24h-Race / Re: The 2011 Matchmaking Thread
July 08, 2011, 12:35:02
Hello,

Myself and a friend are looking for a seat each in the 2CV 24 Hr race. It would be ideal to be in the same team but I realise it's probably a bit late / unlikely anyway. Separate teams OK - main thing is to have fun.

We both have quite a bit of experience in different cars and reasonable motor sport CVs. I did the race in 2008 (Crusader Vans). Came dead last but had great fun and was invited back by them for 2009 but been unable to make it since.

Anyone with seat(s) available please let me know - email to [email protected]

Many thanks

PS - I think the missing notepad had a list of timings/events of the 24 hours - it would be great to have a scanned copy (or photo copy), if at all possible. A nice record to keep.

Bob,

No apologies needed. I had a truly brilliant time - one of the best, if not THE best racing events I have ever done in fact. Sliding a 2CV round Coram and Riches at 4am, in the rain, one headlamp working and my glasses steamed up. Fantastic!!!

It was great spending time with you all and I should endorse the other comments about the students. Thanks very much indeed guys, you are stars. Does this make you think again about a career in motor sport??!!!

I have quite a few pics (there are also some of car 29 - with me driving - on Flickr).

I have a few email addresses (got Martin, Steve, Pete, Dave, Keith, Bob) but can't seem to extract others from this forum, so if you want copies please email me at [email protected] or post address here and I will end out tomorrow.

Cheers

Matt

24h-Race / Fantastic Weekend
August 11, 2008, 14:46:56
Dear all,

Just home from Snetterton after my first 24 hour race. It was a truly fantastic weekend and I want to say thank to all involved - marshalls, organisers, mechanics, supporters, other drivers and teams. And of course Keith Shoebridge and the Crusader Vans team, who worked so hard throughout the weekend and had so much bad luck.

Despite the unlucky result it was a truly memorable experience for me and I hope to be back next year.

Good luck to everyone for the rest of the 2CV racing season.

Best wishes

Hi all.

I have already sent messages to some members of this forum so apologies for duplication.

I have several years of saloon racing under my belt and very keen to have a go at the Snett 24 hrs.  Nat A licence holder, have raced at Snetterton before and a confirmed Citroen nut.

I know it's a bit late in the day, but please let me know if anything avilable - here or direct to [email protected]

If I don't make it, have a fantastic ime in Norfolk!

Many thanks

Matt Smith
