Very civilised timetable: sign on 10.10-10.25, scrutineering 10.25-11.25, qualifying 11.40-12.05, race 14.40...
Does anyone know anymore about the pit stop? Walk/Run around the car, driver change , is anyone allowed to assist with belts etc? Will there be a mandatory lap that we all have to pit? Obviously refuelling is not permitted, but say if there is panel damage to your car (entirely possible at Mallory) is anyone other than the driver allowed to work on the car?
The text seems to be missing from the BARC regs.They used to say
3.13.2.3 Observing all usual pilane safety regulations, the car must stop before seatbelt are removed. Failure to
comply may lead to the imposition of a Stop / Go Penalty by the Clerk of the Course.
3.13.2.4 The driver must exit the car via the drivers door. The engine may be left running except during events
where re-fuelling takes place in which case the cars ignition must be 'dead'.
3.13.2.5 The driver must exit the car close the door and may then re-enter the car via the drivers door
fully replacing seat belts before moving off.
Custom and practice indicates you can have anyone fondling the belts back on for you. Your car can be repaired

That's because you don't do two -driver races any more. I would say, check the Supplementary Regs or Final Instructions, but I cant see any thing about it in them.
Be prepared for a mandatory briefing or bulletin being issued.....
Nothing in the final instructions that turned up yesterday, although I am sure one of the Clerk's of the Course (you know who you are ;D) will put us all right on the day.
Won't be me Simon, I'm not allowed near your races......
Thats a shame Trevor, come and say hello though if you get a chance.
Owing to illness of a guest, I have a couple of tickets FOC for Mallory. Drop me a note or text me on 07973 303982. Martin
Should have said, I've got four available plus a vehicle paddock pass. I'm leaving for Mallory after lunch (about 2.00 p.m) so will check before then to see who might want 'em. FOC of course & first come first served...
