ROUND 19 - Saturday 11th August 2018

With some changeable forecasts around, we were again lucky to have a sunny, sometimes cloudy, but generally dry day for our next round- the BARC Midlands Centre’s John Clarke Sprint. Some seventeen BARC Speed Championship contenders were entered and as  dropped scores now come into play, competition was fierce for those extra fractions of a point.

Class 1A – Road Going Series Production Cars – Saloon Cars up to 1400cc, saw Andrew Rollason take his Ford Ka to class victory on a best of 72.52 seconds.

This was followed by Class 1B – Road Going Series Production Cars – Saloon Cars Over 1400cc up to 2000cc, and here it was a battle of the Alfas as Leo and Adriano Martorana tussled for top spot. Leo edged ahead by seven tenths, pushing early leader Adriano into second spot. Leo recording 70.21 seconds for first and Adriano 70.97 seconds for second place.

Class 1C – Road Going Series Production Cars – Saloon Cars Over 2000cc, saw James Hunt take a good win on 66.66 seconds – the BMW E30 sliding, popping and grunting its way around the lap. In third place and demonstrating a much smoother style was Emma Hunt, whose Golf recorded 72.11 seconds. Just behind Emma was Paul Jaggard‘s Alfa 147 GTA on 72.27 seconds.

Class 2A -Road Going Specialist Production Cars, Road Going Kit, Replica & Spaceframed cars up to 1700cc (believe it or not, I abbreviated that), saw five BARC Speed Championship runners dominating the proceedings. In a very appropriate coincidence, John Clarke in his Caterham 7 took the win on 65.37 seconds. Anthony Shearman in his Caterham 310R was right behind on 65.58 seconds for second place. Graham Holdstock in his Caterham 7 took fourth on 67.21 seconds, again closely pursued by Paul Webb in his Sylvia Striker on 67.58 seconds.

RESULTS – ROUND 19

I finally got to meet Anthony’s delightful daughter Zoe Shearman, who recorded 69.61 seconds in their Caterham 310R.

Moving to Class 3C – Modified Series Production Cars – Saloon Cars over 2000cc, Will Hunt took a decisive victory in his Cossie Sierra on a fine 63.97 seconds and tenth place overall.

In Class 3D – 2 & 4 Seater Sports Cars up to 2000cc, Elen Worthington won on 65.72 seconds during T1, but retired the Elise as a precaution with a possible head gasket problem.

In Class 4A – Hillclimb Super Sports Cars & Sports Libre up to 2000cc, Clive Wooster in the Radical SR4 took the win on 56.78 seconds and managed to lower his class record in the process. Timed runs were not pretty, but not much was left on the table for third overall.

Class 5A – Racing Cars up to 1100cc saw Steven Potter record a win on 54.29 seconds and second overall – Steve also took the BARC Midlands FTD, which Clive thought was a bit unfair!!!

Finally, it was great to see Keith Sollis‘s beautiful Ralt RT36 out in Class 5D – Racing Cars Over 1600cc up to 2000cc, Keith recording 58.42 seconds for the class and fourth overall.

As we plan to head north to the BARC’s Harewood Hillclimb for Round 20 on 26th August, everything is still to play for. And, don’t forget to book your tickets for the 2018 BARC Speed Championship Awards Dinner at Kettering Park Hotel & Spa on 20th October – It’s sure to be a spectacular night!
