Not been sent the final instructions yet.
Sat Am will be qually I expect then probably 1 MR2 race Sat and then 2 on the Sun or vice versa, looks like a heathly entry list of Mk1's in the GT150 class of the Nippons too so no matter how it falls there will be Mk1's racing in 3 races per day :clap:

Doing MR2 and Nippon at Pembrey...
I'm doing both, and saw a few others were as well - have made a combined timetable below in case its useful to anyone.
One question though - as the [circuit's] scrutineering is for MSA compliance....do I really need to get scrutineered twice?
Similarly - can I sign on for both series at the same time?
Saturday
12:25 - Nippon signon
12:30 - Nippon scrut (until 13:00)
13:20 - MR2 signon
13:25 - MR2 scrut (until 13:55)
13:50 - Nippon qualifying
14:45 - MR2 qualifying
15:40 - Nippon race 1
16:40 - MR2 race 1
17:40 - Nippon race 2
Sunday
10:00 - MR2 free practise
11:00 - Nippon race 3
12:10 - MR2 race 2
14:35 - MR2 race 3"

Cheers Debs, thats great :clap:
Will definitely be there at some stage over the weekend, either later on Saturday afternoon or more likely Sunday. Although, the forecast is pretty bleak for both days :(
Will Jinxy be wearing his lovely gold chains (as in his pic :mrgreen: ) so that I'll recognise you guys?? :lol:

Whisper it quietly Debs...I wont be in a Mk1 either! :shh: :shh:
It looks like I'll be there for the Sunday only & depending on who's coming along with me I'll either be in a black Qashqai or blue Fabia vRS :shock:
Jo - cheers for the wikipedia info :+:

Just back from a very enjoyable afternoons MR2 racing!
Having never seen a Mk1 on track, I was really impressed by how well they handled & the times they were doing in comparison to some of the other cars. The only downside was the weather & the fact that I couldn't make it for the whole week-end!!
Debs/Jinx - was keepin an "eye-out" for you guys but to no avail. My 12-yr old was looking forward to meeting the guy who's car is in "that video"! :lol: We did have a quick look around the paddock during the lunch break but didn't like to nosey about too much, as we weren't sure if we were actually allowed in there?? :?
Hybrids - thought you're car looked really good until we passed you on the M4 & saw the drivers side! :o :wtf:
Cant wait till next year! :+:
Re: MR2 Racing Pembrey 16th & 17th May
Dear Mark
Really sorry we didn't manage to catch up, we where camped out in the Paddock area, albeit a bit wet and wind swept, had I realised should have said raid the Paddock area, as yes you are allowed in there.
Was a fantastic weekend of racing, thrills, spills and a few dents :silent:
