Morning All!

So today is a hunker down day and wait out Storm Bleo. We have rescheduled GRCC Endurance Challenge 2026 to 8th November, hence shifting back the calendar one slot. We'll book a confirmed revised date for Round 10 with the centre next week and update the calendar.

For those who have booked in for today, we will keep all today's bookings for 8th November unless you tell us you want the fees back or booked onto another race day.

We will see you back trackside In a couple of weeks 😎

Much Love

Mark K

Here is the 2026/27 GRCC race calendar. Note Round 4 is on a Saturday due to centre availibility.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks to those who attended the AGM. We discussed everything from race classes and fees to race format.

👉Race fees have been held: Race fee £10 for all, Membership is £35 adults, £20 kids (16 or below at season start). Membership enters you into the championship and allows votes at the AGM/EGM
👉Race classes held but need 3 cars or more to justify their own heat. Less than 3, we'll have to run you in with another class/novice class if possible. If not possible, we won't run the class that day.
👉We will still run a novice/kids heat where there is demand
👉No change to race or championship format
👉No change to committee
👉We start back on Sunday October 18th October 10am for the Practise meeting. Full calendar will be published soon

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer season at SDRCC or wherever else you race. We'll see you trackside super soon😎

Much Love,

Mark K
