New GT3 Aston to debut at Le Mans
750 MOTOR CLUB
The 750 Motor Club has added a new fixture at Anglesey this September in an effort to rearrange the majority of the races lost in its March meeting, which was abandoned due to snow.
The Donington Park season opener on March 1718 was abandoned on the opening day with sporadic blizzard-like conditions, and forecasts suggested more on the way. No races had been completed.
The club has been able to replace many of the lost races by slotting them into three September meetings.
Hot Hatch and Bikesports races have been added to the existing 750MC Donington event on September 1-2, RGB Sports 1000 and Club Enduro will run in the new meeting at Anglesey on September 8, while MR2 races will be added to the Grand Finals event at Castle Combe on September 15.
This was done even though the 750MC was not obliged to replace the lost running as qualifying sessions were originally completed.
“We’re trying our best to rearrange as many of the races as possible, but it’s quite a challenge as finding circuits with track time available at such late notice is quite difficult,” 750MC competitions secretary
Giles Groombridge said.
Competitors from the abandoned event will not be charged extra for the rearranged rounds.
Reigning MR2 champion Shaun Traynor was delighted: “They didn’t have to do it. It’s part and parcel of the regs we signed up to that we’ve done qualifying so our money’s gone. For them to give us a chance to rearrange it was really good. I know they [750MC] lost a lot of money, especially with rearranging this.”
