Welcome to NG Roadracing 2020

Over the last few years our club has grown from its original roots on Airfield circuits to become second to none in this country with our range of circuits, venues and entries. This is complimented by our vastly experienced Marshalling & Technical team.  Whether you follow us to most/all venues or contribute invaluable local knowledge when we visit your favourite circuit, we are proud to have you as part of our “show” - Without your assistance there would be no racing!!!

 

**** We visit  Seven of the country’s top venues in 2020 ****

PEMBREY Our 2020 season kicks off at this venue which always provides great racing, Look out for some special feature races. As usual on Saturday evening we will provide you with an evening meal and a “free drink” at this venue.

 

OULTON PARK One of the hardest circuits to learn, Oulton is vastly popular among our racers, who annually have to “mix it” with the local Oulton “specialists” and the odd BSB contender. always a great day.

 

DONINGTON PARK Already vastly popular with racers and spectators, this world famous circuit now has new lease holders, who have made many very welcome improvements to facilities at this venue. As you will notice from our Calendar we are racing on the Friday and Saturday this year. Friday being a Bank Holiday

 

SNETTERTON 200  Since our return here a couple of seasons ago, Snett’ has already become a firm favourite in our calendar.

 

CADWELL PARK With its unique features this spectacular circuit has become very popular with  the NG faithful.

 

ANGLESEY, Is arguably one of the best rider circuits in the country, and set right on the North West coast of Wales, it is certainly the most picturesque! Come and join us for this event at Britain’s own “Philip Island”. Great excuse for a long summer weekend off work!

 

CASTLE COMBE   This is by far the biggest “Club” event in the country. In 2019 the crowds and races were second only to the British Superbike series. In 2020 it is sure to be one of the highlights of our season. In 2020 this is the only two wheel racing event at Combe! Definitely not one to be missed!

I would like to thank in advance anyone who is able to assist us on these Test/Track days we will again be providing a breakfast, a cooked lunch or an evening meal, a snack pack and  a pint.

 

NEW MARSHALS ALWAYS NEEDED

As NG Roadracing grows the need for more Marshals increases.
Many of us started our Marshalling careers by being introduced by a friend already marshalling. So I ask you to look around and think if there are any folk you could introduce to the sport.
They will be sure to thank you for it, once they too discover that marshalling is what weekends were invented for.

 

Finally

Please complete your 2020 Availability Form and return to me ASAP
Ensure your details are written clearly, especially your post code & email address where available
As usual, your passes etc. will then be sent to you a week or so prior to the date of each event you have volunteered for.

IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO A ROAD RACE MEETING OR SEEN ONE ON TV YOU WILL HAVE SEEN THE MARSHALS, EITHER REMOVING FALLEN BIKES AND RIDERS OR GIVING FLAG SIGNALS TO THOSE WHO ARE RACING.

 

WHO ARE THEY? –
 All Marshals have one thing in common, their interest in motorcycle racing, and they all want to be more involved than just a spectator
Apart from this shared interest they can and do come from all walks of life, all ages over 18, and of course both sexes. (16 and over if accompanied)

HOW MUCH TIME DO THEY GIVE? –

 A Marshal is required to be on duty for the whole of practice and racing. They also attend a training day every three years.

ADVANTAGES OF BEING A MARSHAL
· Working with like-minded people. Shared interest.
· Close involvement with the action.
· Free admission to meetings.
· Satisfaction of doing a job critical to making racing safer.
Marshals are vital. Race meetings cannot take place without them .

HOW DO I BECOME A MARSHAL, AND WHAT WILL BE EXPECTED OF ME? –

Organisers of race meetings are always happy to welcome and train new Marshals, most people start Marshalling with organisations such as ours that are local to where they live, and if they wish, may go on to also Marshal at top British National and International events. It is completely up to the individual as to how many meetings a year they attend. The only commitment required is that they turn up to those meetings for which they have volunteered.

Where ever you live, if you are interested in finding out more contact me, (Nino) via email or telephone on 07803 933130.
