ROUND 8 - Saturday 11th May 2019

The weather forecasters weren’t much help to us in the week leading up to Round 8. Pretty much every day the forecast changed from dry to wet, from wet to dry… you get the picture. However, despite a light shower, the day was mainly bright, but at times chilly.

We suspect slick shod cars didn’t get fully up to temperature all day. Ten BARC Connaught Speed Championship competitors entered, but only eight made it on the day. So, here’s how it went.

Unusually for him, Clive Wooster‘s Radical SR4 ran early on in Class 6. Clive’s splitter woes continued from the last Goodwood event as in P1 it shattered and lost the timing strut. Quick sawing, screwing and disc cutting made a repair and Clive recorded a class win on 84.56 seconds and forth overall.

Into Class 9 and Phil Williams in the Jedi MK4 took first place on 96.57 seconds.

In Class 11, David Brown in the Renault Clio was in a competitive class with some Lotuses, but put in a fighting run for 109.91 seconds and fifth place.

RESULTS – ROUND 8

Class 12 had a diverse spread of machinery, but BARC competitors held their own. Nick Emery in the Lotus Elise S1 took the class honours with 95.83 seconds. Second was Duncan Fraser in the S2 version of the same model with 98.93 seconds. Third was Patrick Tucker in the rumbling Chevrolet Camaro on 101.64 seconds. Unfortunately, I’m running out of clichéd descriptions of the beast, Patrick having already used ‘Mighty Chevrolet and Rumbling Chevrolet’, but I’ll keep going! Cedric Abboud in his lovely M3 CSL (I used to have one of those) recorded 105.33 seconds for fourth and Paul Boscott in the Lotus Elan +2 drove spiritedly (as observed from my spot at the Chicane) to record 112.84 seconds and fifth place.

And that was it! Goodwood did its usual best to break cars and certainly a few went home for early baths/rebuilds, although I believe all the BARC folk were reasonably unscathed.

We probably won’t be going anywhere quite so fast for the rest of the season, but the remaining round all have their challenges. Coming up next, Rounds 9 and 10 at the Monaco of the Midlands, MotoFest Coventry on 1 and 2 June. I look forward to seeing you there!
