Mini Lemans at Cadwell Park

[25 JET]

Can anyone give me some advise as to where I can locate 20 Cars from for an Endurance Race at Cadwell Park to raise money for Charity, Iam Currently Talking to Caterhams, Lotus and the Mini Challenge series but need some more help if I cant get them.... The event goes like this.

The thoughts I have had is to select 20 teams which consist of 4 drivers, each team pays an entry fee for the event which consist of say 6 hours driving or 12 if it works out, the fee includes the hire of the cars and the circuit to cover the circuits overheads and expenditures, and the remaining money stays in a pot to which the first 3 teams that finish the event can select for there nominated charities.

I.E:

1st Team (1) 50% of the remianing funds go to team 1s nominated charity

2nd Team (2) 30% Etc

3rd Team (3) 20% Etc

I know alot of planning needs to go into such an event but i also know that I can sell the teams and raise alot of publicity not only for the charties concerened but for Caterham Etc aswell.

The lighting and staff needed for the event can be organised through volunteers and local companies that I have spoken to and all have promised there support if we can manage to put it together?

Who knows maybe this could be a yearly event which can only get better and better!!!

Having raced at British Championship levels in bike racing and currently sponsoring Cal Crutchlow who rides for the Rizla-Suzuki British Superbike Team I have a keen interest in motorsport and this event can generate alot of money for chosen charities.

Thanks in advance to any information you can help me with.

P.S Jonathan Palmer has Promised Cadwell Park for an Agreed Fee and the Event will be held sometime in September.

I can't offer any advice i'm afraid KD, but it sounds like a cracking idea and would be a great event if you can pull it off. Of course i'd be up for entering a team, just let us know the costs when you have worked everything out.

Cheers WC, my Brother works for Lotus so fingers crossed we might be able to source the cars from there, if nor Rockingham is our next port of call the Rhea at the Mini Challenge is on the Hunt aswell.

Ill keep you posted.
