Title: Tell all your family, friends and contacts to follow the 24hr
Post by: Martin Harrold on August 23, 2011, 23:26:46
The 21st running of our unique and legendary 2CV 24hr Race is now just a couple of days away.

Over the past months, lots of people have been working quietly in the background to make it happen. We've got the biggest entry for many years and in all sorts of ways, this years race promises to be a great event.

In the past two years, one of those people, club member Chris Yates, has experimented with producing a live webcast of the continuous commentary along with live video from cameras in the pit lane and in-car. All along, he's worked on the thinnest of shoestrings and applied amazing technical skill, innovation and effort to the task. This year, he hopes that he has resolved many of the issues encountered in the early years and, fingers crossed, the webcast is set to be very impressive.

So, before you pack your kit and set off for Snetterton, take a few minutes to email all your family, friends and contacts. Tell them that they can follow the race live on the web. Tell them to go to www.2cvracing.co.uk and take a look after 4.45 on Saturday afternoon. They already know that you are just a little bit nutty to even be involved in 2CV racing. Now you can give them the chance to listen and look at what you do.

The more people we can encourage to follow the race, the stonger it will become.

And when you are at the circuit, the guys in the commentary box at the very top of the stairs, Alan Hyde, Charlie Butler-Henderson, Lewis Beales and Jon Waldock will be very pleased to have you pop in and tell them all about your adventures on and near the track during the race. You'll find the combined radio/web production office and the new 2CV Club Hub in what is normally the Stewards Room. Thank you BARC / John Felix for letting us use it. Turn right halfway up the stairs, in towards Race Control, then it's first door on the left.

It's your race - tell everyone you can think of to follow it on the web.
