To All Club Members,
Last Year, 2011, was the first Spa Classic Event held in the same style as the LeMans Classic; it was a great success & we are publicising
it as another event that will be of interest to you all as it features vehicles from the same era as the GT40s.
We suggest that interested member look at the web sites listed below for further information.
www.spa-classic.com
www.grandstandmotorsports.co.uk
www.traveldestinations.co.uk
You may of course make bookings via any company of your choice or make your own arrangements for tickets, travel & accommodation.
We will list this on the club events page & ask any member, who books to attend, to list their names on the events page so that everyone is
aware of others travelling; if we have sufficient interest we will think about organising a club dedicated parking area.
Regards
David Schaife
Club Secretary

Fellow track day enthusiasts, you are invited to double your pleasure by coming 'up North' for the same fuel costs. Many of you may be familiar with Cadwell - Britian's mini Spa/Nurbergring, however, those that don't and want to have a go at something about 10 times more exiting than an airfield circuit please come along ; fast laps to learn the lines can easily be arranged on the day.
Arrangements have been made for a Caldwell evening track session on Sat 28th April from 5.30pm to 8.00pm for £99. Book with www.motorsportvision.co.uk or call Nick Rice at 08434533000 or 01474875213 quoting GT40 Enthusiasts Club to get the discount.
Cadwell is under half an hour from Blyton and for evening accommodation you can either stay at the Black Horse (Donnington on Bain - 01507343640 - near Cadwell) or any of the following near Blyton.

In the Members Area, we have updated the GT40 Register. There are 887 listings and almost 10,000 images. The Register table is much more functional, now you can sort by field and download the GT40 Register car list. This is private information so we would ask that you to protect it as you do the Membership Directory.
The source data is from Tim Martin, our Treasurer. However, we need your help because we may not have the latest information on all the 40's. If you have pictures, know of any lost cars or have any changes to what we have please let me know. To contact the Webmaster, click here.
Here are some track days that maybe of interest to our members and to the public:
