POSTPONED TO 9TH NOVEMBER

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (2nd November) for our Group A classes - Historic Saloon (HS), American Pony Car (APC), Vintage Sports '60-'75 (VS6075). We'll run special races for newcomers using FRC's IROC cars if we have at least two new drivers present, so encourage others to come along.

We plan to start at 8:30PM sharp. Here's the usual schedule:

• Free practice and testing up to 8:30 PM
• 8:30 PM - Technical Inspection (excluding IROC classes). Cars will be moved to the parc fermé location after they are inspected and comply with the requirements.
• Qualifying followed by racing. Drivers not ready when called to grid will be replaced by any standby drivers who are ready.
• Post-race Technical Inspection (if required).
• After racing - Packing up and liming/old talk (but not too late!).
