[syhm1984]

Of coz I will in for anything

[jasn78]

Clay what is the deal with 2 people in the one car? I am not talking the same time just splitting the time driving as both myself and my old man might be interested in this in my car.

You'd need to be seperate groups. They used to run about 6 groups on the day (that may have changed) which made it possible to share the drive. You'd need one in group 1 and say group 3 or 4 for example to allow sufficient time between runs to swap drivers. As group 1 circulates, group 2 is lined up, group 1 comes off, group 2 goes on, and group 3 lines up. When there's no issues (e.g. cars leaking oil or needing recovery), they circulate pretty quickly.

Surprised to see they've changed it to 4 lap sessions, used to 5 laps per session, and 3 timed sessions with a 4th untimed.

I'd probably be up for QR depending on when. My weekends are quickly booking up.

[team_v]

As it stands this is just an EOI so that if we do end up organising something i can just go to the list and shoot a pm to anyone who is listed for the specific venue.

The street series on weekends runs less laps but also costs less.

I will find out what the costs are for a second driver nad what the protocols would be (as sean said, might have to be in a different category.)

[Guy_H]

We have done quite a few of these sprint's - good value!

[nat225]

I am keen on a Sat / Sun! Need to stop my helmet from collecting dust.

QR is better and feels safer

but also open for Lakeside as it is close to home

[leitch]

I'd be keen for both venues, but as always it depends on the day. Saturdays are good, Sundays not so.

[sam_online]

Put me down for both please

[jasn78]

put me down as a maybe clay.

oh and prefer qr for this as well.

[team_v]

Okay, i have updated the details so far.

In the event that we get enough people interested and i decide to go ahead with organising one of these for the group, i will be contacting the people on the list for the venue that has been selected and asking for availability.

These are the dates and locations for the rest of this year just so you are all aware:

8 July - QR
22 July - LP
30 Sep - QR
14 Oct - LP
18 Nov - QR
2 Dec - LP

Note: These are all held on a sunday, if you are interested in a Saturday event it has to be the Top Gear Series (Which costs a lot more and is an actual race, not a timed sprint)

At this stage I would be looking at 30 September for QR as most people seem keener to start there.
This all relies on enough people showing a genuine interest and availability.

[jasn78]

Thanks mate that would be great as a starter and i reckon you could nearly gaurantee anthony would be in

[team_v]

I need a helmet too.
