We don't charge for capmping, however our club supports the St. Barnabas Hospice charity,  and we ask that you donate what you can afford to that cause. There are height restrictors also on the access road which must remain locked. 

If you have a tall van or caravan, you will need to contact a club official at the site to gain access through these.

Directions:  From the M23/A23, continue south to the outskirts of Brighton, and take the exit signposted A27 Worthing. Once on the A27, (from East or West), follow signs to Shoreham. Take the turnoff which is midway across the Shoreham Flyover, over the river Adur. Take the South exit from the roundabout under the flyover, signposted A283 Shoreham. You will pass the Red Lion, and the Amsterdam pubs on a mini roundabout. Continue South to the Shoreham roundabout. Turn right at The Bridge Inn, over the river. First right after the bridge is the entrance to the track, but you cannot turn here. You must proceed to next roundabout and double back.

Coordinates: Grid ref: TQ210049 Lat: 50:49:53N (50.83143) Lon: 0:16:57W (-0.28257)

 

Camping and pitting: After entering through the green gate, with the track right in front of you, take a left turn through the earth embankment, then turn immediately to your right. The camping area is ahead of you marked out with fencing. Please use the rough area to the left as car parking, and the flat area to the right for camping. A clear path for car access must be kept open at all times.

 

Please help us to help you by disposing of your waste sensibly. No open fires please. We have a large pitting area where cars are normally welcome to park. However for this weekend, we will not be allowing cars to enter the pitting area. There are no covered pits, so if you want to be shaded form the sun, you will need to bring your own gazebo/umbrella/marquee. Generators are allowed in the pits and camping areas. Please be considerate of other racers with the siting of your genny, and please turn them off by 9:00pm in the evening. In the pitting area, generators should be sited close to the fence at the perimiter of the area.

 

Toilets: There is a public toilet block on the site, approx three minutes walk from the camping area. Water is available from a tap situated opposite the public toilet block on the other side of the car park. Both are shown on the map of the site on our website (Click on the "Find Us").

We also have three portaloos within our pit area, one of which is dedicated to female use only.

We have no mains electricity.

 

Food & Refreshments: Our newly refurbished kitchen will be running on Saturday and Sunday, serving burgers and the ever popular bacon sandwiches. Teas, coffees and soft drinks are available on site. There are a number of small restaurants and takeaways in Shoreham, a 5 minute walk over the bridge, including an Italian, A fish and chip shop, a number of Indian curry houses, and a burger takeaway. There are half a dozen pubs around the track area, most of which sell pub grub.

Alternative accomodation: There are also numerous B+B's situated in Shoreham By Sea, and within a few miles of the track.

There are some alternative campsites in the surrounding area.

 Timetable for the National at Cotswold is now available.... 

For 2012 the championship was restructured to the "best 4 from 6" rounds to reduce the expenses of drivers in light of the ever increasing cost of fuel and traveling. 2012 will again consist of 2 classes, the very successful 13.5T TC3 class and the up and coming and highly competitive 21.5T TC4 class. Tyres will be the same proprietary STCC tyres as used in the previous years championship. All STCC marked tyres may be used.

Classes will be...13.5 open, 17.5 blinky and Mardave to spec rules. All motors to be used from BRCA listings

  

 Corally/STCC 2012 Round 1 - Eastbourne - Complete meeting results

21.5T Podium                                                13.5T Podium
            

I didn't get time to watch the 21.5T racing as I was busy prepping our car, but have asked some of the more senior drivers in that class if they could provide a short report, any times guys ;) The top 5 FTQ slots went to:  Darren Tickner, Mark Trinder, Lisa Keen, Dominic Shore and Trevor Bailey.

In the 13.5T the top 5 FTQ went to: Mark Fuller, Bryan Loynes, Rickey Copsey, Daniel Vaness and Tom Reynolds. In final 1, Mark took off and led from start to finish with a battle going on behind him between Ricky and Bryan. Ricky's car cried enough and he pulled off leaving Bryan to take second and Tim Hancock taking 3rd followed by Daniel in 4th. In round 2 it was again Mark who led from the start, only to take too much of one kerb after a couple of laps which let the closely following Bryan and Ricky through together, there was then a full on race between Ricky and Bryan with Mark watching closely from 3rd waiting for the inevitable for half the rest of the final, then following a forceful pass on Bryan by Ricky, who was lucky to go through into the lead with Mark behind and that's how it ended with Ricky, Mark, Bryan and the 2 A final juniors Daniel and Ben Mannell coming in 4th and 5th. So into the 3rd final it was between Mark, Bryan and Ricky, any one of them could take the overall win. Mark once again led from the front and was now clearly dialled into the track, he increased his lead each lap, making the apexes with pin point accuracy, clearly having learned from his mistake in the 2nd final. At approx halfway he was well into the lead, nearly half a lap up on Bryan and starting to lap other finalists. Another epic battle was taking place between Bryan and Ricky which was ultimately slowing them down, then another DNF for Ricky let Daniel take 3rd place, closely followed again by Tim. So, it was Mark on 2pts, Bryan on 4pts, but Daniel and Tim on 7pts each and Daniel taking it on countback. 
Complete results will be posted as soon as possible after they have been converted to STCC format! A big thanks to all the drivers, it was great day, and a big thanks to the Eastbourne support team who did a great job, including the timekeeping at short notice due to Andy suddenly being unable to make the meeting. Last but not least, to the "food guy", it was a great opening round in all respects, thank you everyone.
