Rockingham ‘send-off’ event reduced to one day

-

Rockingham’s farewell meeting – the last race event to be held at the venue before it closes to motorsport – has been reduced to a single day after receiving a lower than anticipate­d entry.

The event will now run on November 24 only, with races for single-seaters, Ginettas, Caterhams, Sports/saloons and a one-hour enduro. Organisers are asking for entries sooner rather than later for the one-off event.

“The entries weren’t quite what we’d hoped, or certainly not what the expression­s of interest led us to believe, and rather than stringing it out, we wanted to put on one big day for everybody,” said Michael Galjaardt – head of sales and marketing at the Corby circuit.

“It should still be a good party for all and we’re hoping [once] some of the other races are out of the way, with the Walter Hayes at the weekend, and we have Race of Remembranc­e next weekend, hopefully we’ll pick up some more entries.”

Demostrati­on cars and race entries are still being accepted, via the circuit website.
