I'm gutted weve lost cadwell, as pete said it's the highlight of our season!

only been to snetterton once and yes after the A1 it seemed to take hours to get there and that was with no trailer on the car, the bumper crowds there for the GT/F3 would be nice tho, plus they would see my talent first hand and sign me to a paid drive in GT lol

would love to get donno instead its' easy to get to for a start and it's a great track to drive

also snett would be good for me all the low geared cars on the limiter for half a mile down the stright while I fly by lol

oh and si, yes my big ship will be lighter meaner and stop quicker this season so will be "sailing" past you

not sure on Rockingham but if the Honda boys are struggling with gearing leave it in

pete is at mine now, we are having an emergency nsscc meeting about this.......... whoops sorry, forgot to text you

andy robinson · 5 Jan 2012, 21:27 (Ref:3007879)

no cadwell bugger ! already had it ticked on the wall planner, snetterton is a nightmare to get to & hope I'm wrong but think the turn out would be poor turnout purly due to its location
.

.
.
But the new circuit is really mega love'd it !
only been there once & would give it 9/10
I was one of the ones that thought theyed ruined it but was pleasently suprised
& to support the british GT would be good for the nscc + this would automatically mean your on the full 300 circuit (the only one to be on)
The new infield is quite technical & both the old revvit straight is faster (just cos your entering it much faster) & the start/finish straight is faster becuase the old riches chicane is now a couple of hunderd yard further back

Sounds interesting, I had a go round the old track but wasn't too struck, mind it was snowing! The in-field does look a bit better now and like you say, would be good being with the British GT's.

Still, that journey is awful, would rather do Anglesey if that was offered I think.

What was looking like the calander was published on page 8 of this forum!

Dan_mx5 · 7 Jan 2012, 11:36 (Ref:3008581)

I thought it was the nifty sporting saloon car chaps.

From what Chris is saying above, the mini miglia's will be running a cut slick, so similar to a 888 really, probably better for the wet if anything due to the compound.

Quite correct Dan. But you probably would not believe what 2012 is turning out to be getting dates in the North. Anyway Snetterton is North of somewhere LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ChrisG99 · 7 Jan 2012, 17:24 (Ref:3008603)

How about Goodwood? might get on that meeting! and that is North of the English Channel.

ChrisG99 · 7 Jan 2012, 17:28 (Ref:3008605)

Just sent a email to the MSA to change the name to NECSSCC (North of the English Channel Saloon and Sports car Championship).

Peter Dixon · 7 Jan 2012, 17:52 (Ref:3008612)

I could be up for a bit of international racing, Spa anyone?

Its still the northern hemisphere!

migliacars · 7 Jan 2012, 17:59 (Ref:3008615)

well im sure nsscc organisers have done everything they can but its still disapointing, and im sure we all feel the same.
we have been with the nsscc for 9 years now,every year we have been there.

Now there is a circuit and I think there might be space on an event that would fit with the other dates we already have. Has everyone got the EU flag on their competition licence would not like anyone to miss out. So should the name be changed to "Northern Hemisphere Saloon and Sports Car Championship???????? NHSSCC.

Dan_mx5 · 7 Jan 2012, 18:20 (Ref:3008623)

hmm spa would be good. not sure about the licence though. not looked! thought there was talk of a Silverstone meeting this year?? cant we just do another knockhill or croft? we already run an mx5 in a national championship, that's why we do the "northern" saloons as it is local.

Unfortunately there is no other Croft meetings and Knockhill moved the only other one that would have fitted with what we have. We have looked at Donington, Oulton, Anglesey and checked Cadwell dates with nothing that would fit.
The other alternative is to make it a 12 round Championship this year (10 rounds count. That nearly means that do only Croft and possibly win the Championship name change again CSSCC get rid of one "S" and then go tin top racing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan_mx5 · 7 Jan 2012, 18:51 (Ref:3008636)

i do understand that everything has been done that can be done and the organisers always do a great job. suppose what will be will be and we all have to like it or lump it. sure whatever happens it will be a great season and i cant wait for it to get started..

anyone up for some testing at teeside on Thursday? think we are heading down with both cars all being well. will have to ring and confirm booking on Monday.

roadboy · 7 Jan 2012, 19:18 (Ref:3008649)

Might be up for a bit of testing Dan. What's the costs?

Could do with a proper shakedown. Took the car for a blat last night. It felt proper quick so looking forward to getting it on track. Gotta love having a road legal race car.

Dan_mx5 · 7 Jan 2012, 19:48 (Ref:3008664)

don't quote me on this but sure they said £140 for up to 4 cars... if that is the case we can just split the costs. Alan will just be running his new engine in so plenty of laps for him. glad yours is going well. looking forward to some battles this year. been considering sticking the trade plates in our car but not sure it would go down well with the law!

roadboy · 7 Jan 2012, 21:02 (Ref:3008701)

If that's the case then I'm definitely up for that. Not paying £140 though. Not for Teesside!!!

Dan

Peter Dixon · 7 Jan 2012, 21:56 (Ref:3008727)

Think you can get a morning there for £40, used it a few times to test bits and bobs, nice and cheap.

done this a fair few times with the integra running in new parts and scrubbing in new tyres, you do get some funny looks off joe public mind

Dan_mx5 · 7 Jan 2012, 23:53 (Ref:3008758)

apparently they dont do the half day tests any more. shame as they were pretty good value. i will give them a call Monday Dan and see what the crack is. i wouldn't like to pay that either but if we can share the cost it should be good value. dont really want to travel for a track day with a 1 totally untested car and another that needs running in.
