The Vintage Sports-Car Club has announced the cancellation of a race meeting for, it’s thought, the first time in the club’s 85-year history.
A lack of entries for this weekend’s (Saturday 21 September) season finale at Snetterton has brought about the move, with just nine confirmed entrants for the sprint and 18 for the race meeting.
This comes after organisers had already tweaked the event’s original format of a unique Six-Hour team relay race for vintage cars, switching to a more traditional race programme in a bid to attract more competitors.
However, with insufficient entries to make the meeting viable, the decision has been taken to call it off.
“We regret that despite the recent change in format, there are insufficient competitor entries for Snetterton,” a statement from the VSCC said.
“To run the event would generate a poor competitor experience and atmosphere for the spectators, reflecting badly on the Club. Furthermore it would be unfair to our team of marshals and volunteers, who would be required to attend in their normal complement, and the potential financial loss is unacceptable.
