National venues for 2013....
 

For people who attended this year, and those that are hoping to attend next year. What tracks would you like to see on the calendar ???

Assuming the venue's apply!!!!

Stotfold, preferably not first round!

Cobra in wales,or swansea.or any welsh club lol

It would be nice to see some differant clubs getting a national round next year i know Silverstone had a round this year and Southport never but next year Southport will probably be back on the national calender and another club will lose out for a year. I'd like to see 2 or 3 differant clubs that have'nt had a national before getting a round for next years national series theres enough good clubs around the uk to get 2 or 3 differant clubs on the national calender is'nt there ? Out of intrest how many clubs usually apply for a national each year ?

This is just my opinion and were ever they are i think it will be another cracking series :)

Southport
Kidderminster
Rhr astro
Silverstone
EPR
Oswestry

TORCH, think they showed at the LMR GP they could provide a great venue.

James.

Totally agree with that James!

Mine and Wesley's vote

TORCH gets my vote as well.:thumbsup:

+1 for torch

Batley
Southport
RHR (astro)
Silverstone
Oswestry
Stotfold

Torch & Herts

Silverstone
Kidderminster
Torch
Southport
EPR
Stotfold

F3/4 - Robin Hood
F2 - Coventry Astro

In that order........

RHR DIRT!

Why anyone wouldnt want RHR as a national venue is beyond me :wtf:

So many people tell me how much they love racing on clay so what do you think to RHR dirt if the weather is good leading up to the event or RHR astro if its potentially damp (actually the Dirty Weekend was slightly damp and the track was better i thought!) Dirt tyres on sale or return and/or if we hold a dirt meeting - proline challenge or oOple race shortly after a potential national to allow tyres to be sold on/reused etc..

why not?

one word answer......"perfect"

He said why anyone wouldn't want one

Because RHR Dirt is far better!

For me id like to see

Southport
Kidderminster
RHR Dirt
Silverstone
EPR
Osfest

oooppss miss read it:blush:

Interesting so far, keep them coming as i want an idea of what the drivers preferences are....

Keep them honest though, we can't have them all up north or darn south so....

To throw a few tracks in the mix that may apply, or look good enough to apply...

Torch
Boughton Raceway (Anglia way)
Holbeach (Eastrax)
Broxtowe (Like the F2's i guess)

Now then you two :p

RHR Dirt :D

Boughton Raceway for an EoS Final.

As this is a NATIONAL series it should be split into the whole of the uk.
So there should be 2 in Scotland / 2 in Northern Ireland / and 2 in England And don't forget Wales :p:p:p

Stotfold
Silverstone
Torch
Oswestry
Kidderminster
Talyrain :woot:

Southport
Coventry
Rhr
Broxtowe
Torch
Kidderminster

Oh if we're including the RB dirt and the tyres are sale and return if the weather is wet then:

Kidderminster
Torch
RB Dirt
Southport
EPR
Stotfold

F3/4 - Silverstone
F2 - Coventry Astro

National criteria??
 

Does anyone know if there is a criteria for holding a buggy national...? I know there used to be for TC

Such as;

Car park big enough for x amount of cars

Track big enough throughout

Overnight accommodation available

Food van a must. Etc etc

If there is that might rule a few clubs out

Some things to look at....

Track needs to be minimum of 3mtrs in width all the way round, lap time of around 23 sec min (for the top boys) anything under 21 sec is a no. Jumps etc should not obscure any parts of track.

Pitting area needs to be a min 1 acre, this is tight so no smaller really. Camping is nice, but is not a rule.
Race control - provide somewhere for the BRCA to run the meeting.
Rostrum that can see all parts of the track.
Members...... without these you will struggle to run a meeting of this size.
Toilets
Food and drink..

If you email Paul Worsley he does have a sheet of what is required to hold a national.

I'm sure RHR Dirt is a brill venue.
The only hang up I would have about it is that unless you live within a couple of hrs of it you prob won't want to travel 4+ hrs like I'd have to to get any practice on clay.
Gives a BIG advantage to those that can get there- as its the only dirt venue for 1/10 I know of.
At least on the astro track- we all can have a reasonable starting point as we all race on astro all year round.
Just thinking out loud ;)

Another one here for boughton

Keeep forgetting wales isnt part of the uk. Also sadly to say talywain has closed for a while.

I might be wrong, but thought that it's a minimum track length rather than minimum lap time? Around 140m around the racing line I believe? Although that number could very likely be wrong!

There is a minimum track length, but no good having 18sec laps when start is 2 sec between... First car will be past car 10 before he even starts.

hahaha...very good point! :)

Silverstone was pretty quick last year wasn't it.... :p
