Anglesey 2016

[Frank Barnard]

I'm looking to run in the 24 Hours next year, twenty years after the last outing at Mondello. I've maintained a National A but can beginners (mature ones, that is) be entered, with which licences, or do they have to undergo some sort of circuit training first?

[Chris Yates]

Not sure what you mean, Frank - anyone with a Nat B licence or better can enter the 24 hour. You don't need any special training, but if it's your first time at the circuit you need to attend a 'new driver briefing' - but that's the same at any race in the UK.

If anything, you're overqualified!

[Frank Barnard]

Thanks Chris, I knew I was okay but it's the others! One used to race with a National B but lapsed years ago. The other two have never raced so, being slightly out of touch, I wondered if they needed to complete ARDS to qualify even for a Nat B. Or do they just apply to MSA? Thanks for your help.

[Trevor Williams]

If they held a national B licence within the past three years (2012, 2013, 2014) they would be able to apply for a National B licence

If they have never held a licence before, they need to do the ARDS course + medical etc

[Frank Barnard]

Suspected so, Trevor, much obliged...

[Pete Sparrow]

It would be great to see you and some mates out Frank

[Frank Barnard]

Nice of you Pete. My mates, at least my contemporaries, seem to be falling off their perches lately so I may be there as a driver next year, if not as a team...
