tim hunt Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 The twenty-seventh running of this biennial event will take place from 2nd - 4th October 2020. Entry went live early this morning and the capped maximum entry of 125 cars was soon reached. Within 18 hours the reserve list is already standing at 25 cars. I don' think these crews should be too concerned, experience has shown that multiple withdrawals are to be expected, after all several cars are still rebuild projects and owners are notoriously bullish on time scales. However, one would have thought that a non-refundable £50 element of the entry fee this time for those pulling out before 31/8 would have discouraged over optimistic entrants. Provisional entry list has the TR family well represented with12 x TR7 & Tr7 V8; 6 x TR6; 2 x TR5; 2 x TR4; 4 x TR4A and 2 x TR3A. Two remarkable entries are a 1936 Gloria Southern Cross ( a second attempt in this car for the intrepid Belgian crew) and a pre-war Super-Series Gnat (look it up if necessary). Nest year's Run will be my 23rd start and, hopefully, 21st finish in this event since 1974 in the same TR4A. It will be my 16th RBRR with Mike Hockaday co-driving, a record for a driver pairing - wish us luck! Tim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Freer Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 We have decided not to participate this time due to my knee injury. However we have volunteered for marshalling duties so we shall see you all probably at Lands End! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AndyR100 Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Next years run is poorly timed for me, but I am intending to be on the 2022 one - nothing like forward-planning! ...... Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hi Tim, I too, have an entry. It sold out in less than 5hrs, all 125 places, and now well into a reserve of 154. Incredible, and such an amazing event. This will be my 8th event. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
