750MC Birkett 6Hr Relay
I'm told that the Birkett 6hr relay is one of the classics of club racing and that the format of the race is a wee bit different from a "normal" race. Could anyone who has attended one of these meetings before let me know what I have let myself in for. Is it true that there are always 30 cars on the track irrespective of incidents, pitstops etc :confused: :confused: :confused:
Anyone else going this weekend? |

Yes, it is true. For me this was a 'must do' end of season meeting. Something special, something different. Problem now is that they have moved it from Snetterton to Silverstone so I no longer go.

Yes Chiggs, its not a bad day out, there are always cars out at any one time, and lots of them, from BMW, to tiny frog eyed whatsits, makes flagging a dream! Yes, Full of diversity, and don`t tell anybody, but we usually get a little gift of recognition for our hard work too...

I would actually say there's probably more like 50 cars on track at any one time... there are 50 competing teams afterall!!!

Long time no see Chigley - until Saturday it seems
Excellent event. Radicals to chain driven Frazer Nashes, so plenty of flagging for you. We're in garage 6C, come in and have a drink with us |

To explain, it's a team relay. Usually you have 30 or so teams of 5 drivers, so if one driver breaks down another member of the team can start. Thats how you always end up with 30 teams on track.
