Britcar-this weekend - Page 3

From where I was watching it was so blatant-seems to me that if you go general testing be prepared for the very worst...I know of another driver who had his car virtually written off a few weeks ago at Snetterton after a huge shove from behind on Revett Straight of all places! It may be better to join a track hire club and do it that way?

**Snapper Baz** · 28 Apr 2003, 09:20 (Ref:582618)

BRITCAR...the next round at Silverstone looks to have been cancelled due to the bridge work over the circuit...looks as though it MAY now be at Donington on May 25th.

I've just looked on the EERC web site and it states that the race will be run on 24th May (Saturday), 100mins duration. Sounds like a good option to me so hope to be there havimg missed out at Brands last week.

see you there then Maxx and hopefully you will be feeling better (if not already)

I would be very suprised if the 24 hr takes palce, Silverstone gets enough jip for putting on the BTCC night race let alone a 24hr event. I also think that it would be like watching paint dry.

jase · 29 Apr 2003, 12:06 (Ref:583689)

Ever been to a 24 hours race? Yes it does get boring watching cars going around for 24 hrs, but if you put in a fun fair and other attractions it keeps people amused when they don't want to watch cars.

I reckon that the Britcar and British GT's will merge for this race, get the entrants in to boost the numbers. The biggest problem will be getting enough officials to run the event, you SHOULD have at least 3 shifts each working about 8 hours each.

Les thats the reason for us wanting the Silv GP...
Donington 24th may...115k two people on the gun..no paperwork and in the regs?????

james tucker · 8 May 2003, 15:53 (Ref:593642)

James

A good way of identifying classes would be by insisting all German cars tow a caravan, - especially white ones. Just an idea………………………………….

Les · 8 May 2003, 19:46 (Ref:593912)

very funny.

Nice to see James taking note from us fans. I can't wait to actually see the boys out again - Donington next isn't it.

jase · 10 May 2003, 16:12 (Ref:595447)

But make sure you don't meet the marshals at Redgate!

martinparsons · 10 May 2003, 16:48 (Ref:595477)

jase · 10 May 2003, 17:00 (Ref:595482)

Martin, would we have a go at you????

Your such an easy target, expecially when saty in a gravel trap!

ss_collins · 10 May 2003, 18:15 (Ref:595545)

top cats racing?

martinparsons · 10 May 2003, 19:06 (Ref:595592)

Will i always be a victim just because i decide to build sandcastles in gravel trap at Druids !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a job creation scheme..............the marshals looked bored

**Snapper Baz** · 13 May 2003, 08:43 (Ref:597676)

Is there a timetable for Donington as yet?-changed my day off work from the Sunday for the Saturday to do the Britcar round (Photo's that is).

james tucker · 13 May 2003, 16:31 (Ref:598077)

Les, we are out at Donington on the 24th...
only 24 cars at the moment...Rouse to romp...
but Pembrey JCC meeting is full 7/8 june with 30cars..

james tucker · 14 May 2003, 16:51 (Ref:598937)

passed medical today!!!!!
the days have gone when you ring the doc and say can you do me a medical and he answers 'have you got a phone upstairs?'
and when you answer it he says...you have passed...
just leave a bottle with the milk....its now £36.00 and lots of questions like do you wear glasses...yes only to see my hands...do you wear them to drive?....no....
answer... 'let the force be with you'

MaxxUK · 14 May 2003, 17:03 (Ref:598941)

Well I hope to be there on 24th, just waiting on word from the team that are going. I'm looking forward to stretching my legs on a longish track after the last few rounds - what track config are we using James?

Also, glad you have the force on your side, we are going to need it though the night at Snetterton in those 2CVs

Maxx

Les · 14 May 2003, 18:16 (Ref:598987)
