You can travel and stay over for work. If you are at a circuit working as an official or a marshal, then it's work.
Great, but who would they be Marshall’s for? There are very few competitors who could classify a club race meet as work. All dressed up nowhere to go springs to mind Dynion Araf Uchaf said:

I suggest you speak to BARC and MSVR. They will tell you that they, and everyone wants to get going. Club racing will start on 29 March, behind closed doors. The race doesn't have to be work for the competitors. Organised sport is allowed from 29 March and a race meeting is organised sport, so the competitors can attend. It is work for marshals, officials and medics, and they can (and will attend) too. LucyP said:

The only reason i won't be marshalling is seeing friends and family. Ironic really seeing as mixing (in the loosest sense) with people from all over will be allowed but visiting people won't be.LucyP said:

I understand where you're coming from, my old dear has the same stance regarding church and why should she go when she can't see family, she hasn't been because of this but I see it as cutting off your nose to spite your face as she loves church but is doing it off principle.Drabbesttunic said:

If the government says I can do it, I'm doing it. I might be stretching what they say I can do anyway. I meant that seeing friends/ family will be first priority, not Motorsport. Though seeing as I'll be allowed to play cars long before I can drive the 150 miles to see my parents thats less of an issue than it might be.

You appear to be missing the point(again). Specifically with the 750 race meet at Cadwell most competitors will have to travel some distance to get there, meaning that in normal circumstances they would wish to stay over night. However this is only legally possible if they stay over in self contained accommodation. So approx 80 or so competitors within the 750mc have this option. At the moment I can’t compete at cadwell as it is way to far for me to travel to on the day. I won’t be sleeping in a tent because too cold and also not specifically allowed. I won’t be the only one in this situation. If the race were at Silverstone I’d have no problem. So yes Marshals etc can attend, some competitors may be able to attend if they have a motor home and some will live close enough to commute on the day. But as most of the racing community are south east based I think Cadwell may well not be viable and certainly not profitable if it goes ahead and the MSV are happy to allow people to camp when the guidance is at least unclear
I think you have proved my point! It will be going ahead! Look on the 750MC site for the entry forms! You cannot do Cadwell, but you can do Silverstone, which are the first 2 on the calendar. Both weekends will be going ahead, because some people can do one or both of them, just like you!LucyP said:

I doubt many will adhere to ‘don’t drive too far’ ..
I’m with a car at Harewood on the 12th April, we are going from the West Midlands. If you’re competing at an event it may as well be exempt..

Castle Combe has confirmed that the HRDC has pulled out of their Easter meeting. Will run double headers of their "local" series instead to fill the gaps. Sounds pretty sensible given the circumstance.
I suspect that Caterham are struggling to see how it's possible to run their two day BRSCC meeting at Cadwell the following weekend. It's under review.

The 29 March restart is behind closed doors. The issue is when spectators will be allowed, and it isn't whether Corona knows the difference between an "attraction" and and "event", it's how the Government defines them. I think Alton Towers and Chester Zoo are "attractions" and race meetings at Silverstone and Cadwell Park are "events". As another person has said, since MSVR have removed tickets from sale prior to 17 May, they clearly agree with my interpretation.
Well there we have it, you were wrong. MSV just announced spectators from mid April. So clearly they agree with my interpretation not yours.Hope that humble pie tastes nice?! :-D

After extensive discussion the 750 Motor Club and Silverstone Circuit have taken the decision to postpone the Club’s opening race meeting, moving the event by three weeks from the 3rd/4th April to the 24th/25th of April.
The Club and circuit have made this decision together after careful consideration of all the relevant information and guidance, which combined with Motorsport UK’s decision to restrict clubs to single day permits meant running a satisfactory two-day event as originally planned would be extremely difficult.
You really should learn the difference between your opinion and proof.The Club and circuit have made this decision together after careful consideration of all the relevant information and guidance, which combined with Motorsport UK’s decision to restrict clubs to single day permits meant running a satisfactory two-day event as originally planned would be extremely difficult.
