Sprint at Longcross test track(Chobham, Surrey)--11th July

[christian.v]

Sutton and Cheam Club are holding a sprint at the above track on the day after Loton.

Entry sec is Pam Guess on 01252 727390.

There is a class for 7s as roadgoing cars, but they must have a windscreen--no aeros and run 1a tyres-classes 7 and 8.

There is also one running as a modified production sports-class10-poss not aimed at caterhams.

And a class for others-class 12-most likely for all those that can't be ars*d to change screens, tyres etc.

It's a really good track--2.2 miles through a park type setting starting on a banked track section and using the famous 'snake' , so it's fast!

From what I've heard it's a belter of a course.

'Belter of a course'.....good - I'll be there!

 

Woolly: Cheers for forms

 

After a hi-vis (pocketted side) driver's door if anyone's got one?

[RichardO]

Yep it's a great course. It uses most of the MOD vehicle test track, so has just about every type of bend you can think of, including a the very twisty 'snake' and a section of banked track.

 

S&C run two sprint events a year there - April & June. The one in april was a bit damp (= horizontal rain and 3 inches of standing water at the end of the start straight), so you should be due some good weather for this one!

 

At the April round I got a 2nd place and a really cool picture of the 7 going through a water splash.

 

I'd be there to defend my soggy position, but it clashes with a grads race ☹️. And I'm not sure I'd do so well in the dry!

Rob; they're not usually oversubscribed. I think the capacity is about 120 and there were less than 100 at the April event. I did one there last year where we had an extra run cos the entry was low.

I may have a word with BB

Don't do that - I'll never get another trophy if the entire club turns up!! 😳

I have Silverstone GP tickets so can't go, but have been to the last three events at this track, and it is certainly the most challenging sprint course I have been too.

 

Highly recommended and laways well organised. Have a pic of my car in the snake last year with front wheels off the ground going over the hill.

Hope this helps
