• MSA Steward: TBC

• Chief Scrutineer: Mr. David Glover

 

BEFORE THE EVENT

• If you have not already competed a Championship commentary sheet then please complete the attached commentary sheet and make sure you bring it with you on the day in order to prevent our commentator inventing "facts" about you!

 

ARRIVAL

• CAMPING will be available at Curborough on both the Friday evening, and Saturday evening. The ESV with awning, tables, chairs and a BBQ with fuel and tools will be provided - please bring your own food and liquid refreshments.

• It would help if you let us know when you are intending to arrive if coming on Friday the 15th. to enable us to arrange for the circuit to be open (otherwise it will be locked and you will not be able to gain access!) Please telephone 07920 843146 before 3 p.m. on Friday 14th.

• Park neatly occupying the minimum of paddock space and please park any non-competing vehicle trailer in a sensible location

 

SIGNING-ON

• Opens at 8 a.m. for car numbers 1-30 and dual drivers.

• Opens at 8.45 a.m. for car numbers 31-60.

• Opens at 9.30 a.m. for car numbers above 60

• You must present your L7C membership card, MSA licence (otherwise a MSA fine has to be levied !!) and MSA official log book (If the car is currently licensed for use on the road and competing in a road legal condition OR if it is currently used in circuit racing and is entered in an event on an occasional basis only this is NOT needed. Please bring documentary proof of circuit racing e.g. a recent race programme).

• Completed commentary sheet must be handed in too.

• Upgrade card – complete with photo and signature if you wish to gain a licence upgrade signature.

• Any driver not signing on by 10.30 a.m. may be excluded.

SCRUTINEERING

• Starts at 8 a.m. for car numbers 1-30, continues at 8.45 a.m. for car numbers 31-60 and continues at 9.30 a.m. for car numbers above 60.

• Only cars passed by the scrutineer, with competition numbers in place will be allowed to practice.

 

NUMBERS

• No vehicle will be permitted to use the circuit without displaying the correct self-adhesive competition numbers on both sides of the car. These numbers will not be provided by the organisers.

• Dual drives must remember to obscure the appropriate number before approaching the start line (a strip of insulating or tank tape will suffice). The “low” numbered car will run first with the second “higher” number running at the end of the Class or later if the driver change over takes longer. No cars will be allowed to jump the queue to gain an unfair advantage by using warm tyres.

 

 

WALKING THE COURSE

• The course can be walked by competitors who are not familiar with it until 8:45 a.m.

 

DRIVERS BRIEFING

• A short briefing for drivers new to sprinting and/or those who have not competed at Curborough will be held adjacent to the signing-on hut at 8.30 a.m.

PRACTICE

• Practice will start at 9.00 a.m. prompt and will be run in class and number order.

• Please help us to keep the event running smoothly by being aware of and ready for your sessions and listening for any announcements and by co-operating with the marshals. Due to noise restrictions the Public address system may only be used to call the first cars to the line for the morning practice runs. Please watch for your number sequence moving towards the collecting area and present yourself when appropriate. Cars should move to the collecting area at the new return road then proceed to the starting area.

 

STARTING PROCEDURE

• Approach the start line where a red light will show.

• The car will be positioned on the line by the start Marshal.

• When the red light turns green you may start in your own time.

 

FLAGS

• If a red flag is displayed, you should come to a standstill as soon as practicable and await further instructions from the marshals. On completion of your run do not stop immediately after the finish line as the next competitor cannot start his run until you are safely off the course. You must proceed back to the bottom loop (start line area).

 

FIRST TIMED RUNS

• First timed runs will start at 1 p.m or earlier where possible.

 

SAFETY ON SITE

• Should you have to refuel in the paddock you are particularly asked to carry out this procedure in an open space with no smoking or working going on in the vicinity. We also remind you regarding the general safety of mechanics and competitors when working on their vehicles in the paddock particularly when the vehicles are jacked up or on axle stands.

• Children are welcome but YOU must be responsible for their behaviour and safety. Please consider whether their attendance is appropriate.

• An ambulance with trained personnel will be available on the day and a Paramedic will be in attendance.

 

VEHICLE SAFETY

As a participant in this driving event, you are responsible for the preparation of your car. If you are unsure of its condition it should be checked by a competent mechanic prior to the event. A quick check at the track is not a substitute for a thorough inspection of your car. Any car found improperly prepared will not be permitted to participate.

 

FUEL

Will not be available on site.

 

ROLL OVER BARS

Your attention is specially brought to item 9 of the supplementary regulations as reprinted below

All cars MUST be fitted with a Safety Roll-Over Structure - Competitor Safety [C©].

You are advised that the traditional standard Caterham rollover bar does not meet these requirements. Any car fitted with the traditional standard rollover bar that arrives at an event will not be allowed to compete. If using an FIA bar the petty strut must be fitted.

 

TYRES AND CLASS ELIGIBILITY

It is important to ensure that the tyres which you use on the day are acceptable for the class which you have entered. Please re-read the section in the supplementary regulations which relates to your chosen class and verify that your tyres are correct for that class. If you are still unsure please contact Competition Secretary Simon Rogers and he will be pleased to advise.

 

WINDSCREENS

All cars must run with a windscreen – see Competitors (C(b)26.h), which can be off the “aero” type or plastic if required.

 

NOISE TESTING

• Curborough is still experiencing difficulty with local residents complaining about noise. At this meeting all cars will be noise tested at some point during the day (The majority will be tested in the collecting area). You will be told when you are required for this test.

• The current requirements - see Competitors (C(b)24) is for no more than 108dB(A) at 2/3 maximum RPM at 0.5m at 45deg with the exhaust outlet. Most Sevens should not have problems with this test, which is less severe than race circuit requirements but you are advised that your silencer should be in good condition.

• Please avoid running cars and the creation of any unnecessary noise during the lunch break if possible and when entering or leaving the circuit.

 

 

DON’T FORGET!

• Crash helmet and fireproof overalls and gloves (MSA approved - please check standards in the Blue Book).

• Timing strut.

• Fuel (not available on site).

• Self Adhesive Competition Numbers (Your number is on the enclosed entry list). Please remember that numbers MUST be removed at the finish of the event - Sprints, Hillclimbs and Drag Racing (I.30)
