[- One is brand new, very well made but probably made in China. White, never used. Ideal for track days, quad bikes, etc.]

Hi:

I have two helmets, neither for any level of MSUK racing:

- One is brand new, very well made but probably made in China. White, never used. Ideal for track days, quad bikes, etc.

- The other is my old racing helmet, treated well but now out-of-date. Also good for track days & quad bikes.


Interested? Drop me a message or call.

Thx.

[Fuelling Caps]

Hi, all:

Fuelling Caps

A tip for when racing is finshed for the season. Simply release the locking lever. This takes the pressure off the various seals. Better still,take the cap off and put it somewhere clean. Replace with a temporary old cap.

Looking forward, I hold the Club's stock of fuel caps. Depending on which box I look in, I think we have around 10 in total. The Club charges about £35 just now. It is a lot of hassle to order and bring them in from USA. So assume that new stock will be much more expensive.

Hi, all:

I could not find mention of the TV coverage 24 Hour on the BARC Website.

I'm telling people that they can watch the 24 Hour on BARC - You Tube. BUT - as of today, they don't appear to include the 24 Hour in the previews.

Very disappointing if the cost of coverage is included in the entry fee.

Hi, all:

2CV 24 Hour race will be covered by 247.tv.

I contacted Dan at 247.tv, to ask whether they are covering it. His reply was: "Yeah currently the plan is to have it on the BARC YouTube"

[Racing at Lydden Hill]

Hi, all:

Racing at Lydden Hill

It seems that we are racing on the Saturday and Sunday, in two separate meetings !!!

Saturday: LHMC Meeting, including 2CV racing

Sunday: Historics on the Hill 2025. 2CV Racing and Classic Car Show

See you there.

Hi, all:

I have not been able to find BARC 'finals' for Lydden Hill anywhere.

The Lydden Hill website is selling tickets only for Sunday, so is it a one-day event, all on the Sunday. Presumably arrival on the Saturday.

Does anyone know anything different?

Thx, MH

Hi, Martin R:

I believe that the only decal currently acquired on race cars is the ECAS sticker on the bonnet nose, above the grille. We might have some at Lydden.The rule allows that if a sticker is not available at the circuit, they won't be penalised.

Thx, Martin H

Hi, All:

'24H2V' 24 Hour Race October 18-20  Spa Francorchamps / Autosport Report

Just to advise that there will be a very brief report of the 2024 Spa 24 Hour in this weeks Autosport.

Hi:

24 Hour Report in Autosport

There is an excellent 24 Hour report in this week's edition by friend of the Club, Peter Scherer. It is spread across two pages.

Hi, all:

This camping issue needs prompt attention as to abide by it would take the whole heart out of the weekend. Matt is right - there is a fire risk.

Some odd rules issues arose. We were all told to wear hi-vis on the pit wall at night and when fuelling. Race Control were alerted to the fact that most of these jackets are highly flammable, and things went quiet.

Adding to the curiosity, we were instructed that as it was dawn we should take our hi-viz jackets off!!!

[Petrol Filler Caps]

Petrol Filler Caps

Thanks.

[Stuart Mills]

Hi, all:

Yes - Debs, our good friend in the office at Snet, has no idea where the false info came from. Trevor?

Just to help things along, the Circuit Manager is Stuart Mills,(his first 24 Hour) the long standing Deputy Manager is Deborah Howard (lost count of 2CV 24 Hours). The BARC event manager is John Hutchison (also his first 24 Hour).

The CoC is Tony Weatherley, who has run the race for several years - his says that his new year priority every year is to book himself into our race.

Don't hesiate to pass the time of day with these people, plus all the marshals and officials and the circuit team. They are all part of the family that makes it the '2CV 24 Hour'.

And, important info, Debs tells me that Tyrrells will be open until 23.00 on the friday evening, while we celebrate the 'Graham Harper'Trophy.
