15/16 JUNE - BROOKLANDS "DOUBLE-TWELVE"
By: Ian F Date: February 6, 2024, 9:58 am
---------------------------------------------------------
This first post of this topic will be updated as and when
information is received or becomes available. If you are
interested in entering, please add a post with the % probability
of entering and I will add your name to the list of entrants
below. This information will help the committee plan the
required resources.
DATE:
15/16 June, entrants will need to be on-site and set up prior to
the public admission time.
VENUE:
Brooklands Museum.
DESCRIPTION:
Recreating the atmosphere of the iconic "Double-Twelve" that
took pace here in the 1920s. This was the UKs answer to the
Le-Mans 24 hour race, but they were not allowed to race at night
due to the local residents. Consequently, the race was split
into two 12 hour sessions.
CKGB activities to be confirmed but in addition to static
displays (under gazebos provided by Brooklands), there expected
to be extended runs on the "Mercedes World" track on the
Saturday. On Sunday there are expected to be demonstration runs
on the start/finish straight plus runs up "Test-Hill".
Period dress is encouraged, and we will be setting out our
static display like a period race bay, so bring and period
tools, equipment, etc with you.
Cyclekarts can be left on site for Saturday evening, but there
is no camping on-site.
CKGB LEAD:
Stefan.

Plans are getting clearer with Brooklands so we will be there on
Sat and Sun. Sat's activities will be focussed on the Mercedes
Benz World track with opportunities for extended parade laps of
the track. Sun will follow the familiar format as described
above. CK's can stay on-site overnight Saturday.
We'll be trying to make sure our static display area has lots of
stuff appropriate to a period race bay, so have a think about
what you might bring. Oh and period attire really does help and
might win you a prize!
Full details to follow.

BROOKLANDS UPDATE
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to camp at Brooklands.
However, if required we can drop off the CKs on the Friday, but
unsure of timing at the moment.
I have booked into Chertsey campsite, and I think some others
are there as well ;D
