Zolder 2015 dates?

[ukkid35]

Are there any dates for next year yet? I can't see anything on the tvrcarclub.nl website, but the dates are usually announced by the beginning of December. Even provisional dates would be good for now.

Thanks

...they have lost money on this event in the last few years. So they will confirm things mid January.

That is really sad, it has become one of the highlights of the year for me, possibly the most fun car event ever.

Checked on the website and can't work it out, so just to confirm - All the track events are on Friday?

I might just be able to call in sick or something, because I am totally all out of leave at work, but this is absolutely the most fun in a car ever!

I have just found out the hard way that there are two different size upper wishbones. Although not until I put the wheels on and saw that there was no way it was going to work.

Sadly I will not be joining you this year. This is why I never book accommodation through TVR NL CC, at least this way when I cancel I will only have cost them a lost entrance fee. I am absolutely devastated, this is the second time I've failed out of four attempts.

First thing this morning I called Richard at RT Racing in Sheffield and explained my problem. They manufacture TVR wishbones. After carefully studying pics and asking for measurements Richard confirmed that he could supply the correct wishbones with bushes prefitted, all I had to do was get them back to London.

Luckily my gf offered to spend most of the day on the train collecting them for me, and so thery were ready for me to fit once I got back from work this evening. All I have to do now is take the car to my local tyre shop for an alignment. They know the car as they have done the job before, so I have every confidence in them.

Baring unforeseen disasters I will still be at Zolder, look forward to seeing you there!

Good stuff by RT Racing and your gf hope you got sorted and will be in Zolder

Why not join us, we are half of the brits going this year, we are getting the 10am DFDS Ferry from Dover

I would like to but I have run out of holiday at work, so I have to work half day Thursday, should make the 3pm crossing, but won't get to Heerlen in time for dinner.

Had such a good time - as always!

Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement, bosscerbera especially, as well as Passion Engineering in Mouscron.

Sadly I have a faulty SD card in the GoPro so nothing recorded, but it was good meeting everyone who gave me a PAX ride, and all those who jumped in to my car as well.

No Black Flags! First for me at Zolder, helps if you know where to coast...

Gala dinner was great too, and the possibility of TVRCC NL being at Spa next year was quite a revelation. It would need far more commitment from the UK for that to happen though, as Zolder is loss making as it is. Only 65 entrants this year, apparently it would need nearly double that for Spa to wash its face.
