Same can be said for Brands Indy . . .an hour from home, easy access, open pit lane and the circuit has a bit of everything. I learned and progressed more in a morning with my car than I ever did in 10 years testing at Goodwood, although Goodwood teaches you how to built/set up a bullet proof engine!

Is that UK Motorsport? IE Richard Culverhouse's club? Just a guess on my part but he did run a meeting at Mallory last year, although I think it was under the auspices of 360MRC.

The 360 MRC connection makes sense as they ran the Classic and Modern meeting at Mallory in June last year ISTR .

Would be nice if that Modern and Classic festival returned next year as its own meeting, would bump us up to possibly 6 mallory meetings. Last years despite being organised a bit last minute had some brilliant racing, especially the mini's last lap pass for the win in the best of British race.

This release from Richard Culverhouse (U.K. Motorsport) received last night.... "Ok, so its been a while since my last Newsletter but I have been working hard in the background trying to piece together a exciting season for you next year. Working on the success of the ‘Classic and Modern’ Motorsport Festival at Mallory Park in June I can announce that it will be repeated in 2018, on Sunday June 10th. In addition to Mallory I am organising a similar event at Snetterton (200) on Saturday September 22nd. A whole range of races with special emphasis on ‘classic’ and ‘modern’ cars, bikes and karts. Ideal for small groups of cars as well. I had hoped to also have a similar event at Cadwell on July 21st but unfortunately I lost the date. However I do have the possibility of having a day at Cadwell on Saturday August 25th (Bank Holiday) In addition, I am trying to get a weekend at Anglesey combined with a similar group. For those of you who have ‘classic’ cars I have also managed to get an exclusive deal with the VSCC to run at their Oulton Park meeting on Saturday May 18th and Donington on June 24th. They have promised me a 20 minute race provided I can get a good grid. So guys, it’s up to you, if you want to race at these two VSCC events then please let me know so I can gauge the interest. And finally I hope to have two races at Donington on Sunday July 15th. Races for both ‘Classic’ and ‘modern’ cars. So the line up is: Saturday May 12th – Oulton Park – Classic only Sunday June 10th – Mallory Park - Classic and Modern Motorsport Festival Sunday June 24th – Donington Park – Classic only Sunday July 15th – Donington Park – Classic and modern races Saturday August 25th – Cadwell Park - Classic and Modern Motorsport Festival Saturday September 22nd – Snetterton - Classic and Modern Motorsport Festival Plus possible weekend at Anglesey. So please, let me know your thoughts on Oulton Park and Donington or anything other ideas you might have." |

By looking at Equipe GTS calendar along with MGCC Cockshoot Cup (who have both released dates), I've come up with the following so far for MGCC 2018-
07 April, Silverstone National 28/29 April, Brands Hatch Indy 02/03 June, Silverstone GP (MG Live!) 14/15 July, Donington (Incl Equipe GTS 3hr relay) 01 Sep, Oulton Park I would also expect them to be at Snetterton at the end of September for the BMH 4hr relay, and the fact that the Morgan Challenge is scheduled there on 29th suggests 29/30th. The MSCC are usually an invited grid.... |

15th July at Donington is meant to be a Morgan Sports Car Club meeting..... According to the MGCC magazine from a couple of days ago, they are waiting for confirmation of the MGLive date before releasing their schedule. |

That’s great, thanks for posting those!
It confirms the 2 day meeting at Snetterton on 29/30 September, which will (I assume) include the BHM Relay on Sunday..... and I’m not away for once! It also appears that the Donington meeting on July 14/15 is in conjunction with the Morgan SCC, the latter running their Challenge races on the Sunday. |

I’ve been going through the meetings to compile a list by circuit. No surprise that Silverstone is in the lead with 12 meetings (for Classic / Historic cars) so far, but nothing for Castle Combe or Anglesey- although UKM are possibly negotiating something at the latter. However, now listed on the Castle Combe website is the Autumn Classic Historic Racing Festival, scheduled for Saturday October 6th, but no indication of which series will be there....

Saturday – Equipe 3 Hour Relay and Paddock Party. Sunday – 30 minute sprint race. July 28th/29th – Zandvoort. 2 x 30 minute sprint races and Friday testing. September 1st – Snetterton 300 circuit. 40 minute pit stop race for 1 or 2 drivers October 6th – Silverstone finals. 40 minute pit stop race for 1 or 2 drivers Glad to see a new series catering for pre-63 GTs. Unfortunately Carol's RAC TT race at Silverstone Classic has been the only other Pre-63 grid for the past couple of years (that I am aware of). |

Mike, the VSCC have Castle Combe listed in their Newsletter dates for 6th Oct so presumably will have a race or two there.

On the subject of Mallory meetings, it would seem that BARC have an additional meeting there on the 5th August. The only content I've seen so far is the new, modern MINI endurance series and, of more historic interest, Classic FF1600.

Thank you Richard and Gary. From memory 750MC meetings don’t all include historic content, so I’ll have to check through the list.....
VSCC at Combe for the October festival would make sense. GTSCC were there this year as well, but with their Algarve race being only 2 weeks later in 2018, I’m not sure if they will repeat...... BTW just checked and HMRN Pre ‘63 series kicked off with a race at Silverstone Classic in 2009. It grew into a series in 2010, and in those days something as lowly as my +4 was competitive! |

So, the yet to be revealed 4th race will be in France as well (in 2018), if I am reading para 3 correctly. Goodwood or Silverstone Classic for 2019? If you try and enter the 356, I'll get JE to try and enter the SLR.... |

I hope some do both events, as without the 911’s there won’t be much filling the midfield in the 60s endurance race.....cobras and e types up front, mgbs, smaller healeys mile behind.....SLR will have plenty of space! Last edited by 356sc; 9 Dec 2017 at 09:09. |

Bless him, James Tucker is still trying but i think he may have missed the boat with this; the C1 Series has taken the market i think, even though the mini is quicker.
