Just for the benefit of those that wonder what we are on about, Bosworth and more particularly the battle of Bosworth field is the last time the crown on England changed in battle when Richard III was defeated. When I last went, some years ago it was fascinating to see placards showing silhouettes of the current scenery with the battle lines drawn on them. You don’t get that “real” feeling from castles. The close proximity of the opposing armies will surprise you.
Basically just a pleasant couple of hours with English history.
Have there been any new developments on all the fantastic variety of track events, further to Jim’s article in the magazine? If there’s support from other members, may I suggest we try to enable as many people as possible to experience the joy of driving their cars on such a great track? There always seem to be a lot of disappointed owners who aren’t quick enough off the mark to book the limited number of track places. Perhaps more places could be created by shortening the sessions, so instead of 1-2 there are 3-4 a day? I understand this may not be practical at the National Rally because of the busy track schedule for different events, but is it possible (or already happening) elsewhere?
Hi, not sure if this is the right forum bit or not but up here in darkest deepest North East Scotland we have been given the chance to attend a classic car event called Motorvation on the 19th July. This is a pretty large event with all the usual classic cars and super-car clubs going along. the event will also be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the fild The Italian Job and the 50th anniversary of the mini. I have the option of taking 6 cars, one of which just happens to be a 1989 registered one. I wondered if we are able to get hold of any banners or the like to help advertise the 20th anniversary? I only have the usual area banner. Any ideas or help would be great.
I would send your query direct to Mino at his Club email address as he is heading up the 15 20 team and will know whats happening and put you in touch with the relevant team member to help you.
Am I correct in thinking that this event replaces the proposed national rally date of 6th September? Many apologies if someone has asked this previously but cannot be bothered to read 9 pages of posts!!!
The event does look good. However STHT April gives the inpression that its now a one day event - is that so ? Also, I am having trouble in finding a campsite with some decent facilities so do you have any recommendations, The Bosworth Water Trust has a two night minimum booking. It might be worth setting up an information page for campers. Regards John Kent
I had hoped that other perople would have posted more details here by now. However…
The National event will take place on Saturday the 12th September and be a one day event. As far I am aware there is not entrace price set, although there will be one.
The gala dinner and hotel side is well in hand and details I believe are posted elsewhere.
There will be track action all day and exciting things going on, and there will be a post up about that side of things, hopefully later today.
The Sunday, Mallory shows the meeting being this:-
Championship Car Races A round of the BARC National club car championships Adults £10 Online (£12 on the Gate ) per day Children, Parking & Paddock Free. A charge for camping may be made.
