Well, if anyone fancies a drive in a 24, in something other than a 2CV or C1 then let me know.

I loved my first 24hr race and will definitely do another. A good mate of mine runs cars in the Dubai 24hrs and actually won it last year. He offered me a drive, but it's way out of budget. What series/car would it be in

We do the Creventic events, Silverstone in April, Magny Cours and Barcelona in September.

Fair enough.  :)
I'll keep looking for other 24hr opportunities.

Just to be clear, I came here to seek more info on the C1's as a result of an article I read this morning.
What is now pretty obvious is that you guys aren't interested in them, but I think it's fair to say you've been pretty hostile in getting that message across.
Maybe I'll see you at Anglesey, lapping me, in either a 2CV or a C1, who knows!

PS What is a Belgian arm? One of Jean Claude Van Damme's biceps?

My sponsors have their logo on a slow car driven fast...............

Chris, could be lack of talent lol

As I've stated earlier, and some time ago when I first joined this forum I would quite like to race a 2CV.

Could be. I'm wondering why his sponsors are keen on him racing a bog-standard quiet-sounding Toyota Aygo...

I've not approached them about it yet.
I have approached them about the 2CV's, and they were not keen. That's them, not me.

Sponsors are not keen so it would be out of my pocket.

Initially it was to find out more information about the C1s as your were were kindly hosting them at Angelesey (knowingly or not)  and Spa, but since then it been purely for the banter.

Same for me.

Looking for budget endurance racing, but not in a 2CV.

Thanks for all the replies and lively discussion.
Keep up the good work.

Who? Me?
I've not got a C1, or a 2CV.
I read the article, and thought it sounded good. Good enough for me to come on here and do some more research.

It seems you were more than interested in racing a 2CV in the 24 hour race in 2013....

That's correct. I was interested, still am in fact. But I'd rather race my own car than pay for a drive.

Hahahaha.
Don't blame us 'outsiders' for this!
I think it's YOUR club that has created this market, not C1 owners with no where to race.
I will continue to monitor the progress of any series/ championship.
Thank you.

Yes. I would.
There is always the option of BoP.
This could be in the form of weight, minimum pit stop time, or reduced allowance on fuel stops.

At the end of the day, it's a 2CV club, not a Citroen club so it's up to the committee and members.

FWIW, even as a seperate entity I think that the basic idea has potential.

I've just read the article on Bridge to Gantry, regarding the C1 at Spa, and I thought I'd do a little research into it.
Unfortunately I ended up on this thread!
I'm surprised at the hostility towards the idea if I'm honest.
I've been looking at the entry lists:
22 cars at Brands Hatch
20 at Cadwell Park
18 at Oulton Park
I think there is enough room for 'another class.'
I'm not sure how that would dilute 2CV entries.

It seems that the 2CV fans are die hard, and good on you. A C1 racer is probably a different animal to a 2CV racer, as the history is not relevant to them.
But I think it is blinkered to think that you can maintain grid sizes as the cars get older, and more valuable.
I would see the C1 as a support to your racing, not a replacement.

With those prices in mind, racing with you guys has now been added to the list for next season.
I just hope the dates don't clash with my other races.
