There's currently five mechanics on the list.

127 has cancelled, and FWJ has been restricted to only one booking. 1 Frankie Wainman Jnr28 Thomas Boyer75 Thomas Stevenson175 Karl Hawkins212 Danny Wainman231 Daniel van Spijker276 Mark Poole293 Eliot Smith303 Karl Moseley307 Tim Warwick326 Mark Sargent332 Izaac Beaumont363 Dan Clifford474 Steve Booth495 Richard Howarth546 Jay Hewitt555 Frankie Wainman Jnr JnrH10 Jelle TesselaarH54 Sierd de VriesThree Dutchmen for a Christmas meeting must be some sort of record? There's also a Dutch lad booked in for the Ministox - H525 Nigel de Kock.

Number TBA, his licence is currently being processed. It says 303 cos I've assumed that it's the same Karl Mosley that raced as 303 a few years ago. He's actually down as 249 but that's Joff Gibson; think he's racing Joff's car. Sorry, I should have made that clear. Joff himself is racing in the Micro Bangers. Is everyone following this? Booked in twice for a double portion of mince pies.

Booking list as of this morning. Great to see two Dutch drivers making the trip. 1 Frankie Wainman Jnr28 Thomas Boyer75 Thomas Stevenson127 Austin Moore175 Karl Hawkins212 Danny Wainman231 Daniel van Spijker276 Mark Poole293 Eliot Smith303 Karl Moseley307 Tim Warwick326 Mark Sargent332 Izaac Beaumont363 Dan Clifford474 Steve Booth495 Richard Howarth515 Frankie Wainman546 Jay Hewitt555 Frankie Wainman Jnr JnrH54 Sierd de Vries

Statement from BriSCA regarding the meeting format. It is disappointing to read one or two comments and would respectfully like to make a couple of comments. Whilst we respect the sentiment behind the observations, the format for this event was planned some time ago and enormous effort overall has been invested into the meeting 'for the good of the sport' with an expectation of perhaps late 40's BriSCA F1's. A reasoned expectation with last years event attracting 46 cars. The format has been agreed with the BSCDA and has followed a similar pattern since inception with the last F1 race being the Gala Night Final always designed as the feature highlight. This has always been the case. We are delighted at the surge in bookings in the last 5 days - you will recall we published an 'early' list several days ago which was '40' - We have not turned anyone down for a booking. Adults admission prices are exactly the same as 2015 and have not been increased in line with other Championships to £22. There are some excellent races this evening, all with big grids of cars, one must also be mindful of a strict curfew limit for the venue and with increased grids the greater possibility of some stoppages, Thanks to all race teams, the numbers are excellent, you have note drivers in some cases are 'swopping' cars. Over 60 F1 drivers is excellent notwithstanding BriSCA F2 bookings are marginally ahead of 2015 together with an impressive entry of V8 Stock Cars. Even the weather Gods appear to be smiling with an uplift in temperatures and the rain due to fade away at lunch time giving, hopefully a pleasant late afternoon and evening. We very much hope you enjoy the event and understand the explanation.

Car numbers for the support formula are also impressive - 53 BriSCA F2s and 39 V8s. Statement from BriSCA :- For those who are worried about parking, particularly on Landour Street and area we can confirm that we have security patrolling those areas to hopefully alleviate any problems in the past from time to time.
