And what a year it has been for the CSCC! Hard to believe that it was nearly eight months ago that our season started, yet we are already at our final foray of 2015. Record race entries, full grids of eclectic cars, great racing, and above all a fantastic paddock atmosphere. What more could we ask for? My previous programme welcomes, have, I hope, already paid our thanks to everyone involved in making this such a terrific year. But here goes again, we understand that without all of you we wouldn’t have been able to achieve the level of success we have. I’m sure I speak for all the committee and office staff when I say a big, heartfelt thanks to all the marshals, (an extra round of applause to all of the marshals who went above and beyond at our last Brands meeting), officials, timekeepers, scrutineers, commentators, and competitors who have contributed.

Donington The series visit to Donington Park witnessed the BMW of Tom Houlbrook expertly driven to take a lights to flag victory overall and in Class A by 9 seconds over the ever competitive pairing of O’Neill & Szymanski and third place deservedly going to Dan Wylie in his BMW E46 M3. The racing was as close as ever throughout the field, out at the front the pair of BMWs of Tom & Darren battled till the pit stops and with them both serving 30s winners penalties it was clear to see we would see a new Modern Classics race winner for the season. This time David Marcussen a previous Spa Francorchamps winner in his BMW E36 M3 claimed his Modern Classics 2015 maiden win driving a brilliant, competitive and consistent race to victory ahead of O’Neill & Szymanski by only 3.8s, the last place on the podium was claimed by Darren Fielding chased closely to the flag by Tom Houlbrook only to be decided by 0.400s at the finish line.

At the time of writing over 20 cars are racing today, including newcomers to the series Phillip Barret (Focus RS) and Steven Routledge (Ferrari 355 Challenge). As well as New Millennium the grid today is also shared with drivers from the Dunlop Puma Cup which is for cars running to a tightly controlled specification which also makes for close racing. If the track is wet or damp this will certainly suit the lower powered cars. This season Harris Irfan has brought his road legal Porsche 996 GT3 ‘Cobalt Blue’ to race at a number of New Millennium rounds, writing about his exploits on a Pistonheads forum thread. His first race at Rockingham ended during the pit stop having lost a number of rear wheel nuts, thankfully disaster was averted. Harris continues the story in his own words at the last New Millennium round on the famous Silverstone GP circuit on the 12th of September: Cobalt Blue returned to active duty at Silverstone's GP circuit this weekend. I’d dealt with most of the dreary logistical stuff the night before so that I wouldn’t be panicking early the following morning. That said, I still find the business of loading and manoeuvring trailers to be a royal pain, especially on an inclined driveway but hobbitlike children can be surprisingly sturdy little helpers when threatened with loss of electronic privileges. Once again, my unfamiliarity with a new circuit meant that qualifying should probably have been best conducted with my Garmin for company (“turn left at the gravel trap”). I finish an embarrassing 37th out of a packed field of 59 on the grid, 8 www.classicsportscarclub.co.uk CLASSIC SPORTS CAR CLUB CSCC New Millennium and Dunlop Puma Cup Note that a number of the cars are subject to winners penalties as a result of having overall wins during the season, these being Davis (TVR) with a 60 second penalty and Bird/Hyde-AndrewsBird (BMW) and Houlbrook (BMW) both with a 30 second penalty. So expect a real mix-up during the pit stops and some late charging in the final few laps before the chequered flag! Toby Harris CSCC New Millennium Driver Representative I was missing from quali. Adrenaline proves to be surprisingly helpful in this regard. Somehow despite the swarm buzzing around me, no contact is made and I focus on picking off a few cars every lap. The little cars are annoyingly rapid through the tight direction changes of Maggots and Becketts, but strong traction out of longer corners and the long straights more than compensate. By the time I’ve closed in on the E36 M3s and 944/968s, I seem to have found my groove and my natural competition. The E92 M3 right at the front is in my class but alas the GT4-spec racer seems a world away in terms of outright speed as do the quickest finding myself staring at the back of a teeny tiny Smart Brabus and alongside various Clio Cups and Fiestas. Never mind: today’s target is successfully completing the full 40 minute race, finishing in one piece, perhaps learning something and going home happy. The GP circuit is fabulous. Wide and fast, accommodating 59 cars of widely varying pace is doable. It must be amazing to do the Britcar 24 Hour here. We’re racing on the same day as the Lotus Cup, F3 Cup and Mono GP, and it’s the Lotus Cup that proves most entertaining with a large number of cars barrelling into turn 1 at high speed with not all of them emerging out the other side! I must try not to think about the possibility of being swiped when 4-abreast. How I wish Mezger GT3 prices were not quite so sky high! And so to the formation lap: by the time row 19 of the grid enters Luffield which is two corners before the main straight, the field is already accelerating away. I guess that means it’s lights out on the gantry ahead so bam! Pedal to the metal, hold my breath and squeeze down the middle of the pack. By the braking zone for Copse I’ve picked off a few which is to be expected given the power differential and now I need to find the several seconds a lap MOTORSPORT FOR CARS OF ALL AGES E36 race cars – I’m sure driver differential has much to do with that, but rather than focus on classifications I think the right thing to do is focus on myself: how can I improve myself, what targets can I realistically set from race to race, am I extracting the optimum from myself and from my car? It still feels to me that my skills are a long way from what they could be, and perhap what they once used to be. Age and family I think has something to do with that: I have no delusions of taking this up professionally so work and family obligations take precedence over seat time. Family members regularly express displeasure at this solo and apparently dangerous activity, and access to a never-ending fountain of cash is but a pleasant fantasy. Plus I think subconsciously I’m holding back more than I used to: with age comes a healthy aversion to risk. Maybe it’s the memories of three racers I knew in Dubai who tragically died racing. In any case perhaps I’m looking to get something different out of racing today than I did several years ago. Maybe now it’s more about self improvement and a sense of achievement than adrenaline rush and bragging rights, although those undoubtedly are a pull for any normal male. David from CSCC very kindly assists me at the mandatory pitstop otherwise I might have been fumbling blindly for the harness forever, and I’m back out to complete the second half. 10 minutes from the end, my engine stutters through a tight corner and I am reminded of the time I ran out of fuel on the last lap of a race many years ago. The gauge is showing half full (I make sure never to repeat the same mistake!) but the stutter gets worse as the laps count down. Just where the engine should be zinging at 6000 revs, it cuts power and holds up the M3s and Porsches harrying me from behind. Crap. I lose a few hard won places and in my desperation manage to lock up the rear wheels with a clumsy heel and toe and head inexorably to the scene of my impending doom... the gravel trap. Thankfully, I regain control inches before. The lovely chaps driving a gorgeous Porsche 928 aren’t quite so lucky and end up beached like a whale at the same corner. I am extremely grateful for the chequered flag a couple of laps later. As I kill the ignition in the paddock, I can afford myself a quiet moment of reflection. I am drenched in sweat and pong like a dead animal. My fingers are slightly shaking. That was frickin’ amazing. I’ve just completed the full 40 minutes, Cobalt felt beautifully set up, and I’m more than satisfied with how far I’ve progressed today. Sure, I could find more time - I’m still on the brakes too early and for too long and I’m still too conservative in the faster corners. When the results sheet materialises I’m somewhat surprised to note I’m placed 45th out of 51 finishers. That doesn’t make much sense to me. My best laptime places me firmly in the top 20 cars and I think had been fairly consistent throughout, barring the last 10 minutes of temporary fuel starvation in some corners. I had estimated making up around 10 places in total accounting for the few places I lost at the end, and my pitstop had been a pretty good one I would say. So I can only think of two possible reasons for the lowly result: either somehow the receiver has failed to pick up one lap from my transponder (the results show me 2 laps down on the leader, although I recall being passed only once), or I am cognitively biased only to remember the overtakes and not the occasions I am overtaken. Oh well, best not dwell on this and instead remind myself that I had a great day as evidenced by the sticky ball of shredded Cup 2s dug out from inside my wheel arches: The competitors have been brilliant: friendly and helpful in the paddock, they drove hard and avoided contact despite stampeding into corners 3 or 4 at a time. It’s nice also that a number of them approach me afterwards to acknowledge the many dogfights we had. A couple of them even express how refreshing it is to see a ‘road’ car with number plates, carpets and A/C out there on the GP circuit. Makes you feel all glowy inside... Harris Irfan HALLOWEEN RACE MEETING 9 CLASSIC SPORTS CAR CLUB MOTORSPORT FOR CARS OF ALL AGES Race 3 (40 Minutes with pit stop) Saturday CSCC New Millennium and Dunlop Puma Cup Donington Race Report A combined grid alongside the CSCC Modern Classic series made the trip to Donington on the 6th September, five of which were previous New Millennium winners and would have to serve an additional 30 seconds winners penalties in the race itself. First place after qualifying was Randaccio/Affleck (Lotus Europa) nearly 4 seconds ahead of the rest of the field, with Davis (TVR), Houlbrook (BMW M3), Wardle (Ginetta G50) and Szymanski/O’Neill (BMW M3) covering the rest of the top 5 places.Note that quite a few of the drivers are registered for both New Millennium (NM) and Modern Classics (MC) series. At the start of the race it was Davis (TVR) who made a great start to take the lead with Randaccio/Affleck (Lotus) falling back to 5th place with the others holding their start positions. Davis led the field pulling out a 7 second lead until his pit stop on lap 12 which dropped him back to mid-field after taking his 30 second winners penalty. Wardle (Ginetta) took over the lead from Davis and held it by 2-3 seconds through his pit stop until lap 25 when a charging Randaccio/Affleck who had dropped to 14th overall after their pit stop (and winners penalty) retook the lead until the chequered flag and the overall race win and first in NM class B. Davis having dropped to midfield after his pit stop + winners penalty climbed back up to finish 5th overall and 1st in New Millennium class A. Wardle (Ginetta) with a fine drive made the most of his penalty free pit stop to take 2nd place overall and second in NM class B. Houlbrook (running today in MC) finished 3rd overall and 1st in MC Class A. Sturges (Megane) moved up from starting position of 21st to finish 16th overall and 1st in NM class E. Other NM class winners were stalwarts Grange/Hays (Mondeo ST) finishing 26th overall and 1st in class C and Morgan/Edwards (Clio Cup) first in NM class D. Silverstone GP Race Report A huge amalgamated grid of 59 cars from New Millennium (NM), Modern Classics (MC) and Dunlop Puma Cup made their way to Silverstone for the rare opportunity to race on the fast and technically demanding 3.66 mile Grand Prix circuit. Whilst the series were racing on a combined grid they were racing for their individual overall and class awards. At the end of qualifying the first six places were taken by BMW M3’s with the fastest being Houlbrook (MC Class A) by just 0.02 seconds ahead of Fielding (MC Class A) and regular NM racer Bird/Hyde-Andrews-Bird. Davis (TVR Tuscan) broke the BMW stranglehold to claim 7th slot for the race grid. Further down the order Saunders/Spark (Ginetta G40) took 13th spot and headed NM class D just ahead of Garner/Garner (Clio Cup) also in NM class D. Marais/Compaan (Seat Leon) headed NM class E from Sturges (Megane) who completed only a single lap before having to retire the car from the meeting. Wardle (Ginetta G50) qualified in 27th place and 1st in NM class B whilst MacBean/Daniels (Ginetta G40R) and Irfan (Porsche GT3) were building up speed on the unfamiliar circuit (read article on the previous page). On to the race itself which saw 57 cars take to the grid for a rolling start. At the end of the 40 minutes frenetic racing it was Marcussen (BMW M3) who took the spoils just under 4 seconds ahead of O’Neill/Szymanski (BMW M3). Houlbrook (BMW M3) would probably have won overall were it not for his 30 second winners penalty and finished 4th. First New Millennium car was Davis (TVR Tuscan) in 6th closely followed by father and son team of the Bird/ Hyde-Andrews-Bird both of which also had to serve their 30 second winners penalty during their respective pit stops. Wardle (Ginetta G50) would have had a great result were it not for the fact that he just missed the pit stop window and had to suffer a 2 lap penalty as a result which pushed him well down the order with first in NM class B as a consolation. Saunders/Spark (Ginetta G40) managed to finish 2 places higher than their qualifying spot to take 1st in NM class D and a fine 11th overall. Marais/Compaan (Seat Leon) claimed 1st in NM class E with 29th overall going some 2 seconds faster than their qualifying time.

On a clear circuit Mark Chilton slipped away in his Porsche 928 (Class A) by about a second a lap until the pit window opened and Nic came in for his mandatory pit-stop and 30 second success penalty. Mark promptly took his pit stop shortly after but without having earned a success penalty of his own exited the pit 29 seconds ahead of Nic. Mark managed to grow this gap for lap after lap whilst both negotiated back markers to the end of the race. Mark crossed the line 43 seconds ahead of Nic by the end of lap 20. Stephen ScottDunwoodie brought his Sierra Cosworth (Class B) across the line 3rd less than a second ahead of Tim Bates in his Porsche 911 SC. These two had been locked into a race long struggle for 3rd and were never more than a few seconds apart for the entire race. Tony Maryon won the Porsche Transaxle class (G) in his 944 S2 and John Hammersley and Simon Taylor took class D in their Vauxhall Astra GTE but only 3 seconds ahead of David Bryant in his Toyota MR2. Nic and Stephen have brought their cars out again for this last race of the season here at Brands Hatch but Nic still has his success penalty to overcome if his wants to win. David and John can also continue their race for class D honours. If that’s not enough racing for you then wait until the night race this evening where Nic is again testing himself as is David Bryant.

HALLOWEEN RACE MEETING 17 CLASSIC SPORTS CAR CLUB MOTORSPORT FOR CARS OF ALL AGES Race 8 (40 Minutes with pit stop) Sunday CSCC Swinging Sixties Groups 1 & 2 One last race for the Swinging Sixties this season. You have provided fantastic grids, some excellent racing and pleased many spectators along the way. If you add up the number of races you have completed this year; take the number of laps, multiplied by the length of those laps, I bet you have travelled over 400 miles at racing pace. That is pretty impressive for those ‘classic cars’. Racing in the dark, at Brands Hatch, is going to be a bit special. I am sure you are going to cope very well, but please be careful! RACE REPORT It sounds a bit different and exciting all at the same time. I reckon it’s rather like driving home from the pub when you are 18, but hopefully with no-one coming the other way. My warmest thanks to Vicki Cairns for her excellent race reports, which just leaves me to do the poetic bit! Have a great race and enjoy yourselves. Chris Blewett, CSCC Swinging Sixties Driver Representative 1. Driver name(s) – Tony Hunting 3. Car history, modifications and power – The BMW was a German club car before David bought it from Tom Pead who did some CSCC events I believe. The Midget is one of Tim’s cars that has a long racing history. Stripy is a very competitive race car with the right driver behind the wheel (Confusingly ‘Stripy’ doesn’t have a stripe on ’his’ bodywork, the name came from an original plan to change his livery!). 18 www.classicsportscarclub.co.uk 4. Driver racing history I’ve been with the CSCC since 2011, although I supported Ian Everett and Gary Makein in their BMW for a number of years beforehand. I really enjoy Mallory Park, it does seem to work for me somehow. Great race in David Cornwallis BMW a couple of years ago and my best result yet in Tim Cairns Midget at Mallory this year. I also very much like Anglesey (not so much the weather!) My scariest race was at Silverstone when the heavens opened and I couldn’t see a thing. 5. Why you race with the CSCC? – It is a good club with a friendly atmosphere. MOTORSPORT FOR CARS OF ALL AGES CSCC Swinging Sixties Groups 1 & 2 Driver Profile 2.

Personal details – I run a classic car hire company based in Suffolk (GT Classic Hire Ltd), we hire E-Type, Austin Healey, TR6 and the like. Been doing this for myself for 5 years, running classic car hire companies for others for some 15 years. We have recently moved to a bigger property which will help in the development of the company. I play with the classic cars while my partner Karen plays with the horses (between working!!) GROUPS 1 & 2, OULTON PARK 26th SEPTEMBER 2015 As Oulton Park was a one-day Meeting, the Swinging Sixties race was combined: Group 1 (for the smaller-engined cars) and Group 2 (for the larger cars) racing together. Once again, the CSCC were able to arrange a fine and sunny day for a full grid of cars to enjoy. There were a few drivers out for the first time this season and it was good to see Ross Whittock in his smart Mini. This car has previously been used for hillclimbs & sprints and Ross learnt to drive in it! We also welcomed Malcolm Mitton and Tim Philpott in their very pretty Lotus Elan S4 for their first race at Oulton Park. Sam and Simon Polley were out in their 1500cc MG Midget, this being the first time Sam had raced the car. A few cars had problems in practice, including Jon Crayston whose Lotus Elan S4 had a timing chain come loose; he then had a busy day making it ready to race. Joe Henderson in his Triumph TR6 recorded good times; but, he unfortunately cracked a brake disc and was unable to take his place on the grid. Chris and Oliver Petch also had work to do, as they needed to replace the head gasket on their TR5. The race was in the very late afternoon, which meant exiting Old Hall Bend and the Shell Oils Hairpin directly into the low sun. At the front of the grid, Pole position was taken by the Ginetta G4 of Mark Halstead and Stuart McPherson, with the Marcos of Iain Daniels and Ben Gough alongside. Both these cars had winners’ penalties (the Halstead/ McPherson car 60 seconds and the Daniels/Gough car 30 seconds). From Group 1, the first two cars on the grid were Minis - the first being that of the Howells followed by that of Tonge and Winter (neither car carrying a winner’s penalty). The race got off to a clean start with close racing between the first four cars. This continued for several laps until the Marcos began to suffer from the oil problem which had beset it in practice, finally having to retire on Lap 10 at the Pit Stop. There were close races in both Groups for the honours. In Group 1 the two Minis had a race-long battle finally finishing with just 3 seconds between them, Matthew and Julian Howell taking the win, earning themselves a 30-second Penalty for today’s race. A well-deserved third place went to Ian Everett in the 2-litre BMW. The Group 2 leaders also finished a few seconds apart with the Ginetta of Halstead & McPherson ahead of Dave McDonald in his TR6 who, in the final laps, had been unable to hold off the Ginetta. Martin Sledmore in the 4.7 litre Mustang had a great drive from 13th on the grid to finish in 3rd place over all. A few cars failed to finish:- Tony Clark in the MGB had a gearbox problem, the two-car team of Mike Hughes and Rob Cowing, unfortunately, found the barrier after Cascades and John Hutchison ended in the gravel at Lodge Corner. There were, however, many happy drivers - the pleasure of racing at Oulton Park seems to have that effect! Mark Lister was very pleased to record his first finish of the season in his Austin Healey Sprite. It is always a pleasure to see the Jaguar Mk 1 driven by Roger Bowman on the track and he had an excellent race; he said he had “good fun” starting 23rd on the grid and working his way up through the field to finish 13th, achieving a class win and fastest lap. The Alfa Romeo GT2000 of Gary Lyon had over-heating problems, but he was happy to coax the car to the finish - perhaps his “day-job” of designing military vehicles was put to good use!? Now we are at Brands Hatch for the end-ofseason finale - and hoping that, once again, the weather will be kind and, despite it being November, a great day will be had by all!

RACE 8 www.classicsportscarclub.co.uk MOTORSPORT FOR CARS OF ALL AGES Come and race with the Classic Sports Car Club Race 8 (40 Minutes with pit stop) Sunday CSCC Swinging Sixties Groups 1 & 2 No. Driver CLASSIC SPORTS CAR CLUB Where do I start? We will go into more detail later in this guide, but in brief you need: A race car, prepared with safety equipment such as roll cage, harness, extinguisher etc. Personal safety equipment, including, helmet, race suit, gloves and boots (plus we advise a Frontal Head Restraint device such as a HANS device) An MSA Race National B license Club membership and series (car) registration Why race a car, rather than sprint, hillclimb or trackday? All of the disciplines listed above involve driving your car quickly, whether for fun (in the case of a trackday), against the clock in speed events (hillclimbs and sprints) or a race to the flag with other competitors on the track at the same time (racing). Racing side by side, wheel to wheel is one of the most exhilarating things you can do in life and relies on skill, tactics and trust in your fellow competitors. A motor racing circuit is usually a wide ribbon of tarmac where you may need to use a variety of ‘lines’, not necessarily the fastest racing line as a car you are trying to overtake is occupying the space you desire; this is where overtaking tactics come into play. It is this close competition with other drivers and cars that makes racing such an amazing experience. Whether you are a racing novice or you have experience with another racing club, you shouldn’t need convincing that racing cars on a track with other enthusiasts is one of the most exciting pastimes you might ever do. What makes the Classic Sports Car Club different from other racing clubs? We are a club first and a business second. Our committee is made up of experienced racers and officials and ensures that we provide our club members with the best possible racing experience at sensible costs. We only run series, rather than championships, where each round is an individual event with no points, making the racing slightly less serious (but no less competitive) and no pressure to have to compete in every round. The CSCC actively enforces strictly enforced driving standards: no-one wants to spend money on panel repairs. The club is beginner friendly, with a new driver ‘buddy’ system to help you through your first race meeting and over a hundred novice drivers who started their racing hobby with us. With the exception of the Special Saloons and Modsports Series we have longer 40 minute or one hour races with a mandatory pit stop and 30 minute qualifying/practice sessions on the same day. Entries may be either single drivers, two drivers sharing a single car or a two car team (all at the same race entry fee). An overall winners penalty helps reduce the likelihood of the same car dominating at every round. Freedom of choice when it comes to tyres (from the MSA list 1A or 1B) and some other modifications. We allow a “Taster” round where the registration fee will be waived for the first round. How much will it cost? Well, Motor Racing is never cheap, but the club makes the track time you receive great value. The initial equipment costs can be quite high (car, preparation and personal safety equipment), but once bought the ongoing costs can be very reasonable. We have members who race on a shoestring and may only compete in one or two rounds a year, sleeping in their car/tent/van/ aunties house with no testing time, whilst other members stay in hotels and have a race team to look after them. We embrace every type of racer, as long as they are here to have fun. If you have been taking part in sprinting and hill climbing then the costs to race are not too dissimilar once you have actually bought the mandatory safety equipment for yourself and your car and in fact may work out cheaper per minute of tracktime. The cheapest way of racing with us is to share a car with a friend and so halving the costs. Choose the CSCC race meetings which take place nearest to you, drive your road legal car to the circuit, qualify and race and drive home again afterwards on the same day (or stay overnight if you prefer)! Doing this may cost each driver as little as £250 per event even taking into account the race entry fee, petrol, a certain amount of normal wear and a bacon roll or two. Your costs with us amount to club membership, series/car registration and then a race entry fee. Choice of car and car safety Your choice of car is a very personal one and is likely to come down to budget, what you may already own or what you are interested In. Most choose to buy their car outright or share the car with a friend (halving the costs), but you can also rent a racing car on a race by race basis from a number of teams and preparers that race with the CSCC. Take a look at our different series and their simple regulations to see where a particular car may fit in. An existing race car is usually the cheapest way of starting out, with a selection of cars starting from just £2000. Contact the CSCC club office who may be able to advise you of a cars suitability and eligibility and join the club to receive the club newsletters that often contain cars for sale. Before thinking of how to make a car go faster you must first make sure it is safe for competition. The MSA Blue Book (which you will receive as part of your racing licence application) is your bible when it comes to the mandatory safety requirements of a racing car. In brief, to turn a road car into a racing car you will need to fit a fire extinguisher, racing seat, harness, roll cage, electrical cut off, rain light, relevant stickers (including a novice cross) and a transponder so that each racing lap you complete is counted and timed. After this it is generally accepted that improvements to the brakes, suspension, cooling, tyres and most importantly the drivers skills (!) should come before increasing power. Driver safety In addition to the cars safety equipment you must also invest in suitable fire proof clothing, again the MSA Blue Book is your guide here. The CSCC has a discount directory which is sent to members, helping them to save money on equipment. As a minimum you require a suitable MSA helmet, FIA fireproof overalls, gloves and boots. It is recommended that you also consider fireproof underwear, a Frontal Head Restraint (FHR) such as a HANS or Simpsons Hybrid and wrist restraints in open cars. Once bought, many of these items will last many years if well looked after. Racing licence To compete in a race you must hold a valid racing licence. To get one of these is both fun and straightforward. Visit the MSA website, purchase a ‘Go Racing’ pack for £95, take a medical, book an ‘ARDS’ course with a race circuit where you take (and hopefully pass) a practical and theory test and send off for your license (first years licence fee included). Your first racing licence will be a Race National B which is fine for all of the CSCC UK rounds. To be able to race with us in Belgium at our Spa Summer Classic event requires a Race National A licence; to get this requires you to gain six race signatures, by successfully racing in different events. A days marshalling also gains you a signature, is well recommended and saves you money. Alternatively, if you would like to get involved in the action but don’t fancy racing why not volunteer to marshal with us? It’s the closest you can get to the action without sitting in the drivers seat. Take a look at our Officials/ Marshals page. Please contact the Classic Sports Car Club for any advice or help about how to get started with us.

TTC TTD TTE TTB Lisa Selby and Toby Harris have been eagerly awaiting another night race since taking part in the CSCC Halloween event at Donington back in 2010 in their Fiesta XR2i. "It was an amazing experience and really exciting to be racing in the dark sometimes having to imagine where the apex will be as you go over a crest and the lights are pointing into the sky leaving the circuit in the dark. Even with the addition of rally spotlights, as well as full beam, it wasn't until you had overtaken someone that you realised you were using their headlights as well as your own. All of a sudden you could now only see a few metres in front, instead of a couple of car lengths, this only slowed us down 2.7 secs compared to the race in the day."
