Gents,

Its an open pit lane as per most MSV days with 30 cars in the pit lane for each session. Staggered track entry to keep a clear circuit again as per MSV rules.

The circuit will be fully marshalled and you will need to be aware of flags, overtaking on the left etc.

If enough novices sign up i'll look to run a pure novice session

Aaarrrgggghhh!!!!!! bangheadbanghead

Is it really so difficult to provide some basic details???? All I would like to know is....

1. Will the sessions be split according to experience?

2. How many cars will be allowed as a maximum per session?

It's not really difficult is it?


Now breathe................hehe

May I add something...?

Track time is now 9-10am on the Sunday. Track time is only available if it is pre-booked at £40 per half hour session. You can book 2 sessions if you wish. Helmets will be supplied if needed, 1st session will be novices if there are enough to warrant splitting it, otherwise it will be open for an hour. The costfor us running this hour should be £4,000 but MSV/BARC and 2cv Club have negotiated it at £1,500. If there is not enough interest then there will be no track time. No obligation to book. No one is making any money or sponsoring anything. These are just the facts of the agreement between the parties involved. Don't shoot the messenger (again) please. shoot I am just here to beer , driving , bit more drink , then some driving , then win again and be on cloud9 ......then drink some more. BUT, no argue !

Well, there's nothing like being consistent.

And that is nothing like being consistent. hehe

Sounds like you're being messed around too though, Simon, so please take that in the light-hearted spirit it is intended.

Now, hands up who intends to be in a fit state to drive on Sunday morning at 9am? headache

Anyone?

9am does seem a little harsh on those who will have been drinking till 4am, so that pretty much covers everyone.
Oh sod it, i'll get trashed the friday instead

PS Did someone mention a BBQ on the friday night? yum What's that all about?

BBQ for officals, marshals and drivers in the 2CV race - put on by the 2CV club.

I'm sure there will be various PHers around the place having BBQs. Just introduce yourself and crash one. It would be polite to bring food and/or beer though.

Beer/Food no problemo thumbup

MrWallace has persuaded me to stuff a Chimnea in the back of the car as he has some wood to get rid of, I think we will be the ones attracting others should it be a bit chilly! That being the case, I'll pack a few disposable BBQ's myself. All welcome Friday night. Look out for the Black Megane and the Black Westfield next to each other.

This is a shame for the people who wanted to go on track, but if the numbers on the calender are anything to go by, I doubt there will be 38 people out of 97.

I think you'll find there will be significantly more than 97 people at PF!

I'll have about 40 available on the door- bad news is we don't have a credit card machine so you'll need the cash i'm afraid.
