FDMC Dimanche Sprint – 15th April


Last year a few IOWCC members competed in the Dimanche sprint, held at Rushmoor Arena near Aldershot, ran by the Farnborough District Motor Club. They all had an excellent time and I know there are a few members who will be going up again this year!

The event is on Sunday the 15th of April, and is open to any fully registered IOWCC member.

The Reg’s and Entry form is available to download here – ftp://ftp0.bull.co.uk/incoming/sentry/tesco/CISCO%20SIMON/DimancheSprintRegs2012.pdf

To see what its all about there is also an event report from last year here-

http://www.farnboroughdmc.org.uk/dim2011repa.php

There are a few requirements to compete in a sprint, in brief these are:

  • MSA National B non Race Licence (£50)
  • FIA approved Helmet, gloves and Overalls
  • IOWCC Membership
  • Road legal and insured car

If you are interested and wish to find out more please contact us or FDMC.

If you want to be in on the action but can’t compete unfortunately this is a non spectator event, therefore the best thing to do is to offer your services as a Marshall, to do so please contact the lady below.

News!

Marshall training evening.

With the clock ticking to the start of the season we have arranged a social event at the Camp hill Prison club on Wednesday 21st March at 8pm. This will be a great opportunity to catch up with your fellow competitors and refresh your minds on what your club needs from you when its your turn to Marshall! Safety at our events is imperative and we feel everyone would benefit from a quick reminder of all the simple things that help run our events as smoothly and safely as possible. If you can, please pop in for a quick pint, sign on and say hi!

Advanced Sign on

We would like to urge as many of our members as possible from the past season wishing to renew their membership for 2012 to do so online through the clubs website. Everyone wishing to compete at the first event will need to be a registered season or day member before we can get going. Therefore the more people who do this in advance the sooner we can start, giving you all as much driving time as possible. If you can’t sign on online, you will be able to at the Marshall training evening mentioned above.

Reg’s Update

There have been some questions relating to the class regulations we issued on the last email round. Effective from Round 1 the now amended Reg’s are available to see on the clubs website. – http://iowcc.co.uk/regulations/regulations-2/
