Birkett 6 hour Relay Race

Well a rather lengthy delay in writing up the Brands race weekend. Nothing to do with it being a rather disappointing event points wise and more to do with concentrating on other activities. I actually had a really good time at Brands despite the dramas. In the last week I and a number of others have been trying to organise a team of RGB drivers to take part in the end of season Birkett relay race. The race takes part on Saturday 28th October at Silverstone, so after the final round on the championship. The race lasts for 6 hours and each team runs a relay of drivers in their own cars. We have submitted an entry for a team called "Posh 'n BECs" with 6 drivers, each running our own RGB cars, The 'Posh' part will be for Neil as he has a double barreled surname and not because he looks like Victoria Beckham and the BEC part is of course because we are running 'B'ike 'E'ngined 'C'ars !
Hopefully we have our application submitted in time as the event is normally well oversubscribed.
I have always liked the idea of endurance racing and this should be a really blast. We have a great team of drivers from a social point of view and as the results are based upon consistency handicaps around each driver/car combinations fastest lap of Silverstone you don't need to be the fastest drivers to do really well. If we can all run consistently and maybe improve upon our previous times at the circuit we could come out very well. Anyway its an opportunity to have some fun at the end of the season.
More later when we have confirmation and of course the details on the 2 races at Brands when I get a chance to write them up!
