Club Triumph proudly announces the first Coast to Coast Run for Drive it Day - 21-22 April 2018

The 2018 C2C will start around 5pm Saturday April 21st at Anglesey race circuit with a meal and the opportunity of some sighting laps around the circuit. The run itself then sees us head off across country via an absolute belter of a route taking in some of the best driving roads in Wales and England, arriving at the finish point, Southwold (Suffolk) around 8am the following morning for breakfast. This event will be non-competitive with no complicated navigation and the full route will be given to all entrants in advance of the start.

For anyone out there that is entering the RBRR for the first time, this is an excellent opportunity to give both your car and crew a shake down prior to the event!

Enter via the new website here https://www.clubtriumph.ltd/menu/18746/view

Colin behind the wheel...!  Mr Rutter, I hope you're up for the challenge - that could hand the co-drivers championship to you dear chap.

Charlie & I should be there... thought I was going to miss this one Mike, but changed arrangements and have managed to keep it clear!

All

An email has been sent top all lead entrants with further accurate (I hope) info...

A message from our friends at MGs on Track


Castle Combe Monday June 26th

We unexpectedly have spaces available for our track day at Castle Combe on Monday 26th June. If you wish to book one of these places, head on over to the event page on our website HERE and click on "Book and Pay" at the bottom of the page. The cost is £155 (MGCC members) with instruction (£16), coaching (£42) and helmet hire (£11) all available to book at the same time.

Any questions to James Mumford our event manager via JamesM@mgs-on-track.co.uk.

Gutted that we can't run the event this year. Jon has put a lot of work in and it is a disappointing when we then draw a blank on entries when the dates have been known for a while. I'm guessing the change of date for the Goodwood Festival of Speed didn't help, as that was made after we'd firmed up our diary. Be good to understand if there are any other events clashes we haven't noted, that we should be aware of.

There hasn't been an update to the entry list for quite a while. Have there not been any retirements yet?

Hi all

I'm trying to bring the tables up to date but have only been sent requests from three people so far (Steve Radley, Charlie Deards and Mike Banks)... and I know a lot more of you have taken part in events.

If you have made any requests, please resubmit, as we don't have them.

Please can you send your points claims into the dedicated CT e-mail address comps_points@club.triumph.org.uk - remember to let us know what championship and local area they should be put against, and if outside Club Triumph, please supply a link to the results in order they can be verified.

Cheers everyone

Ellis

An email has been sent to all lead entrants (please do not re-post details on any social media sites).

If you have not received the mail, please send me a private message on here so I can investigate. Cheers.

Blimey...... you had to move fast didn't you 😲.  I saw Ellis' post 10 minutes after it went up and the form was in the 'box within the hour.  Postman didn't collect until 4.30 though.  I blame the postman.  Essex postmen are clearly much faster, especially around Latchingdon 🙂

Nick

...and come up for air for a few moments.

Here's how the entry list is looking at present: [Sorry, link no longer available]

Anyone  advise me best way to find my membership number i cant just put my hand on it so i can send my entry?

Quoted from cook1e

Ellis did tell me earlier in the year that I've won a copy from a guess the number of competition at the club dinner last year, can't even remember what I guessed I think it may have been time of something?  I was probably a little the worse for wear at the time but it didn't cloud either my judgement or maybe perhaps just a lucky guess!

But really looking forward to getting my copy when it's published anyway.

Entry is filling up fast - in just one day almost half the entry list has been filled. DON'T HANG ABOUT IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO ENTER.

Quoted from Bobbyspit

Is the new mag out? not had mine

Quoted from yorkshire_spam

Any idea when the mag will be available online? My snailmail delivery usually lags behind everyone else - so I was gonna print it from the PDF and get it posted.

Yes Nick - drop me an email to discuss.

As November mags should start dropping on people's door mats today / tomorrow, that means entry is now open...

Full details, entry forms and regulations (please read them before entering) are on the Comps website: [Sorry, link no longer available]

Space is limited, so don't hang about.

Thanks for organising Mike - really enjoyed the challenge and route today, and good that the weather held. Looking forward to next year already. 😉

Quoted from AndyF

Oh, I remember it well

the ground was so hard you needed a Hiti to get the tent pegs in 🙂

Those were the days on days like those .... (think I am getting my song titles mixed up 🙂 )

Quoted from Saltddirk

Anyone wanting a continental base for the start, more than welcome.

Guys

Before we start getting into what is "allowed" on the road etc... EVERYONE has a responsibility to not drive if they feel they are THAT tired, and that they are not in control...

I've done the event as a two man crew, and three man crew. Yes it's easier as a three man crew, but to be honest, by the time you get to Sunday afternoon, you're over the worst of the tiredness from the night before, it's more about discipline within your team to ensure people are sleeping when they need to. If you can't control that, then maybe you should look for another event.

Tim and the team spend a lot of time and effort working with the MSA to ensure the event is within the regulations laid out for a long distance touring assembly, and that appropriate breaks are built in to satisfy that.

I suppose what I'm saying John is acknowledge your concerns, but I think appropriate steps are already taken for the entrants to be sensible about their safety. Everyone has a responsibility to themselves and other road users to get home in one piece.

Cheers

Dates now confirmed - Starting in Lille on Wednesday 6th Sept and finishing at Rolduc on Saturday 9th Sept - we've had to bring it forward a day due to Rolduc not being available on Sunday 10th Sept... Thanks to Theo for negotiating us in on the Saturday instead...

Entry will open with the November mag, limited to 60 cars, so don't hang about as it's filled within days the last 3 times... and remember, incomplete entries will not be accepted, so make sure your crews are confirmed... you have a month to sort it out!
