Tim Bancroft Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Just received this months copy of 'Classic and Sportscar'. Contained in the package was a copy of an organisation called 'Grand Touring Club - News' and their proposed iternary of events for the following year.The cost of taking part in their events seems to range from approx £250 entry to loads of money! I admit that crews who enter will be staying in nice Hotels and that the events are aimed at the 'Well heeled enthusiasts'. Remember that this price does not include for costs such as fuel. etc.Gotta say I much rather the Club Triumph type of event and reckon that the 10CR offers superb value for money. Maybe fellow members do not appreciate how cheap this event (and the RBRR) are in comparison with other long distance driving events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Tim - I like it low cost as adventures like this should be for as many people as possible.With all due respect, the RBRR and 10CR can be done in a car bought off e-bay for less than a hundred quid. Throw in a tent and accomodation is sorted too.And we all have a great time too!Don't tell too many people tho - marking up 3 road atlases for every entrant is a bit of a daunting task if I think about it too much ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Nothing as bad as packing 100 tankards for the RBRR finishers who are not coming to the do on Sat. Many thanks to all the RBRR crews who are coming along! Really looking forward to that job-NOT!Any volunteers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Just been thinking about your comment about map marking- the 10CR was your idea- reap the whirlwind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Yeah, yeah I know ;Dnext time I have an idea like that I'll :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 There's gotta be an easier way! Print it onto transparent sheets of plastic for people to overlay? Make the whole map printable from people's PCs? Stop fannying about and just do it? ;DI'm looking forward to it and when I have finished selling all my stuff, have paid back the wife and talked some idiots into doing it with me, I'll enter!

James Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Why not just print instructions like the RBRR?Autoroute would make short work of that surely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I think there's an investment in time and technology here that may or may not be worth it - marking maps is easier perhaps?Maybe raider could mark one then put it up on a web page so participants can mark upi tehir own maps? The site could have a password to keep it secure and that would cut down on Raider's workload - unless you like marking maps Raider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Reckon only Derek Pollock, Tim Hunt, Keith Bennett and Nigel Gair have done more RBRRs than Dave Langrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david langrick Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Like it says:" the club that does" With events like 10CR, 20CC ,RBRR etc there is always something to aim for involving proper road use , if you see what i mean, rather than static display. Thats what they are for and always appreciate a damn good thrashing every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
