Additional Races:

12 Lap Scratch Race for 1950s Sports Racing Cars – Sunday

A special ‘double-header’ for this popular class with the second race to grid by the results of the first.

2 Hour VSCC Team Relay Race – Saturday

The popular Pre-war Sports-Cars ‘Team Race’ makes a welcome return after a 2009 absence. We urge our regular and new Team Captains to rally the troops and get their teams of three or four car/driver combinations together. Although not mandatory, single marque teams are encouraged to add an extra little competitive edge to proceedings.

20 minute Scratch Race for Invited Pre-1960’s Sports-Cars - Saturday

This special one-off race is for those sports cars of the 1950s and early 60s (at the discretion of the organizers) that are perhaps less used to the rigorous competition of our other 50s Sports Racing Cars races on offer this weekend. Some rare and elite machinery is sure to be on display.

10 Lap Williams Trophy Race for 2-seater Pre-1934 Grand Prix Cars - Saturday

We are delighted to once again play host to the Bugatti Owners’ Club’s prestigious trophy race incorporating no less than four different trophies.

5 Lap Austin 7 Challenge Race Saturday

Following its success at Oulton in 2009 we are having a re-run of the challenge race where competitors from the 750 MC will go head to head with our own VSCC Austin 7 racers.

10 Laps Scratch Race for Front-engined Formula Junior Racing Cars – Saturday

We invite the front-engined cars of the FJHRA back to compete after a successful outing at Mallory in August.

Testing

There will be no testing preceding the event. ‘Circuit Days’ are hosting a Track Day at the venue on Friday 1 October.

Signing On and Scrutineering

Please note there will be no signing on or scrutineering on Friday 1 October due to the Track Day at the venue (see above). As such, there will be absolutely no access to the circuit for anybody (competitors, crew or marshals) until 1700hrs on Friday evening.

Circuit Update:

The circuit has been slightly re-profiled at Goddards so that there is more run off area in front of the hospitality suites, approach into Redgate is now faster and the entire starting grid will now line up on the straight.
