Speed Series 2024 Dates

[Nick Algar - Competition Secretary]

Please find below the 2024 Speed Series Calendar, it's taken quite a while to get to and there has been a lot of discussion about which events to go to as a Championship. We need to ensure that we get a reasonable number of our competitors attending any specific event for it to remain on the Calendar ie 5 or more competitors. For 2024, some events that didn't reach that have still been included, but they will be up for review at the end of the Year if we have a poor attendance. 

 

If you favourite event is not on here, then you should still be able to go as membership of WSCC and our Motorsport UK membership / affiliation with Regions means that you have a good chance of your entry being accepted by the Event Organisers. 

 

There is a PDF with the dates you can download.

Thanks Mark, hopefully a good year and some more Midland based dates. 

 

I think 2009 was very much a one off, the car unfortunately was written off in 2019 by the owner I sold to. Besides, your never as fast as you remember you were  

[Smudge62]

No Pembrey that's a shame

Unfortunately not supported enough over recent years.

 

If you want to go, then see my comments above about applying direct to the club. They are very unlikely to turn down entries. 

[Smudge62]

Yes thanks Nick I did read it, just thought I would comment on the fact it's not on the calendar, unfortunately I get the impression that a lot of competitors restrict there events to the area around where they live, ie the Midlands, and won't travel great distances to compete. Unfortunately I have no choice as I live on the south coast, where the ferry sails from to the Isle of Whight and so every event is a distance, Gurston is my nearest but next year I intend to go even further afield and enter Knockhill.

[Nick Algar - Competition Secretary]

It's one of the difficulties of running a National Championship. Hopefully we can see an increase in the number of competitors that gives us higher numbers at each event. But in your case more in the Midlands will hopefully help.

 

I saw your interested in Knockhill, it's a great track and somewhere you have to experience at least once 😉. Like Caldwell Park another personal favourite of mine. 

[Smudge62]

Yes Caldwell is on my list, another that will be new to me. Looking forward to next year.

i can also personally vouch for both Cadwell and Knockhill, both great tracks to drive - worth making the effort, I will certainly be at Cadwell - you just need to do those jobs on the car now, the event will be here before you know it!

[Richard Houlgate]

It would be good to know when Pembrey is but their website is still 2023, I had a tremendous run there this year until the oil cooler broke. Looks as we will be kept busy, the car is ready for action!

Thanks for your hard work Nick.

[Richard Houlgate]

Barbon is on the list too, we went on a Lea-Francis rally based near Kirby Stephen and I called in to walk the course, great setting and spectacular views. 600 miles in the LeaF without a breakdown!

Barbon is a new one and put in as whilst a short course is in a lovely part of the UK and could be good for us as a Club.
