The North East Motorcycle Racing Club have joined with the Darlington and District Motor Club to revive the Battle of Britain meeting at Croft Circuit. These races were very popular in the 60’s and 70’s prior to the closure of the venue in 1981.
NEMCRC Officials in discussions with Car Club have agreed to revive the meeting to coincide with the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain in 1940.
Croft was a Canadian Bomber Base during World War 2 and contact has been made with the Royal Canadian Air Force to commemorate their efforts and achieve an input from that organisation.
The meeting was always and will remain a mixed Bike and Car occasion with the NEMCRC having secured the final round of the 2015 FSRA/ACU British Sidecar Championship for the event.
There will be a limit of 80 solo entries (plus reserves) for the programme of eight solo races (250GP to 1200 unlimited). Competitors being split into two groups on timed ability in practice.
A special Battle of Britain Trophy has been struck for the overall winner, with special awards for other placings at this prestigious event.
Entry Forms are available on the NEMCRC website www.nemcrc.co.uk so get yours in early!!
(There will be no Club Championship Races at this meeting!!)
Further details will be announced shortly.
Croft Circuit will stage a pre-race Practise Day on Friday 25
