Club 100 @ Spa (2017)
Discussion
Pulse said:
Is anyone else going to this, or has anyone been before? Looking for any newbie tips. I've only been in sprints this year and last, so the endurance part will be new to me (as will Spa, of course).
Any hints/tips appreciated.
No I've done the LeMans 24hr races a couple of times with Club100 & on both occasions it was epic.Any hints/tips appreciated.
Best advice is to pick some fast team mates and pick your pit stops so they don't coincide with every other team coming in as you'll be queuing for ages.
Lastly DONT forget your rib protector, made that mistake and a two hour stint at 4am wasn't pleasant for about a week after.
PS. Take a clear visor and wetsuit just incase

Good point on the rib protector! I'll need to make sure I bring it. I'll be the slowest team mate in my team already, so onto a loser there! Best advice is to pick some fast team mates and pick your pit stops so they don't coincide with every other team coming in as you'll be queuing for ages.

Our team was apparently dead last in 2016, so I imagine it'll be similar in 2017!We want to try and do a bit of strategy, but may prove difficult without radios. Any tips on that front?
I'm using a clear visor already - never bothered with tinted - but haven't got a wetsuit. I'll see if I can borrow one (although they're quite cheap anyway, so maybe just buy one).

Beg/borrow/steal a pit board? It might look a bit odd to start with, but it would make it very easy to let drivers know about pit timings etc.Not going but it sounds a blast, good luck!

People use all sorts of things in regular C100 enduros as a "pit now" indicator. Umbrellas, flags, blow up dolls. As long as its clear and in the drivers eye line it will be ok.You certainly wouldn't look out of place with a proper pit board, there are a few teams that use them.

I like the blow-up doll idea! I'm going to suggest that.You certainly wouldn't look out of place with a proper pit board, there are a few teams that use them.

are you not allowed to use bluetooth headsets? it's pretty much the norm in prokarting and other A+D endurance to use a set of £60 bt 1200m headsets.nothing like stacking up another team at the fuel pumps by timing pit entry just right
