We set off for Italy tomorrow, exactly one year since our last 4 hrs race.
Peter Lindén returns to make a 3-man team of Phil Atkinson, Peter Lindén and Hugh Brasher.
The pit team includes two new members, joining the old guard, Clive Chapman on fuel and Chris Halfknight helping with tyres.
Machinery remains the same as in 2020, with our pair of Suzuki XR69s, with just a few minor modifications.
A big part of the objective for this event is to simply restart endurance racing; its been too long and we will inevitably be a little rusty. That will need to change, as we need to hit the ground running to be competitive next season.
We are pleased to report that there are around 30 entries, so the worries about a post-covid collapse seem unfounded. It should be a great race. !
Thank you to all our valued sponsors for helping to make it happen, but especially Graham Marchant at Continental Tyres and Ian and Sharon at MC Electronics, who have been steadfast in their support through the pandemic.
The race starts at 18.00 hrs on Saturday 9th October.
