There Are a very limited number of 2CV Club "Guest" Tickets available to our sponsors, etc.  These are printed only and will be available at the circuit from Friday Evening.

If you are in need please e-mail me ([email protected]) or call zero7810544424. 

First Come First Served. 
In order to be fair to all entrants, please only two per entrant.

I will do my best to issue accordingly. 

All, The changes this year to the scrutineering mean that you may not be checked at every meeting. 
However as this is our first event of the season we will all be expected to present cars and kit as usual at 11:30 as normal.  Please see final instructions on BARC site for full instructions.

Get your entries in!!!!!

Don't forget or maybe you're not aware, but the club will be represented at race retro with Ethan's car and My car.  Anyone wanting to visit us, promote us, link to us on their socials etc please do. 
Also if you fancy manning the stand then please message us.  Any time that you can give will help promote the club and ensure the survival of our unique season.   

Your help and support is always appreciated. 

Thanks

Race retro.  23-25 Feb.  Stoneliegh. 

All members, a call to arms!

As the regulations are being finalised now the club requires someone to step forward to be the Named 'Drivers Representative'.  A position that was last year filled by Lien Davis.  The regulations cannot be finished until we have a name in the box.

Also Please be aware that we are still looking for several posts to be filled / supported on the committee.
If you want to get involved please drop us a reply / DM and well get in touch. 

Thanks and dont forget to push race retro and share our FB posts as much as possible accross the Socials

I am asking for members to join the TC?  Anyone fancy it?
We need a good broad cross section of members, young, old, male, Female, racing, non-racing, and from all teams.


The remit for the TC this season will be to look for grey areas, clamp down on developement, close any loop holes, query and close any variations between cars, and primarily to assist the slowest cars to close up. 
As David o'keeffe said in his interview with Katy,
"there are now certainly ten cars that are fighting in the top pack". 
We need to make that statement become "all" cars are capable of fighting in the top pack. 
The hope is that a podium could be within reach for a mid fielder given thier day! 

Please support your club and the close racing we have.  We will meet around once per month via online meeting.  Circa 2hrs max.  We hopefully will also have the input of our scrutineer Jeff Nixon, and be able to conduct some of our walk rounds again this season.  (Lyddon & Oulton are 1 day meets so maybe not there).

Its important that we look after our club and our racing. 

Thank you.

Just a heads up to all - 

the Tickets are mailed out by Pembrey circuit and come from a reseller mail address,  so check your junk folders if not yet received.  Mine were moved by mail to spam.

[clear statement]

Hello Board.
As we have had lots of discussions and to-ing and fro-ing about anglesey and pembrey (inc enduro etc).... and we are less than 8 weeks from the start of the season i have a few questions that should by now should be clear and public

Do we have a clear statement of what the season is now comprised off, and what are the final agreed costs.
Is the pembrey enduro now officially part of the championship. 
How much is the season? when does early bird start and end? 

When are the regulations (updated 23') going to be available, entry forms, and all the "get involved" stuff that still shows 2022. 
Are the AGM minutes available? (and any board mtg minutes). 



Also an idea for the website content, What about a "whos who?" our racers, our regulars, champions past and present, their cars, etc.  the sponsors, the teams.  Personal interest features.

Thanks for the continued efforts.

So finally found the second race from Croft.  THe entire sprint season (from my point of view) can be seen on Youtube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOJiM5hyCXobGeZjy_kNalA/videos

Enjoy. 

All,

Firstly thanks to everyone involved in the organisation of this years 24Hr race, and congratulations to all the class winners, and every team for making it what it is. 

After an amazing Debut 24 for me and 3rd place, i finally got round to watching the you tube vidoes (well bits of them) from the live feed.
As always a great job done by the Commentary team, and Katy the roving reporter really brought a new aspect from the driver point of view too.
It is however glaringly apparent that the commentators at any point in time have no clue as to whom is in each car and have to resort to asking team members or guessing. 

As an improvement for next year is there a possible way they may have access to the online info we submit / or do we look at a system such as is run by the C1 club with driver transponders?

Thanks all, see you at the DD

Ok, so here we are again.  I have my tickets and only get 4.  Doesn't even cover it!!

does each "driver" get 4 tickets.  So a two driver car gets 8?  can we not negotiate that we get 4 tickets per race!!   
If we were doing 1 race per weekend and 8 / 9 weekends per year, we would (i assume) still get 4 tickets! therdfore at present single drivers are losing out on 50% of the ticket qty.
This is a real disadvantage to anyone whom wants to bring family with them and get their support crew in to the venue too. 
I am not asking for special treatment, but parity in the ticketing. 
One car may get 8 tickets, because its two drivers, and single drivers only get 4.  Not good for those of us bringing an extra car to the grid by not sharing. 

Can this be addressed with the BARC?   

SO,     as Silverstone wants £30 per ticket (with no concessions) then anyone got a couple of spares for my Old folks! 
Thank you all in advance.  See you all friday night. ( After 7 wayne.)

Apologies for the languauge!

[It is the entrant's responsibility]

As per the regulations and as voted at the AGM, the Championship vehicle log book has been made available for down load on the website Forms page. 

https://www.2cvracing.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/site/tech/2cv-racing-logbook-generic.pdf

Please note it now your responsibility to print and keep it with the car as per regulation 5.4.3 below.   The Technical committee will not be providing them. 

5.4.3 All cars must have a 'logbook' presented with the car for scrutineering, and at all times during an event. The logbook shall be available for download and print from the C2CVRC website. It is the entrant's responsibility to ensure this logbook is kept with the vehicle, includes the Vehicle ID number and is available for review upon request by the Technical Committee (during random Inspections) and at scrutineering for review upon request.

Thanks Chris for uploading.

Is it possible that the minutes from the AGM and the subsequent board meetings are available. 

We are about to start the new season, and the regs are not available on BARC website if searching through the BARC site, discussion at the AGM are not visible and technical changes to regulations not apparent!  Id like to review the minutes to check the changes as discussed against what has / will / should be published.  Thus closing the loop on the suites of changes vioted for and review the items that were put on hold / deemed require further investigations. 

Crossing T's and dotting I's so to speak. 

Thanks
Andrew

[PLEASE CAN WE ASK YOU ALL TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR HARNESS INSTALLATIONS.]

All,
As you are all aware the Technical committee are continuing to review a number of each cars at each meeting. 

Any Issues are noted and each competitor is advised of our observations. 

However at the reviews in Mallory last weekend it was noted on several cars that the Harness Mountings are not safe or as per Guidelines. 

PLEASE CAN WE ASK YOU ALL TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR HARNESS INSTALLATIONS.  Buckle threading, Angles, no rubbing on frames, and safety pins in clips, dates, etc etc.

We urge you to review the manufacturers installation instructions as well as the MSUK guidance notes.  (Attached). 

You are responsible for self certifying your car as safe to race.  Please satisfy yourself that it is the case.

Further Official Bulletins may follow but I felt it important enough to put this out there. 

Thank you. 
Andrew Bull
For and on behalf of the Technical Committee. 

Hello all.
In need of 1 spare ticket for Mallory if anyone has one?
See you for a beverage or two on Saturday evening. 

Thank you in advance.
