24h-Race / Re: Race Schedule
July 27, 2017, 12:18:52
Hi,
I race with one of the Mini teams and have just learnt that the event has changed, with the UK 2cvs running for 24.5 hours and everyone else (include C1, Minis and Euro cars) running 24 hours.
This wasn't the race I entered. Part of the fun of the event is us all starting together and all finishing together (especially the pit lane drive through at the end). There are many different classes within this 24 hour race but the focus is rightly so on the UK 2cvs. It's an awesome event that is well organised and one that we all enjoy (from a driving point of view and socially) but something seems to have changed!!
I do not understand (and personally do not want to be involved) in different start finish times etc etc. Will there be separate presentations too (in different corners of the paddock?)? From recent events I'm not really sure if the minis (and C1s / Euro cars) are welcome or not.
Our team ("Slarky Malarky") have raced in all the UK and Spa events that we have been invited to. We're already a little peeved that our entry is £2500 compared to the 2cv early bird entry of £1700. I have paid a deposit to race in one 24hour event, not lots of little events. I understand there are still discussions behind the scenes that still need to be formalised, but in the event things stay as they are, please can someone advise who I should contact to get my deposit back from please.
Regards... Steve

I'm entered in one of the Mini Grand cars. I know of 2 drivers (Sam and Martyn Hathaway) looking for a (2cv) drive for this weekend. Both race in the Mighty Mini series and had top 5 finishes yesterday at Castle Combe.
Please contact me with info and I will pass on their details.
Many thanks..... Steve Miles
