i voted more however really it will be roughly the same just i will try to organise the weekends i have to work better with the timetable so i don't have to miss so many.
basically i think i do roughly on average from march to september 3 out of 4 weekends sometimes a load on the trot and then a couple of week break. you always look forward to those breaks thinking, mmmm have a lay in bumble about relaxing, come the weekend you're thinking god i wish i was at the circuit. |

i'm probably gonna do less as recently my work has suffered, as has my health a little. Think i over-did the summer and too many consecutive weekends has taken it's toll, esp the Silverstone weekend. Will try to be more selective in which weekends i do and ensure adequate gaps so i don't overstretch myself...

I've said the same because I have done something most weekends this year (since the start of the season).
I have had a lot of busy weekends on the trot recently (not just marshalling) and I feel I need a break... to get some sleep, tidy the house, mow the lawn, wash the car... but on the other hand I really enjoy marshalling and I am looking forwards to my next few busy weekends. Its just a shame that there are often two meetings on the same day, both of which I would like to do. I can understand possibly being able to do two circuits on the same day (as some people did for the 24hour) but two circuits at the same time? I'll have to work at that one. PJ |

I've added in a "not at all" section as I think it might be interesting!

Probably a few less due to other commitments, but we'll see how it goes

The same, at least in Belgium. Didn't do that much over there because of work and being fed up with the Belgian way.
And I'm cheating: going to vote "more" in a second, for my UK events. I know, a bit mad. |

I usually end up with the same number of days anyway because that's the way the season pans out once I've kept a few week-ends free. For about the last 15 years I've done 34-36 days every year.

Although I would like to do at least the same, if not more, in all reality I'll probably end up doing a bit less. Work seems to end up taking more and more of my free time, but the real reason is my recent aquisition of an MG Metro Cup car ready for racing next season.

This wasn't a good racing year for me due to family and work issues. I'm aiming to be back at my usual level of activity next year.

I've said less - but I say that at this point of the year every year!! I think I've done 29 days this year (or will have done by the end of it) and for me, given the hours that I spend at work as well it is a bit much. Having said that when I look at the availability sheet at the beginning of the year it all seems so achievable!!

I've done about 65 days this year (including training days). I expect/hope to be able to do a similar number next year.
More at Thruxton maybe? Nice to get an overseas trip in somewhere. Perhaps fewer at some places to compensate. (Won't say where because it's not that I dislike them but just want to do some other things.) Regards Jim |

Maranello Man - I/O
Like other comments I have voted for more events although my priority lies with Donington. I hope that we "pull" back some of the more prolific events and although these tend to be two or three dayers they are spectacular.
Regards to all and stay safe. |

Need to do more,this has been a particularly poor year for me .My personal record of 75 days,set in 96 (still havn't got a life ),is just a distant happy memory .
P.S. Welcome to the forum Maranello Man |
