GRRC Spring Sprint - Easter Monday

[jgoodwood]

The usual yearly heads-up about our GRRC Sprint Sprint. All are welcome to spectate and the usual luxurious area for GRRC Members will be available to all those sporting their 2013 badge. Nearly 90 cars entered this year with all classes very well represented. Highlights will no-doubt include 3 x original Cobras, Jacky Ickx's Ex-Le Mans BMW CSL Batmobile resplendant in Jaegermeister livery, a GT40, a few Porsches, Nissan GTRs, classic Mini copper race cars (one being driven by a Saturday morning chef). Practice starts at 9am and we expect timed runs to start at around 11. Lunch break from 12.30 - 13.30 and priize-giving at 17.00. Oh - and it's free to get in and watch - Hope to see you here...

P.S. It's at the motor circuit by the way...

Depends when you arrive and what the weather's like.. either in chicane paddock, old control tower car park or car park D.. Just drive to the circuit and the marshals will direct you.

Cheers,

Thanks Stephen.. will be good to see you back! Looking at it that way - the line-up is pretty good isn't it! Should be a cracker...

Badges arrived yesterday. Now the big decision is to go in the old metal or the new metal. If the weather is dry, might give the old girl a run down.

[L100NYY]

I'll be there spectating in either the MGB or Exige, looking forward to it as not been able to make the last couple
