Early days but I've been asked by another club about helping them organise some spa races next year. if it comes off I'll be able to reserve 15-20 slots to play with myself.

It would be great to get the TVR's back there again

Anyone up for it?

probably looking like 30 min qual and 2 or 3 30 min races. and possible to share a car with 1 driver in each race.

Costs the same or less than last time..

Hi, All The Date for spa next year if we can pull it off will be 3/4/5 October.

I've pinged Geoff to ask if they can consider this with the TVR champ dates, and Ideally finish the TVR season a few weeks before..


An earlier start to the TVR season would be good, and then we could finish and have the awards piss up all before we get together again at SPA :-)

fingers crossed

The way to make it happen is simple..

Numbers of entries, so talk to everyone you meet, and talk them into it :-)

Okey dokey

This is the outline structure.


The race is run at Spa with RAC-Belgium in overall control

The race will be registered with the Uk MSA as a UK Standalone series.

We will take a UK MSA Clerk of the course to manage and run our race and a UK MSA Scruit to check our Cars.


There are a few FIA regs we have to comply with that over rule the msa regs. i.e seats they require in date fia seats, no Kirkey etc. the suit regs were different but the uk regs have now caught up.

The Format of the racing will be a single 30min Qualifying session followed by either a 60 or 61 min race ( if we get a large entry the extra min allows me to have more cars)

The race is a pit stop race with a mandatory pit stop and a minimum stop time, along with a pit window for this mandatory stop to take place.

The pit stop allows for a driver change if running 2 drivers and also refuelling.

refuelling is by either tuff jug or polarn pump. no jerry cans and funnels !

you must also ave exhaust covered, fire ex, earth point and all personel refuelling in fireproof clothing inc head.

National A licence is required for entry.

The final class structure will be decided once the entry is in. and will be based on p/w, fuel capacity and lap times from 3 uk circuits.

if 6 or more cars running to the same class/spec enter they will have the option of running in their own class.

Allowable cars are sports,saloon and GT. Last time we had mini, MG ZS, TVR, Lotus, MG Midgets, Ferrari etc.

Tyres are free so slicks or treaded


Thats it in summary.

total of 35 cars so obviously not just tvrs, working on the others.

if you've got rid of your novice cross you can upgrade to the nat a you just need to be able to prove 6 finishes
