TVR Car Club Cadwell Park Trackday - 29 May 20

[TVR-MADS]

The TVRCC have provisionally booked Cadwell Park for its annual TVR track day on Friday 29 May 20. We are slightly concerned about the number of events in May next year (Monaco, Zolder, Spa, Thrill in the Hills) and would appreciate if you would add your name here, if you intend to do Cadwell next year. We are doing a similar post on the TVRCC website too. Thank you for your support.

I contacted Cadwell Park today. They are still planning that their track days will still be going ahead, although they are putting in procedures to restrict person to person contact (ie at signing on etc). Sixty drivers and maybe twenty passengers, spread out at a big area like Cadwell ………

Will keep you informed when/if I hear anything. In the meantime if you can encourage friends etc to keep signing up via the Club website.

Cadwell Park have sent out the following email to all Track Day organisers:-


"Hi all,

Firstly, I hope you are all well.

I have spoken to some of you over the last 24-48hrs with regards to the current situation at out venues in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Following extensive discussions with senior management including Jonathan Palmer, we are still able to operate car and bike trackdays and non-permitted car test days. Some areas of our business have been postpone until at least the end of April, but the risk to trackday and car testing customers remains very low, hence our decision to continue.

Naturally we have made changes which some of you might have seen already to reduce the need for human contact and gatherings where possible. As such please find attached these changes and actions we have taken. It goes without saying that there will be hand sanitiser available in registration areas and toilet facilities will be well stocked with soap in all dispensers. This has all been discussed and communicated to all circuit managers.


Can you please all read the attachment and communicate to your customers as you see fit.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Kind regards"

MSV are the organisation that own Cadwell Park and they have just announced that they are stopping all their tracks days until 30 April. They will review the trackdays due to take place in May, nearer the time. I am not quite sure where this leaves the TVR Car Club and our trackday, but I will keep you informed as best I can.
