With the 24 hour race at Snetterton looming (27/28th August), it's time to reveal which teams will be in which garage. There are now 32 entrants (including 4 from the European series in garages 11/12), and there are only 26 garages at Snetterton circuit, so some will have 3 or possibly 4 cars squeezing into them!

Over 120 Drivers will be racing. The youngest is just 16 and a half while the oldest is 74. Average age is 43. Around a dozen drivers have International race experience and another dozen are novices. There are a number of previous race winners in different cars and it is expected to be very close at the top in qualifying and throughout the race.

Notes on the Euro classes in garages 11 / 12:

Cat A for Améliorée (car 147): Use a different shell to UK but they have an original 2CV engine with little changes and should not be much faster than the UK Classic class.

Cat H for Hybrid (car 22 – Team Pegase): These have a BMW 2 cylinder bike engine and some other modifications. Expected to be around 10 seconds a lap quicker than the UK Classic class. Drivers from Team Pegase were in the 2010 race in a UK car and finished 6th.

Cat P for Proto (car 170 - http://www.cgsracingteam.be/):  These can go to 652cc (VISA engines) and change the carburetion to double Webers or injection. Car 170 has injection. Expected to be slower than the Hybrid class.

Cat X for eXperimental (car 166 - http://www.biodeuche.be): Used for demonstrating new technologies. At the 24 Hour Race in Spa last year there were 2 cars from a university - one with a 100% electrical 2cv and another with a KERS system, like in F1. There was also a Burton with a 2cv chassis, and the 166 car which ran on 100% biofuel.  We await to see how experimental the car will be in the UK.
