Re:MR2 Nationals 2013

Track day at Symmons Plains is not confirmed yet. We are also looking at Baskerville circuit near Hobart.
We now have a working Sub-Committee to begin planning the next MR2 Nationals 2013 in Tasmania. We will be announcing the dates and the location of the Nationals as soon as that decision is made.
The agenda will be similar to previous MR2 Nationals and will inclde a "Show n Shine" a dinner, a couple of Road Stages (open roads obeying all road laws) hopefully following Targa sections (still TBC) and if we can swing it a Track "practice" day. After the Nationals we're planning 5 days touring with great roads and lots of sight seeing to make the most of the costs on the Spirit of Tasmania.
This won't be a cheap event, checking the Spirit of Tasmania cost on-line, at today's prices (with no deals) $928 for both ways, twin cabin, including car. There are cheaper options if you want a shared cabin or an Ocean Recliner. Add $150+ for the Track day, five or ten nights motel accommodation (if you do the optional 5 days touring) cheaper if you camp, plus meals and petrol. If you want to go start saving now.
Cheers, Kevin

People planning on attending the MR2 Nationals 2013, when you are 100% sure you are going, can you please email an "Expression of Interest" to nationals@mr2club.com.au We have made a few decisions. Baskerville is booked for Monday 30 th September 2013. You will need a CAMS L2S licence or a AASA Licence before the event. This can be done around July 2013. Information on how to get either of these will be provided in response to your Expression of Interest. We have arranged accommodation for the MR2 Nationals 2013 in Hobart through a third party at a very reasonable group discount. The package includes 4 nights accommodations (including breakfast) the MR2 Nationals dinner on the Saturday night, parking on the Government Lawns for our "Show n Shine" on Saturday morning. All close to where the action is. To lock in this great deal we need as many people as possible to book now. Again further details and how to book will be provided in response to your Expression of Interest. All future up-dates by the Organising Committee will be posted on this section of the Forum and displayed on the opening page of www.mr2club.com.au

We now have 9 Expressions of Interest from MR2 owners other than those who live in Tasmania. This is shaping up to be an Event not to miss!!! I have booked 20 reserved rooms at the Hobart Motel at a reduced cost, and 20 places on the Spirit of Tasmania for the trip there and return. The practice day for untimed laps at Baskerville Raceway in Hobart is confirmed for Monday 30th September 2013. Preference will be given to MR2s, other marques go on a waiting list (if we do not get enough MR2s competing). To obtain and Entry Form and Booking Forms, etc send an email to nationals@mr2club.com.au and they will be sent to you. Additional information will be emailed from time to time to those who have put in an EOI.

Have not seen anything about this for a while and had forgotten about it. Maybe some reminders on the forum? I only remembered after the missus had started looking at going to Fiji in Sept. Will have to sort out which way I want to go . Wish I could do both but cost is a problem and this will cost a lot more than the Fiji trip.

yes a few reminders on the forum would be a good idea. what about in the state related area Kevin? routes and stop overs for the tour are just about finalised.
I did quite a few laps around Baskerville a week ago, its a great track and well suited to the MR2.

All further information is provided to everyone who sends an Expression of Interest email to: .com You will then receive all the booking information through Tas Vacations (we've organised a great deal) for the 4 days of the Nationals in Hobart (Fri, Sat, Sun, & Monday at Baskerville) as well as the group booking on the "Spirit of Tasmania". The Nationals planning is finalised and just some tweeking for the 6 days touring Tasmania to sort out. I've posted on all the State boards directing them to the Tasmanian board for information. This will be an event not to miss. Kevin

Hi Dennis, all further information is sent in reply to your Expression of Interest. We have sort of finalised the 6 day tour after the three days of the Nationals, and just waiting for preferred Motels before going public.
Of course people are able to "do their own thing" and some are leaving earlier for work and other commitments, and some are staying longer to see things they want to.
