Yes same venue as before. The track will be bigger, better, more driveable. And you won't be standing on the same rostrum as last time

Rest assured it will be for 1:10 buggies and not just a bit of one track and and as bit of another.

We will be working hard to get the venue into tip top shape for this event and all future events at the venue

[john333]

Sounds good, I'm hopefully up for this

[Rich D]

Sounds great Rob, good on you !

Good question. I will get back to you on that one

[AdrianJones]

Any update on the Caravan situation? I can only come if the caravans coming. Its a long way to travel and cannot afford hotels.

[Robbiejuk]

Camping will be available but it is a remote site so there are no Electric hookups and no running water so you will have to make provisions for that. Caravans will be allowed but we need to limit the numbers to save space so if you are bringing a caravan please send me a PM and I will allocate a space for you if it is available. Plenty of space for tents on the 1/8th track though.


Good news guys is that booking is now open!!

Hi guys,

We are very sorry to say that the above meeting will be postponed until further notice.

We have been busy trying to re-build the track in time for this event, making improvements to the original track and extending it. But due to the extreme weather we have been suffering in this area over the last couple of months, it has really halted our progress and made our job unmanageable.

The committee has looked at the work left that is needed to be done and has come to the decision that the only way we could get the track to a useable state would be if we had perfect weather conditions, which with the predicted weather forecast for the next week or so, is unlikely to happen.

What we wanted to give you was a great track that was both challenging and not random to drive. The work that has been done so far has really improved the facility and when the works have been finished it will be an excellent track to race on.

We also want to make the venue future proofed so that future track work will be minimal.

Again we apologise that the meeting won’t take place. We were all really looking forward to it and looking forward to you racing at it.

We are hoping to reschedule the meeting for some time during the summer, calendar permitting and we will let you know first. Also as you have pre-booked for this meeting we will give you a discount at the rescheduled event.
Please accept our apologies and we hope to see you in the future at A1 Racing Club.

Robert Jaques

A1 Racing Club.
