I've been advised by a potential competitor that the 6hr Relay race has been cancelled. Shame, but guess lack of entries?

Probably. I heard that instead, they'll have two 'Team Races' - one classed as 'slow' and one classed as 'fast' - with all Team members on track at the same time, 3 cars per Team. Something like that.
I've seen their relay races twice I think - once at Oulton and once at Silverstone (or was it Donington?). Both times they were quite entertaining (especially in the pit lane) but IIRC they were the last event of the day when many people had gone home including a number of potential competitors. I did wonder if they'd have been better doing them as the main event sort of thing. But maybe logistical reasons why not.

Seems meeting is history with about 28 total entries.
If this is correct probably because of alternative meetings this month

Wow, what with the perceived anti climax that was Brands recently, not sounding very good!
Personally I would ditch the ‘Formula Vintage’ branding, but that’s just my opinion.......

So VSCC cannot get their act together at Snetterton but Bengerfields manage 40 Pre War cars,90 % Bentley’s to thrash round Norfolk including races across a stubble field.
Amazing!

It's not just a VSCC issue though, John. Most historics struggle to get sufficient entries at Snetterton. A number of clubs have pretty much given up trying to go there or put grids together, even setting aside clashes of events. A lot won't go because it is allegedly, as Gary says, the back of beyond, but it really isn't. Relatively easy to get to, compared with some circuits, from both the Midlands and the South East.

Five years ago VSCC had lots of spectators and not a bad turnout in the races.
Problem is September with Spa, Goodwood etc and AMOC at Snet two weeks ago it was always going to be a tough call.
Try early June and double length of most of their races and they may have a chance
It’s nonsense to say it’s back of beyond
Hour and Half from London, Two and a bit from Birmingham
So much easier with new road through Elvedon.
