Merry Christmas & Happy New Year |
Dear All Thanks to everyone at HSCC including the marshals and volunteers for all their support in what has been a very different racing year - despite the challenges we had a great 2020 diary and all the circuits provided us with a very safe environment. Many congratulations again to Antony Ross, for being our 2020 champion. If you don't already have them, here are the provisional 2021 HSCC calendar dates :
The news at the weekend has been very challenging for us all to digest but please stay safe and I look forward to seeing you next year. I'm sending my best wishes to you and yours for a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous 2021. KeKi Message

Drivers
Meeting
|
Traditionally
we would have a drivers meeting at the Silverstone Finals weekend.
However, due to COVID restrictions this will not be possible. Please can
I ask for any requests for rule changes to be submitted to me over email,
by 23rd October 2020. I wish to propose that we extend the rule for Lotus 7s to be allowed to run a smaller fly screen by a further year to cover the 2021 season. Triumph TR2 3A cars converted from a worm-and-peg steering box to rack and pinion steering is acceptable. Please note that this suggestion was supported by Matthew Lambkin-Smith/Nigel Edwards on grounds of safety. |

Cadwell Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September 2020 I think that F1
could take some lessons from the HRS Championship, they have had four
races this year and had four different outright winners, these are not
my words, but something that I overheard whilst queuing for coffee in
the club house. The
KeKi Cobra took pole position with the Morgan of Will Plant and the
elan of Paul Tooms all qualifying in a faster time than last years
lap record, Paul a mere 0.027 behind the Morgan. P4 & P5 taken by
Jonathan Rose and Jonathan Stringer, very close behind and Mark Godfreys
Ginetta just 0.151 behind the Lotus 7. Class D pole was secured by Anthony
Ross in the beautiful boat tail Alfa followed by Brian Arculus taking
class E pole.

Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th August 2020 Another
superb car on the grid was Chuck, Julian Balmes wonderfully
prepared TR4, such a pretty car and great to have him join HRS. Mark
Godfrey rose from P8 in quali to an overall P4, a superb result. Simon
King rose from a P11 qualification to an overall P6 in his Plus 8, great
racing.

Sunday 12th July I cannot believe that this is the 40th newsletter that I have written! So, we finally got to race in 2020 under new conditions, with social distancing and remote sign on procedures; added to that, great weather and dry conditions all day for the 31 starters. A fantastic varied grid of superstar 50s & 60s GT racers. John Davison returned in his elan and took up his customary position of pole in qualifying, heading the Cobra by 0.2 seconds. Mark Godfrey took P3 in his Ginetta G4 0.3 ahead of Jonathan Stringer in his Lotus Seven S2, with Paul Tooms hot on his heels in the Turner MK3. Heading class D in 9th overall was Anthony Ross in his Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider, a fantastically impressive performance. First of our invitation cars was David Alexander in his pretty Lotus Elite, followed closely by Adrian Gilbert in the elan and then another Elite, this time Brian Arculus who was doing his best to emanate James Bond as he was 0.007 behind Adrian. Jonathan Rushton followed in P14 overall to head class B. For those of you with Facebook, please do take a look at Jonathans in car footage of the race he had with Brian where he finished 0.028 behind the elan at the end of the twenty minutes. Richard Owen took class F honours in his Triumph TR2. Continue reading. |

Hope you are keeping safe and well. Here's our first
newsletter, kicking off the new season of racing next month. I am delighted to
say, in these uncertain times, that we will finally be getting our first
race of 2020 at Brands Hatch on Sunday 12th July (see timetable below).
Currently we have a fantastic entry grid of 26 cars, but there are still
a few places left on the grid, so please do get your entries in ASAP.
The HRS Championship
will mirror the same format as the 70s Road Sports, in that all
the remaining races will now count towards your annual tally of Championship
points. |

HSCC
prepares to restart racing
The Historic Sports Car Club is preparing for the provisional resumption of racing at its Legends of Brands Hatch Super Prix meeting on the Grand Prix circuit on 11/12 July. Subject to Government guidelines and approval from Motorsport UK, the HSCC is now working towards running a full weekend of racing on one of the best-loved tracks in the UK. HSCC CEO Andy Dee-Crowne said: "Running an event takes a lot of preparation so we are currently planning for the resumption of motor sport in July. Of course, this is entirely dependent upon instructions from both the government and Motorsport UK and the HSCC will fully comply with all such directives." Dee-Crowne said that changes are being planned to meet all guidelines and maintain social distancing. "There will be changes in how we operate events due to COVID-19. Changes may include things like electronic signing-on, electronic licence checking, how marshalling operates and the use of PPE for marshals and officials. We will all have a duty to ensure that when events do start, they are run as safely as possible. I can assure everyone that whatever guidelines are in place at the time will be pro-actively managed to ensure their safety." Because of potential difficulties with accommodation, the weekend timetable is being re-planned to try to make the event one-day for as many competitors as possible. The race line-up takes in many of the HSCC's championships and series, covering Thundersports, Aurora Trophy, Guards Trophy, Historic Touring Cars, Classic Formula Ford, Historic Formula Ford, Historic Formula Ford 2000, Classic Formula 3/Classic Formula Ford 2000, 70s Road Sports, Historic Road Sports, Historic Formula Junior and Historic Formula 3. In line with the joint working previously announced between the HSCC, Masters Historic Racing and French-based HVM Racing, an invitation is open to all competitors with suitable cars to take part in the event. The requirement for Masters and HVM competitors to pay a temporary HSCC membership has been lifted for this event. "We are delighted to open this race meeting up to Masters and HVM competitors with suitable cars," said Dee-Crowne. "With the Masters European calendar not due to start until the Silverstone Classic three weeks later, this will be an ideal season-opener." Laurent Vallery-Masson of HVM Racing confirmed last week (during his internet interview followed by 5800 contacts and competitors) that the partnership between HSCC, Masters and HVM will help everyone to be back on the track as soon as possible. "Our work with HSCC during the winter about unifying our regulations will attract more cars onto the grids," said Laurent Vallery-Masson. "French drivers are impatient to be back on the tracks with their British friends. HVM will welcome HSCC and Masters competitors as a part of its own membership." In addition to the regular HSCC and Masters racers, the HSCC is also extending an invitation to anyone with a relevant car to compete on the Grand Prix circuit. "This will be the first historic race meeting of the season and we'd like to extend an invitation to anyone who does not usually race with us to come and open their season on a great track," said Dee-Crowne. "Races like our Thundersports, Guards Trophy, Road Sports and Historic Touring Cars are all suitable for drivers who usually race in other series across Europe. We all realise that travelling out of the UK will be an issue in the short-term, so here is a chance to race at home." Entries are now open for the event via the on-line system on the HSCC website (www.hscc.org.uk) and all intending competitors are urged to place entries as quickly as possible. No monies will be taken until the closing date for entries and if the event is cancelled for any reason or competitors need to later withdraw their entries, full refunds will be given. For anyone who would like to enter but is not currently an HSCC member, please send an e-mail to andy@hscc.org.uk -ends- For more information,
contact the HSCC on 01327 858400, by fax to 01327 858500 and by e-mail
to office@hscc.org.uk For media
enquiries, please contact Paul Lawrence on 01952 510382. |
