MGLive!
2010 dates confirmed at last!

MGLive! event at the Silverstone Circuit as Friday 4th to
Sunday 6th June 2010 and also announced a very special feature
- the full motor racing programme will be on the Grand Prix
circuit!
Celebrating 60 years of annual MG Car Club meetings at Silverstone
The MG Car Club has held its annual meeting at Silverstone each
year since 1959 so this year the Club is set to celebrate 60
glorious years of consecutive meetings at the iconic circuit.
Club racing on the Grand Prix circuit is something special
It's a rare honour for an amateur motor club to be able to run
a full race meeting on the full 3.2 mile Grand Prix circuit.
The switch from the shorter International Circuit the Club is
usually allocated will allow MG Car Club competitors to experience
the thrill of Stowe and Abbey – famous corners which will
now roar to the sound of MGs from across nine decades. Ron Gammons,
who has played a lead role in negotiating the new circuit hire
contract, is clearly delighted as it "will be a once in
a lifetime opportunity for many MG racers to enjoy the experience
of lapping the full circuit." It will almost certainly
not be available again so it will be memorable for both competitors
and spectators. More
One consequence of the change to the longer circuit is the Club
Chief Marshal will be looking for volunteers as additional marshals
to cover the additional marshal posts around the Grand Prix
circuit. So why not get a close up view of the action on trackside
by volunteering as a marshal for the event. Marion Quarrington
volunteered last year and is enthusiastically doing so again
for 2010, so why not call Ian Quarrington or Marion to see how
you can help in 2010? Call Ian on 01480 210783 or if
you are visiting Brown & Gammons at Baldock, discuss what
is involved with Ron Gammons. Alternatively call Club Office
and speak with Julian White or Chris Seaward on 01235 555552.
