Possible, but do we have members willing to do it?

I'll do it! I might even chip in a pound or two.

I'd be happy to host this race in my back garden if they need an alternative venue <whistle>

Took a look. £30 individual membership. £90 to enter this race, plus IIRC £16.50 insurance, plus transponder. Plus cost of vehicle and associated kit..... Max three people per team...

Depends, anyone able to get hold of something conforming to the regs?
The STIG - July 27, 2007 11:07 PM (GMT)
okay, only 3 people - or only 3 drivers?
Because I don't mind going as pit crew if someone else wants to drive. and I'll pitch in as well.
Norbert - July 27, 2007 11:15 PM (GMT)
Erm, I think three drivers.... why not take a look at the regs...?
;)

I shall, tomorrow.
Now lets not get ahead of ourselves

My grandfather lives within spitting distance of the Cricketers Arms where this fine sport was apparently first formed. Still never attended the 12hr race but I'd love to. Have any of you chaps been?

saw this on our news today and wondered if any pit laners were there <think>

I pondered going as it's literally 5/10 mins down the road from me, but it was raining by the time I got home, and the race had already started....

~This year's race was red flagged after 5 hours due to excessive mud, and result called there and then. Thus it was the 5 hour lawn mower race.

I spent 12 hours cutting my large, wet, and muddy property. The 12 hours of Maurepas! I won the open wheeled division.
