CTCRC's Lydden Hill 25 July now with TV coverage

Al Weyman · 28 May 2009, 07:40 (Ref:2470726)

This Classic Touring Car Racing Club run event is now shaping up very nicely. It has just been announced the club has secured TV coverage for the meeting to be broadcast on Sky TV Men and Motors, Motors TV and terrestrial Channel 5 so what better way to get your car onto TV and reach an audience of thousands (now I really must build an engine that will hold together!)

Apart from all the usual CTCRC championship races, there will be a race specifically for the Ford Boss boys and an extra two none championship open Saloon and Sports Car races open to none members and a wide variety of cars (two races for just £220) so a good chance to get your face on TV. Places will be limited so early entry is advised to avoid disappointment, all details here: http://www.classictouringcars.com/pa...ydden_2009.asp

Excellent Al! Be nice to meet you!

Eddy V · 28 May 2009, 20:10 (Ref:2471146)

I'll try to be there as well, but have to weigh things up: either CTCRC at Lydden or the 24 hours at Spa.

Tough choice methinks.

nik · 28 May 2009, 20:14 (Ref:2471147)

No contest, has to be Lydden!

Well at least if you dont make it Eddy you should be able to catch it on TV.

Andrew Busby · 28 May 2009, 20:54 (Ref:2471185)

That sounds great Al; definitely on for Lydden

Al Weyman · 29 May 2009, 11:07 (Ref:2471507)

Get yer entry in quick and save a fiver and if you dont want it donate it to the marshals fund.

womble148 · 29 May 2009, 17:14 (Ref:2471729)

Looks good just read all the info on CTCRC web site so i will definately be putting an entry in.Hope i get to see myself on telly aswell

Al Weyman · 29 May 2009, 19:00 (Ref:2471786)

Look forward to seeing you there.

womble148 · 1 Jun 2009, 17:27 (Ref:2473531)

Anybody else out there going or is it to early yet?

Al Weyman · 1 Jun 2009, 18:57 (Ref:2473568)

I spoke with Pete Edwards today who is organising it and the entries are coming in nice and steady and we are confident this is going to be a good meeting. Pleasantly surprised how many people are donating the fiver saved for early entry to the marshal's pot as well. BTW the deadline for the discount is entries received by 3rd June so be quick. BTW I believe the club will be putting on a Barby Friday night for all entrants and their guests but I will need to confirm that.

nik · 3 Jun 2009, 10:50 (Ref:2474595)

my entry form was sent of the other day

Al Weyman · 3 Jun 2009, 12:07 (Ref:2474648)

Mine too plus I thought I had better donate me discount to the marshals as chances are i will need their help again! :-( Incidently the club will need marshals at this meeting if any are reading this and you know you always get yer doughnuts and any help would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Al Weyman · 9 Jun 2009, 07:01 (Ref:2478156)

Well done Womble, what are you out in?

Mike Sheraton · 9 Jun 2009, 09:40 (Ref:2478226)

will the television coverage be happening next year?
as me and my dad would love to get our car on T.V next year when we race.
thanks in advance.

Al Weyman · 9 Jun 2009, 10:30 (Ref:2478268)

Dunno if the club are even doing a meeting there next year, its too far ahead lets get this season out the way first. I guess it will depend on the success of this one although I must say its looking good at the moment. The TV deal has been negotiated by the club (Classic Touring Car Racing Club) who are organising the meeting, this has nothing to do with the track owners or BARC etc. Come on down anyhow as a prospective member I am sure you and dad will be made most welcome.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of people packing some meat. I think that's what they call a good weekend with like minded friends.

Very entertaining.

Full price TV coverage is very expensive, very very expensive. Lydden as a circuit is naturally more readily covered with cameras than say Oulton, but even so it'll be a fair whack..

TTRS have had a couple of meetings filmed this year for Motors/Men and Motors whoever it is, but sponsors settled the account for them subsidised with a whip round.

It's nice in some ways (vanity), but ultimately only you, your friends, and your Mum will be watching..

That's excellent Al; big up for the CTCRC to negotiate this - presumably through their series sponsors (?) and therefore without having to resort to asking the drivers to put their hands in their pockets.

If you don't mind another bleedin' BMW out there my entry is going in tonight

Al Weyman · 10 Jun 2009, 16:45 (Ref:2479336)

No charge to the drivers Andy, see you down there.

Really, and how do you know this for a fact? I often watch a bit of racing on TV and I know none of the drivers involved and would watch more if they would show it as it beats football any day. I thought the Historic GT racing series made excellent viewing, I even have the CD at home.
