CSCC have just announced that they are racing on the Le Mans circuit in 2020. Not sure whether I will make the trip as I dont think there is a separate 7 race.

They are at Dijon this weekend.

Le Mans Bugatti, not the 24hr track! Shares a little piece of the layout, though.

I’ll start a 2020 Calendar thread and move the relevant posts over, to keep everything tidy .

Thank you Gentleman Mike…
May be you could consider the "Deux Tours d'Horloge" by Eric Van de Vyver, a real 24 hours race. Dates should be 6,7 and 8 of November, Circuit Paul Ricard also said Le Castellet.
VdeV and HVM racing joined their forces to have this race back on the calendar. Fingers crossed, its always been a lot of fun.
Contacts are VdeV Sports and/or HVM.
Cars: GT/ Tourisme up to 1990, Sport Proto up to '76 and Sports 2000 to '84. Slick tires not allowed. Others can be considered I guess.

Now THAT is something I'd gladly take a trip to see!

[Gerard C]

F'corse you're welcome, watching or racing! Relaxed ambiance guarantee! I'm trying to have a seat in my former 944 T. A nice girl…

If we can persuade Gerard to join the 2020 tenths trip then he can bring ‘yer actual French’ croissants....

Presume they’d get confiscated at customs, though!

It is my understanding that the HSCC calendar will get shuffled around a bit:

Season opener is supposed to be Brands Hatch Indy
Donington will move to June, away from April and the Members Meeting
Cadwell will move to September at take the BH Indy slot.
Silverstone Inter Meeting to stay put in May

Donny in June would be nice
Cadwell in September, sandwiched between Goodwood and Spa, two weeks after Zandvoort is asking for trouble, I dont think there is room for an HSCC race in September competing for entries against those large pull classics, unless its on the Silverstone GP circuit with starting money paid out to everybody

Cheers for the info. Its nice to have a bit of change in a calendar. Although I hope Silverstone GP and Spa Classic don't clash.

Ha ben v'l�* aut'chose, t'as vu ça Chris! We could improvise a giant breakfast before going through custom then!

Very sad that Cadwell has moved to September . Although not always overburdened with entries the HSCC meeting in May or June at this most picturesque of circuits was one of my season highlights, right up there with Members' Meeting ( eye-wateringly costly, but it's sort of worth it isn't it ? ) and the Classic(the worst place in UK to watch racing but a wonderful entry) .



But Cadwell on a bright June morning is unbeatable .

[Rudernst]
