Refuelling in the 24 Hour Race

[philip myatt]

it actually depends on the wording as to whether they are fully compliant, the devil is in the detail.

[Trevor Williams]

Funny, that.......

[Steve Panas]

 ;DOr is it? And another thing. But not both!

[Simon Crook]

if we get to use the Tuff Jug, does that mean we would take it to the pump to fill or would we still use the jerry can then fill the jug?

[philip myatt]

Don't worry about the detail, it won't be until 2011 that we may use it.
However, its unlikely that decanting petrol in the pits is acceptable.

[Mary Lindsay]

So jerry cans are OK for this year are they?

[philip myatt]

Yes, exactly the same as previous years.

[Chris Yates]

For interest, there's an "Alternative 6 hour" race, the week before the 24hr, and also held at Snetterton. Their notes on refuelling suggest that jerry cans are prohibited. I'm guessing this is specific regs for their series though.

Sorry for the added confusion!

I note that they have a maximum grid of 47 cars. It will be interesting to see how many they actually get.
