Ladies & Gents,

Some of you will already heard of (and possibly entered) this event, but for those who have not please do have a look at the latest Mission Motorsport event, the 2014 Race of Remembrance.

Twitter: @MM_RoR

This is an 8 hour endurance race at Anglesey Circuit (on the largest International layout) taking place on November 8-9. Not long from now actually. It is open to all cars up to 2000cc in 4 categories (listed on the website) - the biggest and most exciting one is the 'Heroes Trophy' - this is a true old school endurance class - 1 car / 4 drivers / 8 hours / flat out.

The format for the weekend is chock-a-block with cool stuff.

The race itself takes place from 0800 - 1600hrs on Sunday 9th and will be full of some rather familiar names. Dickie Meaden, Nick Trott and the EVO blokes are putting together a team and there are a whole host of other current and past BTCC drivers taking part. Fancy going wheel to wheel with Rob Austin, Paul O'Neill, Dan Welch or Adam Morgan? Stick in an entry and you will be (BTCC body checking optional!)

Before that on Saturday there is qualifying followed by historic F1 display laps, gokarting, MX5 autotesting, some monster truck stuff and lots more. In addition there will be drift cars and supercars doing passenger laps.

Don't forget the parties. We've got pretty good at these now (just ask Dickie & Monkey about the night before the Mission Motorsport Invitational the other week...) There will be several. They are gnarly.

The event has been planned, organised and executed by our resident chopper pilot and Mission Motorsport co-founder dude Jon Earp (his bio here: http://www.missionmotorsport.org/the-details/who-a... )

Entries are filling up fast so if you'd like any more info get in touch with me (via PH private message) or Jon directly on je@missionmotorsport.org

This event is being supported by a huge number of people and is a pure charity event, nobody is lining their pockets and all profits (if any!) go to Mission Motorsport.

Check out the site and if you like the look of it get in touch.

Cheers,

Ben

Will be racing an MX5 for Team Scuzzle Motorsport. Going to be great fun and can't wait to wave at Ben (Benjj) as I lap him over and over again! That's for the "Cobra incident" Ben!

Great value, a great cause and guaranteed banter from all.
Fantastic news mate thumbup

I don't think any of us were expecting you to be allowed anywhere near the place so good for you. Are you in one of the Jota works cars? I sincerely hope so as Team Clunge has just secured the use of a (German) manufacturer supported full Cup level enduro prepped car...

Ha ha ha ha haaaaaa!

Ben, I'm only back from a trip to the USGP the day before the event but will try my absolute best to get over to this. The in-laws are near Colwyn Bay so I've got a good base in North Wales. I'll see what I can do!
Good man, lots going on all weekend long. Race kicks off Sunday morning.

Ladies & Gents,

This is looming now and we're all really getting behind it at MM to get a final few cars on the grid.

We have capacity for 45 (which would be unbelievably mega) and we're currently knocking on around early 30s.

If you're keen please drop me a line (or Jon above who is the bloke doing all the hard work wink)

It'll be a fantastic weekend.

Hi Ben,

How do you go about buying tickets just to come along and watch this? I've looked at the website but can't seem to find anything.
Waiting on confirmation from Anglesey but they've said 'standard entry costs' to the circuit. As for other bits:

The Shorsec Racing / Team Clunge entry this year is going to be mega.

We fully expect to give a Le Mans style glowing discs and spitting flame show as the sun sets with only the last 200km to go.

Cant wait.
