Anyone have a timetable for the forthcomming weekend? Looked on the Snetterton website, but the timetable is not available.

Am looking to go on the Sunday. Is there likely to be a full Grid?

Hi there, I believe there will be around 20 cars out for the Tuscan challenge, which would make it our best grid this year! We're due to qualify at 10.00am; our first race is scheduled for 2.55pm and second race at 5.25pm. Hope to see you there. Cheers,
Steve

Don't get down in the dumps, it's the last details that take so long.

Just dump a 4.5 engine in it and get it out there, develop the 4.7 for next year.

Remember that my one had been in development since last July before scraping in to Oulton with no days to spare.

There is interest in Andy's black one by a couple of guys who race Caterhams currently, don't give up now there could be three out there!

yes its very easy to underestimate the work to get a car out, but once you hit the track its well worth it, and you forget the problems...

I did my first two races at Cadwell in a hired Caterham Roadsport B. I had never even sat in a Caterham, let alone raced one. And I'd never been to Cadwell either.

I qualified last and came last in both races. I did overtake someone once, but ran wide and that was that for the rest of the race.

Went to the TVR Car Club track day up at Cadwell. F#####g awesome track, loved it, bit tight, but suited me just fine. Looking forward to going up. Hope you all get sorted by then.
