The ever-popular VSCC Pre-war Sports-Car Team Relay Race will be held on the evening of Saturday 17 August at Pembrey. As part of the Club’s ever-growing Welsh Speed Weekend, the event will be an exciting finale to Saturday’s track action, following the conclusion of the Sprint, and a great warm-up for Sunday’s Hawthorn Memorial Trophies Race Meeting programme. A truly unique event and at only £300 per team, it offers true value for money.

Following last year’s successful first running of the event at this venue, the 2013 race will follow a similar format, as follows:
 

• The Race will be 90 minutes

• Teams will consist of a maximum of three drivers and three cars and a minimum of three drivers and two cars (two drivers sharing one car is acceptable)

• Drivers/cars will only be allowed to enter one team.

• Each driver will be required to drive a minimum of 20 consecutive minutes and no more than 30 minutes (plus a lap) without a handover to another team member.

• Practice will take place in convoy behind a Course Car before the event, following the conclusion of the Sprint.

• A Team Manager must be appointed (who may or may not drive in the race) and a Judge will be allocated to each team to keep record of penalties, time-management etc.

• Read full regulations for the race in the attached ASRs.

 
With publication of the Regulations and Entry Fees, entries are now open – click HERE to download Regulations and Entry Forms for the event (detailed below):
 

• Team Race Entry Form

 Each individual driver in the Team of 3 is required to complete and return one of these (NB in addition to any entry form submitted for Sunday’s races e.g. Set 3 Bill Phillips Trophy Race).
 
 

• Team Registration Form

The Team Manager for each team should complete this form (in addition to an individual driver entry form if also driving in the  race) detailing the Team Name, his/her own contact details, the three team driver/car combinations and confirmation of payment method for team.*
 
 

• *Payment

 The Entry Fee for the event is £300 per team. This can be paid:
 

• by each team driver individually (please include payment details/cheque for £100 with individual Entry Forms)

 

• by one team driver (please include payment details/cheque for £300 with individual Entry Form)

 

• by the Team Manager (please include payment details/cheque for £300 with Team Registration Form)

 
 
Entries close on Wednesday 31 July so don’t delay and submit your entries now. At £300 per team, the event provides real value for money – you will not find many opportunities for 30 minutes of track-time for £100 with the added camaraderie and fun of a team event.
 
To ensure a real competitive edge, single marque teams are encouraged but by no means mandatory!
 
If you are interested in taking part but are not affiliated with an existing team, don’t dismay – contact the Competition Department now and we will take your details. Chances are we can match you to other individual entrants to form additional teams (such line-ups have performed admirably in past editions!)
 
Without an eligible car or race licence? We are looking for our Judges for the day too so why not volunteer your services – it’s a great way to get involved and there is nothing quite like the camaraderie in the Pit Lane of the VSCC Team Race.
 
We are greatly looking forward to the race and hope it continues to be a stellar addition to our Welsh Speed Weekend at Pembrey. Don’t forget entries are now open for the Sprint (Saturday – ideal practice for the Team Race later in the day) and other races (Sunday) so why not make a complete weekend of your VSCC trip to West Wales?
