 Welcome to NG Roadracing 2019

Over the last few years our club has grown from its original roots on Airfield circuits to become second to none in this country with our range of circuits, venues and entries. This is complimented by our vastly experienced Marshalling & Technical team.

Whether you follow us to most/all venues or contribute invaluable local knowledge when we visit your favourite circuit, we are proud to have you as part of our Òshow - Without your assistance there would be no racing!!!

 

LATEST NEWS  The observant among you will have noticed our calendar has changed a little this year.  These changes include

       We have dropped our usual pre season testing weekend at Pembrey in early March.

       We are now running two extra Friday tests prior to our events. These are at Brands Hatch and Pembrey. So we now have five events with Friday tests.

 

Once again we are the only club to visit Eight different Venues

BRANDS HATCH. Our season kicks off with a visit to the famous Kent circuit.  Our NG championship contenders will be keen to start their 2019 campaigns with a decent haul of points and If the last few years are anything to go by, they will have to do so amongst grids occupied by many British Championship names getting some early track experience prior to the BSB season

CADWELL PARK With its unique features this spectacular circuit has become a firm favourite with the NG faithful.

PEMBREY  This venue always provides great racing, and continues to feature strongly in our 2019 calendar. Look out for some special feature races. As usual on Saturday evening we will provide you with an evening meal and a free drink at this venue.

CASTLE COMBE  This has been by far the biggest ÒClub event in the country. In 2018 the crowds and races were second only to the British Superbike series. In 2019 it is sure to be one of the highlights of our season, The only modern two wheel racing event at Combe! Definitely not one to be missed!

OULTON PARK One of the hardest circuits to learn, Oulton is vastly popular among our racers, who annually have to Òmix it with the local Oulton specialists always a great day.

SNETTERTON 200  After the success of our return to this circuit in 2018, (Biblical flood excepted!) We are once again making a pilgrimage to this popular east England of circuit

ANGLESEY, Is arguably one of the best rider circuits in the country, and set right on the North West coast of Wales, it is certainly the most picturesque! Come and join us for this event at BritainÕs own Philip Island. Great excuse for a long summer weekend off work!

OTHER NEWS

In 2019 we continue to offer our racing members all of their favourite classes.

In addition to all of our NG Championship classes, we will continue to host the Desmo Due Ducati, Formula Pro-Stock, Suzuki Bandit Championships.

MARSHAL TRAINING 16th March 2019

We are holding Marshal Training this year on the Saturday of our 2 day meeting at Brands Hatch. This is open to all experienced Marshals who have not attended a training day for 3 years or more, and to all those new to Marshalling

TEST DAYS The Friday Test Day at Oulton, Cadwell and  Anglesey were so  well received in 2018 we have added Brands Hatch and Pembrey to the list for 2019 I would like to thank in advance anyone who is able to assist. On test days we will again be providing a breakfast, a cooked lunch or an evening meal, a snack pack and  a pint.

NEW MARSHALS ALWAYS NEEDED

As NG Roadracing grows the need for more Marshals increases.
Many of us started our Marshalling careers by being introduced by a friend already marshalling. So I ask you to look around and think if there are any folk you could introduce to the sport.
They will be sure to thank you for it, once they too discover that marshalling is what weekends were invented for.

Finally

Please complete your 2019 Availability Form and return to me ASAP
Ensure your details are written clearly, especially your post code & email address where available
As usual, your passes will then be sent to you a week or so prior to the date of each event you have volunteered for. Please keep this letter safe as it contains all of our dates.  Contact me during the season with any changes to your availability.  I look forward to seeing you track side soon

 

 

 

IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO A ROAD RACE MEETING OR SEEN ONE ON TV YOU WILL HAVE SEEN THE MARSHALS, EITHER REMOVING FALLEN BIKES AND RIDERS OR GIVING FLAG SIGNALS TO THOSE WHO ARE RACING.
WHO ARE THEY?
 All Marshals have one thing in common, their interest in motorcycle racing, and they all want to be more involved than just a spectator
Apart from this shared interest they can and do come from all walks of life, all ages over 18, and of course both sexes. (16 and over if accompanied)
HOW MUCH TIME DO THEY GIVE? - A Marshal is required to be on duty for the whole of practice and racing. They also attend a training day every three years.
ADVANTAGES OF BEING A MARSHAL
  Working with like-minded people. Shared interest.
  Close involvement with the action.
  Free admission to meetings.
  Satisfaction of doing a job critical to making racing safer.
Marshals are vital. Race meetings cannot take place without them .
HOW DO I BECOME A MARSHAL, AND WHAT WILL BE EXPECTED OF ME? - Organisers of race meetings are always happy to welcome and train new Marshals, most people start Marshalling with organisations such as ours that are local to where they live, and if they wish, may go on to also Marshal at top British National and International events. It is completely up to the individual as to how many meetings a year they attend. The only commitment required is that they turn up to those meetings for which they have volunteered.

Where ever you live, if you are interested in finding out more contact me (Nino) via email or telephone on 07803 933130.
