WORLD CUP F1 + F2 STOCK CARS at WARNETON on 16 + 17.08

SMC Venray has rent Warneton Speedway to organise the World Cup 2008 Formule 1 and formule 2 Stock Cars. The organisation is entirely done by SMC Venray. Camso has no involvment in it.

The races are Saturday from 2.00pm till 6.00pm (no permission for racing later) and on Sunday from 10.30am till 6.00pm.

At the moment 40 F1 Stock Cars are booked in and it seems there will be between 50 and 60 F2's. Warneton is at only 1 hour driving from Calais - ferry Dover Calais around 75 mintues - and is, with his high banking, one of the fastest short ovals in Europe and the UK. For the way from Calais to Warneton, see on our website.

The Camso laptop computer has been stolen, 2 weeks ago, and we did not have any backup. Sorry if we did not answer to some e-mails.

JEAN VASSEUR (France) Champion 2007 in the Camso V8 Formula.

After having seen the video tape of the second heat at Warneton, on 13/10/2007, the race jury decided that the penalty (1 place back + 5 points in the championship) given to Jean Vasseur, was a wrong decision.

That means that Jean Vasseur (#007) is the Champion 2007 with 2 points advance on Gary Ellis (#95)
