At present all of the entries for this race are Caterhams. They won't be troubling the assembly and startline marshals too much at this stage.

Cheers for that, being an optomistic was hoping you were gonna say massive grids!! well i do live in a dream land!!
Normally I like endurance racing, but you do need big grids and multi classes tend to make it far more interesting (well if you blue flagging anyway) Just hope the is an influx of entries, as the touring car weekend was not the most exciting racing i have seen, is an understatement (altho as i was on revett today, i may have missed out the excitment!) |

[QUOTE=GT3]You should have been at the Esses for the Clios and the third BTCC Race...... In the third BTCC race i had to do my normal 'run away' trick, what is it with the BTCC and us hey snetmarshal?
yep know what you mean! LOL think i was safe on revett this year. Those two races did look like there was some excitment, but as the commentry system had failed where we were, we had no idea what was going on! But I am just thankfull survived this years BTCC meeting in one piece LOL |

I see from another thread in National racing, entry is 3 cars!! Please do not make us endure this! 1 race would be bad enough but could cope, but 4 !! Altho if this thread is wrong and a good grid of cars (which I really hope it is) I stand corrected. Can anyone confirm what to expect yet?

I should have said 400% increase to be mathematically correct. Mid-teens now.

Ahh thats ok, cos being a norfolk boy i was struggling with the maths!!! Mid teens hopefully means a race now
As you seem to be the man in the know, do you if there are many venturing over from Holland for the clios? I assume they chose snet due to the hills being on par with Holland |
