Parking up.

Our parking up man will be Tim.. don’t think he will be very challenged with only Mono and GTCup!

Podiums and Presentations.

We will have photo opportunities on the podium for each class after each race using the ‘dummy’ trophies.  The podium is located between the entry end of the pitlane and the parc ferme… so nice and handy for friends and family to get photos.

The full presentation with the real trophies will take place back at the Mono Hub soon after our last race (so between 5.00 and 5.15pm). A great chance to say farewell to everyone (unless you are attending the Tiedeman final rounds at Donington) after a great year of racing and to give a big THANK YOU to my team who have made it all possible.

Safety car

Hope we really don’t need any of these, but after the issues at Donington (both from the officials side and the drivers side) plus the recent problems in MSA Formula, expect the topic of safety car procedures to come up at our briefings – reminder, you do NOT overtake until past the line on a restart.

Exclusive Practice

20 min exclusive Mono practice negotiated with MSVR.

This is 20 mins practice on the morning of Saturday 10^th October (well we only race on the Saturday!) for £80.

It is ONLY one session for Mono so it will be ‘1^st come .. ‘ (41 slots available)  in terms of bookings TO RACHEL please.

No forms, just make sure Rachel knows if you want to enter this session.

It will be mixed Mono. So if you don’t want to run with classes you don’t race with, please don’t enter – your normal race day will continue as planned.

Scrutineering

Oulton Park represents the final rounds of the 2015 Monoposto Championship (the Tiedeman Trophy Championship wraps up in 7^th November at Donington) and there is all to play for in several classes with numerous possible champions still mathematically possible.   I am personally delighted we have reached this stage without significant eligibility or judicial elements clouding the championship and in keeping with other championships I have raced in, we will be sealing some engines for possible detailed inspection in the period following the different final rounds (sealing on the day, inspections by arrangement to follow) so that fairness continues to be seen to be done..

In addition, Championship Reg  5.13.3 regarding using a single set of slick tyres in 2000 and Classic will be in action at Oulton where we certainly hope this lovely weather will still be around. Tyres will be marked at scrutineering…. Steven Connor.

Entry List Summary Donington v5

NO RESERVES

Friday is a Trackday NOT a test day… Testing is available on Thursday.

PS:  No power in the paddock

We have had a notification from the council as they will be carrying out carriageway resurfacing work on the roundabout of A453, Ashby Road, DHL/East Midlands Airport Island, Castle Donington.

Therefore Ashby road will be closed to all through traffic from the junction with The Green to the traffic light junction with Hill Top. This will begin on 18^th September for a period of 4 days between the hours of 09:30am and 16:30pm each day.

The council have published a planned Diversion Map

Here is a Google of the area, Donington in top left of map. As I see this, the A453 from the M1 past the Airport (going West from J23A) will be closed. Therefore access is from the other end of the A453 at its junction with the A42 and I assume that coming North or South on the M1 you will need to go round the A42 and then up the A453 at Tonge.

;

Just a general reminder that anyone using radios at Donington on September 19/20 will need to register their frequencies in advance due to the proximity of East Midlands Airport (for use in the paddock only of course pit to car not allowed in Mono).

NOW PUBLISHED  Final Instruction 31st August      PADDOCK PLAN     TIMETABLE

Track Limits.
For the avoidance of doubt, the green concrete areas are ‘off limits’ and will be monitored for potential track limits violations.

I understand our fellow racers (FF1600s) are being called to a drivers briefing because of the large number of track limit penalties issued the last time they raced – apparently some 5, 10 & 15sec penalties, with some podium places lost as a result.  Notably it is the 2 chicanes at The Esses and Bobbies that cause the most issues, being very inviting to straightline over the kerbs. Despite our F1 colleagues being able to drive fully off the track at Spa last weekend, we are required to stay inside the track limits or receive penalties.

Alister Poulter will be our Scrutineer and Gary Tanner our Clerk of Course – so both know Mono very well after we behaved so nicely for them at Brands earlier in the month!

CCRC report we can get in during Sunday… they have a couple of things going on but  Jo and her team will try to accommodate us.  Combe paddock does not have 240v power – so the Mono Hub urn will be on gas again.

Times Summary:

Sign on 8.35 in race control… Scrutineering 8.45 in the bay … qualifying 10.05 on the track!

First Mono race 13.40 with trophies on podium after……….   Second Mono race 16.45 with trophies on podium.

AWARDS with Tiedeman Champion of Castle Combe awarded approx 45 mins after end of our second race (so at approx 17.45) at the Mono Hub

Part of the  31st August 2015 CCRC Bank Holiday Meeting 

Our normal Mono MSVR passes WILL NOT be in use. Tickets have been supplied by CCRC and being sent out by Rachel at MAC.

Easy one this time.. just one grid, all on the one day – 1 x qualifying and 2 x races.  Race 1 result will set race 2 grid (for those of you old enough to remember, the old ‘racing ahead’ format from over a decade ago) – just something different from the main series (pros and cons doing it each way I know).

Trophies will be awarded as:

1-2-3 overall (on the podium) for each of the 2 races.

End of day, 1-2-3 for the combined 2 races based on the class point system in the regulations – thus any class competitor could be the Tiedeman Champion of Combe.

End of day, Driver of the Day for the driver who improved the most places from original qualifying position to race 2 finish.

Chairman of the Technical Committee Russ Giles outlines the technical decisions taken at a recent board meeting.

There were a number of technical and class changes confirmed that we wish to share with the membership as soon as possible.

• The 2 Litre cars will be split in to 3 classes rather than the existing 2. Names of these classes need to be confirmed but are summarised below.
  • Classic – Pre 93 only, including all FVL’s
  • New class – Post 92 non F3 cars and F3 cars 93 to 96
  • 2000 – Post 97 F3 cars and all FRS 16v cars
• There will be a list of approved rain lights issued by the club. It will be compulsory to use a rain light from this list as of next year.
• The Formula Renault 2.0L 16V 2000 onwards car will cease to be eligible for any class from 1 Jan 2017
  • Note that the 95 to 99 8V cars will continue to be eligible
• As previously announced, the eligibility date for 2000 will move forward on 1 Jan 2017 to allow cars up to 2007 to be used.
• The Dtec class will not continue next year but the cars will be found a home in another class.

If you need any more information regarding the above, please contact Steven, Russ or your class reps who will be pleased to help.

PADDOCK PARKING is going to be a challenge, anyone with spare awning space who might accept some ‘beer money’ to let another car in would be doing everyone a favour. ….  waiting to hear about the use of the rally stage for trailer park and Motorhome/caravan parking.

Part of the Lotus Festival event

Two Grids, each with a quali and race each day. Can be entered as a car ‘share’ with different drivers each day or just as one day. Sharing with F3Cup championship rounds.

Brands GP Entry Summary V5

Grid splits were difficult for this one… but everyone now has a confirmed place.

LAST MINUTE CANCELLATIONS have allowed the entire 1600 class to move to grid 1 (away from the F3Cup cars) with the Duratecs going the other way.

For the eagle eyed,  the Nathan Corridon Reynard now correctly reclassified as a 2000 car due to the engine running on 2000 class injection. Update: Nathan has asked to run as ‘invisible for points’ with the Classic class on their grid and Championship Coordinators discretion has been applied to agree – providing this doesn’t make anyone a reserve. (V5 entry summary now required)

Paddock plan issue 1  N.B. Note from Stephen Green  ” It’s possible that all caravans and motor homes may have to be parked on the rally stage for this event as paddock space is severely limited.”

TIMETABLE … chance for a late start Sunday, or attend church, or recover from the BBQ the night before…. or even watch the Lotus events.

SCRUTINEERING:  Now arranged that F3Cup and Monoposto will be scrutineered in situ IN THE AWNINGS starting at 10.00am.  We have been asked to make sure all our competitors are signed on and someone is present with the car (who knows how to unwrap it, remove brake cylinder caps, turn on the rain light, turn off the master etc), with the sign on sheet and all the clothing/kit etc at 10.00am..please help your Mono team who will be doing pre scrutineering checks to make sure we can move the scrutineers through ASAP… anyone who misses these scrutineers will need to take the car to the scrutineering bay.

There is a copy attached for any of you who did not get one and also a copy of the menu attached.BBQ Ticket Order A5   Monoposto Summer BBQ Menu

To allay your fears, I’m only organising this event, not cooking as a number of you seemed a bit worried about that.

We need to know numbers beforehand so can you please get forms back to Steven as soon as possible and no later than Saturday 8^th August.

Please advise if any of your party have any food allergies.

If you want to pay cash, please return the form to Steven with the confirmed numbers and I will collect the cash from you on the day.

Whichever way you pay, all tickets will be handed out on the day.

It was good to meet you at Spa over the weekend.

I wanted to drop you an email, so that you have my contact details.

Pirelli will be in attendance for the below rounds of your championship, should anyone need any tyres – if they contact me prior to the event, I’ll ensure there is sufficient stock on board.

We can also send tyres out direct for the rounds that we won’t be in attendance.

25/26 July – Snetterton– Pirelli attending with GT Cup

15/16 –August – Brands GP – Pirelli attending with F3 Cup

31 August – Castle Combe – Pirelli attending with Ferrari Classic

19-20 September – Donington Park – Pirelli attending with GT Cup

26 September – Mallory Park –

10 October – Oulton Park – Pirelli attending with GT Cup

7 November – Donington Park

We currently stock plenty of the F3/F4 sizes, and I’ll be trying to source small quantities of smaller sizes to suit the other cars too. I’m sure this should cover the full grid (or close to).

160/530-13

180/530-13

200/540-13

250/575-13

Please don’t hesitate to contact me for any needs

Please note the races will be ROLLING STARTS.

Also, for qualifying we will attempt to line the cars up in assembly in class groups to maximise the qualifying ‘spread’ (at least for the first few laps).

Friday testing still available at Silverstone

TRACK LIMITS

Our Chief Clerk of Course has asked for our cooperation and support regarding track limits this coming weekend at Silverstone. The event will run to MSA regulations regarding track limits and these MUST be adhered to by competitors.

Silverstone are preparing for the British Grand Prix in just a few weeks and will not tolerate abuse of these regulations.

Individual competitors will be dealt with according to MSA regulations but in the event that non compliance becomes excessive there is the option to stop the session.

Each briefing will underline this point.

HERE!     Entry list V3    HERE!  …  ….

Anyone who is forced to withdraw, please advise MAC and Monoposto ASAP so that a reserve might be offered a place.

Notes

The codes are for admin and indicate how we have or will collect payment.

Reserves are indicated by the R… numbers

We could potentially qualify with all the reserves (limit is 20% extra reserves on track at one time)

On recent form, a  reserve prepared to take the gamble of getting a race and attending the event would ‘probably’ get that race… that means potential bad news for one competitor could become good news for a reserve – that is motorsport.  Reminder.. get your 3 laps in during qualifying!!

Testing timetable

Reserve procedure.

We don’t run pre-qualifying (not considered fair at our level of racing) so the procedure is:

1. We only know for certain how many entries we have at close of business 3 days before the event (that is the result of our very member friendly entry/cancellation policy which in this case proves less friendly to reserves) but will be asking people to be nice and let us know really early if they are pulling out.
2. Anyone attending as a confirmed entrant is ‘IN’ and anyone attending as a reserve is… a ‘RESERVE’!
3. We can run with 20% extra cars in qualifying than in the race (MSA rules)… one time at Silverstone there were more than 20% reserves and Simon obtained permission to run more reserves in total but not on track at the same time.
4. Reserves who run in qualifying are still reserves after qualifying, irrespective of the time they set (even if they set pole time!), but must have set their 3 laps at least to be considered to enter the race.
5. If any cars then withdraw (mechanical or accident) we let in the reserves who have ‘qualified’ in reserve order (order the entries were received).
6. Even if they aren’t officially in as the grid is formed, the remaining reserves can wait at the pitlane and if cars fail on the parade lap or right at the start, the Clerk of Course can opt to let them join the race.
7. Reserves who only qualify but don’t race get an 85% refund from the Club (Monoposto policy, not anything to do with MSA)
8. Get 3 laps in..
9. Get 3 laps in…..
10. Get 3 laps in……..
