hey guys

does anyone know what the support races will be for the Le mans series at donington. planning to go there for sat/sun and then monday for the gold cup.(talking of which...really good planning by the msa/fia again...2 huge meetings on the sme weekend, only 45 minutes away from eachother...well done

)

jase · 16 Jul 2006, 11:17 (Ref:1657364)

I would imaging the Classic Endurance guys will be there, as to the others, I expect it'll be upto the organising club.

Have you checked on the LMS website

ascarracinguk · 16 Jul 2006, 13:23 (Ref:1657455)

hey yep ive tried the lms site, and barc, brscc and donington site....noone seems to know whats on!

Mark Mitchell · 16 Jul 2006, 20:19 (Ref:1657726)

You can get to Oulton From Donington in 45 minutes Adam?

chezza · 16 Jul 2006, 20:48 (Ref:1657751)

August Bank holiday is always one of the busiest weekends. I'm missing out on 750mc at silverstone to go to the gold cup.

Surely someone must know whats going on...

Mark Mitchell · 16 Jul 2006, 20:58 (Ref:1657762)

Yay! Chezza's coming to Oulton!!

The LMS site just says that support info will be published "In Due Time"
The "Support Races" page refers to 2005

I'm going to be a troll very briefly here, but only because it's relevent. When I had a moan about the Silverstone meeting last year I was firmly told by lots of people 'Well, you know what you're signing up for, if you don't like it, don't do it.' Here we are, only a few weeks away and we don't even know what's on, never mind what the timetable is. I fervently hope that lessons have been learned from last year and things will be a huge improvement, but if not, let's bear the current situation in mind.

And despite last year, if I wasn't on holiday I'd be there. I luuuurve Enduro Sports Cars.

Will you be marshalling or still doing your homework?

Alan Green · 17 Jul 2006, 23:18 (Ref:1658686)

47 Teams over 1000km / 6hrs sounds good enough to me. Don't care what else is on. 3x 1hr practices on Saturday, with a 20 min qualifying later in the afternoon (how busy is that going to be!!!!), a 20 min warm up Sunday morning, and a race start at about 1130/1200 for a 1730/1800 finish. Throw in a classic enduro and a modern euro saloon race each for Sunday morning and you have your race meeting.

If any of that is what actually happens I'll be impressed. Other than that wait for the tickets and passes, it's still over a month away.

i know there will be AT LEAST 36 le mans cars
probably between 20-30 classic le mans cars

Stack · 18 Jul 2006, 19:40 (Ref:1659388)

Anyone know if there is any 917's in the classic race?

jase · 18 Jul 2006, 21:14 (Ref:1659472)

There was one at Spa. A 917K I think, and in Gulf colours

gc1arke · 24 Jul 2006, 19:10 (Ref:1663583)

Hi,
Can anyone give me the details of who to contact in order to marshal at this event? There are five of us wanting to Incident marshal (or I may flag).

Thanks

Mike Kelly 1 · 24 Jul 2006, 19:29 (Ref:1663596)

Try Diane Hardy who runs the Donington ES team, diane@esteam.freeserve.co.uk
