ROUND 1 - Sunday 25th March 2018

Sunday eventually met the weather forecasters expectations with sunny intervals, a light breeze and a very welcome temperature of 12 degrees. However, it was hazy during first practice and the track devilishly greasy. Spins, understeer and oversteer were the order of the day during P1, with the track resembling a baking tin smeared with margarine. Fortunately, things moved on nicely for P2 and here’s how the following timed runs for Round 1 of the 2018 BARC Speed Championship turned out.

In Class SB – Standard Saloon Cars Over 1400cc to 2000cc, reigning BARC Champion, Steve Riddle returned in the Clio Cup to take the class win on 87.87 seconds. Steve was fresh from some laps at Thruxton with, amongst others, Tiff Needell and in the slippery P1 was emulating his sideways mentor!

Class 1A – Saloon Cars up to1400cc, saw Andrew Till returning to the championship with a second place on 92.19 seconds in the MGZR105. Snapping at his heels was Mike Edwards in the British Mini on 92.94 seconds for third place. In between runs Mike was chasing Clive Wooster’s electrical gremlins too! In fourth on 98.20 seconds came Andrew Rollason‘s Ford KA.

Class 1B – Saloon Cars Over 1400cc up to 2000cc, had Leo Martorana in the Alfa Romeo Mito take second place on 90.81 seconds with brother Adrian Martorana in fourth on a 92.11 seconds. Some excellent Italian coffee was also on tap if you knew who to ask!

Class 1C – Saloon Cars over 2000cc saw yet more Italian machinery, with Paul Jaggard‘s latest vehicle an Alfa 147 GTA taking second in class on a 90.81 seconds. Emma Hunt put in a good time in the VW Golf to snatch third on 95.69 seconds and another Alfa, this time a 156 GTA in the hands of Ed McDonough, took fourth on 96.23 seconds.

RESULTS – ROUND 1

Class 2A – Roadgoing Kit, Replica & Spaceframed Cars up to 1700cc saw Graham Holdstock in the Caterham 7 take fourth place on 89.05 seconds, with Paul Webb in his Sylva Striker fifth on 93.22 seconds.

We move onto Class 3B – Modified Series Production Saloon Cars over 1400cc up to 2000cc to find Championship newcomer Taras Andrusin who took fourth place on 92.19 seconds.

In Class 3C – Modified Series Production Saloon Cars over 2000cc, Will Hunt in the Sierra Cosworth ruled the roost for first place on a 81.98 seconds.

In Class 3D – Modified Series Production 2 & 4 Seater Sportscars up to 2000cc, Elen Worthington had moved her Lotus Elise up into this class and now, armed with slick tyres, took the class win on 85.10 seconds. I’m feeling that more is to come once familiarity with the grip of slicks is obtained!

Next was Class 4A – Sports Libre Cars up to 2000cc and here Clive Wooster‘s Radical SR4 shook off the close attentions of Steve Barnard in the spaceframe Audi TT to win the class on a PB of 71. 69 seconds for the class win and I think BARC Midlands Centre FTD.

Finally, in Class 5A – Racing Cars up to 1100cc, championship newcomer Steven Potter took fifth in class with 75.12 seconds. With a track he’d never been to before and a new car, an OMS 2000 that he’d never driven before, I’d say this was a pretty positive start!

So, it’s off to Abingdon Long Course next on Sunday 8th April. And please don’t forget to join BARC Midlands Centre again at Croft Circuit on Saturday 28th April for the inaugural round of the BARC Speed Championship at this incredibly fast and challenging circuit!
