ROUND 3 & 4 – 22 & 23 April 2017

We were blessed to have a dry track, sunshine and temperatures at around fifteen degrees at this most picturesque hillclimb. And, despite two other events clashing, it was still a one hundred and ten car field!

Wiscombe Park generally runs big classes, so success here is hard won. Here’s how the BARC SBD Speed Championship contenders fared.

ROUND 3

In Class A1 – Road Going Series Production up to 1400cc, Mike Edwards in the British Mini ‘only’ had a ten-car class and promptly bagged third place with a very respectable 50.17 seconds. More was to come!

Class A3 – Road Going Series Production up 1800cc – 2600cc, had eighteen contenders. Wynne Morgan in the Renault Williams Clio grabbed a midfield spot on 50.99 seconds, but Steve Riddle in his Renault Clio 172 Cup did one better for a 49.99 seconds.

Class C3 – Modified Limited Production Cars 1800cc – 2600cc, had seven contenders, many hill regulars, and Will Hunt managed forth in class with a quick 44.17 seconds.

Finally, Class D1 – Sports Libre up to 1800cc, had but two contenders, but it was nip and tuck all day between Clive Wooster’s Radical SR4 with Suzuki power and Stuart Lillington’s Kawasaki powered version. In the end Clive had to settle for second, but re-wrote his class record with 40.83 seconds to Stuart’s 39.96 seconds.
