Both the BENZING and Unikon updates for 2024 are now available to download from the manufacturers websites.

BENZING M2 & M3 clocks - update 1.14

UNIKON CHAMP & PROFI - update 3.22

These updates must be installed on members clocks before they are used in the 2024 season.

Please see the following statement from Ian Stafford.

The Amalgamation now requires a Transport Manager and President.

Without officials racing cannot take place, there have been no applications for the Transport Managers post and the transporters need to be at the fitters from 20th of March onwards to get them ready for the first race.

Good luck with your treatment Ian and thanks for the hard work in getting the transporters updated.
