750MC OPTS TO VISIT PE MB RE Y NOT ANGLESEY
The 750 Motor Club will visit Pembrey for the first time since 2013 next year, as the south Wales circuit replaces Anglesey.
The circuit has gone through major work in the past two years, which has increased the number of layouts it can use for race meetings.
The first new sequence will follow the opening Hatchets, Spitfires and Dibeni corners. Drivers can now continue straight on before heading into a new tight left-hand corner and then a right-hand bend which takes them back onto the existing track.
Additional corners have also been added on the back straight ahead of the Honda Curve.
“It’s important to offer our members the opportunity to try different circuits,” said Giles Groombridge of 750MC. “We’ve not been to Pembrey since 2013. Lots of drivers haven’t raced there. They’ve made some changes to the circuit which will hopefully make the racing more interesting.”
He added that as one of the “major” UK motorsport clubs, the 750MC is obligated to visit multiple venues.
“As one of the major clubs it’s important to try and support all the venues around the UK,” he said. “Unfortunately we can’t go everywhere every year.
“I’m sure we’ll be back at Anglesey in 2018 and we’ve had some very successful meetings there in recent years. It was just time for a change.”
The championship will host 20 race meetings in 2018, starting with a March 17/18 opener at Donington Park, Croft, Oulton Park, Brands Hatch and Silverstone are all among the circuits with the only venue change beingpembrey infor Anglesey.
