Colchester - round 3 - 22 April

[jcb]

Looking forward to this one, just hoping it's not too windy and wet!!

Don't suppose there are any up to date photo's of the off road track after our visit earlier in the year?

Also whats the plan for the day with times for gates opening and starting racing?
Cheers in advance.

Finally I will be able to race this weekend. Can I sort out the brca license on Sunday, as I figure it would not be through in time anyway?

I think you should technically apply before you turn up to race, unless you are going to get Colchester MCC to get it for you.

Gates open at 8:30.

Is there a rostrum for the off road track now?

I was considering bringing a platform of some kind if not, I crash enough when I can see a buggy, let alone when I can't see it

I would hope you'd be able to see two rostrums from the A12. One will be for the touring car track, the other for the off road track. Unless of course they have moved the off road track away from the hedge and back to where it was previously

[Juttie]

Sorry yep there ar two and the track is still near the hedge and the touring has its own rostrum.

All, Just a few pointers prior to Sunday....

For those of you who havent visited CMCC before the postcode for the SatNav is CO5 9EZ - We are located just off Easthorpe Road.

Gates will be open @ 8:30am. Please drive carefully down the lane as it is a little bumpy.

Noticed some discussion above about the rostrum. We have a rostrum which is enough space for 10 Drivers, so all should be fine!

The club no longer has handout transponders so all drivers will need PT's. For anyone who hasnt got one, We have a small number of Club PT's which will be available for Hire on a first come first served basis. These are available from Race Control. We will also have MRT PTx's For sale.

If anyone has any other questions, Please post below. Untill then.... Lets keep our fingers crossed for some April sunshine.

Is the track similar to last year?

The track is in a different location to last year. When I went to the shakedown meeting at the start of the year I would say the track was a little smaller and bumpier, it also had a cross over, double and table top corner.
No idea if anything has changed since, although I know there were plans to smooth it out a little and do some updates.

Thanks for that, last year the track was really nice, old school What tyres were you using at the shakedown?
