OK, a bit of trial and error - but I appear to be IN!
I went for the Spanish language option in the end as it was all pretty straight forward - and there was no English language option on the 2008 site. Acceptance e-mail just received

As in previous years there are some anomolies on the registration form for overseas (UK) participants.
1) A couple of boxes require answers in local (Spanish) format. These are the postcode box -
Codigal Postal - (which does not accept letters) and the
Lic. federativa No. box. In both cases I used a made-up number -
71177. This worked. To be sure that anything posted gets to me I included my UK post code with my county (in the Provincia box).
2) Telephone numbers can only be 9 characters long. This procludes use of UK numbers but you do need to put a number in, so I lopped off a couple of digits to make the numbers fit.
If paying by credit card select the
Tajeta Crédito - ON LINE option in the last drop-down box. This takes you to a fairly simple online payment page.
NB: If you don't have your own championchip a final screen pops up warning you that you are responsible for the chip if you lose it and that you should return it to the authorities after the race. There was a chip collection point in the tented area after the finish this year.
