The ORRC 'Road Trip' is coming to a track near you shortly!


We thought it may be a nice idea to update you all on our collective plans over the upcoming 2012 off-road racing season. So far we are planning on visiting race meetings and clubs all over the Midlands and hopefully we may even stretch further a field as the summer kicks in. The reason we are sharing these plans with you is simple. We would love to meet readers who may want to grab a chat track side, discuss any of our past or future features either here or over on www.oople.com or generally hurl abuse at us for our below average driving and disorganised pit area ;)...hopefully the later won't be needed. As some of our readers will be aware, we will be fully armed with a few examples of the gorgeous new Schumacher Cougar SV2. If you are interested in taking a closer look at the new buggy, or already have a Cougar SV2 and fancy sharing any cool tips you may have had success with, then get on over to the ORRC pit tent at the following meetings:

Sunday 1st April - Mid-West Regional 10th 2wd off-road Coventry
Sunday 22nd April - Mid-West Regional 10th 4wd off-road Kidderminster
Sunday 29th April - Mid-West Regional 10th 2wd off-road Ledbury
Sunday 27th May - Mid-West Regional 10th 2wd off-road Kidderminster
Sunday 10th June - Mid-West Regional 10th 4wd off-road Coventry
Saturday 16th June - Armageddon 10th 2wd off-road Towcester
Sunday 8th July - Mid-West Regional 10th 2wd off-road Hinckley
Sunday July 22nd - Mid-West Regional 10th 4wd off-road Telford
Sunday 29th July - Mid-West Regional 10th 2wd off-road Oswestry
Saturday 4th August - National 10th 2wd off-road Telford
Saturday 25th August - National 10th 2wd off-road Kidderminster


If you plan to visit any of these events and would like to meet the crew, look at the new Cougar SV2, or grab a hot dog from our resident confectionery manager Dave Williams, then look out for the following clear signs of our presence:

  • Schumacher banners and team clothing huddled around a small blue and grey pit tent
  • Smoke and/or fire coming from a camping stove that has been crudely erected to furnish us with this seasons 'snack of choice'...the humble brine dog!
  • Strange hair cuts and slightly bewildered looking racers who are wearing oOple jumpers and pointing a camera at the top drivers faces and cars.
  • Smiling racers who realise that the sport they love and the lovely British summer season are with them in force.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful folks that will be making this summer so much more comfortable and enjoyable for the ORRC crew. Schumacher - oOple - RudeBits - InsideLineRacing - Phat Bodies - Dragon Paints - Printigo.co.uk - Dave's Mum - Telford Hot Trax - The Swiss Family Stylezie

Phew! So as we look forward to our first collective outing of this years new off-road season this Sunday, we wish you all a truly wonderful 2012 season. Come and say Hi. We would love to meet you all :)
