MSV Team Trophy & Trackday Trophy 2014
Discussion
2014 dates for TT and TDT released today. Rockingham has been added this year and the Brands GP race is to be a combined TT and TDT race. At present there is no Cadwell for TDT, only TT however another race scheduled for June/July is yet to be announced.
I will be competing again in my VX220 in Team Trophy as a single driver and will also do some Trackday Trophy dates with a novice driver. We will start with the double header at Snetterton on 5/6th April.
Anyone else planning on competing?

I'm thinking about doing a couple of TT races alongside the CSCC Future Classics.
Are there many compulsory sponsor stickers required for the TT?
When you register for the series (£80 last year) you get a sticker pack, all of which have to be on the car. Last season there was a TT/TDT screen banner, two TT/TDT smaller stickers, two MSVR stickers, two MSV stickers and six sponsor stickers as well as class stickers on the sunstrip and rear screen.Are there many compulsory sponsor stickers required for the TT?

We've never received a confirmation. AFAIK if they accept your payment then you have a place. The races you have booked appear on your team page when you have logged in on the TT/TDT web site. If its on there then you're in.Really MSV, you can't send out confirmation any earlier...? stuff! needs to get organised you know...!

What is a bit much is that there is no entries list on the MSVR web site with only 3 days to go.

What happened in the Trackday Trophy on Saturday, you & the 968 were whipping everyone, then I saw you in the pits before the pitstop window opened, with the bonnet off..? I assume some sort of problem..?I will be competing again in my VX220 in Team Trophy as a single driver and will also do some Trackday Trophy dates with a novice driver.

Gear cable popped off and I was stuck in third. It happened on about the 4th lap just past the pit entrance so I had to do a whole lap before coming in. Lap timer showed 6 minutes for two laps and the pit stop when we were doing 2.20's so lost about 1m 20s. Went in P1, came out p14. Managed to get back up to P9 and then my mate went out and eventually got us to 5th and a third in class. Could have been worse.jj
We were in Team Trophy the next day also. I went out first, we were P10 when I came in and 4th in class. Second driver went out and was chasing a BMW in the same class and a backmarker in a misfiring Fiesta saw the BMW, pulled over, didnt see the VX and turned hard into its drivers side. Bent wishbones, damaged wheel, snapped steering arm, damaged front clam and door. Race over.
Repairs are ongoing and we'll be at Oulton Park to try again.

Congratulations!What you proved there is neat, tidy, consistent lapping along with staying out of trouble puts you right in with a shout.
Very well driven by both of you.
We're registered again, will be dusting off the Silver st for Rockingham, Oulton TT, Brands GP, and Cadwell TT. www.explodingfistracing.com
Again, superb drive chaps!
Yeah thanks for that, it was some good driving by both drivers, and some good luck from our side, and some unfortunate luck from other teams/cars that helped us along. We would never have beaten the VX220 & 968 as their lap times were far superior to ours. But I suppose as the old saying goes, 'to finish first, first you have to finish..!'.
We were both thrilled to have won!!
Looking at doing the Team Trophy at Silverstone, as it's full GP and 20 miles up the road from us, be rude not to really,
