Ok guys, so we are currently looking at releasing full information on the 2nd of January, this is to allow for the 60 odd drivers who have requested booking forms but not paid yet a chance to get on the confirmed list

All drivers who are booked in and paid up will get a drivers briefing via email on the 2nd and for those that miss that email, it will be posted on this thread. We did plan on releasing these driver emails earlier but we have held fire until everybody gets booked in.

We can confirm that RRCi crew will be covering the day for their magazine

More info to come very shortly guys, we currently have just over half of the 80 places filled so if you have been holding back...get in touch for your booking in form and payment details on [email protected]
