The Place

RKB Motorsport in conjunction with BSB is trying to schedule two full days of testing for sidecars at either Donington or Snetterton circuit. This would be mid-week in April possibly in the week immediately after Easter. 

Cost will be £200 per day - Sidecars will run 20-minutes testing each hour, 9-5 .

 

Levels of interest would be useful to gauge at this point, this is open to all sidecar classes, British – Club – Classics, F1 & F2 

If this is of interest to your team please reply to this email, so we can keep you informed of further details to follow.

Snetterton practice 10-11th April kick-starts 2021 season
Posted on 19/03/2021 by Steve English
Once again Roger Body and RKB-F1 Motorsport, ahead of the new season have delivered on a promise made to provide two days of pre-season testing and practice. This will take place at the centrally placed Snetterton 300 circuit.

This opportunity is the result of huge effort by Roger with great cooperation on the part of MSV against a difficult backdrop of a COVID affected 2021 schedule.

The weekend of 10-11th April is earmarked for the track-time, with Saturday 10th as an exclusive sidecar booking. Three twenty-minute sessions each hour will cater for F1 national licence holders and F2 national licence holders with the third session for club, classic and others. This will be a full day of sidecar action at an entry cost of £220.00 per team.

Sunday 11th is slightly more restricted in that we will be sharing the track-time with “No Limits Trackdays” who have generously allowed us to participate in their programme. As a result, we are obliged to restrict Sunday participation to F1 and F2 National licence holders ONLY. The cost for the Sunday is £180.00.

Garage rental is available on a “first come/first served” basis with two outfits permitted in each garage at a cost of £70.00 per garage (£35.00 per team). There is exclusive sidecar availability on Saturday, although Sunday will be limited to eight garages.

Because the two days are effectively leased by two separate entities, and there are strict COVID conditions in place, Saturday sidecars will not be allowed to remain in the paddock OR anywhere else overnight. You MUST leave the circuit, and re-join Sunday morning.

Whilst this might seem to be an inconvenience, we have no alternative other than to obey the conditions laid down by the Government guidelines and circuit owners.

As stated, this opportunity has taken no small degree of energy and effort to bring about, so we are asking as many sidecar teams as possible to support the initiative and participate.


Bookings for BOTH DAYS will be online via bemsee.net from Wednesday 24th March

Will essential travel restrictions be lifted before this event takes place?

To answer my own question

Travel
The ‘stay at home’ rule will end on 29 March but many restrictions will remain in place. People should continue to work from home where they can and minimise the number of journeys they make where possible, avoiding travel at the busiest times and routes. Travel abroad will continue to be prohibited, other than for a small number of permitted reasons. Holidays abroad will not be allowed, given it will remain important to manage the risk of imported variants and protect the vaccination programme. The government has launched a new taskforce to review global travel which will report on 12 April.
