Returning to normality - spectators

If anyone wants to support club Motorsport and come along to watch some of our fantastic 750mc events, here's a link to our calendar..

I am racing at the end of may at croft and it's been confirmed that spectators will be welcome. I believe this should go for any other events too from now on.

I would have done but I’m racing the same weekend. Interesting about spectators though as our club is still saying no spectators I think.

In the case of our 750MC events the word on spectators has been coming from the circuits as it's up to them to comply with the guidelines. I can see MSV are allowing people to book tickets for events online too, so it must be ok under the latest rules.

On the other hand the Welsh government have just cancelled our race in Anglesey in June over covid variant fears.. FFS... It's like they are actively trying to kill off Motorsport in Wales. There's what 2k cases a day and a st load of the population vaccinated AND it's an outdoor event! fking idiotic.

What racing are you doing anyway mate? Long time no see!

I’m co driving in this. The racing is called comp safari and it’s like a cross between rallying and really fast green laning. This was at the last event; https://youtu.be/-mOXhU59_nI

In our case we’re racing through woods/fields so it’s not as there would be spectators close together in grandstands so I can’t see what the huge risk is.

That looks a lot of fun, if a bit brutal!!! Do you have to sit on a pillow? awesome

The retards in the Welsh government have their own agenda unfortunately. It's OK for me to play Bingo, gamble, watch a film or live theatre indoors with hundreds of others though. It's completely stupid.

Agree. I was at the 750MC test event last year that was put on to prove to the Welsh government that meetings could be held safely. There were no spectators, we were limited to a driver and a mate, not the usual 4 tickets issued, and we all wore masks ALL THE TIME... And that was when cases were soaring and no one was vaccinated... I just don't get it. Maybe the event didn't go as well as I thought it did, or maybe the Welsh government just don't give a single fk about racing and the livelihoods of people connected with it. I think I've answered my own question.

Anyway... During the year if anyone pops along to a 750MC event with Sports 1000 on the lineup, come say hi!

Thoroughly enjoyed racing at croft. There was a bit of an issue with ride height checks being done incorrectly and our results had a number of DQs that were appealed and then the DQs removed and results reinstated. Took the enjoyment out of it a bit as it added controversy. But anyway, fantastic weather, maybe a bit too warm for me! Great circuit - a proper ballsy drivers track. Managed to break the lap record on Saturday but it was nowhere near as fast as I managed in testing when it was a touch cooler.

Here's a video from testing
