Tried to find the entry form - where's it hiding?
Looked on BRCA site, Onetenthoffroad.... Any clues appreciated, thanks Nigel.

Remember that you have to enter via your Regional Rep.
Fill in the form and hand it (with payment) to reserve a slot. Filling in the form does not guarantee a place as each Region only has a limited number of places, unless its for the Juniors. The higher you qualify in the Region the better your chances of getting in.


Stuart.

[DJ's Dad]

Thanks Stuart/Nick much appreciated. Intrigued to see it's Fastrax Turf-Ripper's as the control tyre for Silverstone. Thanks again Nigel.

Juniors Event at Silverstone - Tyres

Hi All Juniors.

Please be aware that all under 13 and under 16 Juniors entering either or both the 2wd and/or 4wd event(s) at Silverstone will be "given" a full "set" of Turf-Ripper tyres for that days competition. A set comprises tyres for both front and rear axles which have been kindly donated by CML Distribution in conjunction with the host club.

Please note also that these are tyres only and competitors will need to provide wheels and inserts to enable mounting on their cars.

Regards

Hi all,

Just wondering what the best tyre is to use on this track in relation to wear rates etc.

I know that the Turf-ripper is nominated for dry conditions but how long do they last? 1 run, 2 runs?

I have also heard that our BB green spikes are used in the dry like at Kiddy and Southport. How do we do on wear rates of these in the dry?

Any local knowledge would be gratefully received!

Thanks

[spenner]

Info: one set of turf tippers could last you the whole day!! Depends on the driver, the Silverstone astro was new when purchased and offers plenty of grip. I have never used bb's in the dry and don't know anyone who has?? I would say that if you was to trim them down like at southport they would be good...

[wacattack]

So who is going to the f2s then? I know I'll be there :thumbsup:

[Belsten]

me too :thumbsup:

[wacattack]

Hopefully I won't repeat last year. Tq a round in both 2 and 4 and still didn't make the A ha!

[Rich D]

See you guys there :thumbsup:

[spenner]

I will be there!!!

Sadly not racing :(

[RudeTony]

I will be there!!!

Sadly not racing :(

But you will wrenching on a certain car - LOL

[chrispattinson]

Hopefully I won't repeat last year. Tq a round in both 2 and 4 and still didn't make the A ha!
... that must have taken some doing.......

I'll be there :thumbsup:

Thanks John, an additional question for those that don't get to use Turf Ripper much! Recommendations for inserts please?

PS - Both Chris and I will be there.....presumably at opposite ends of the spektrum! :thumbsup:

[Paul Field]

Hi All

With 5 days to go until the F2 Finals does anyone know if they have an entry yet?
Its a fair distance to travel (cost of fuel etc) without a proper confirmation of an entry.

Why can't entries be confirmed earlier in the year as it is based on last years grades.
This would give time to organise hotels etc.

Slightly puzzled:confused:

Good point, im just assuming im in, paid money and paid for hotel but not yet heard anything. Some more info would be appreciated fellas.

Thanks

[David Church]

Your regional rep should be able to tell you if you have entry.

I have heard the vet's have a large number of entries this year, 30+. Now it would be nice if we got 3 leg "A" final:D

[bigred5765]

ill be there Sunday supporting team Schumacher

[Smartalec]

I'm reliably informed that there are 37 entries for the vet class, far greater number than both the under 13 and under 16 classes put together so that should most certainly warrant a 3 legged A for the vets :thumbsup:

[Paul Field]

Our regional rep (Southwest) had not heard anything yesterday.

[spenner]

Thanks John, an additional question for those that don't get to use Turf Ripper much! Recommendations for inserts please?

PS - Both Chris and I will be there.....presumably at opposite ends of the spektrum! :thumbsup:


Personally i use the Answer RC Blue (medium) inserts in the fastrax tyres.

[Paul Field]

Just had confirmation of my 2wd entry from our Southwest Rep.
Just waiting for confirmation of my 4wd entry from the MidWest now.

See you all on Saturday i'm looking forward to it. As I had great time last year at Silverstone.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[CharlieF]

Hi Guys.
I have today given Regional reps the list of 10 names of those NON-F2/Vet/Jun entrants that have been unsuccessful. Reps will be getting in touch with these people asap. (It is easier to tell 10 people that they have been unsuccessful than to contact up to 120 drivers to tell them they are in!)

So anyone who is either a Junior, a Veteran or an F2 (2011 grade) are definately in the event. All F3 grades (2011 grade) who have entered are also placed.

I appreciate that confirmation at this stage is a little late however in mitigation the Euro's event last week made consulting all section officials difficult and although license grades are indeed 2011 grades we do have to await the outcome of your regional series for event seeding purposes.

I am pleased to confirm also that with the exception of one "vets" heat all heats in the senior classes are full.

[David Church]

Good job Charlie!!!

3 legged "A" finals for vet's??? It would appear this is a growing class and soon to be the bigger in the next few years:D

[CharlieF]

The planned time-table is for all A Finals to be 3 legs. HOWEVER, should anything go wrong with the weather or the Timing system etc to cause a delay we may be forced to go back on that decision on the day.
Certainly we intend trying to accommodate 3 leg A finals for all.

Surely the class with the least amount of entrants would be the first to be put back to single legged A finals though? :confused:

Many thanks for your time Charlie.

[CharlieF]

Hi Alex
Certainly not, as we have rules which say what we do for Juniors and F2's (ie 3 leg A finals where there are more than 10 entrants) but we do not have such rules for the Veteran class. The section committee received an internal proposal for 3 leg Vet A Final and in response to this it was agreed that an attempt to fit in a 3 leg Vet A final would be made but only on condition that if anything went wrong (causing program delay) we could revert to one leg for the Vet A.
Lets hope for the best.
Regards

[RudeTony]

doubt you would have won the vets anyway gaz theres way to many ace drivers:woot:

[crewie]

Are there any details on when we can arrive at the venue etc. Been looking but can't see anything.

[Paul Field]

Thanks Charlie

I understand now.

My 4wd entry has been confirmed :thumbsup:

[Varah]

Could any one tell me if there are any spaces left for the f2 class?
I would love to race if there are?
Thanks Matt varah

[CharlieF]

F2's -Full, Limited places in Veterans and Juniors only.
Regards

[Jonesy]

I'm not going so you all get a chance now :D


You wouldn't have affected the A Final anyway bud :thumbsup:

[PaulUpton]

Information regarding F2's this weekend

Camping will be allowed on the football pitch but cars must be parked in the access field
Limited caravan/camper van spots available message me to book a slot

Any other questions just ask

[Jonesy]

Hi Paul

Are there showers available in the club house?

Cheers bud

[PaulUpton]

There are but I will check if they can be used

[Tomk26B4]

Hi, I was just wondering what time the track opened and when racing is meant to start?

Thanks

[Jonesy]

Thanks


Usual National format I'm asuming so practice starts in Heat Order at 8am

[CharlieF]

Yes Jonesy is right and as mentioned in this thread it will be an extremely busy day so the timetable will be followed closely like booking in 0715 am to 0800am, 0800am one round of practice quickly followed by drivers briefing then Heat 1 on the line straight afterwards hopefully at about 0930/0945am.
Regards

[PaulUpton]

We are now full on caravan/camper spots, depending on size and space taken up with the pre books there may be space on the day but this isn't guaranteed.

The people we have are

Jacqui Rowcliffe x 2
Dave Crew
Andy Hicklin
Andrew Caunt
Colin Meikle
James Barker

This is unfortunate but due to our landlords requests we are not allowed any vehicles stationary on the football pitch for prolonged periods.

One round of practice, doesn't sound good

But 3 legged A finals for the Vet's is right :D

[wacattack]

What tyres are permitted for this event? Can we use those fastrax things that are supposed to be best here?

[David Church]

Um, yep. they are the chosen tyre. along with BB tyres:p

[David Church]

韦恩是一个阻碍，甚至和无法阅读报名表格，看到什么样的轮胎使用哈哈

Just get on with it Fox!

Charlie, I feel a "motivational speech" is required! You know what yo do!

it might be running in HD mode so try turning it off.

[reg]

could you let us know who ran what

[mikeyscott]

Anyone know the top 10 etc?

[JCJC]

How come YouTube is shite theses days? I can't even watch 30 secs without it stopping, can somebody put videos on other sharing sites or is it not possible?

I find it easy to use Freemake video downloader, then watch off line, the converter's a great tool as well, http://www.freemake.com/free_video_downloader/

Nice video Nick, thanks - looks a bit wet Sunday morning, rest of the day looks fine, seems to be easing off now. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[mikeyscott]

How has the racing been?

[highlander]

guys are the results posted anywhere...

[Tractor Boy]

Would n,t it be great if someone asked how the kids where getting on as they are the future of our great sport but there you go its the fast F2 that you all seem intrested in again.

[Skye]

Would n,t it be great if someone asked how the kids where getting on as they are the future of our great sport but there you go its the fast F2 that you all seem intrested in again.

This is natural isn't it? How many people watch Hamilton, Button and co in F1? And how many people watch kids in Go Kart racing?

How many people watch Man Utd play football? Then how many people watch Man Utd youth team?

People want to watch the spectacle of the best competing, unless you have a particular connection to someone from a lesser level or junior ranking then most of the focus is on those competing at the top level.

That's not taking anything away from the juniors, but it is just the way it is I am afraid. In a few years time today's juniors will be the stars if the F1s and F2s then they will have their time in the limelight! :thumbsup:

[KRob]

2wd winners (IIRC)

F2: Tony Truman
Vet: Andy Carter
U13: Jack Neal
U16: Ashley Caunt

Big Up the Gnarly Old Dog for winning the Vets.
Never have I seen someone win a race going so slowly :p

[GRIFF55]

Hahahaaa, he's going to love you!

Truman does the DOUBLE!! 4wd winner too:thumbsup:

so alan

how did the juniors get on.

[hazeandfizz]

Just wanted to say a big thank you to the Silverstone crew for a great weekend. I loved the track layouts and thought it handled the changing weather very well.

So F3,4,5's last year, F2's this year, National in 2012?

Also want to say what an amazing job Steve Ibbotson did this weekend, winning the 3rd A final leg with a car he had never driven before this morning and sticking a 2WD car he had not driven before in the A final in 2WD. Second overall in 4WD to Mr Truman is a bloody top effort:thumbsup:.

Thanks,
James.

Just wanted to give you some 'sizzle' Biscuits my ole buddy.

Great day yesterday - track was very tricky to keep in on 4 wheels for 5 minutes but a fantastic atmosphere all round.

big thank you to the club and the BRCA organisers - it was great to see Charlie, Stuart and Paul after such a long time and also - to Jacqui R who was looking after the Tiverton youngsters.

Big smiles on young faces was the best thing about the day yesterday - great stuff from the BRCA - thank you!

[dadtc3]

Well done to the mid east crew for winning the f2 finals and well done to the mid east u/13,u /16 and vets for coming second

[quarter throttle]

Had a fantastic weekends racing, would just like to thank everyone involved in making the meeting such a success, it was a lot of fun and the track was great, (once everyone got used to the insane grip level :woot:)

Congratulations to Jack Neil in the U13's. Also congratulations to Connor for winning the U16's in 4WD today and thanks for a few extremely close races across the whole weekend! :thumbsup:

Roll-on next year! ;)

Thanks to all involved with running the meeting. Competition was really tough but had a great weekend. Kudos to local hero Ibbo, impresive stuff.

Rich

[cmgreen]

Thanks 2 all at silverstone! Good track if alittle 2 bumpy at the end of the straight but still didnt stop me comming again for a second year!

Well done!

[spenner]

I would like to say thanks to all those who helped this weekend.

Storey, Ralph, Pupton (track is closed!!!), Scotty,Evdo, Poults, Ibbo, The Williams bro's and various others who i have forgotten. Think we managed to pull off another good event and people enjoyed themselves.
I am sure Mowen is gutted he couldn't have raced at his home track, maybe next year when we hold a national ???

Also well done to all the winners from each class, some great driving all weekend.

Lastly, big thanks to the BRCA team and CML Distribution. I think the juniors should be helped as much as possible at these meetings and CML have done just that this year.

Thanks

[reflexuk]

guys are the results posted anywhere...

this +1

[KRob]

Stuart will get the results up on the BRCA website when he can I'm sure.

In the meantime can anyone confirm the Sunday winners please?
I see Conner won the U16 and TT won the F2, but need to know the U13 (Jack again?) and Vet winners...

[GRIFF55]

I think springer won vets

[CharlieF]

Hi Keith
Jack Neal (Schumacher) won the U13's :thumbsup: having been kept extremely honest by a fast charging Callum Niblett (Durango) who won the second A final leg. Daniel Town (Durango) was third in all 3 A legs.

Alex Springer (Tamiya) retained his 4wd Vets title :thumbsup: from Phill Channon (Mat Dodd Special) who won the first A leg.
Regards
Charlie.

[KRob]

:wub

[AaronX6]

I had a great time at this event, well done to Connor and Ash, they were in a different league.
Still I managed a 5th in 2wd and a 3rd in 4wd, which has rounded off a good season for me.
Even better than that Schumacher have been in touch and I've signed my contract for a C team drive so a good week all round.
Some of the threads on this subject seem to indicate that the juniors should not have their shot in the lime light. We need to do more not less to promote the juniors,as there is a severe lack of juniors coming through. Don't forget we are the future of this sport. The world has changed and most of my mates would rather play the PS3 than start racing.
I have not got the solution but we need to encourage more juniors not less.

Huge thanks to Schumacher for promoting me as a junior and I will continue to try and get more mates involved.

AARON LEVEN
SCHUMACHER TEAM DRIVER :thumbsup:

[CharlieF]

Well said Aaron, I was going to point out earlier in the thread that at least 2 U16's and 1 U13 that I noticed put qualifying times in that would have put them A8 or above in the F2's.
Nothing wrong with "Junior" racing on that score!

[bigred5765]

well done arron, you drove great at the weekend mate,:)
we only turned up on sunday to help out, the whole meeting and track ran and looked great big well done to all involved

Nicely put Aaron.... Callum normally races 1/8th Nitro and there is no recognition for the U13 age group, as you will appreciate there is a big difference between being 11 (Callums age) and 17 when it comes to pace (although this is getting closer!) This was the first such event that we have been to and enjoyed it a lot... hope to see you next year!

Nibbo & Son

[reflexuk]

How much longer are we likely to have to wait to see results? I still want a look at my laptimes from the finals as they were never posted on the results board.

[big_whyman]

There is an access issue on BRCA.ORG. Hopefully that will sorted out tonight.
Results will be posted ASAP rest assured.
Final results were posted on the board both days, so if you didn't see them, someone took them away with them.

Stuart

[reflexuk]

Thanks for the update on the BRCA website, is that a reason why they couldn't be published elsewhere? Is it right that there are even videos on youtube before results are published? Two weeks have passed now, the results of the last round of the Schumacher BTCC series at Mendip last weekend were available to all by the Monday night 24hr later, along with full championship positions. Every laptime of every competitor for the whole season! That, and it isn't even a BRCA National lol

Personally, I like to return to my pit, after marshalling, via the timesheets. At this meeting even the relatively straightforward qualifying heats were not posted at this time. I could see them on the printer in race control. More than once when I offered to help by posting them on the wall I was told I couldn't.

I went to the results board on several occasions as the finals were playing out and never caught sight of any of the A finals on the wall. I imagine they were needed by the timekeeper to calculate the overall result after the third legs, I wouldn't agree that is a good enough reason not to post them though. It's very difficult for a competitor to check his finishing position and calculate what he needs to achieve in a future leg if they aren't posted.

All the single leg finals stayed on the board upto and after the trophy presentation, somebody must have been being particularly selfish if, as you suggest, they nicked off with them before the meeting ended. Sorry to disagre Stuart but this is how I saw it and how it affected me.

[spenner]

FYI

The results were posted on the board after races, I wasn't racing but helping out a young lad. Managed to see all results, the reason the results are held back is due to the following: they need to be checked and signed off, plus some may need changing.

Normal procedure in off road, probably why it is classed as the most successful section in the brca.
Stuart has said there was an issue with the brca website which has not allowed him to post them, this will be the only place they are posted.

C'mon stu it has been nearly a week now let's see where we finished... How did we survive without internet??

FYI

The results were posted on the board after races, I wasn't racing but helping out a young lad. Managed to see all results, the reason the results are held back is due to the following: they need to be checked and signed off, plus some may need changing.

Normal procedure in off road, probably why it is classed as the most successful section in the brca.
Stuart has said there was an issue with the brca website which has not allowed him to post them, this will be the only place they are posted.

C'mon stu it has been nearly a week now let's see where we finished... How did we survive without internet??

Thanks John.

FYI.
Just spent the last 2 hours working with the BRCA Webmaster to sort out the issues.
Results are now online (hopefully).

Enjoy.

Its probably my vids you have seen on the tube,its not really a case of me putting up the vids to see whose won what but more to promote my local club Silverstone + i have friends who sometimes ask if i can vid their finals.
If its the A-final of a big meet ...well thats just a bonus :)

Nope your not blind, they are not showing for some reason.
It might be something to do with the work being carried out in the background, but they are definitely loaded.
Hopefully they will show up later.
