TonyR Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 BB Does anyone have any info about track layout etc. at Longcross. TonyR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardO Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Longcross (april layout) - as I remember it goes like this: Start straight; probably about 1/4 mile and dead level. (water splash near the end if it's been raining) 90 degree right immediately into >90 degree left (big puddles if raining!) Now going slightly uphill into sweeping right (this bit is the start of "the snake" - through the trees so don't fall off) Open left Huge sweeping right which seems to go on forever Big drop downhill - quite easy to get airborne here... even I have Immediate open left on landing Open right, about 90 degrees Slight left (out of the snake now) Hairpin left by pits area (spin here and everyone sees you) Banked track section sweeping left (right foot down and hold on) "Bus top" Chicane at end of banked section Almost straight blast to finish line. Total run time about 2 minutes (dry) or 2.5 (wet)in my 115bhp K Longcross allow a course walk and do a two lap convoy though, so plenty of time to check my memory R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickaddison Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I have Longcross in-car with Adam Hay 😬 Hmm, should I keep that to myself or put it on the DVD? Scream if you wanna go faster! Caterham FireBlade NJA509 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikes Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Graham, Fantastic organisation (creep, creep..) but I have a couple of requests: 1. It so happens that the Longcross date (fantastic - somewhere within a couple of hours of home )is one that falls on the same day that takes me even further into the SAGA Sevens (ie my birthday) so I want you to instruct all the other people in my class (whatever that is!!) to let me win 😬 2. On checking the dates it looks like LeMans 2005 is over the w/e18th/19th June. If I am right, can you please try and make MIRA the 25th June? Mind you, as I always seem to have done badly there it really doesn't matter if I do it or not. See you at BH on Sat I hope. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted October 4, 2004 Area Representative Share Posted October 4, 2004 Graham, If you have the choice, I would also prefere MIRA to be scheduled for the 25th June. I'm scheduled to work the previous weekend. Infact, I'm scheduled to work over both Curborough weekends, and the only events I can definately enter are Llandow,"Midlands venue?", Loton Park and Aintree ☹️ ☹️ (unless you can swing MIRA to the 25th please,please *smile*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 Mike & Richard Unfortunately I am in MIRA's hands when it comes to dates for next year, I will see if they will make it the 25th but cannot guarentee anything 😬 😬 😬 Graham Competition Secretary 2005 Speed Championship - 12 Events and Growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver 21 Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Just had Harewood say they cannot do the 7th August as they already have the grads there on that day and feel the day would be dominated with Caterhams. The only other date that fits is Sun 17th September , The week after Wiscombe, I feel this would be too much for some people, or we go for the 27th March as the first event of the season, a bit early cold and wet for a lot of people!!

Silver 21 Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Dave As you are aware I cannot guarentee that all entries will be accepted, thats the way it goes with invited events. I would think we would be looking at 25 - 30 entries as a max, which is all we had at Wiscombe this year.

Jason Plato Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I didnt realise you couldnt guarentee entries , I thought that only applied to the "peak season" events . C7 TOPhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Dave At most invited events its on a purely first come first served basis, only at selected venues do they pick and choose, the ones that spring to mind are: Prescott, Shelsley, Loton and possibly Harewood as these venues are usually oversubscribed at every event. The sad fact is that there are not enough venues that people want to compete at to cope with the amount of people competing and the situation can only get worse not better ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ Graham Competition Secretary 2005 Speed Championship - 12 Events and Growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
