There will be plenty of pitting area in the field next to the track, which luckily is now firming up. The weather forecast is for a dry day, but cold and a medium wind which will bring the chill factor feeling down to around 6 degrees. So, wrap up.

Please make sure you use the entrance by the nursery buildings and not the one marked croquet club. This leads directly onto the field where you’ll see the track at the far end. If you can’t see the rostrum from the double grey metal gate then you have the wrong gate.

We are a BRCA affiliated 1/10th scale electric off-road club and run under their published guidelines. In particular, all Lipo batteries must be hard-cased. This weekend we will be running 2WD and 4WD electric buggies. You can race at Southport three times before requiring a BRCA license. However, for insurance purposes and your own peace of mind I would strongly advise becoming a member.

I’m assuming you have your own personal transponders. If not the club have a few to loan – first come, first served at a hire price of £5/transponder.
