The regs for this event will be published soon, but this is a reminder that MSUK require every competitor to have a 2025 RS Clubman competition licence. This is available online from Motorsport UK, and the licence is free and it can be sent by email. Couldn't be easier. You will need one to enter the JJ on the 10th of January, and of course for other events too.

Hi All,
Seasons Greetings to everyone!
As everyone knows, marshals are needed to run a motorsport event, and the first 12-Car of 2025 needs a few, or more! Any volunteers will be most welcome. We need marshals for 6 controls, they are all on the north western quarter of OS map 168, so should be in easy reach for most. Yo can go straight to the control or go to the start venue in Silver End to get your instructions. Car 1 leaves the start at about 7.40pm, and the competitive bit is all over by 10pm after which the results will be announced in the finish venue. It's also good to have company when marshalling, so get a friend or CMC member (or both!) to join you at the control. More the merrier! If you need more info my email is on the regs plus my mob number.

I'm busy requesting the RM license so long. I dont know much or which car we will take, because I'm just a driver, toss up between a Vitesse, MK2 I think it is or the Spitfire. Never driven a classic or event until last year when I was asked to drive the TSSC coast-to-coast, but my navigator will have done one or more of the 12 car type navigation events before, but I cannot rely on them remembering how to or doing the directions and homework. So I'll need help I'm sure on the day. Loads of forms to fill in phew, hope we can still get a spot.
Q: This is a night drive, for about 3-4 hours I take it? And has to be done old-school, no digital devices if I am understanding the rules and the guide?
Hi Conrad,
There's nothing to worry about! You have entered as Beginners so you will have the navigation 1 hour before your due start time. Also I can email you the navigation the day before but this results in you receiving 6 Fails! As Beginners the navigation is straightforward - it includes the map ref for each control, so if you go off route you will still know where the next control is. Car 1 starts at 1938 approx and all is finished just befor 10pm. All your navigator needs is the map (168), a romer, a couple of soft pencils, a map board, a map light, possibly a rubber/eraser, and a magnifying glass can be useful. Jim Bowie would be happy to speak to you on 07799 535190 Monday evening and after, and I am sure he will answer any questions you may have. My mob no is in the regs should you need it beforehand.
All the best,
Andy
