ian crocker Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Sprint venues in the southeast have been dwindling for some time. Premier circuits like Brands, Thruxton, Cadwell etc haven't been used much for years as they are so expensive. However these venues are available but at a cost. In order to help motor clubs decide whether these circuits are a viable proposition please take part in this poll. What I am asking is "what do you feel is the most you would likely pay for a sprint in the conventional format (1 or 2 pratcice runs and 2 timed runs) at a venue like those mentioned." This forum doesn't seem to have a 'poll' facility so please just reply in this thread. Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxseven Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 around £75 - £80 L7 BDA Supersprint Joy here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 £75-80 sounds about right to me too. Although I am aware that Goodwood is more like £90-95 these days and we still pay it (for just 1 practice run and 2 timed runs)! Hmm, actually your question wasn't "what do you think is about right" but "what's the most you would pay" - I think it has to be less than £100. A sprint at Cadwell would be fantastic (as long as it's a whole lap of the full circuit!). Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 if it was at a 'premier' circuit and youhad use of facilities such as garages etc then up to 100 quid the most I paid last year was I think 80 quid for harewood, but it was a round of the national champs cadwell would be amazing rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I would be happy to pay around £80 to compete at one of these venues. Mark D Su77on Se7ens Considering my options for 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Ian, Max of £80, less if I have to travel. Thanks for asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Kipper Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 75-80 for me as well. Kipper Fun is not a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanB Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 £80 sounds about right, but I'd pay up to 100 for Goodwood, Thruxton, etc. I would really like to join the series but there is only one event within realistic driving distance of where I live - I don't have a trailer. Is there any realistic chance of getting more events in the S of England? Edited by - AlanB on 16 Jan 2005 18:21:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david nelson Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 £80 max for a class 1 venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Rich_Bernie Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 £100 for Brands or Thruxton, £80 for Lydden. Not sure about Cadwell since its a long haul for me. Ian - What are 7oaks planning for 2005? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Williams Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Up to £100 for a 'premier' venue sounds like a maximum to me. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian crocker Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Jonathan, Sevenoaks and Borough 19 are going to co-promote a sprint at Snetterton on May 7th as one of these 'new' venues. Each club is also running other events but further circuits are under investigation. Rgds, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 £80 is about tops for me. Cadwell would be awesome though! How about it for 06 BB? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 750 MC fee for 15 mins race and 15 mins qualifying last year was about £150- 160 - that's about 30 fast laps. £100 for 3 - 6 laps sounds a h3ll of a lot! G for Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
