Britcar24 2011
http://www.britcar24hr.co.uk/cms/news.php?item.1144
it's come around so quick again, so who is out to play for the 24.
above is a link to the provisional list which stands at 68 cars at present.
or if this is your first time out for this meeting, feel free to ask any queries you have, no doubt the answer will be out there somewhere.
as per usual, this is one of my highlights of the year, can't beat 3 days of sleep deprivation whilst being sober on a Saturday night and waking up to cars racing at silly 'o' clock....sweet

Who is the best person to get in contact with to let them know the times I can and can't marshal during the weekend? Would like to do a little bit of flagging, so Penny probably won't be the best bet, unless someone says otherwise!
Will try to be there for the Friday evening session, but can't do Saturday morning/early afternoon.

I'd suggest contact Roy Salsbury (BRSCC Midlands Chief Marshal).
Contact details:

Evening,
I'm considering marshaling for the weekend of the 24hr Britcar. Only done 3 events so far, all at my local circuit, will I be able to attend given I'm not a member of any club?
Cheers

Of course, the more the merrier.
The main reason for belonging to a club is for help with the upgrading process. You don't ever have to belong to the club organising the event (or indeed any club) to marshal any event.
Personally, I don't do sleep deprivation and I'm not that keen on endurance events... but I love the Britcar 24-hour and have done all so far.
Anyone considering this event... even if you can just do one shift, it all helps. I remember one year, racegypsy and one of our foreign friends (blueflagger or racerkeke) did the Saturday at Rockingham, came to Silverstone for an evening shift then back to Rockingham for the Sunday.
simon, just let chief marshal know your experience (Penny for incident or Roy, as above, for flags) and they will place you as appropriate.

as suggested, contact the chief marshal.
also, when you turn up on post, inform the post chief or i/o of the times you are available over the weekend.

Been to this race soooo many times now. Absolutely love it! First time marshalling it. I'm doing Friday and Sat with my better half braving all three days. What with this and the ILMC it's a proper enduro end to the year. Can't wait. Hope the MJC Ferrari and Jet Alliance Porsche will be back to do battle once more
EDIT: Just seen the entry list, yay!!!
And Chevron are back too. Hope they make more than a few corbers this time. It's a beauty of a car.

I'm down for this one. I was supposed to do last year but MRs Woolley was unwell so I didn't get there until 5:30 on Sunday and ruined everyone's night by arriving awake and excitable when they were all comatose and wanting quiet!
Hopefully this year I'll be able to manage the full experience because I loved the half a race I did see.

Will be there and I will be better organised this year, as I've already booked the hotel for Friday and Sunday nights.
Hope the Honda Jazz wins this year.
