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.

24h-Race / Re: Competitor camping

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!!!

Hi, all:

Petrol Filler Caps

I hold the Club stock of regulation Fuel Filler Caps. A physical stock check today revealed 3 Caps. 

If anyone wants a new one, please contact me direct. They will be allocated on a 'first come' basis. I will take them to Snetterton.

Thanks.

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.

Visitors to the Pembrey race meeting on May 20/21 can, for the first time, try a growing offshoot of traditional motor racing.

Sim racers use a full three-screen, racing seat, simulator set-up.

One of the simulators, designed and built by Mick Sutton of PASR, should be near the Pembrey Scrutineering Bay, all ready to go. Anyone can have a 10 minute session driving the simulated race-prepared Citroen 2CV round the challenging Pembrey circuit. It's £10 for 10 hectic minutes.

Hi, all:

Edited shorts of the 24 Live Coverage

A Club volunteer has taken on the challenging task of editing the full 24 live coverage into initially a 10 minute and a 30 minute short.

No date yet, but a target is to have one ready for the Dinner Dance.

For sale / wanted / Gala Party Tent 3m x 6m
August 30, 2022, 22:26:51
We want to find a good home for a Gala Party Tent 3m x 6m.

It's pretty much complete. It needs what look like 6mm wing nuts and maybe some joiner pieces. We think Gala still stock parts.

Ideal for support at the 24 Hour.

It is in store in Birmingham near the Blues ground and it would be collection only. Free to anyone 2CV racing next year.

Call me on 07973 303982

Hi, all:

CITROEN Classic 2CV 24 Hour Race 2022 

On behalf of all the 2CV Team LION team, I write to thank everyone involved in the race for making it a great sporting and social weekend. Drivers, crews, marshals, medics, safety car drivers, officials, the BARC team and the Snetterton staff. Plus the commentators and video crew. The race demonstrated 2CV and Mini Grande endurance racing at its very best.

Everyone in every team tries their hardest to get the best result and Lady Luck is very fickle in the way she works. That's racing. Last weekend, she smiled at us.

We'll see you at the Dinner Dance. And we'll be back racing next year and hope you all will be too - the Club needs the biggest grid ever for the 2023 24 Hour.

Best wishes, Martin
