Race of Remembrance - Anglesey

[Tommyracer]

We have a seat available in our MGZR competing in this fantastic 8 hour endurance event.

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War, Mission Motorsport – The Forces’ Motorsport Charity – bring you the Race of Remembrance

At 08:00hrs, Sunday 9th November, 45 teams will embark on the eight-hour race around the Anglesey International circuit. Teams of up to four drivers and cars will compete in the relay-style race with only the bravest daring to enter the ultimate; the Heroes Trophy - a single car entry in true endurance style.

Racing will pause at 10:45hrs for our own Remembrance Service in the pit-lane. With many of the entrants wounded, injured and sick (WIS) Military personnel and veterans from within the Mission Motorsport programme we will pause for thought at 11:00hrs, hosted by Army Chaplain Revd Antony Feltham-White (himself, winner of Top Gear’s ‘Vicar who can go quicker’) and supported by a Welsh Male Choir. Our hope is that the entire circuit; racers, support teams, families, sponsors, marshals and the general public will all join us for this short, unique moment.

Racing will resume at 11:15hrs and continue until eight hours has elapsed.

Our offer includes testing all day on the Friday, qualifying on the Saturday and the race on Sunday. Our price is all encompassing including all consumables, support, coaching and insurance. The seat is available to novices.

We can include accommodation in the price for upto 4 guests.

Please contact me to discuss further on 07508 772974.

Well done, are you planning on doing it again this year? How many cars were in your class, and which class was it?

[Tommyracer]

Hi, yes we are doing it again this year. We have purchased 2 grid slots.

We won the 1800cc cup, there were 6 no. cars in the class if I remember.

Radio LeMans did the commentary, with John Hindaugh driving one stint with no power steering in an MX-5. I have just finished listening to the podcast and it sounded like an excellent event, good weather, great safe driving and the overall result went down to the wire.

The event is confirmed for next year and many suspect the event will be over subscribed.

We are trying to get a couple of teams together at the momnent, only two are confirmed so far for 2015 but i susepct we will need to be quick....

I'm not currently in a position to get involved, but I'm interested to know a ballpark figure for an arrive-and-drive seat like that advertised in the OP?

[benjj]

If you're keen then I wouldn't dither. As it stands there is a waiting list but as is always the way I reckon anyone sticking their deposit in now has a very good chance of getting a place.
