The Classic 2CV Racing Club Ltd will be on display at the “Race Retro” show, held on February 24-26th 2017 at Stoneleigh Park, near Warwick.

Car 23, prepared and driven by Ash Carter and in the eye-catching livery of Liqui-Moly, title sponsors of the Liqui-Moly Citroen 2CV 24 Hour Race at Snetterton, August 18-20, will be on the Club stand.

So, come and see us at the show – Hall 2, stand 1-422. Visit www.raceretro.com for more details about the show

The Classic 2CV Racing Club recently asked members and interested parties to fill in a survey, in order to better understand what people want from the club and from the club’s racing events. This has been the first such survey since 2007.

A few trends from the survey results:

• An early announcement of the race schedule really helps teams and drivers
• Costs, costs, costs, costs, costs, costs.
• Sprints should consist of two, 20-min races
• 24hr should be in August, ideally a bank holiday
• Strong preference for the 24hr at Snetterton
• A lack of drivers more a concern than cars for the 24hr
• Scrutineering needs to be improved
• Remaining with Weber carburettors is preferred

Thank you to all of you who responded to the survey! If you want to read the full results, click here for part 1 and click here for part 2

2017 race dates
March 18th	Oulton Park	Rounds 1 & 2

The race dates for the 2017 season of 2CV racing have been announced.

Each meeting will be a ‘double-header’, meaning two 20 minute races on the day, or over the weekend – more details on individual races will appear on this site as soon as timetables are published for that event (usually 2 weeks before the event)

Croft will feature a 2hr enduro race.

The 24 hour race this year will be held at Snetterton, the weekend before the bank holiday.

Have you ever fancied entering a 24 hour race? As well as being great fun, it’s something that not many racing drivers can claim to have taken part in.

With 4 drivers in each car (usually), there are often teams on the look out for extra drivers to share the driving. Up to 6 hours driving for each driver, based on 4 drivers.

For more information on what racing in a 2CV for 24 hours is all about, read this article.

There are a number of cars available for the 24 hour race this year. Some are looking for one or two drivers, and some are available to hire for a complete team – some with support.

A drive with an established team will usually start from £1200, often with catering provided.

To find out more about the options available to get on the grid for the 24 hour race, please send a message to Katy Storey – [email protected] – and let us know what you’re looking for!
