Preparations for Somerset

After the long summer break we are finally back in the workshop again for some last minute fettling ahead of the next race at RNAS Merryfield in two weekends time. We have finished fitting the new 6 point harness as well as replacing the side impact foam which was looking a bit tatty. All that's left now is to set up the camber and tracking and we are ready.

For those of you who want to accompany us and cheer us on, the race schedule is as follows:

          0830hrs – Teams Arrive and Sign On

          0900hrs – Scrutineering Opens

          0930hrs – Team Briefing 1

          1030hrs – 1130hrs – Practice

          1140hrs – Team Briefing 2

          1200hrs – 1600hrs – Formula 24 Regional Heat

          1630hrs – Prize Giving

We will be running this as a long day trip, leaving from school at 5:00 in the morning and getting back between 8 and 9 depending on how quickly the team pack up!

If you want to make your own way up head for the M5 and take junction 25 onto the A358, heading for Illminster. After about 8 miles take the left turn, sign posted for Ilton. Once on this road, follow the signs for 'Buisness Park'. RNAS Merryfield is a short distance beyond the business park. To check out the route yourself click HERE.
