HRDC 'TC65' - Donington Park - 28th July 2012

Post by Yorkie 'S' »

HRDC COYS INTERNATIONAL TROPHY MEETING - HRDC 'TC65' for pre-'66 historic Gp.2 touring cars

A late addition to the calender for Appendix K Minis, Julius seems to be putting his toe in the water of pre-66 Touring Cars again.

http://www.hrdc.eu/donington_park.html

At £495 for 85 minutes track time this seems good value for money.

I can't seem to make my mind up between this and the HSCC meeting at Croft - is anybody else considering the HRDC Donington meeting ? Was everyone aware of the HRDC meeting ?

Cheers,
Marc

HSCC 45 mins £270 = £6 / minute . HRDC = £5.82/minute

Croft it is for me

So it's make your mind up time Andy, got to have an eye to the future here, would like to think that Julius will be putting on a fully season next year at a price we can afford? See you at Donington?

I find an hour long race is too long for an Appendix K mini, they come in with over heated engines, brakes and worn out tyres. I much prefer two half hour races as the recent Brands mini festival, anyone else think the same?.

Um....no.
Now I've gotten used to 45-60 minute races, I've gotten greedy for it. A 20-25 minute race now seems to be over in a thrice :? And I really hate sharing the car but it is usually necessary, financially speaking :( .

Yup. Seems obvious to me but not to plenty of others

After packing up after 30 minutes I could have grounds for reappraising my position but it was just down to bad prep on my part TBH :oops: . 'Still prefer the longer races.
