To all teams and those involved with the Dunlop MSA Formula Ford
Championship of Great Britain in 2010.

Greetings and Happy Christmas!

This message goes especially to those teams who would like to plan their
next move over the Christmas break and get prepared for the coming
season.

TESTING

1.       It has been suggested to hold a general test at Guadix Circuit,
between Granada and Baza in Southern Spain, on a date between 24-29th
January 2010.

This would be a great opportunity to test the Dunlop slick tyres and try
out any prospective drivers.  The day is likely to be shared with the
Speed series.  There are a number of artics driving over from the UK,
and the suggestion is that teams share trucks in order to reduce
logistical costs.  Local accommodation is available from 31 Euros and
circuit details can be obtained from www.guadixcircuit.com.

If enough cars are taking part, then Dunlop would like to send out a
technician to assist with your results.  There will be a tyre fitting
vehicle already on site (not Dunlop).

The testing costs can be shared once it is known how many teams will
take part.  Costs are very reasonable.

Please contact either myself (I will pass details on) or Roger Parkes
( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ; mobile
07914 844 422) if you would like to know more details or add your name
to the list.  I am happy to liaise between teams for truck share if you
do not know who could help.  Currently we understand most of the main
teams plan to attend, but I need to know numbers please to pass onto
Dunlop.


2.       Oulton Park.  There is an exclusive test day to be shared with
F3 on Wednesday 10th March.  3 x 55 minute sessions are available.
There will be timing included through this day.  It is planned that this
could be the Championship launch for 2010, and can include preparation
of the cars and drivers with livery, along with photos for the season.


Please set this date aside and also let me know how many cars and
drivers are likely to attend.

3.       Additional exclusive test days are available with F3 in the
Winter and Spring.  These will include timing.  Please advise if you
would like to be involved and we will check the costs.  Please let me
know if you would be interested in Snetterton 24/25 February; Rockingham
1-2 March.


4.       We will all be at the Autosport Show on the BRSCC stand on
Thursday/Friday 14/15th January.  Registrations are open, and we can
accept them at the Show also.

Please contact me if there is anything else you wish to know -
especially if it is to do with the Autosport Show.   I shall log onto my
emails and phone periodically through the holiday season.

Please send me a reply to this email so I know you have received it and
wish to remain on the emailing distribution list.

Looking forward to taking Formula Ford into the next decade.

Kind regards

Penny Mattocks
