Introduction to Endurance Trials @ Luttrellstown - (Wed) 17 Jan 18

Format

Posted: January 6, 2018 4:18 PM

• Convene in Luttrellstown Golf Club at 8:00 on 17/01/18.
• Powerpoint presentation on Endurance Trials – everything from driving, navigation, car preparation and even marshalling (for those who want to get involved but don’t want to compete just now).
• Hand-out of typical Navigation Road Book (I will need to know how many sheets to prepare, so get your order in if you are a budding navigator)
• Anyone wanting to drive a section (approximately 3 – 4 km) of a typical selective can either (slowly!) take their own car or go around the selective a convoy in an Endurance car driven by an experienced competitor. A limited number of Endurance spec cars will be on hand, so anyone wanting a seat will have to let me know asap. This is not an opportunity to practice – speeds will be controlled by the organisers.
• When the convoy returns to the clubhouse, there will be an informal session, where individuals can corner experienced competitors, be they drivers or navigators, and pick their brains (!).

Introduction to Endurance Trials @ Luttrellstown - (Wed) 17 Jan 18 @ 8PM

By kind permission of Luttrellstown Hotel and Golf Club, ALMC will host an ‘Introduction to Endurance Trials’ on Wednesday 17/01/18 @ 8pm.
The evening will consist of a number of talks by experienced drivers, navigators and car preparation experts. For those who want to experience a selective, there will be the opportunity to drive 3.0 KM of one of the Luttrellstown selectives, at speeds controlled by ALMC members. (Unless the roads are damaged by heavy rain between now and then, they should be passable in a road car without a sump-guard). People can then return to the club house for a question & answer session
Please note – this is intended for newcomers, so any old hands hoping for a sneaky practice will be disappointed – they won’t be allowed out and anyway, it will be in the ‘wrong’ direction!

As this is a first, we have no idea of how many will attend, so we must have notice of those who intend to participate, as the hotel will need to know numbers for catering. There is no charge for attending. Please please let as many of your fellow petrol heads know of this unprecedent opportunity. We particularly want complete beginners to attend and the evening is directed at them, although all are welcome, especially those competitors from special stage rallying who want affordable fun.

Anyone who would like to attend can let me know by email to:
