I want to participate too, who will pay me plane ticket?

[mattym0310]

i'll be getting a team together for definate

[mark christopher]

whats the format? one car, or full team of cars/drivers?

[Chrislong]

I am pretty sure it is 1 car mate, im sure G will confirm.

I'll be there - sleeping bag n'all. I recommend lots of Pro-plus, and perhaps arrange a lift home as id hate for anyone to fall asleep at the wheel and crash.

Are we allowed to drink alcohol while participating?

[IceMike]

that sounds amazin :P good luck all those entering

[telboy]

Hmm, sounds intresting. Not sure if i'd get time off from kids duty to do it though.

Does sound like a cool race - not exactly a world first though. There used to be a 24hr race in France years ago - Le "Touqet" or something like that i think.

What does EBOR stand for?

Our very own Donisthorpe used to run a 24hour race annually many years ago, which was outside on the grass. We did it one year as a team from our local Watford Club, and it was fantastic, we used an old Traxxas TRX-1 with Demon 1400 SCR's, Demon 17 turn motors and a good old trusty Speedmaster ESC.. Came 6th out of 9 teams too, including the famous Schumacher works team (with their Procat)!!!!

And I won't organise one ever again. It was really, really hard work. Possibly much more than people realise.
However good luck to all those who enter and those running the event.
