And how long before we get the first "how do i volunteer for the event?" or "Its not on MSVRs meeting list yet" posts?

Technically, this ought to be in the International Single Seaters forum anyway...

Rob29 · 20 Feb 2015, 09:15 (Ref:3506955)

Regards

Mike

MSVR are an equal opportunities race organisation - they also organise bike meetings.
this form is adapted from their standard one
not applicable would be your answer or just leave it blank

Mike Clark · 20 Feb 2015, 10:40 (Ref:3506979)

Thanks Both

Form filled and returned!

Fingers crossed!

The Marshals campsite will be within the Millennium Arena and will be tents only, its on the planning application which is in the public domain if you know where to look.

That said it could change as planning was approved with 'conditions' and those will only be known in a few weeks

As has been said on the only official source More details will be made available in due course

Anything else, including the application drawings shouldn't be relied on. The drawings accompany the application and do not necessarily reflect the final agreement/decision nor what else the organisers may be considering or changes that may still be agreed with the Council as more planning is done.

The Battersea Park circuit layout also still has to obtain FIA approval and track homologation.

For anyone interested in more speculation, I can also tell you the number of marshals likely to be there (or at least in the application)...but again this is very much subject to change.

It is the first one here, so still much to be decided I am sure.

The info will appear on the MSVR site as soon as they have it..... until then, patience.

The conditions considered by the Planning Committee are relatively standard - removal of buildings within a specified period; tree protection measures; archaeological investigation prior to any building works taking place; noise control measures; and traffic management plans. Interestingly, the consent is only for this year's event. Therefore, if it is to repeated next year and beyond, a further approval would be required.

The planning drawings carry a fair amount of weight as any significant changes are likely to require a fresh planning applications - and potentially a 13 week delay. Due to various bits of case law, Councils have less options these days to accept significant amendments to planning permissions.

I wonder if there'll be any electric hookups...

Hey peeps. Hope you're well.

My name is Andy and I am currently at uni studying Engineering. One of my assignments is a research project and my chosen topic is 'Formula 1 vs Formula E'.

For this project I have been tasked with gathering data information to get to a definitive conclusion. For this I have created a simple survey which literally takes a couple of minutes to complete. Would it be possible for you kind people to complete it. It would be very much appreciated.

The link to the survey is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8ZW7892

Again, many thanks

All the best
Andy

Despite all the people taking the p__s on the previous thread, it's definitely happening - and Britain/London gets a double-header as a season-finisher. It's motorsport, but not as we know it, etc...

However, there are some heavyweight international teams involved, and some well-respected drivers too - should be a great event.

I've volunteered, and hope to see plenty of orange mates there too...

I've been watching some of it on ITV. In truth, it looks really good. Close racing, very quick and street circuits that leave no room for error.
