...and there's the Rockingham Stages rally too, which this year is 10/11 December. As a single venue rally it's not the full on dark cold forest experience, but it's worth doing. Just hope the weather isn't so cold this year as it was last!

Rallycross at Croft 5th & 6th Nov if you can't get down to Silverstone
Otherwise, as already said, karts and Rallys http://www.brmc.org.uk/ Karts will help keep your flagging arm up to strength through the winter. Rallys will teach you never to moan about early starts or bad weather at circuits. If you still need a fix, then look at the less mainstream stuff like Trials, or find some local clubs running autotests or 12 car navigation rallies or similar. |

in my first year of marshalling last year in december time trying to book things for november! went on seperate websites to make sure every date was booked, i wont do that again!
best sites i stumbled across, google: racedates.com, silk rally radio, and itsmymotorsport. the first 2 will really sort you out 2nd more geared towards rally and training fixtures. the third is more uk specific and is in depth about circuit guides nowt better than doing the proper club rally stuff, and not the high profile crap! there's loads on in the offseason, i wont have one, unless you can count 7 days! |

Hi Kangaroo 75.
Your post does not make clear where you live in the UK, and how far you are prepared to travel. Brands Hatch (MSVR) has a number of events during November as follows: 5 Nov - Lotus 1000K (with one hour night practice on Friday 04 Nov). 12 Nov - Victor Meldew Races. 19 Nov - BRITCAR Into the Night Race (with one hour night practice on Friday 04 Nov). If you are interested in marshalling any or all of these events, please send me a PM, and I will make the necessary arrangements. |

I live near Manchester and don't mind where in the UK the events are, some good suggestions so far, really tempted with the MSVR event on 12th November, going to Google it and see if I can find out what's running |

I'm afraid that you are wasting your time at the moment as the event was only confirmed at the beginning of this week. The VM has been a traditional end of season event at Brands Hatch for a few years now, based on an idea from Project 8 Racing (so, lots of BMW's and TTRS cars). It will be interesting to see whether any of the races from recently cancelled Donington Park meetings will now be included in the programme.

Peter that was a good assumption...
The BARC SEC TinTops and Intermarques will also be at the November 12th date at Brands, this is a replacement for the Donington round that we have lost. We're also hoping to have DMN there too, but as its a championship we need to get all the paperwork in place for that one first. It should be a great meeting, the Victor Meldrew is always a good giggle and they usually supply sweeties too (usually Werthers originals!). If you venture into national and club and search in there for Victor Meldrew it'll explain a bit more about it...a very light hearted meeting at the end of the season! |

November/December events
AC Owners MSA Sprint is at Goodwood Circuit on the 5th of November .
Greem can you let me have the club website for the rally event in December at Rockingham please? The circuit calender doesn't go that far yet. Charlotte Last edited by Charlyw001; 15 Sep 2011 at 15:13. Reason: added text after blonde moment |

http://www.rockinghamstages.co.uk/ They don't usually start polling for people until October, so hold off for a little while - the website still has a bunch of 2010 details on it. DM me if you want the contact details for the chief marshal. |

As said earlier there is a winter meeting at Anglesey on 27th November. There is usually races for Formula Fords, Caterhams & Sports & Saloons (IIRC) Format is normally qualifying in the morning then a race per class before lunch and a race per class after lunch. With a finish time around 16:30 so you could get a full days marshalling and still be home by 19:00

A you mention the www.silkrallyradio.com website, why not come along to the cambrian rally on the 8th Oct, its not far away and virtually every silk callsign will be there, most of us are circuit bods as well so we wont bite, much, unless we are hungry.... erm,
Anyway, as mentioned the Roger Albert, BRMC north have Ae to run, longest and best of the event (thats true that is, the competitors said so last year) plus its a good chance to re-live the good<?> old days of 4 days marshalling whilst dashing round the country, surviving on Little chef all day brekkies 1st weekend in dec is the grizedale stages, great event, classic location. If you are rally registered with the MSA there is rally GB in November, 4 days this year, plus WRC cars in the dark, MMMmmmmm |
