2011 360MRC 6 Hour - 30th APRIL!

It gives us great pleasure to announce that the 2011 360 Motor Racing Club 6 hour endurance race will take place on Saturday 30th April 2011 at Snetterton Race Circuit, Norfolk.

We have made this event earlier in the year after listening to our customers and potential customers as to when they believe the best time in the season will be to hold it. We feel that holding this event earlier in the season will help those people who wish to "test the waters" of endurance racing without it affecting an already in progress season run or championship bid.

It wasn't a tough decision with regard to where this event should be held. The inaugural 360 six hour was held at Snetterton and after all the support that we had from the Marshals this year, even after a very disappointing grid size, we feel (and rightly so) that we owe to them a great deal of gratitude in making sure that the first 360 went ahead with the kind of Marshal support that we only dreamed of. As was put to us by one of our team the night after that first event "they stuck by you when you only had eight....you owe it to them to show them it when you have more" We think that is a great way to sum it up really. We could not have done it without the heroes in orange and we want them to enjoy, what we believe is one of the greatest endurance races this side of La Sarthe!

We hope to release the regulations for the event within the next week. We are just tweaking them so that we can bring you a great event, a diverse field and endurance racing.....how it should be

Thanks again
The 360 Motor Racing Club

Claire, a great decision to go back to Snetterton! Obviously most will assume I say that beacause live only an hour away, but it has nothing to do with it- I think your reasons for going back are enough on their own, but add to that the history of the other endurance events that have been (and are still) held there and it has to make sense!

Well done, Saturday April 30th is on the calendar!

So not the MGD Montego again, Max?

Any tenthers without cars should make sure 360 have their contact details as am sure there will be cars with not enough drivers as well!

Would that be a "Class Winning" Montego then?

Don't encourage him . That Montego has already achieved almost mythical status.

And now it is to be discarded- cast aside like a worn out shoe!

I think it is a disgrace- never mind Ringo's birthplace- save the Montego!

Not discarded, sold to a loving owner. There's a difference.

Tell you what, in return for a free entry next April Claire can have it outside Race Control plus some demo laps @ lunchtime.

I'd hate to see it go to museum, hopefully it will go to someone who will race it at next years event.

You will be asked again if Mr Bower keeps on with his comments!

I would gladly put that car outside race control and Im being serious....next to it would be a sign :

Car 200
Engine 75
Tyres 140
Entry 1000
Petrol and odds and sods 500
Competiting in and winning "best in Class" at the inagural 360....PRICELESS

Seriously, you wanna bring it...please do
