The course
We had our final test here last night and the circuit is laid out very much in a street style, just like going into a big roundabout from a fast open slip road, going around it and then a transition, followed by hard acceleration out. The test was carried out with the help of drivers James Hudson, Lex, Steve Carter and Bladey. The guys will let you know surface conditions etc., as its not like the normal tarmac of the circuits we generally run on, this is rough and ready and very hardcore.

Must say this course will be very spectacular for the crowd with the drivers heading towards them from the start line high in 3rd gear (or possibly 4th in Hudsons or Luneys case

) on a very flat surface so they can see everything, then you have a hard flat right that slows down and then tightens into a transition area bringing you out on a fast left hander the way you went in, basically the track crosses itself on the first/last turn so to speak and all right infront of the crowd.

We will probably have two start points for the drivers to initiate at as the lower powered cars will find the first turn hard to keep on the gas from the earlier initiating point.

The Venue
The EDC Final is being held in conjunction with the Donny South Show which regulary attracts a crowd of well over 10,000 so it will be heaving with spectators and a fitting venue for the Final: Donnysouth 2007 - Sunday 19th August - North Weald Airfield, Essex - the Souths favourite modified car show

Accommodation is plentiful in the area and if your no lucky enough to get a accommodation near to the circuit there are plenty of hotels and B&B's not too far away in many areas which are easily accessible due to the Donny Shows easy access being only 5 minutes off the M11 (Junction 7) and only 10 minutes from the M25 (Junction 27) motorways.

No fuel is available and neither are garages so bring an awning or gazeebo to keep the sun off

. Only 2 x cars per driver will be allowed in and you will receive the usual 4 x entry tickets per. You will be in a fenced off paddock area close to the course.

General spectators will not have access at all on the Saturday.

Championship Points Standing
Everything to play for here as you can from the points standing see below after Round 3:

1 Mark Johnston 40
2 Brett Castle 35
3 Maciej Polody 32
3 Mark Luney 32
5 Tony Green 30
6 Ben Broke Smith 23
7 Mark Buckle 20
7 Niall Gunn 20
9 Chris Parry 19
10 Jonny Power 18
11 James Grimsey 17
12 Pete Barber 12
13 Phil Morrison 11
14 Ian Harrisson 10
15 Alan Mc.Cord 9
16 Tim Marshall 8
17 Dean Kearney 4
17 Declan Hicks 4
19 Mark Coyne 2
19 James Hudson 2
21 Steve Evans 1
21 Steve Carter 1
21 Ralph Crampton 1
21 Daniel Eyles 1

With the points system being 20 for 1st down to 2 for 10th (and the other 6 drivers from 11th to 16th gaining 1 point) its very close at the top. Mathematically 6 drivers can take the season win with a further 12 being able to get a top 3 Championship placing. We say this because as seen at Donington, Silverstone and Knockhill - anything can happen at any time to any of the drivers on the day - this is gearing up to be a phenomenal fight for the title.

More information to follow.

Anyone know what the tickets are likely to cost??

Are you sure? It even says on the website 5-15 year olds £5 advanced (£5 on the day)

Caroline@SJS · 07-08-2007, 12:57

I'm really looking forward to this! It's only down the road from me too!

Will spectators be allowed to watch the qualifying at all?

MC2 · 08-08-2007, 01:26

Thats odd. It says 3-13 £5 in the ticket price bit.. But 5-15 £5 on the main page.. My dad orders on the door anyway so he'll ask.

sarah-giggle · 13-08-2007, 12:33

looking forward to this

sarah-giggle · 13-08-2007, 12:36

very randomly! If you are just going to watch this event be very wary of the q to get in every year the qs have been long!!! As there is only one way in so get there early on sat! The neares garage with uparted unleaded is 15 mins drive. (If any one needs local info mail me as I live very near bye)
Im looking forward to the show even though im in the trade area on a stand im sure I will end up watching more of the drifting!! lol good luck every one! x

Caroline@SJS · 13-08-2007, 13:04

Also another quick note for non-locals, the 'V' Music festival is also taking place this weekend and its only 5mins down the road from North Weald.

The festival attracts thousands every year so could mean there'll be double the traffic!!
