Banned is a strong word, just not a viable solution is more the case. on Race days we cannot have fan heaters, not just because they cost 50p an hour to run which is nearly as much as your race fees, but with 150 racers, if just 10 people bought 2.5kw fan heaters that's 25000W!!! Stick 10 on at home and watch what happens. The electrics just can't cope. Besides we will happily burn £500 of Gas over the weekend through 4 Jet burners so you won't need fan heaters on Race day.
For practice days we invite people to bring Halogen Heaters, up to 800W but if we get more than 10 people then we stick a Gas Burner or two on. However the weather forcast over the Petit is now 11C and dry. last time many of you were here it was -6C so a huge difference. :-)
