I notice you've left the World Championship weekend free so hopefully we'll see a bunch of you at Bentwaters...

Also missing from the list is the European Championships (we thing the weekend before the Worlds) and the BAE Castle Combe Charity Challenge (probably 14th September).
The BAE race also permits teams racing trikes so it would be an excellent, and unipque, opportunity for pedal cars and 3 wheelers to race against each other in an endurance event whilst rasing some cash for a good cause.
I think the tally is Trikes 2 ; Pedal Cars 2 over the 4 editions so far... Edited by jes@gcre - 10 October 2007 at 2:22pm |

"Shenington Kart Club have been brilliant in having the faith to let us run the 24 hour race there next year and we hope that the venue will be popular."
I guess it must be the shortage of wheels they don't like about us then, rather than our human-poweredness

IIRC, the reason they gave was that bikes might damage the track when they crash

It'd be good to get some faired Windcheetahs and/or Davies trikes there as well - they would almost certainly win  . Obviously the charity aspect is important as well...Edited by GeoffBird - 10 October 2007 at 7:56pm |

Not sure what kind of speed increase (if any) a Quest could get drafting another Quest. At cyclevision I could not really feel any advantage attempting to draft another Quest but I had not raced it before and was riding a good few feet behind, it is hard to see how close you are to another bike in front.

Might be speed benefit from having another machine to pace even if no aero benefit. It is easy to back off the pace riding alone. 3/4 position rather than behind could work better...? |
