Now that they are starting to come together it seems that Top Hat have a meeting 1/2 May at Donington and then take part in the Pau meeting the following week....
The Silverstone Historic seems to have a consensus date or 10th June - this could be a humdinger of a meeting with several 1 hour races (Gp4, Top Hat)
Gp 4 are at Zolder the following week, does anyone know how I can find out which other races are there as it makes more sense to get 2 races in one w/e
Brands super Prix sadly clashes with Chimay Top Hat. For me I think Brands will win as the GP circuit is awesome but Chimay is a seriously good fun w/e
How do I find out the races for teh Nurburgring Oldtimers as Gp4 have a race and again I would like to enter more than one race...
Spa is 22 Sep - is it too early to start the annual Spa thread?!

Spa is 23/24/25. I'm booking the hotel this weekend.

zefarelly · 12 Jan 2005, 14:30 (Ref:1198991)

Its never too early to think about Spa . . .I was thinking about this years race in the 59th minute of last years race (sitting on the armco with a dead engine!)

think I might get the digs booked early, and head down on Thursday, it was seriously overcrowded last year

its a real shame the Brands superprix clashes with Chimay, but all things considered an hour long race and fine ale in Belgium beats a 30 minute dash and a day out near Dartford . . .a shame as I love Brands :-(

simon drabble · 12 Jan 2005, 16:13 (Ref:1199056)

you are right - they are both excellant in their own way. The trouble is there is a finite budget and Brands is a cheaper w/e than Chimay (that said the last time I did that meeting I ended up having a complete engine rebuild!)

Peter Horsman · 12 Jan 2005, 17:51 (Ref:1199116)

Sat Apr 23 is the VSCC S'stone meet, and Sun 24 Apr appears to be BRDC 50 S car race on Hist GP circuit? Must screw the car back together........

Does anyone know the May Spa date?

jamesl · 12 Jan 2005, 19:02 (Ref:1199193)

RMU Spa Classic is 29 April-1st May...do you ever get tired?

simon drabble · 13 Jan 2005, 08:07 (Ref:1199604)

Peter the VSCC meeting is normally on the Int circuit so are you sure BRDC race the next day is on the GP one? Is the BRDC race within the VSCC meeting as usual or is it a standalone 1 day meeting? If so I wonder what other races they are putting on....

zefarelly · 13 Jan 2005, 12:02 (Ref:1199774)

I agree re the budget Simon, but I seem to be getting away with France or Belgium as short holidays . . .whereas Brand or elsewhere in the UK is just a race!

Pau was off the budget scale though, and the FiA series is a distant dream, but Monza is on my wish list one day

Peter Horsman · 14 Jan 2005, 08:40 (Ref:1200625)

It looks as though the present story is that the BRDC is on the Hist GP circuit, anyway. See BRDC PR dated 12 January.

Zafarelly, I really commend Pau if you can get to it. It's just driveable (10 hrs from Le Havre), and accommodation needn't be that expensive (see for example the article in last weekend's Mail).

And it's a real ball!!

simon drabble · 14 Jan 2005, 08:52 (Ref:1200634)

but dont go to the dinner which is a very long drawn out affair - with average food and no ability to smoke!
I had a look at their website and it seems that this is not a VSCC meeting but a standalone BRDC one, I wonder if there is a race for 60's sportsracers....

Peter Horsman · 14 Jan 2005, 10:00 (Ref:1200678)

It's the Sat 23 Apr mtg which is the VSCC one, which is probably on the Club. The BRDC one apparently on the Hist GP circuit is the following day. I'm not at all sure whether either will have a 60's sportscar race which is a bit of a bore because there is some nice machinery out there.

zefarelly · 14 Jan 2005, 10:39 (Ref:1200706)

aside the cost Pau is just a bit too much this year, for various reasons getting the time off is a problem, so Spa, Dijon and maybe CHimay will do (not bad I think for our 2nd ever year!)

**Adam43** · 15 Jan 2005, 17:56 (Ref:1201632)

Spa, mmmm. I hope to do the Septemeber 6 hour meeting this year instead of the RMU Classic.

Silverstone, what will be racing there? I have missed a big Historic Silverstone meeting since Coys (or whoever) died a few years back.

So Pete, get yourself leave and come back from Turkey in plenty of time to go to the Goodwood revival then Spa the following weekend. OK?

**Peter Mallett** · 16 Jan 2005, 06:28 (Ref:1202004)

The idea is to take a few weeks off because my contract finishes end of August.

I'm also hoping to get back for a few flying weekends between now and then. But if anything I expect to be on a beach in the sun early in September.

But plans can change.

Oh, and the hotel is booked!!!!

simon drabble · 17 Jan 2005, 07:35 (Ref:1202755)

Silverstoone Historic Festival details are not out yet but BRDC have asked HSCC to organise it, so expect probably most of their series and Group 4 and pre 65 sportracers with possibly Group C (all differenct races!!!)
It should be a fantastic meeting.
As for the BRDC one day race in April James Beckett is probably your man for the details! I am afraid that yr XJS might not get anything as its a tad modern. What are you hoping to run it in at Spa - Barry Sideways Race?

*whisper* I'm going to see if I can slip out of Turkey for the Chimay weekend too. Seems the 70's saloons have a race there.

Masser · 24 Jan 2005, 07:47 (Ref:1208360)

I was contemplating a trip to the Circuit des Ramparts in Angouleme which is held on the third weekend in September. I read in Motorsport in November (I think) that there was going to be a dedicated race for Maserati 250F's. Now that I see that the Goodwood Revival meeting is on the same week I am thinking if there will many cars at it. Does anyone know if the entries for Circuit des Ramparts would be effected by Goodwood or indeed have any details (the website www.circuit-des-remparts.org doesn't have much info)

Thanks

You would not regret the long drive (which is quite fun and a nice trip through the mountains). The atmosphere at the circuit is something else. Get to the Coppa meeting if you can, bloody fantastic.

Ian Sowman · 24 Jan 2005, 20:14 (Ref:1208878)

The main race at the BRDC meeting on April 24 is the Jim Walsh Trophy for FF1600s.

**Peter Mallett** · 9 Feb 2005, 17:42 (Ref:1221133)

Right, So far I've entered Castle Combe.

Awaiting entry forms for Donington but Flights reserved, hotel booked and leave approved. Hopefully I can fit in a few CTCRC events too.

zefarelly · 11 Feb 2005, 12:33 (Ref:1222905)

is that the groovy baby seriea at Easter Pete ? if so we'll see you there !

I'll be screwing my new engine together this weekend finally . . . .

**Peter Mallett** · 11 Feb 2005, 14:22 (Ref:1222978)

Yep
