Club racing around Bristol - any class of RC
 
I'll be moving down to Bristol in the next couple of months, so can anyone tell me of any good, regular club racing in that part of the world?

The closest thing I have found so far seems to be Chippenham.

Ideally I'd like electric indoor racing, preferably touring cars or buggy, although 12th or micro could be a possibilty. I'll even go nitro if I have to! Weekends will be a lot easier than midweek.

there isnt anything for 10th buggies, the nearest for 10th is probably Caldicot, about 45 mins from Bristol and a great club
Weston Super Mare cater for micros, thats about 20-30 mins from bristol
Caldicot race on Friday nights, start about 7:30 and Weston I think is every other Tuesday night ????

wow no club in brizzle I'm shocked

No club in Bristol or Gloucester (well there is a club on a Friday night in Gloucester but it's a very small track, too small for buggies ... I race MO3 there)

This is a racing dead zone, no shops to speak of either!!!

Belsten Caldicot aint 45 mins from brizzle. i get there in around 25 on a friday night :) and there you can race 10th buggies and micros and the tracks are amazing, deffinately give it a look on night.

Belsten 12-02-2009 08:26 AM

ok 30-40 mins depending on what warp speed youre doing and where in Bristol you live :p

can't recommend caldicot highly enough. taught me how to jump :)

I'll be back there soon (as soon as I can finish building the sodding durga!)

There is Swindon & Newbury area if you can stand a run up the M4, busy motorway.

Yup Caldicot is a goodun!
If your looking at running micros we race in Weston as Belsten said - www.worm-racing.co.uk

there's prime opurtunity to buy a warehouse set up a decent multi class track and a shop would be a big investment though esp in the current climate.

deffo would make a small loss or just about break even for a while

Dave, sorry mate but when I last went to Weston it catered for all including nitro. They did have an off road grass track, with jumps and was fun, and possibly still do. I will try and get hold of Tim and will update if its still there.

Caldicot is still up there as one of the best clubs in the country I have been to and has been going as long as I have been racing. Great people, great racers and great fun.
