Startrax press release BELLE VUE Sunday 10th November A reminder anyone wishing to reserve tables for the Carvery in the restaurant should contact the stadium direct. For information, after 4 years of pegging the finale at £22, with some regret the price has gone up slightly for 2019 - The reasons is, since we took on the F2 Finale in 2017, the contribution on the day to the overall series pot added to the 5 figure contribution already made to the F1 pot - For 2 years, we absorbed those additional costs but with costs and rents increasing, regrettably it has necessitated a small increase which will be pegged in 2020/2021 The overall fund contribution from this meeting is a substantive five figure sum. The increase aligns it with the Semi Finals - but Sunday represents much better Value! We thought we would advise and justify the reasons for the modest increase. Reality, the price should have increased in 2017 to cover additional costs You can as always save £2 a ticket by ordering in advance - contact the office until 12 Noon Saturday 9th and pay by credit or debit card and save Telephone 01253 713754 Tue Friday 9.30 - 5.pm and Sat 9 - 12 noon Every little helps!

From Incarace:- Regrettably, heavy rain has forced the postponement of Mildenhall on Saturday 26 October. Mildenhall has been cancelled due to the weather we have had & due tomorrow, we have left this as long as we could in recognition that so many Dutch competitors have travelled to the UK this weekend, the F2 World of Shale Championship will be switched to Northampton on Sunday 27 October. Northampton will be opening @ 8am on Sunday morning. The F2 Grand National Championship will not be run at Northampton on Sunday 27 October. More news will follow.

Overnight Info • For everyone who is planning to attend both meetings this weekend and are camping or staying in motorhomes etc we are asking that you please stay at Mildenhall Stadium overnight (if you have not booked to stay anywhere else) and not travel to Northampton International until Sunday morning. This request is due to the pits being extended at Northampton as per the World Masters event and the remaining car park area will be for disabled parking and coaches only.
