9th April 2017: TDC Holfeld Test Trial (Autotest)

Tests are designed on 95% sealed surface. Very much designed with novices in mind, so they are not complicated. Brain fade shouldn't be an issue neither with the amount of equipment that will be put down, it will be obvious where to go.

Very classic car friendly event, as in no muck or shit.

Get those entries in for an event not to be missed.

As this will be the first qualifying round of the 2017 TDC Club Championship, you might like to take a look at the driver classifications and list of the 11 planned rounds. Best of luck and keep the tail out!

The format for the event is as follows:

Tests:
• 5 Tests completed 4 times.

• Please go straight to your relevant starting test after drivers briefing. All drivers will be assigned a starting group.
• Countdown Start. Marshals will count you down to start. No hanging around in the queues.
Parking
• Marshals will be on hand to help with parking.
Before Event Start:
• Walking the tests is allowed up to drivers briefing. To facilitate with the length of the tests, cars are allowed drive and learn at NON-COMPETITIVE PACE. Any driver caught learning the tests at a speed deemed competitive by any marshal will receive penalties which at minimum will be a Fail and may include disqualification.
• This year we’re are using magnetic car numbers. These are to facilitate double drivers in only having 1 number on the car during a test. These numbers are costly to produce and we require them back with your final timecard. We require a €10 deposit for your car numbers, you’ll be reimbursed when the numbers are returned. Please bring exact change for this deposit.
Event Start:
• Please queue in running order to start with. Once underway, it’s up to you to keep moving. Please keep a move on during the day. If you are slow you will hold everyone up at the end of day waiting for results.
• Please allow double drivers to skip the queue, within reason. If at all possible, try to facilitate them.
• Any and all obstacles are a 5 second penalty if touched.
• ALL FINISH LINES are stop astride. Front 2 wheels Stop and then pull up to marshal.
• The non-competitive sections are to be driven at low speed, absolutely no messing.
• Please put your car numbers on your drivers/passenger doors. For double drivers, only 1 number on the car. If there are 2 numbers, both drivers will receive the line/pylon/fail.
• For beginners, please ensure that you are familiar with your test before you start. Arrows have been put in place, but tests will still require learning
• Seat belts to be worn at all times. Also, please keep your windows rolled up.
• All tests are visible at all times by the marshals; they can see you, even if you can’t see them. Obey any instructions or flags given by the marshals, they are there for your safety.
Lunch/Breakfast:
• There will be a 45 min lunch halt at 1300. This is mainly for the marshals to get a break. There will be a burger van on site for lunch and breakfast from 0830. Breakfast rolls etc. available.
Event Finish:
• Please hand in your completed time-cards and car numbers as soon as you possibly can. Results for this event can be timely if competitors fail to do this. Marshals may ask you for completed timecards.

This event is tasking on marshals, please comply gracefully with instructions. Thank you and enjoy it!

Great event today. Many thanks to Larry, the organisers and marshals for their hard work in organising a super days fun.

Great turn out to a really good venue.

A great event. Thanks to all involved. Pity the timekeeping was not up to scratch. So many mistakes in the results. Test 4 seemed to be the problem.

Brilliant event. Thanks and well done to all organisers and marshals.

Many thanks to all marshals for their day. TDC really appreciates all who give up their Sunday to help support our events.

As stated on the day, we were testing newly acquired timing equipment. Unfortunately, there were some issues through the day. We hope to have these issues ironed out by our next event. It will be business as usual for then.

All in all, a great day out, thanks to everyone involved and to Mr.Holfeld for use of his premises.

Massive thanks to everyone involved in making the event happen yesterday, it was a fantastic days fun. teething problems can only be expected for the first time with new equipment. its necessary to bear in mind that people gave up their sunday to allow others to have fun - a few mistakes can easily be fixed.
Massive thanks again to all involved, i am now 6 tyres worse off Laughing

Tyres are traded in against fun.
