Thanks!!
What's attracting you to the French Trophy? Just being more competitive? You'll still have to contend with the 306s.
Are they allowing sequential boxes do you know - the regs seem even freer than the tin tops.

Hi Mark - that's about it, more competitive. Not just making up the numbers - yes there will be 306's, there will always be something quicker. Just, hopefully, not so many of them.....and at the moment the regs are as open as they can be to get people interested.
Been told no to sequential boxes (unless 20 sign up for the first race), reading their other series regs I wouldn't get a look in, or would have to run in the GT 3000 (I think it's that) class -no lower weight and no power restrictions...Once they have a fair amount of runners the regs will be written over the coming year and implemented for next year, hopefully to suit all that's running.
Saying that I expect to have to make some changes (weight probably) as they seem keen on around 1050kg min weights bit lower for some classes.
At the moment there is one signed up runner and 20 or so like me, sitting on the fence dithering. I've just emailed the series coordinator and will await his reply before I commit - now the cup is ready and I can bring stuff forward if need be.
We won't get our own track time until the 3rd or 4th race - no one wants to see 3 -5 cars go round on their own....or 1 even lol.
Who knows'?

Still on the fence myself too - was told yesterday there'd be an update on their forum - seen nothing yet and the Coordinator won't tell me how many people have so far registered. Just the "if everyone who had asked this question signed up we'd have a full grid".
Going to make a decision by the end of the week as need to plan accordingly ...

And bit of a sad update to the hp count - bought this today.
After 10 years of walking behind a 21" mower for 3hrs a week and having better things to do with my time, plus with this I'll probably never have to cut the grass again. New driver sorted - Harry maybe Scarlett too on the stratight bits.

Still thinking of doing Rockingham, just to be different.
Got another message saying Snetterton might not happen....no one wants to commit. Oh well....was a good idea, maybe not many people spreading the word and too many similar series running to compete with.
that looks like fun...there was one for sale on eBay when I was looking for a mower...it's a very serious game....

Pete, it's only Snett they've pulled.
The more I think about it, the more I want to do Rockingham.

Just read Steve's reply to my post - hadn't seen that until now. Though Rockingham is the week before the CSCC Snett race and can't do both - you don't want to do Snett I know. Ive posted that i'll send my forms off tomorrow and if they do cancel it to give as much notice as poss...as it's only 4 weeks away....
Well Rockingham is now the series start
We'll register and start there....this is now our plan......(the CSCC TT's race at Snett is on the 200 circuit, just like the old oval)

Great stuff Pete I hope it all goes well and I will try and come along to watch/help at Rockingham
Cheers James, all this dithering around was\has been a bit of a pain but needed to come off the fence, do something and choose a direction.
Be good to see you if you can make it.

Lol, we all jumping ship now then?
Who told you???......you can drive my new mower.
182cup & 172 racecar
Who me?
Yes, you sir, you're the only qualified mower driver I know...
182cup & 172 racecar
Lol,true.
And Rockingham is 20 mins away from me - forgot that...
LOL...check out my sig on the TARC forum....
I have been hearing about it since October and it sounds very interesting but I need a complete car before deciding what I'm doing for the season
Doubt it, really enjoyed the races last season and like the chaps we raced with so I imagine I will stick with the Tintops for 2013
Busy 30mins earlier,
Cancelled the 17th March track day at Snetterton
Booked test day at Rockingham for 7th March - same circuit as the race in April too.. circuit B in the MSA blue book.
Filled in forms to register for the French Trophy series and race application for Rockingham.
sorted...
Had a M14 x1.5 wheel nut arrive today, will grind the angled bit off so it's flat, drill some holes for locking wire and will screw it on my top mount and lock wire it in place ..if it looks\goes OK i'll get another one and do the same to the other side.

To answer your question, yes that's the BTCC layout. Turn 1 must be a bum clencher in the wet.
No lifting now Pete

Better than 165 for 55 minutes at Thruxton then lol.

Oh yes. In the X85 I was flat in 6th.
Brake when your wing mirror touches the wall.
Got an email from the French Trophy Coordinator, Steve Vince, series registration and race entry for Rockingham received and acknowledged for Sam and I.
