Fred Tonge & Dean Cook

Andy Holden & Darren Dowling are also entered and I know Andy is working all hours to finish his Sag in time. We hope he gets there and can't wait to see the car finished, it's bound to be stunning. I'm sure Andy will give us an update on here soon.

Free Practice - Thurs 6th.Sept at 12 noon (30 mins)

Qualifying - Fri 7th.Sept at 10.55am (30 mins)

It would be great to have your support, we're up against some pretty hot stuff in the GT Class and we understand that there are over 40 cars on the grid in our grouping!

All the best.

Excellent news, it will be good to see the Tivvers out there taking on the European marque's .
Hopefully giving the opposition plenty of time to study the arse end of a Sagaris .

if any of you guys haven't paid the entry yet then I have a cheap one going

[teamHOLDENracing]

I haven't paid yet Dom, because I am trying to get them to accept that they should not be charging Dutch VAT when I am VAT registered here. Single European market and all that...

Just been looking at the Racesport Sagaris pictures and I'm struck by how similar the car is to the existing Sagaris racers. The biggest obvious differences other than the engine and box are the roll cage which is more heavily braced. Will be very interesting to see it in the flesh at Silverstone.

That's a fair point Andy. As I understand the tyre suppliers will do zero VAT on production of a UK registered VAT number. In any event though, it's reclaimable on your VAT return isn't?

[teamHOLDENracing]

No its not because the UK tax authorities would be paying input tax back to me when the output tax was paid to the Netherlands authorities. The single market tax rules (zero rate if selling to VAT registered person in another EU country) were supposed to sort this out.

Quick break to eat a sandwich then the gearbox goes in....

[taffyracer]

well if you can't sort it out you can have mine at 50% of the cost, would have loved to do it, last year we had to pull out because the engine went pop due to it being rebuild badly and this year we have had to do the same, frustrating as hell

[GlynnsportRacing]

Andy, I see what you're saying now. I'll have to try and sort this out retropsectively with V-Max Racing as I've paid in full already, which included the 6% local VAT.

P.S. - Did the gearbox go in alright and how've you got on with the wiring looms?

Gearbox not in, caught in coolant hose of wrong size hell. Not a problem, plenty of other things to do, so splitter, rad frame, oil coolers installed and one bank of exhausts. Other side au matin, then fettle the bonnet to fit. Will fire the engine Tues evening instead. Making good progress, its just irritating. Loom - well all the ancillaries work and I have a brand new ECU loom, so I am hoping engine side of wiring is fine. I even have a demisting fan. The drinks cooler isn't wired in yet tough....

Re Camping for the Britcar 24 Hour weekend - basically there is no ON SITE camping for SPECTATORS.

I am travelling down from Scotland to marshal both the Britcar 24H and the ELMS with a trip to Cornwall in between.

See you guys there.

The closest non competior camping would seem to be

>>>>>>
To all you supporters who wish to come to the 24hr race, you can camp this year with Whittlebury Park, this grass site is used at the F1GP and access is from A43 in both directions from M1&M40.

Go via Silverstone village road look for the Whittlebury signs and go toWhittlebury, turn right at T Junction through village, you find the Park on your Right. Go down the long drive to the Campsite office.

Tel[phone]

The area set asside for you is by the Lake and you can walk through to the circuit at the Grandstand entrance, where you will find the stands will be open, a fair, plus the bar,catering and toilets are available with access to the pits by the central bridge over the track to see the teams in the garages, where you should meet some big names from TV, Music and the Track.

The time table for the Airshow etc is on this website, so please bring a friend.
