Is there a combined entry fee for the two races (sprint and enduro), or is it the sum of the two prices on the entry form?

Andy Craig-Smith · September 09, 2005, 10:21:25

Yes,
If you look on the entry form, the first line below the race lists / fee states:-

Competitors entering two separate events listed above (with the same car) will be charged £100.00 for the second or lower priced entry.

This is on all enrty forms !!!!

So the Endro is £360 + Sprint £100 = £460 for both races. Ouch ! :shock:

I'd better phone on Monday and ask for a partial refund then. Thanks Andy.

For those people who have entered all sprint races this year you can get more discounts.

The BARC loyalty scheme offers £165 off the sprint race (there should have been a form in with your entry pack when you registered for the championship).

Then you've got the second race discount. I've tried to work out the maths and it doesn't make sense, but Richard rang the BARC and they said take £100 off the remaining costs. That means £20 off the sprint, making that free, and £80 off the enduro, making that £280 (Total cost for sprint + enduro = £280). Ultimately they said just enter and they'll sort the fees out later!

The morale of this story - don't let the BARC take more money than they should! :wink:

Richard hollis · September 12, 2005, 12:29:33

Yeah might have got that wrong. Try these sums i think they add up now!

I spoke to the BARC and they said if you have done all the rounds you are entitled to the £165 loyalty bonus making the sprint £20 at silverstone. However because the sprint is the lower priced race and the entry form states that this should be £100 (if doing the enduro in the same car) you are entitled to an £85 pound saving. Therefore knock this off the remaining entrance fee eg. £360 + £20 - £85 = £295. Crystal clear. Richard

Derek Coghill · September 16, 2005, 18:38:21

I haven't done enough races to get the loyalty bonus. I did, however, get the entry list in the post today - there must be more than six cars entered?

Trevor Williams · September 26, 2005, 12:49:37

At the moment we have 18 cars entered for the sprint races at Silverstone, with a couple more for the enduro.

PLEASE if you have only entered the enduro can you consider doing the sprint as well, it will only cost you £100 if you have entered the enduro.

It would REALLY help the club with average grid numbers if we could get 20 or more entries for the sprint

Cheers

Does Silverstone have a noise limit? I was very noisey at Oulton but was allowed out and have not change the silencer yet (nor done any racing in the car for that matter....)

Chris Yates · September 27, 2005, 11:29:06

Why not enter anyway Francis? I'm sure something can be sorted out on the day if you are too noisy, but I don't think Silverstone have ever been too concerned over noise - they have those noisy overpriced single seaters ever year after all :D

Francis Rottenburg · September 28, 2005, 09:30:57

Thanks Chris, I ordered a mini silencer anyway and hope it turns up before the weekend.

Entries for 'stone are up to 24 for Sprint and similar for enduro.

Bob Rice · September 30, 2005, 09:38:39

I've never yet been noise tested at Silverstone, whilst racing (twice already this year) or on track days.

Chris Yates · October 02, 2005, 23:47:35

Well, what a couple of races!

For anyone that didn't see, the Yellow Peril had a bit of a roll. Neil Savage was ok after the accident, but a bit shaken. The car needs a re-shell, and probably a new chassis too.

Chris, were you planning to send the pictures in so that they could be shown on the Club's web site?

Simon Leith · October 05, 2005, 09:07:03

Only my second experience of 2cv racing and what another great weekend. Really enjoyed the qualifying and the race and once again the people were fantastic. another great experience.
