Britcar 24 Hr 2010

Burnsie · 12 Nov 2009, 15:04 (Ref:2580811)

It's back!!

There have been rumours mentioned in other threads about the 2010 event, but I think the time is right to start up a dedicated 24hr thread after reading this in today's Autosport magazine:

"Britcar boss James Tucker is to bring the GT and production car enduro back on the first weekend of October, and he plans to boost the event for both competitors and spectators". The official Britcar 24hr website also confirms that the 2010 event will take place from 1st to 3rd October (with testing on 30th September).

Personally I'm delighted, this is at the top of my 'events to-do' list for next year. Having marshalled at the previous running of the event back in 2008, I was disappointed that it was necessary to change the 2009 event to a six-hour race. But next year we return to 24hr endurance racing, and I can't wait! The atmosphere should be buzzing, with 10,000 tickets being given free to spectators.

Roll on October

Thankfully it doesn't clash with the end-of-season BTCC meeting... I might try to do this one aswell

danny_boman330 · 12 Nov 2009, 15:26 (Ref:2580825)

The Fat Clerk · 12 Nov 2009, 15:29 (Ref:2580827)

Historically the BRSCC

Burnsie · 12 Nov 2009, 15:30 (Ref:2580828)

BRSCC.

Miss Pebbles · 12 Nov 2009, 21:24 (Ref:2581045)

wooo only 10 and a half months to go

**Woolley** · 12 Nov 2009, 22:47 (Ref:2581089)

Excellent, and beginning of October shouldn't clash with anything I normally do. Bring on my first 24hr. I hope.

Cynic · 12 Nov 2009, 22:59 (Ref:2581098)

Can't wait. I enjoyed the six-hour, but it just wasn't the same.

pixie2308 · 13 Nov 2009, 11:13 (Ref:2581298)

Top of my to do list for 2010 ... nothing will stop that one! annual leave booked already!

White flag man · 13 Nov 2009, 11:41 (Ref:2581309)

So pleased to hear it is back, and it doesn't clash with Goodwood Revival this time. Looks like I'll be at Silverstone quite a lot next year.

Don't forget the 2cv 24hr

I'll definately be at the Britcar 24hr. The 6 hour was good but everyone said the 24 was better.

blueoval2 · 13 Nov 2009, 12:43 (Ref:2581341)

well I could go for three in one year unless they make it the 2cv 30hr

Shelagh · 13 Nov 2009, 12:57 (Ref:2581351)

Gerryc · 13 Nov 2009, 14:03 (Ref:2581397)

This one definitely goes down on the "to do" list. Bring it on!
