Britcar Endurance Updates 2016
Discussion
Classification
It is and always will be the intention of Britcar Endurance to provide drivers with a level playing field and a sensible class structure and to that end we will shortly be launching the new classification system that teams and drivers can use to establish exactly which class they will be racing in during the 2016 season. Devised by Rob Hedley, the online system will allow you to enter a variety of parameters and then tick off the modifications and improvements you have on the car - such as adjustable suspension, aero package, ABS, etc. - all building up to a Britcar Endurance Performance Indicator (BEPI) that the scrutineers will use through the season. When you're ready to start using the online system, please contact Rob (rob@britcar-endurance.com) for access.
Dates & entry Fees
Track time bookings are complete and it just remains to put the finishing touches on the extensive support package before we can release the entry fees for both of our championships: Endurance and Production. Event Packages will be available to those who are prepared to commit early to the new season by contacting Claire (claire@britcar-endurance.com)
Autosport Show
Our place at the world-renowed Autosport show, to be held at Birminghham's NEC on 14-17 January, is now confirmed - please take some time to visit Claire, Rob and the backroom team on stand 2641 in the main hall. Complimentary tea, coffee and snacks will be available to all Britcar Endurance guests.
Spa
We are still considering an extra, non-championship, late summer round at the popular and challenging Belgian circuit of Spa but need commitments as soon as possible. Please contact Claire if you would like to sign up for that in advance.

Britcar Endurance 2016 Calendar & Entry Fees
Many teams have asked which days are the Championships running on. We can confirm all will be on a one day race meeting basis. The exact weekend day will be confirmed soon – ie: is Endurance on Saturday and Productions on the Sunday or visa versa. The known exception is the Brands Night race where the Endurance will be over both days due to night qualifying issues.
Date Change
There has been a date change to the 2016 Calendar with Brands Hatch Night Race being moved back one week (reflected in the calendar above). The TBA race is still in the planning process and we should hear very soon - we are looking at Silverstone International circuit for possibly the August Bank Holiday Weekend. This will be announced as soon as we have confirmation.
Regarding garages please be advised that we do NOT have the garages at Donington 4/5 June 2016 so please could we ask you to make alternate arrangements - sorry for this inconvenience. All the other race meetings both championships will get garages.
We are getting very close to finalising Registration, Entry fees and membership Prices so again we will update you on these imminently.
Britcar Endurance 2016 Interest
The interest for the new championship has been amazing and we are very excited about the new season. The list attached is teams and drivers who I have spoken or had communication from wanting to have information about next season and are very interested on how the Championship develops. Many teams not knowing exactly what car they will be bringing and which championship they will do, many wanting to do both.
