What were the entries like, Anglesey seems an odd one to stop it at as its a relativly low cost circuit to hire compared to others.. Is is just the one round thats cancelled or more..

BARC Mids also cancelled their May Curborough Sprint and the August one is at risk of cancellation due to lack of entries. I suspect that lack of entries is the reason for the Anglesey cancellation too.

Sounds like it, I've heard of quite a few races being cancelled by various clubs due to low entries. its a difficult one As a racer I tend to put my entry in quite late as i want to make sure im ready and have the funds!!!, as a race organiser its nailbiting waiting for the entries to come in. They usually do right at the end, but many of the clubs seem to have taken the decision this year that they will not wait, if the break even point isnt reached a week or so before the closing date they'll cancel the event.


Places like Angelsey and Cadwell and croft also seem to suffer from the perception its a long way... WTF they are all fantastic circuits, and if your going to spend all that time building and prepping a car, and extra hour or so travelling and a few more gallons of diesel isnt really much more...

We (Max5 racing) had 6/7 drivers willing to attend several meetings so are now trying to get further track time sorted.

As above I usually put my entry in quite late.......

Probably not much help as you do/did have a race scheduled the same weekend, but your welcome to join us at Spa for a 1 hour on 1/2 october ( you would need to enter now) but could have your own class.

We've just had a race weekend cancelled with the Donny not enough race days debacle... a full grid too muppets
