Its a one hour pit stop race, so you can have one or two drivers to share the cost. You'll need a national A licence as its in europe but thats only 6 signatures these days.. We've got everything from old Mg's to TVR Cerberas so it should be a blaast. more details on www.race-at-spa.com


any questions drop me a line.

[UH-Matt]

Also interested in Spa information..

Morning all,

This will be the second season in the MR2 Championship for me. I think me and my dad will be dropping our cars off on Saturday afternoon and then getting back to the track for early doors on Sunday (only live about 45mins from Brands)

Come and say hello, I'll be with the Rogue Motorsport guys

Hey Matt,

Firstly best of luck, I did my 1st ever competitive race a month ago & on the warm up lap, the heart was beating so fast & hard I thought it was going to jump out of my chest!! lol

I would love to pop down and give you some support and share in the experience. Am eyeing up the MR2 Championship for next season. So my advice is to win it this season as next year you'll be up against it!

What time does it all start & whats the best gate to come in at, to be close to the pits?

P.S. It'll be good to chat over a cuppa, as I've driven both the F430 & Scud

No, I'm racing my own Mk3. I think there will be 5 Mk3's racing all in all. Someone is hiring the Rogue Motorsport Mk3 though.

Come on over and say hello! We're a friendly bunch in the MR2 Paddock!

Edited to say my number is 88 and my dad is in 89

I'm aslo racing in the MR2 Championship and I'll be another newbie to racing, although given the number of us I won't be alone there.

I did the test day yesterday and it was the first time I had seen or driven the car (got to love an impulse purchase on Pistonheads)

Dan; car #92, I'll be down with the Rogue guys, come and say hello



(car is waiting for different wheels with new rubber to be fitted)

First impressions in the paddock are that its very friendly and people seem to be willing to help out with whatever they can.

[rallycross]

not racing in Mr2's this year but will be watching - good luck.
and that is a very impressive entry 50+ cars!

[UH-Matt]

blimey just spent about 8 hours fixing broken ignition cut off cable (Don't ask!)... but I am back in business and will be on my way to brands at 6am tomorrow!
