. That's where I'm planning to be.

Sadly you're right - but once again no thought for the guy who's actually doing the racing. Spread the events out and they may get more entries as some would be able to afford more than one. All compete and they will wonder why grids were low - hardly rocket science

Tell me more about Donny - looks like my car would be eligible for Snett, probably Silverstone, but nice to be fully informed on choices before I send off a cheque. The car prefers long straights which both of those have, but its not bad round Donny either

goforit500 · 24 Sep 2006, 09:04 (Ref:1717444)

We're playing out at the WHT !!!!!

The team (So Far...) - Monkey Business Motorsport !!

1 x RWD Escort Cosworth (ME !!!!)
1 x 4x4 Escort Cosworth (Graham Wait)
1 x Sapphire Cosworth (Irvine Anderson)

1 x Radical (Robin Brown)

Donington is currently an EERC affair - Britcar/Prod S1 night race, Britsports, and the V8 Supercar Challenge. If anything changes, I'm sure that notices will be posted quickly.

If it were me, not doing the V8 Challenge, I'd do Silverstone.

nyssa7 · 24 Sep 2006, 17:18 (Ref:1717730)

Silverstone 1 hour, Snetterton 2.5 hours - Hmm! On the other hand we are out at Silverstone on 7 Oct, so maybe Snett might be better from variety point of view

Oh decisions, decisions. Why can't I be a rich b*****d with 2 cars and a helicopter

Mike Holmes · 5 Oct 2006, 07:03 (Ref:1728430)

I will be there!! Got a MK1 Lotus Cortina to have a race in. New car never been raced so don't expect too much!!

JEB · 5 Oct 2006, 09:51 (Ref:1728566)

Interesting comments.
Regarding head-to-head race meetings the BRDC Walter Hayes Trophy has been firmly established on the first weekend of November for some time now. The BRDC also hosted a 'Winter Warmer' on this weekend for numerous years before the WHT evolved.
It is a cracking meeting and great fun for all.
As far as the 8 Clubs Allcomers races are concerned, the more the merrier !

Entry Forms from: James.Beckett@brdc.co.uk

Robin_D · 9 Oct 2006, 08:29 (Ref:1732628)

Indeed, was some really interesting cars in the race last year. And plenty of them too.

Dan Friel · 10 Oct 2006, 07:36 (Ref:1733674)

Am I being a total imbecile (highly likely), but why can't I find a timetable for the event?? All I've found is when the BRDC Clubhouse will be open!

Ian Sowman · 10 Oct 2006, 08:45 (Ref:1733747)

Because the timetable hasn't been published yet, per chance?

Dan Friel · 10 Oct 2006, 11:08 (Ref:1733885)

That makes sense then! Mind you if I was a prospective entrant, I'd want some idea on what day / time my practice session and race is likely to be...

rbs · 10 Oct 2006, 12:28 (Ref:1733991)

The timetable will not be issued until the entry closes as JEB will not know how many FF1600 heats he will need to run.
