[Stickers on CITROEN Classic 2CV Race Cars]

Hi, All:

Stickers on CITROEN Classic 2CV Race Cars

If you look carefully at the excellent pics on the front of the July Snail's Pace you will see at least four race cars with no '2CVParts.com' sticker above the grille. If you read the regs, you will see that it is 'no sticker, no points'. Roy will be at Mallory and should have the stickers.

Our sponsors are very important to the Club, so please play fair.

I am pleased that Mintex Classic have come on board again. This is two stickers, one each side near the A panel. They are not compulsory but to carry them shows that we respect our sponsors. I will have about two per car at Mallory. Your car may have older ones which unfortunately fade rather badly so please replace them. 

Thanks.

Hi:

Citroen Weekend Snetterton August 27-29

[CITROEN Weekend at Snetterton / Update]

Hi, all:

CITROEN Weekend at Snetterton  / Update

According to Boris, July 19 should allow the lifting of the restriction on overnight camping by spectators at the 24 Hour weekend. MSV has to confirm that and we are in discussion with them. Hopefully it will also allow the lifting of the restriction on spectators accessing the paddock, which is ultimately MSUK's decision.

The travel rules between UK and EU remain very uncertain, thus also the plans of the five cars entered from France and Netherlands.

Any firm news will be placed here and on the event website, www.citroenweekend.co.uk

[Stickers at Brands Hatch]

Stickers at Brands Hatch

ECAS Sticker across the bonnet above the grille:

Photos from Cadwell Park show several cars without this sticker. It is a rule that each car carries it, and it is also a courtesy to our very loyal Championship sponsor. With both races being covered live on video it is an opportunity to help maximise promo of ECAS. Look for Roy in car 55 and he should have some.

MINTEX Classic

We welcome them back as as a silver sponsor. Many cars already have their stocker but they have often faded over the past two years. I will have nice new and fresh ones with me in the paddock.

Commentators notes

James Dartiailh and I have compiled a list of all the cars, drivers with some brief notes and sent it to the circuit commentators, Alan Hyde and Matt Suckling. Also to the 247.tv video commentators, Dave Goddard and Dan.

[2CV 24 Hour Race Trophy]

Hi, Matt:

2CV 24 Hour Race Trophy

Just for info, Wayne Cowling very kindly brought the 24 Hour race trophy to Cadwell Park and (in)formally presented it to our team as the 2020 winners.

On behalf of the Club and our team, I want to thank Wayne very much for going to some considerable trouble to get a new trophy base made and new engraved plaques made and fitted. With a good polish as well it now looks extremely handsome.

Some members may recall that a few years ago a then member whose team had won the historic trophy three times insisted on maintaining a so-called tradition and that he should be able to keep it. Eventually he settled for a copy. This one is the original and is and should remain the Club's property. It is proudly held by the 24 Hour race winning team who return it prior to the next 24 Hour race.

Thanks again to Wayne from everyone in the Club

It looks like we have 20 mins practice, 20 mins qualifying and 2 x 20 mins races. That's quite a lot of track time. And the meeting still finishes early on Sunday.

[volunteers]

Thanks, San. What the Classics Gathering project needs just now is a few more volunteers! Anyone interested please give me a call. Thx, M

[CITROEN CLASSICS GATHERING]

CITROEN CLASSICS GATHERING

This new event will be staged on the in-field over the Citroen Classic 2CV 24 Hour weekend. A lot of the basic legwork is now done and we have the active support of Citroen, 2CVGB, CCC, Club Peugeot and others. We hope to have a local folk band on Friday and Saturday evenings who will be on a stage formed by a huge hospitality unit kindly offered by JSCC who run CITROEN Saxos for Junior race drivers.

MSV at Brands have been very supportive as have Jamie and his team at Snet. We are now finalising admission prices, which will be very reasonable, and ticketing. There will be discounts for cars accepted as show cars. Advance bookings should open during April

The event will focus on Citroen cars and vans, Classic and current. It is open to cars of all ages and types and camping will be free. Sadly, no dogs.

We are now at a stage when we are looking for volunteers to help with the many details of the event, prior and over the weekend. One task in particular is setting up and running FB and Instagram pages with content supplied. Another is to set up and run a data base of all the contacts relating to the event. There are lots of others. If you or anyone you know might be interested, ask them to send a note to the contact address below, saying what skills or interests you/they have and we will find jobs for all.
