FERRARICOMPETITIONRESULTS PHOTOGRAPHY Here at CompRes Towers we pride ourselves on the quality of the photographs we reproduce each month. Most of the plaudits are rightfully due to the skill of the many lensmen who contribute their images to us, and over the years we have had quite a number of exceptional photographers. In this issue you will see the work of two cameramen who we only rarely have the good fortune to obtain. In our Harewood hillclimb report, Mark Buckland (also a Club ARDS race instructor) has covered most possible angles while in our race reports, Gavin Struthers has produced some great JUNE action shots from Donington Park. Gavin came down all the way from bonny Scotland with not one but three cameras to shoot for us – JULY now there’s dedication! If you would like copies of any of the photographs in this or any previous edition, just email us and we will put you in touch with the appropriate man.

Gonzales hard at work in his epic drive at Silverstone in the 1951 British Grand Prix.
Romeos could be beaten by a big-engined Ferrari. I knew nothing of this driver from Argentina and when I saw him for the first time, I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was a huge man, with most of his upper body hanging out of the cockpit. His bare arms and yellow short-sleeve shirt looked totally out of kilter with my vision of a proper racing driver, like the immaculately turned out and compact Stirling Moss or the stylish Giuseppe Farina in his white linen helmet. I recall that, unlike every other driver in the Grand Prix, he didn’t seem to blip the engine when he changed gear for Copse corner. The transmission won’t last long, I thought. But it did, and Gonzales won the race to become everybody’s darling, not least those at Ferrari. Many years later, long after he had retired from racing, I was privileged to be introduced to the great man at a race meeting. I
remember that not only was he most friendly and amiable but that his hands, which I had always imagined must be massive, were actually quite tiny and delicate.
SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS In last month’s issue of CompRes we gave you full details of what we have arranged for the big race meeting at Spa on 18th to 21st July. Subsequently we have posted out entry packs to all registered competitors in PFfc and PFO. We remind you that the closing date for entries is Friday, 28th June so if you haven’t returned the completed entry form already you will need to get your skates on. For those who would prefer to have someone transport their Ferrari to Spa, Lee Moulden has arranged a truck which departs from Fosker Engineering’s premises at Brands Hatch on Thursday, 18th July. There are two places remaining and if you are interested contact Lee at:
sometimes these things are unavoidable. For the Loton Park weekend we shall be partying on the Saturday evening at the Albrighton Hall hotel, near Shrewsbury, a new luxury hostelry to most of us. So, if you are planning on hillclimbing that weekend instead of polishing, we look forward to seeing you in the bar!

PARTYING One of the nice things about competing with our Ferraris at Club race meetings and hillclimb events, apart from the pleasure of driving the cars to the best of our abilities, is the extracurricular activity which often takes place in the evening. At quite a few events during the season we arrange special Ferrari dinners and these are a great opportunity to get better acquainted with your deadly rivals of earlier in the day. In recent weeks we have enjoyed Ferrari parties at Harewood and Shelsley Walsh hillclimbs and we look forward to a similar thrash at Spa in July. It is unfortunate that the next hillclimb event, the double header at Loton Park on 13/14 July, clashes with the Club’s annual Concours at Walton Hall, but

RA’s HILLCOMMENT Harewood & Shelsley better all the way over the Walsh (Harewood reported in 300 feet distance.

aluminium. I now have a set fitted to my F355 (see pic) and hope my original wheels can be restored and saved from the melting pot. These new wheels are available in silver, red(!) and a sort of charcoal colour - the ones I chose. Maybe I should have had silver, but these wheels do look more modern and indeed quite different. 360CS/430 Brakes are carbon ceramic and the technically adept John Marshall has recently experienced a problem unique to these awesome anchors. His very choice dark blue 360 CS purchased not long ago was one of those very low mileage cars that had done not a lot. He experienced uneven braking plus an unpleasant feel and it turned out this was caused by piston deterioration in the calipers. These are Brembo racing calipers that should be rebuilt annually (but never are of

course) plus they need frequent fluid changes. These pistons do not have seals and are nickel coated (see pic of a couple) where you will note the failure of the plating. John does not mess about and now has stainless steel ones! Tim Blackburn a Club competitor active in the eighties both on circuits and the hills with a 308GT4, moved to south west France many years ago, about 20 miles from Agen. A nearby neighbour is Keith Maddox, now well into his eighties and a previous winner of our hillclimb series with his

246GT. Both Tim and Keith are involved with the local old car enthusiasts, but sadly with marques other than Ferrari. Tim came to the Club’s 2012 Prescott picnic and he and his wife Ros are seriously considering a return to their homeland. They recently stayed in Suffolk with us for a couple of days and I took Tim along to local Ferrari dealer Lancaster at Colchester to have a beak at the F12. 308 mates F355 – sounds unlikely but I fell over the car pictured in the back yard of Robin Ward’s new Damax premises at Brackley. This remarkable confection is a fibreglass car with F355 engine and gearbox fitted in
longitudinally, and would appear to have huge potential as a race or hillclimb car. The present owner, a Club member, advised me that this 308GTB was originally owned by Roger Daltry of The Who – whoever they are. Later it was raced in PMFC by Mike Golding, after which it vanished from the scene. Apparently the car was in John Pogson’s workshop with the engine out and the owner, noticing an F355 engine lying on the floor, said that should go in the 308 easy!
F12 Experience for your columnist when my local Ferrari dealer, Lancaster at Colchester, suggested I had a go with their recently acquired demonstrator. Sadly it was very wet and the traffic heavy so all of the engine’s 740 bhp was not deployable. I did about 30 miles and was understandably hugely impressed. The overall composure of this latest Ferrari exudes from every aspect when you drive it, and like all the latest models the build quality is sublime and commensurate with the price. I have always been a fan of the modern V12 Ferraris – we all know what a great car the sixteen-year Tim Blackburn, now domiciled in France, old 550 is. Put simply, I was a recent visitor to England

suppose you could say the new F12 is twice as good as a 550, and should be on everyone’s wish list. The Good Old Days: Cornbury Park this horizontal hillclimb near to Blenheim Palace is in Oxfordshire and was part of the FOC hillclimb series in the nineties. In a very pretty parkland setting with a delightful paddock, picnic wise, the course was fairly simple, very fast towards the finish and hazardous (of which more anon). Off the start the track ran straight for four hundred yards before a second gear right-hander in front of the estate buildings. A lefthander after a very short straight, still in second, opened out into a long drag through the parkland dotted with trees and several flat out sweeping bends
toward the finish, through a gate in to another part of the estate. This section was around half a mile long, so terminal speeds were high. I recall going flat to the finish with the 328 and later with the 355. The last time there, I took the 550 and really wondered about holding it flat to the finish, but it was just possible. At the meeting there was a very bad crash around the finish area with some kind of Chevron screwed into a ball and brought back to the paddock in the shovel of a JCB. Earlier in the year a friend of mine had crashed his Aston Martin DB2/4 into a tree here and been quite seriously hospitalised. When I put together the following year’s hillclimb calendar I decided to omit Cornbury Park for reasons of safety. Subsequently, at the meeting we would have attended,
there was a fatal crash and the driver turned out to be a friend of Tim Blackburn who was the commentator of the day. Motorsport Safety despite the foregoing rather off-putting story of Cornbury Park, has improved out of all recognition over the years the Ferrari Owners’ Club has been running series for members to compete with their Ferraris - evident not only from additional and improved safety barriers at the regular venues we have been using, but driver clothing requirements too. We do, as a matter of course, assess these issues, not just when putting together the competition programme but equally importantly for our track Day activity as well
PIRELLI FERRARI HILLCLIMB CHAMPIONSHIP: ROUNDS 2 & 3 HAREWOOD HILLCLIMB 11th and 12th May 2013
AREWOOD hillclimb was the first ‘uphill’ event on the 2013 calendar writes JOHN SWIFT. The North Weald sprint, back in March, rarely gives a pointer to how the PFHC season will develop so this 2-day (double header) meeting at what is a favourite venue promised to reveal who, among the top Ferrari protagonists, are candidates for becoming the year’s champion. Saturday’s field numbered an impressive 20 cars and included a couple of hillclimbing newcomers: Mark Wibberley with his immaculately polished 360 Spider and Iwan Attwood, who shared his father’s Dino 246GT. Sally Maynard-Smith was making a return to the Yorkshire hill after twelve years while Pauline Goodwin was making her first appearance at a speed hillclimb with her powder blue California. It was nice to welcome back Jon Goodwin after an 18 month lay-

off. His weapon of choice was his well used ex-Richard Allen 550 Maranello. The weather predictions for the weekend were not all that encouraging although Saturday dawned cold but dry. The track was in good shape but a bit on the ‘green’ side, so initial practice
runs, of which there were three, tended to be lacking in ultimate grip quality. This was illustrated when Jon Goodwin had an offcourse excursion on his first run resulting in some front-end damage to the 550. Nick Taylor laid the hammer down in his 430 with a time of
Harewood newcomers. From the top: Iwan Attwood in his father’s pretty Dino 246GT; Shaun Smith lifts a wheel on his 328GTB as he comes through Orchard; Mark Wibberley in his beautifully presented dark blue 360 Spider.
67.94 although Richard Prior did his best with the 355, only 0.65 seconds adrift. Philip Whitehead (F355) looked racy and was the best of the rest at 70.22. Sally M -S was understandably rusty on her first practice run but improved by a massive 10 seconds on her second. Of the so -called Classics, Brian Jackson, in his yellow 308GTB ‘BOB’, was a smidgeon ahead of Shaun Doyle, looking far more at home now that he has fallen back in love with his GT4. With the track slightly rubbered in with the completion of the practice runs, times generally improved on the first of the three officials. Taylor still looked a difficult man to beat for outright honours but John Marshall, with his newly acquired sonorous 360 Challenge Stradale, improved significantly to record 69.41, which proved to be his best of the day. Prior, although slower than in P2, was the only other sub-70s driver. Trying hard on his second run he threw it away with a spin at Farmhouse and, as an encore, recorded a DNF on his final assault. Meanwhile Julian Playford was making a great job of cleaning his F355 (following an off into the gravel) no doubt thinking he might win the Paddock Cup for presentation if anyone had thought to organise it. It was on the final sorties that most drivers set their best times. Taylor got down to serious business with a difficult to match 66.31 but still some way off his own record time of 64.15 set three years before with his 348GTC. Whitehead confirmed his potential by snatching 2nd spot and the fastest 355 time with 68.60, just 0.23 seconds quicker than our Chairman’s best in his silver F355 dream machine. Brian Jackson put all his comprehensive knowledge of the hill to good use by posting an excellent 70.67 to take the
CompRes 6
valuable 20 points as well as the best Classic time of the day. Pauline made up for an error on her first run by posting a satisfactory 71.52 on her second, although this wasn’t quite quick enough to beat the warring F355 duo of your reporter (70.86) and Richard Preece (71.36). The battle of the Sean/Shauns was settled in favour of Doyle who beat the well driven 328 of firsttimer Shaun Smith by a second. Tony Attwood (the fastest 064ft starter in 2.44 seconds) took fatherly satisfaction by outpacing his son although Iwan improved all weekend at the wheel of the achingly pretty Dino. Wendy Ann Marshall’s efforts were rewarded with a scintillating climb on her final run to pare almost 5 seconds off her day’s previous best. Peter Rogerson was the popular winner of the Club’s handicap award with his 360 Modena. Most of us were staying at the nearby Bridge Hotel at Walshford, just north of Wetherby. Some 25 of us gathered in the attractive Byron room, with its impressive Italian plasterwork, to enjoy a well prepared Ferrari Dinner and persuade each other that, but for quite appalling bad luck, we would have easily collected the maximum Championship points earlier in the day. A stiff breeze greeted us at the hill on Sunday morning. Rain was forecast but we reckoned that if the wind kept on blowing across the valley there was an evens chance of the hill remaining dry. It didn’t quite work out like that. This second meeting of the weekend was an MSA Hillclimb Championship event and therefore, because of all the Top 12 Run-Offs, the other classes, including Ferrari, are restricted to just two official runs. Philip Whitehead was the only absentee from the previous day’s Ferrari line-up. Times in practice were generally faster than Saturday’s. Again Taylor posted the fastest time (66.72)

From top: Brian Jackson crests the hill in his famous 308GTB to take the maximum 20 points on Saturday; Philip Whitehead was the quickest F355 driver on the first day; Peter Rogerson (360 Modena) was the handicap winner in both rounds; John Marshall blasts off the line in his newly acquired 360 Challenge Stradale.

although Prior, no doubt licking his wounds from the day before, was firmly in number 2 spot and a full second ahead of rivals Allen
seemed like an age at the start line while a crashed single-seater was recovered from the track. Taylor opened the batting with another blistering time (66.82) which was some 3 seconds faster than anyone else could manage. Jon Goodwin, perhaps smarting from his little escapade the previous day, was back in top form and used his 550’s formidable 485bhp to stop the clocks at 69.95 which was to remain the third fastest Ferrari climb of the day. Pauline G made a hash of R1 but not as much of one as your scribe, who managed to spin through 180° at the top of
Quarry corner on what he had hoped was a competitive run. Mark Wibberley showed he is a fast learner and improved by 4 seconds on his Saturday best while Jeff Cooper (running solo at this event while Caroline looked after the horses) made enormous strides by chopping a similar amount off his previous day’s quickest. The track conditions had deteriorated for the final runs of the day, although there were some improvers. Taylor steamed up the slopes in an even quicker 65.98 to take the maximum Championship points and Prior closed in to second place overall with 68.94. Pauline G and your reporter could hardly have failed to set faster times and both finished on an identical 73.95. Jackson repeated his Saturday Classic win and harvested 17 points, to make it a near-perfect 37 for the two days. And, to his clear delight, Peter Rogerson was again the Handicap award winner which must be very satisfying for a Yorkshireman at this very Yorkshire hill.
A chill wind blowing across the valley caused some to take appropriate action. Here Angela Preece gets cosy in the paddock.
and a recovered Jon Goodwin. Then it was John Marshall and Swift ahead of giant killer Jackson. With rain clouds massing overhead it was clear to most of us that the first of the official runs would determine the day’s results. Frustratingly the Ferraris were kept waiting for what
Fastest overall on both days was Nick Taylor in his Mafia black 430. He took home an impressive total of 37 Championship points after an outstandingly successful weekend.

DONINGTON PARK 19th May 2013
T
he Morgan Sports Car Club were our hosts at Donington Park for Rounds 3 and 4 of the Pirelli Ferrari formula classic series writes JOHN SWIFT. It was a 1day race meeting on Sunday, 19th May and labelled the Peter Morgan Memorial Race Meeting. Peter Morgan’s name is well remembered by your reporter. Many years ago Peter owned a Ferrari 330, a car which perhaps added a bit of exotica to his world of homespun Moggies. He decided to sell the Ferrari and at the time I rather fancied one of these big 12-cylinder machines to share the garage with my Dino. We haggled for a few days but failed to reach agreement on the price so the car was never mine. I wonder what became of it . . . But enough of this reminiscing. The plot at Donington for the Ferrari Classics was a 20-minute qualifier (the 2nd

With our Open series Qualifying having a similar but rather longer The Classics were number 1 schedule I was rather surprised on the morning’s agenda and that Morgan SCC managed to fit in so many other races into the day’s busy schedule. The strong Ferrari entry was an excellent 23 cars (there were a few last-minute withdrawals) most of which we had seen at the season’s opener at Snetterton the previous month. However we were Carl Burgar had more than his fair share of pleased to see a full problems with his Mondial QV. compliment of Cartwrights (Ben and were promptly assembled at the Jim joined their father, Nick), Melbourne loop for a 9.15 past champion Gary Culver, Nick qualifier. The track was dry and Whitaker (his fast GT4, now in good order, and the weather classified as Gp2, having finally forecast promised a fine sunny emerged from RnR’s workshops) day. and Didier Benaroya – fresh from Tim Summers, victor at the Tour Auto - in his rare rag-
Snetterton in the first race, was clearly on top form along with his blisteringly quick Daytona competitzione. He put the car on pole with a time of 1:21.533, almost two full seconds quicker than last season’s PFfc champion Jim Cartwright. David Tomlin wasn’t far behind with his rapid Gulf Oil liveried Gp2 308GTB while in 4th spot, and showing no signs of rust after his longish Ferrari sabatical, was Gary Culver. Leading Gp3 was Ben Cartwright, again showing that recent fatherhood hasn’t slowed him down. Nick Taylor, whose sinister black Mondial t puffed out smoke for the first three laps, was a busy man. His company had arranged a pair of young ‘promo’ girls to dispense generous quantities of Mumm champagne to reward the successful Ferrari drivers and getting these lovelies to the right place at the right time was quite a tricky operation. Andy Bush carried out his usual eligibility checks and was obliged to reclassify a couple of cars. Tris Simpson’s 308GT4 was moved from Gp1 to Gp2 while Ray Ferguson’s Mondial t was deemed to be in Gp4 rather than Gp3.
Race 1
From top: Nick Taylor’s sinister black Mondial t puffed out smoke for the first three laps of qualifying; Paul Griffin (308GTB) had a spin in R1; Craig Milner (65) battles with Nick Cartwright’s similar 328GTB; David Tomlin (6) spent most of R2 embedded in the gravel at McLeans corner.
The weather was really rather nice when the cars lined up on the dummy grid immediately after the lunch break. The field set off on the green flag lap with no apparent difficulties but on returning to the pits straight a board was displayed signifying a delayed start. After waiting about 10 minutes we were released once again for a second green flag and this time there was a trail of cement dust – presumably to soak up oil – all the way down the Craner Curves to McLeans. There didn’t seem to be any adhesion problems but the hazard was lack of visibility due to the clouds of white dust. The problem, we later discovered, was due to Carl Burgar’s Mondial QV shedding its

water pump/alternator drive belt with the result that the radiator boiled. The liquid deposited was water, not oil, and it is strange that the marshals didn’t recognise this before attacking the track surface with cement. Despite this early hitch to proceedings, when the lights eventually went out Summers blasted his Daytona off the line to reach Redgate ahead of the rest of the pack. Vying for 2nd spot were Jim Cartwright, Culver and Tomlin and then, after a little gap, Marrs, Ben Cartwright and Ted Pearson. The unfortunate Burgar cursed his ill luck as he viewed the race from the pits. At the back of all these fast movers your reporter, after trying to juggle his car into a position where he could actually see the lights on the gantry, managed to stall on take-off and trailed the field for the first lap.

the gravel unassisted. By lap 5, Tomlin made a successful move on Culver to grab 3rd place, the four leaders now getting well ahead of 5th man Pearson, who was showing a clean pair of heels to Marrs and Taylor in 6th and 7th respectively. There were some fierce squabbles in mid-field with Nick Cartwright’s Gp4 tail under close scrutiny from Milner and PaulBarron; Fisk was also under severe attack from Ben Cartwright. Swift had now extricated himself from the back of the pack and was closing up to the solid Mondial barrier of Benaroya and Ferguson who were
side-by-side most of the time. It was on lap 8 that the race took on more drama. Pearson’s 328GTS’s engine bay was suddenly enveloped in flames on the pits straight. As had happened at the previous race meeting at Snetterton, the car’s lubrication system proved faulty and we assume that this time oil spewed onto its hot exhaust. It all looked very nasty for a short time until the marshals’ extinguishers, after a surprising delay, got on top of the blaze. The red flags immediately came out and the race was stopped with eight minutes still to run. It was a disappointing end to what had been a fine contest but at least Ted Pearson was able

to climb out of his cockpit unharmed. At the time the race was stopped, Tim Summers was ahead by less than a second from Jim Cartwright with David Tomlin in 3rd. The Gp3 winner was Craig Milner while William Moorwood took Gp1 honours.

cars of Marrs, Nicky P-B together with the Gp3 328 of Ben Carty. Just behind this foursome there was a great jousting match between Nick Carty and Milner. There was a similar struggle further back, with Pauline Goodwin leading Moorwood, Griffin and Burgar. In his own words Carl Burgar “ran out of talent” at Old Hairpin on lap 7 and his race ended in the run-off area. Tris Simpson’s 308GT4 had been misbehaving all day when the engine became really hot, resulting in an occasional misfire. It happened again after seven laps and Tris briefly visited the pits on lap 11 but then continued. On lap 13, Benaroya, his Mondial t coupé under extreme pressure from Ferguson’s closed version, made a mistake at the exit to Redgate and both Ray and your scribe gratefully got past while Didier strove manfully to keep things under control.
Prizes galore. Wayne Marrs, seen here with Selina Bailey, had a great day out, picking up a couple of 3rd places as well as the RnR Classic Driver of the Day trophy.
Race 2 It was well after 5 o’clock before the Classics were called up for their second race. The weather continued to remain dry and 22 cars assembled, the only absentee being the fire damaged 328GTS of Ted Pearson. Again it was pole man Summers (the grid was based on second fastest qualifying lap times) who led into Redgate from Jim Carty and Culver, with Tomlin a little behind in 4th. Tomlin lasted only until the start of lap 3 when some over-ambition through McLeans ended with the 308GTB being inextricably embedded in the gravel. A race-long squabble for 4th overall featured the Gp4
Tim Summers duly took his second chequered flag of the day to bring his glorious Daytona home with a 6-second advantage over the hard trying Jim Cartwright. Some 24 seconds behind these two, Gary Culver collected 3rd place overall and 2nd in Gp4. Ben Cartwright, in 5th overall) took the Gp3 class win while William Moorwood again finished with Gp1 success. Again the Viton-O-Ring girls were on parade for the champagne presentation while Wayne Marrs was clearly chuffed to be the winner of the RnR Classic Driver of the Day trophy.

DONINGTON PARK 19th May 2013
HE SECOND RACE meeting of the year, the one-day event at Donington Park, featured Rounds 3 and 4 of the Pirelli Ferrari Open reports JOHN SWIFT. It also threw up a puzzle: why was there such a disappointing turn-out of PFO Ferraris? All the ingredients of a successful day’s racing were there. Donington Park is perhaps the most appealing circuit in the UK – it’s safe, it’s challenging, it’s accessible, and it has a long history of exciting Ferrari racing. Even the weather gods were on our side, with lovely warm spring sunshine for virtually the whole of the day. The entry fees were modest and we had negotiated
photography by Gavin Struthers
with the organisers to have sufficient garages for everyone who wished to have one. So despite all the essential ingredients being in place we were astonished to find only seven competitors listed in the final Open line-up. There were some last-minute withdrawals for understandable reasons but, considering the Classic races had a really strong entry, it remains a worrying mystery. Despite the small field, the racing – particularly the first race – was really close and exciting. Our hosts were the Morgan Sports Car Club and the Ferrari events formed a major part of the day’s activity with doubleheaders for both the Open and the Classic series. The mix of cars was four Class 4 458s and three of the early 430s. In Class 4, Balfe
Motorsport arrived with their impressive scarlet transporters containing the cars of Sam Smeeth and Mick Dwane while Paul Bailey’s and Wayne Marrs’s 458s came on slightly less exotic trailers. The 430s of Tim Summers and Tim Ingram-Hill were joined by the FF Corse car to be driven by PFO first timer Douglas Campbell.
Qualifying Because of time restrictions, qualifying was restricted to one 20-minute session, with the second fastest times determining the grid for Race 2. The PFO cars went out early, at 10.00 am, and with no problems reported it was Sam Smeeth in his ‘non-aero’ 458 who secured pole with a time 0f 1:09.270, just 0.4 seconds quicker than Paul Bailey. Very close behind were row 2

candidates Wayne Marrs and Mick Dwane on almost identical times. Tim Summers took the Oerlikon-liveried 430 round in 1:14.507 to lead Class 3 with his rivals, Douglas Campbell and Tim Ingram-Hill around 3 seconds behind.
Race 1
TOP: Mick Dwane (77) and Wayne Marrs in their 458 Challenge cars set about each other like alley cats. CENTRE: The battle of the 430s in Class 3 was fascinating to watch. Douglas Campbell (car 46), making his debut in the Series, was impressive. He is led here by Tim Summers in the Oerlikon car and has Tim Ingram-Hill in the Flying Parrot machine sitting on his bootlid. BOTTOM: The fast 458 of Paul Bailey took victory in the first race but gearbox problems slowed him in R2.

The first PFO race, a 25minute affair, came under starters orders in the early afternoon and produced a fascinating struggle that had us on tip-toe throughout. From the rolling start it was pole man Smeeth who moved into the lead albeit hotly pursued by Bailey who was hampered by a faulty gearbox (despite having fitted a brand-new replacement ’box very recently). Marrs slotted into third with Dwane a length or two behind. Then, leading the 430 brigade, it was Ingram-Hill ahead of newcomer Campbell with Summers an appreciable distance in arrears after a first lap spin. Smeeth continued to increase his lead by about a second a lap although Bailey always looked to be menacing. The fight for 3rd could not have been closer, with Marrs and Dwane virtually together as a single blur. On lap 5 Dwane managed to find a way past and snatched 3rd spot. Meanwhile Ingram-Hill was being caught by both Campbell and Summers although the latter had quite a task on his hands if he were to make up the lost ground. The situation at mid-race was that Smeeth’s lead had stabilised at about 6 seconds over Bailey, and Dwane remained in charge of 3rd place by a car’s length. Campbell was now heading for a maiden victory as he closed in and then overtook Ingram-Hill on lap 9. It was on lap 12 that everything changed at the front. Smeeth, who had looked so comfortable, suddenly had a spin. Bailey didn’t need an invitation to take over the lead and we were now to witness a great scrap for

overall honours. It was a similar story with the 430s. Although the increasingly confident Campbell looked to have the legs of the others, Summers had got the bit between his teeth and was gaining on Ingram-Hill to make a class second place highly possible. With 2 laps remaining, when the two cars headed towards McLeans, they tangled. Ingram-Hill’s 430 suffered a damaged wheel and Summers some bodywork disarrangement. Both continued but now with Summers ahead. Meanwhile, back with the overall leaders, Bailey was hanging on like grim death. He put on a heroic show over the last few laps and finally took the chequered flag by a fraction of a second. The fight for third was resolved when Marrs crossed the line just thousandths of a second ahead of the hard trying Dwane. In Class 3, Campbell took a famous debut class win together with the fastest race lap. Smeeth had the honour of setting the quickest lap of the race in 1:09.683 – less than a second shy of Derek Johnston’s Class 4 record.

that the cars were released. With Bailey’s gearbox still giving trouble – he was now unable to select the ‘even’ gears, only the ‘odd’ ones – it was unlikely that we would see a repetition of R1’s needle match. And so it proved. Sam Smeeth hurtled off at a tremendous pace as if to expunge all thoughts of that Race 1 spin from his mind. The rest were left slightly breathless in his wake. In P2, Bailey did his best but was always a second or a bit more slower than the leader. The skirmish for 3rd we had seen in the earlier race was rejoined and for the first four laps it was Marrs just ahead of Dwane. In Class 3 Summers took immediate control from Douglas Campbell. On lap 2, Campbell’s hired 430 slowed and flames were seen coming from its exhaust. He limped back to the pits where FF Corse carried out some swift diagnosis and the car was sent out again with its problem apparently solved. Douglas now posted a series of laps almost as fast as class leader Summers although it was in a lost cause as he was now

some 3 laps down. On lap 6, Dwane popped ahead of Marrs to take third and we wondered if he would be able to turn the tables to the end. By lap 11, half distance, Smeeth’s pace in the lead had barely slackened and he now had a 15 second advantage over Bailey, who in turn was some 20 seconds ahead of the scrap for 3rd. It was on lap 17 that Marrs dived ahead of Dwane into the chicane. The two cars made mild contact with each other with Mick’s car coming off worse. Despite Mick’s best endeavours to get back on terms it was Wayne Marrs who collected Class 3 honours for the second time while Sam Smeeth took overall victory by a significant 33
seconds. In Class 3, Tim Summers was also impressive in taking the win by a margin of 18 seconds. Fastest laps were recorded by Smeeth (1:09.041) and Summers (1:15.772). Unlike at the previous race meeting at Snetterton, this time we had the prizes with us and these were presented by Selina Bailey. Winners were doubly rewarded by the girls from VitonO-rings, who handed over Magnums of Mumm champagne to the overall winners of each race with a slightly more modest sized bottle of Mumm to the class winners.
