24th December 2009
Dear Driver,
 

Thank you for showing an interest in racing with BARC South Eastern Centre (BARC SEC) in 2010.  Please find attached the 2010 registration form.  You will also find attached copies of the technical regulations for each of our championships, this is to enable you to suggest to us which class your car should be in.  Please note these regulations remain provisional and are subject to approval by the MSA.

 

Registration fees have been frozen for 2010 and will remain at £25 for the first championship that you register for and then £15 for each subsequent championship.

 

If drivers wish to keep their 2009 race numbers or to request a specific number please make sure that your registration forms are back with us by Monday 1st February, but please note that race numbers cannot be guaranteed.

 

Again in 2010 we will be trying to limit the numbers of regulations and entry forms that we print; instead preferring to publish them on the BARC website, www.barc.net and also to send them out via email.  Please make sure that you enter a valid email address on your registration form and remember to update us if this changes.

 

In 2010 we are offering the option for you to receive Brief Torque, our quarterly magazine, by email rather than by post.  Should you like to receive it by email, please tick the box on the registration form.  If you don’t tick the box you will continue to receive a printed copy of the magazine.

 

To make sure that our database of drivers’ information is complete and as accurate as possible, registration forms will not be accepted unless all the fields have been completed, including your race licence and transponder numbers.  If you do not have a transponder and wish to hire one throughout the season please put HIRE in the transponder section.  Please make sure that if any of your details alter during the season you inform us of the changes.  When completing your registration form please make sure that you enter the information CLEARLY and in BLOCK CAPITALS.

 

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind drivers that to race in any of our championships they have to be a member of an MSA recognised motor club.  In 2010 all Dunlop Motorsport News Saloon Car Championship and Quaife Intermarque League drivers will need to be members of BARC South East.  Club membership cards will be checked throughout the 2010 season, so make sure that your membership covers the entire season.  For those who are looking to join a club please be aware that the fee for joining BARC SEC in 2010 has been frozen at 2009 prices, comprising £35 for your basic membership and then £15 for South East Centre membership.

 

Fully completed registration forms and payment should be returned to: Howard Smith, BARC SEC, 60 Algers Road, Loughton Essex, IG10 4NG.

 

Yours sincerely,

 
Cheryl Tilbury
Competition Secretary
BARC South Eastern Centre

LIGHTS, CAMERAS, ACTION: CLUB MOTORSPORT ENTERS THE LIVE TV ERA

A new concept in televised motorsport action is to be pioneered in Britain next season, with viewers across Europe set to enjoy a five-hour feast of national race action live from Mallory Park.

The Mallory meeting - a pilot event for a planned quartet of live-TV meetings in 2010, ahead of a full season of such meetings the following year - will feature a 16-race programme of 10-minute races for saloons, sports cars and single-seaters with the emphasis squarely on entertainment.

"The aim is to provide the most exciting spectacle that British club racing can offer," says event director Magnus Laird, "and to bring back some of the appeal which has been eroded in recent years for spectators, competitors and sponsors alike.

"The combination of full grids, short races and live television, combined with slick organisation and presentation, should prove a winning formula."

Behind the cameras at the Sunday 16 May event will be the technicians of HayFisher, the country's leading motorsport TV production company. The action will be beamed via HayFisher's unique wireless camera system and a satellite uplink truck from rural Leicestershire to the Paris HQ of Motors TV, from where it will be broadcast to homes Europe-wide.

Eight championships are scheduled to appear and take part in double-header races at Mallory, including Kent-engined Formula Fords, Caterham Graduates, 2CVs, the Kumho BMW Championship, BARC Dunlop Motorsport News Saloons, BARC Intermarque League, Sports 2000 and the BARC Tin Tops Championship.

Organisers are pegging entry fees for competitors at £300 per car, to include a 10-minute qualifying session and two 10-minute races, with test sessions available at Mallory on the Saturday at just £30 for 25 minutes of track time. All competitors will receive a free DVD of the Motors TV programme and free in-paddock catering is planned.

The Mallory live TV raceday is being designed to appeal not only to armchair viewers and competitors but also to circuit-goers. Paddock entertainment will include between-race autotests against the clock, which all the race winners will be invited to contest, and there will be professional commentary and a 40-metre TV screen broadcasting the action.
