2cv 24Hr Snetterton 2007

Terry Scannell · 25 Nov 2006, 21:03 (Ref:1774901)

As a reminder to everyone, prior to filling in all those soon to be received availability forms, that the fun packed 2cv 24Hr race at Snetterton will be held on the 27th 28th May 2007. As Dave W mentioned in another thread this is one weekend not to miss!

The weekend will be supported once again by Stingray Media and will also feature PistonFest 2007, for all the custom and supercar fans. I am informed by the 2cv Club that it will be a bigger event than in previous years.

There will also be the usual pre-event get together / party / foodfest with the drivers/teams and marshals and the camarderie thoughout the weekend is always superb.

For those that may not have marshalled at this event in the past click on the following link for a preview of the 2007 event;

Hope to see you there!

Right thats one weekend booked, although not sure if marshaling or whether i will be required for other duties yet!!

MikeHoyer · 26 Nov 2006, 00:36 (Ref:1774980)

Won't be marshalling, but hopefully (touch wood!) I will be there for the race this year. Said that for the last two years though... in 2005 I went to shoot the supports on the Saturday, and got incinerated by the sun... 2006 I went on the Friday test day, and went to Brands Hatch on the Sunday. Was going to go to Snetterton, but it got cold and damp, and I was tired... so I didn't.

Hopefully that'll change in '07!

Count me in Terry,
Loved this event this year. Do you know what the supprot races are?
Hopefully we'll have better weather for the night shift!!!

mini1400 · 26 Nov 2006, 10:19 (Ref:1775141)

I'll be there, hopefully I won't have my magnet with me

vw_nut · 26 Nov 2006, 11:18 (Ref:1775188)

oh poo that the start of my holiday in cornwall

Peter Harding · 26 Nov 2006, 12:25 (Ref:1775229)

No clash of events this year so I sould be there all weekend. Last year had to make do with just being there for the first half day.

Time to start crossing fingers that my finals are nice and early so I'll be able to attend without a guilty complex that I should be revising!

Asp,
knowing the fantastic speeds the 2CVs reach, I'm sure you could be on post and revise at the same time

Don't laugh, it's a tried and testing technique!

gravel_monkey · 26 Nov 2006, 17:21 (Ref:1775334)

really wanted to have a crack at this one but i think the weekend opener for anglesey is the same so will prob be there.

bluebeard · 30 Nov 2006, 13:11 (Ref:1778597)

Hope this doesn't clash with Anglesey AGAIN

Dean Watson · 30 Nov 2006, 15:13 (Ref:1778698)

I must now bow to the pressure

inflicted on me by Pete and Andrew the last time I visited Norfolk and say

I,ll be there.

I am looking forward to my first 24hr. I have been told that its agreat weekend but one that has to attended to fully appreciate.

chezza · 30 Nov 2006, 15:31 (Ref:1778722)

Bluebeard...it does.

Currently timetabled to clash with the opening meeting of the new Anglesey!

What a decision...I still don't know which one I'm going to do!

bluebeard · 1 Dec 2006, 12:49 (Ref:1779456)

Thanks Chezza, no choice for me i'm afraid, it has to be Anglesey!

Harry,
That's a shame - would have been good to have you with us again at Snet - but fully understand the reasons - perhaps see you at another Snet meeting. You know you'll always be welcome to join us.

Chezza,
You would regret not being at the 24hr - you know it makes sense!

Terry

bluebeard · 4 Dec 2006, 13:30 (Ref:1781654)

Mike

I normally arrive the day before about lunchtime and never have a problem. Marshals camp to the right of/behind Tyrells restaurant. (thats facing the front of Tyrells)
Considering your age, you might want to come a few days before and have a rest before going out on bank.

**Asp** · 7 Dec 2006, 15:02 (Ref:1784196)

I imagine the camping arrangements may end up changing slightly for next year given the circuit alterations - they will slightly encroach onto both the current public and marshal camping areas (looking at the plans anyway).
However, there is plenty of room, so I'm sure any changes will become apparent with the start of the new season and all established by the time of the 24h.

DaveW · 7 Dec 2006, 18:27 (Ref:1784321)

Not all the proposed alterations will take place this winter. Most of the work is around the Bombhole/Coram/Russell area so I suspect that marshals camping will be unaffected, at least for 2007.

Mike, apart from arriving early as Peter suggested I'd also suggest not being in too much of a hurry to get away as there is plenty of hospitality - or as Terry puts it, debriefing sessions - at the end of the event.

Terry Scannell · 7 Dec 2006, 20:25 (Ref:1784429)

Yes, as Dave says the 2cv competitors have the post race presentations in Tyrrell's after the event, to which all the marshals and officials are invited and included totally in the celebrations. Although there appears to be one crew in particular that always seems to have the stamina to be the last out at the end of the evening!

Seriously though it is a fun event from Friday afternoon right through to the Monday night.

Terry

snetmarshal · 7 Dec 2006, 20:33 (Ref:1784433)

Yes Terry, your crew does seem to have the stamina when it comes to the "debrief"

Terry Scannell · 7 Dec 2006, 20:43 (Ref:1784440)

As we always say to you - "Cheers Andy"!!!
