If anyone needs a driver for this let me know!
Or even a full up and running car to use for it also!

Is the rule about minimum of six per team flexible?

We talked last year about doing it with a team of two.

If we enter a team of six and four dont turn up/are made up (like Mary) will we get rumbled?

Good question though!

Just checking, you know this is the weekend of the BRCA winter champs? Suspect the clash might effect numbers at both events.
