The 2011 Matchmaking Thread

[Forter]

Hello

I m desperate to drive in 2011, so wanted to register early as for the last 2 years of wanting to do it I ve left it to late.  I have no 2CV race experience, but do hold my National B race licence and raced In Lotus Elise's previously but still a novice.  Several 100 hours of trackday expereince as well.

I would like to put forward a team, and race with a 2-3 colleagues.  However this would be car availability/cost dependant and if not sensible or viable for the other guys I d be seeking a sole seat for myself in a team if one was available.

Thank you James Melhuish

I currently have a team of 4 people that are interested in hire a car/team for the 24hr event. Could you let me know an idea of costs etc.

Many thanks

[Paul Robertson]

Somewhere between £6000 to £8000 for a managed car including entry , fuel dependent on what else is included(damage,cateringany extra testing etc).Now is the time to try and organise if you want a competive car .The later you leave it the better cars will be taken.

Am also looking for a competitve drive. Have raced the 2CV 24hr twice before with Stinky (2003) and a last minute entry in Christian Callandars car in 2009, always quick and consistent.
Also raced in 4 Britcar 24hr races and Nurburging 24Hr twice. 65kgs and 5'8".

[badgaroo]

We're currently looking for upto 2 drivers to join the team this year, anyone interested please email me clarehartgen@gmail.com and I'll answer any questions for you. Cost will be around £1500 subject to us getting a full 4 driver team.

Team Fine Print
Edd Straw of Autosport who's been driving with us for 8 years, has had to stand down this year. So we have a seat available for an experienced 2CV racer.
  The team has done the race for over 10 years and is well equipped. Strong mechanics team and pit crew, well tuned chassis, four engines, etc. Two years ago we were near fastest lap and finished 3rd. Cost is a heavily subsidised £1000 as one of four drivers.
  Call Martin on 07973 303982 to discuss.

Sorry, but the TFP drive has now been taken up by Mike Fox. His Asquith Bros engineering company designed and built the F Ford VITA in the 70's. And he's still quick!

Hello,

Myself and a friend are looking for a seat each in the 2CV 24 Hr race. It would be ideal to be in the same team but I realise it's probably a bit late / unlikely anyway. Separate teams OK - main thing is to have fun.
 
We both have quite a bit of experience in different cars and reasonable motor sport CVs. I did the race in 2008 (Crusader Vans). Came dead last but had great fun and was invited back by them for 2009 but been unable to make it since.

Anyone with seat(s) available please let me know - email to matthewsmithlondon@yahoo.co.uk

Many thanks
