FERRARICOMPETITIONRESULTS AU REVOIR So that’s it! With more than a hint of sadness I am penning the final editorial for the last ever CompRes. It has been a long road since Anne and I decided that producing its predecessor, CompNews, was becoming too much of a burden. That was at the end of 2004 when we signed off the final issue, edition number 174. Since the circumstances then were similar to today, some ten years later, it might be interesting to look at what I wrote at that time: Dear Competitor, As I announced in the last issue, this edition of CompNews is regrettably the final one. The chassis number of this issue is 176, which represents nineteen years’ worth of production during which time we have written something over two million words in reporting the Club’s Ferrari competition scene as well as commenting on other matters of interest, both serious and trivial, to Ferrari enthusiasts. We shall, of course, continue to serve the Club’s competitors to the best of our ability. With the burden of CompNews production at an end, the additional work of running the Ferrari formula classic series in addition to the other competitions can be more easily absorbed. This is an appropriate time to say an enormous ‘thank you’ to all the many of you who have contributed to the success of CompNews over so many years. Whether the contributions have been articles, stories, photographs, snippets of news, they have all been invaluable in the magazine’s production and have been very much appreciated. We also thank those advertisers who have supported us so loyally and you, the readers, who have ploughed through the scribble on a regular basis. It has been great fun doing
CompNews and I am grateful to all the many friends who have been so kind in contacting us to say how much they have enjoyed reading it.
around ten issues during the competition year.
Of course, it didn’t quite work out like that. Far from abandoning race and hillclimb reports, the new magazine quickly became far bigger and more comprehensive than its ancestor had been. With better print reproduction, the quality of the photographs improved unrecognisably. And the whole process became more time consuming than ever. This time we aren’t able to offer a successor to CompRes. However, we hope that whatever system is devised to keep The lovely Miss Tonks. She doesn’t look competitors informed, a day older than she looked in 2004. whether by conventional printing or by digital means, will The illusory Miss Tonks also sends take over where we left off. her seasonal greetings.

2015: WHO’S WHO IN COMPETITION? As many of you will already know, there are some changes in the management of the Club’s competitions for 2015. I shall be stepping down from my role as Competition Director at the AGM in April, although I have been invited to continue as a director of the Club. My fellow director, Gary Culver, has kindly agreed to take over responsibility for this season’s circuit racing programme, which of course is confined to our Classic series now that we have decided to ‘rest’ the Open series in 2015. Gary is extremely experienced, shares my passion for circuit racing, and I am sure this important aspect of Club activity is in the best possible hands. Anne’s role as Race Coordinator is now taken by Steve Burns, who joined us this month on a part time basis. Steve has considerable experience of motor sport. He was for some years the circuit manager at Castle Combe, is an MSA Clerk of the Course, a busy race driving instructor, and is responsible for much of the race admin at Knockhill circuit. He will attend most of the rounds of the Classic series and will, of course, be the link between competitors and the race organisers. The Club office will take on some of the clerical work that was previously carried out by Anne and me, and I am sure that quite soon the new system will be ticking over as sweetly as before. So far as the 2015 Pirelli Ferrari Hillclimb Championship is concerned, Anne will continue to be the Championship Coordinator, and the administration is unchanged from the previous arrangements.

COMPETITION PROGRAMME Included with this issue is a copy of the 2015 Ferrari competition programme. This is correct at the time of printing but please remember that not all the provisional dates have been confirmed at this early stage.
LAP & HILL RECORDS As usual at this time of year we are publishing the current Ferrari lap records at all the circuits together with the fastest times achieved at the majority of our hillclimb and sprint venues. You can find these tabulated at the back of this issue. I recall one very competitive driver who used to cut these out and stick them to his trailer. He would tell you that it was a constant reminder of how much faster he needed to go than he had managed the previous season!
PIRELLI TYRES We are delighted to confirm that this year our circuit and hillclimb Series will once again be sponsored by our long-time friends, Pirelli.
Trofeo R. Competitors have a choice of 16-in or 17-in diameter tyres. In 16-in the tyres are 225/50 R 16 (front) and 245/45 R 16 (rear). In 17-in, the sizes are 225/45 R 17 (front) and 255/40 R 17 (rear). Some competitors have expressed their dilemma in making the choice, assuming that the 16-in diameter tyres will give lower gearing. This is not the case. I asked Pirelli’s competition department to provide me with information on the difference in circumference between the two diameters. For the fronts, the difference is 0.46% and for the rears 1.42%. Put another way, at the same front tyre revolutions cars will be doing 70.32mph on 17-in tyres compared with 70mph on 16-in. The figure for the rears is 70.99mph on the 17in compared with 70mph on 16in. The difference is so small that I doubt that any driver would notice the difference. An additional point made by Pirelli is that the latest 17-in Speedline rims that were supplied last season are probably lighter in weight than older 16-in wheels that competitors may have. This all helps with reducing the allimportant unsprung weight. In the last few days we have received the price list for these tyres from Pirelli. Very shortly we shall be issuing a Bulletin to competitors explaining how to order, the anticipated delivery period, and also details of a very special deal we have negotiated for bona fide registered drivers.
RACING HANS ON The question of personal safety equipment The done deal. Your scribe finalises the is again in the spotlight. 2015 Agreement with Pirelli’s Matthew You will recall that in the Corby and Wayne Nickless. July issue of CompRes I reminded everyone that helmets As indicated in the Pirelli conforming to the SNELL 2000 Ferrari formula classic standard are no longer approved Regulations, this season Pirelli for use this season. Now, for are introducing the List1B PZero
2016 all drivers in circuit racing (it doesn’t apply to hillclimbs) must wear a Frontal Head Restraint, such as a HANS device. This is despite the MSA’s Technical Director, John Symes, categorically stating a few months ago that this was not going to happen. The most recent standard of helmet available at the moment is the SNELL 2010 which will be approved for an unspecified time but certainly for many years (SNELL 2005 ceases to be valid after 31/12/2018). So if, like me, you need to replace your helmet for the 2015 season you should have no fear that it will be redundant any time soon. Having got that off my chest or, more appropriately, from my head, we come to the question of the HANS device – a piece of kit that hasn’t, up to now, occupied too many of my thinking moments. However, it seemed to me that if we are obliged to wear this restraint in 2016 it might make sense to get used to it next season. With that thought in mind I went to the Autosport Show this year with the intention of buying not just a helmet but also a HANS device to go with it. I quaked at the thought of all the cost (I am a Yorkshireman after all). I found Demon Tweeks very helpful and they went to pains to explain all the intricacies of FHRs. It seems that although HANS is the generic name for the device, a number of manufacturers are licensed to make it. I chose a Simpson model – it weighs a bit more than one three times the price but I can’t see that is a problem when you have it on. The straps of your harness, which hold it down, exert a downward force on your shoulders so a few extra grams are neither here nor there. I could see that fitting the FHR tethers to the helmet posts would take a bit of getting used to and the Demon Tweeks man suggested some practice while sitting on the sofa. He also said that some drivers pre-connect
the HANS and helmet, and then put it on as a complete assembly. However, I couldn’t see that would work for me. I find it difficult enough to couple up all the bits of a 4-point harness when wearing my full face helmet, so the extra fiddling caused by the FHR might prove impossible. Some time on the sofa has reaped rewards. I can now clip the HANS to the helmet quickly and, even more importantly, unclip it rapidly without trouble. The head is not uncomfortably restrained and I am pleased to report it isn’t the problem I feared. The reason I have gone on at length about this is that I now feel that wearing the HANS restraint is a Good Idea. Quoting the MSA, “the FHR represents perhaps the single biggest step forward in personal safety equipment in modern times.” Tony Scott Andrews, the MSA Council chairman, opines that “there is absolutely no downside to the use of an FHR”. When I was at the Autosport Show I chatted to a number of well-known sports car drivers, who almost universally said that they now wouldn’t race without wearing an FHR. On which note I suggest that if you still aren’t convinced of the wisdom of the idea, you talk to fellow drivers who have had experience of using the HANS system. One final thing: the Demon Tweeks man turned out to be a fellow Yorkshireman, understood where I was coming from, and arranged a useful discount. So it’s all good!
were short but sweet and, all in all, a good time was had by all. For the few who missed this annual party I can tell you that the format was much as usual. There were the traditional bangers and whizzy things flying around. One or two expressed disappointment that we didn’t have our usual motor racing quiz, but sadly those clever dicks with their mobile smart phones have put paid to that. In addition to the formal presentation of trophies to those who had excelled on the circuits during the season there were lots of other prizes given out during the evening. Later in this issue you will find a gallery of photographs which will give a taste of what went on. This is an appropriate time to thank everyone who contributed to the stunning gifts presented to Anne and me at the end of the evening. We are looking forward immensely to making the trip to the Lake District in the spring, to stay at the fabulous L’enclume hotel at Cartmel. The restaurant here is reckoned to be the finest in the UK and we can’t wait to sample the fare. As well as this hugely generous present, we were given a beautiful arrangement of flowers and a collection of mouthwatering luxury delicacies. It was quite an emotional occasion for us and we owe a big debt of gratitude to all our many Ferrari friends. Thank you so much!
THE RACERS END OF SEASON DINNER The End of Season Dinner, held at the Ardencote Manor Hotel on Saturday, 22nd November, attracted a big gathering of close to 100 guests. Virtually all the 2014 trophy winners were in attendance. The hotel staff excelled themselves, the food and wines were excellent, the speeches

RA’s HILLCOMMENT My Leave of Absence is over and it was very kind of Editor Swifty to give me such generous sick leave. I was probably quite capable of knocking up one of these columns weeks ago, but having at that time only been to Bouley Bay and Harewood did not feel up to speed, literally, on the hillclimb scene. Inevitably I had become out of touch and although aware of the results did not really feel part of it any more, albeit I hoped temporarily. I did surface at the final round at Curborough where it was wonderful to be back amongst my PFHC chums, and then of course there was the Prizegiving Dinner – great fun as always. I must express my great appreciation to Richard Prior and Sally Maynard-Smith for taking much more of the responsibility for the organisation this year, leaving me with little to do but order up the trophies As everyone knows, in 2014 Richard Prior achieved the remarkable feat of back to back Championship wins carrying the previous year winner’s PEP handicap – something only previously managed many years
ago by Robin Ward driving his 308GTB. It was great to see a couple of very well driven 328GTBs next up, with Mike Spicer second overall and Sean Smith third, picking up first and second respectively in the Classic Cup section at the same time. There was the usual close competition at most meetings right through the Ferrari class and the unique rich mix of tipos taking part. The only downside was the declining entry levels – these had held up surprisingly well during the recession. Notably we seem to get very few newcomers and this is definitely the key to keeping the class entries strong for the future.
Getting Serious is what you need to do if you want to move higher up the PFHC scoreboard, and it was notable that two of our drivers raised their game considerably this last season. Sean Smith, having satisfactorily sorted out his 328GTB, had one-on-one instruction at North Weald would you believe. It is not unusual for competitors to attend the schools and practice days held at some of the venues we frequent and they are of course the usual suspects, but one-on-one tuition, whilst the norm on circuits, is something new to my knowledge for our discipline. Anyway, it certainly paid dividends for Sean as he pulled himself out of the mid field for some great results as Richard Prior in full flight at Shelsley Walsh.

already mentioned – just a pity about Mike Spicer! Richard Preece meanwhile has always been one of those extra cerebral drivers who really studies every aspect. He took in one or two of the schools and like Sean really lifted his game with a number of the third spots overall in the Ferrari class, and always finishing much closer to the class winners. Curborough has always been something of an enigma. I recall a few of us going there for the first time in the mid eighties and being not hugely impressed, thinking it somewhat Mickey Mouse, though over the years this view changed to more tricky than Mickey. Located just north of Lichfield in pleasant enough surroundings, Curborough definitely lacks the wow factor. Even so it has always attracted good Ferrari entries and all of us would admit to having lots of fun there. It is also a place where competitors can easily spectate – often getting sight of what their fellow class members are up to. This year the owners, Shenstone & District Car Club, introduced the new“crossover” course – a bit like an open ended figure of eight. This sounded like it could be none too exciting but turned out to be both very different and newly challenging. There were drivers in our class who have raced at Spa, Silverstone GP and all those grown up places, who really enthused about Curborough in October and thought it great, so maybe this small purpose built sprint course is not so bad after all! Richard’s Rant and maybe we all get Meldrew symptoms with age, but it is the latest new cars that really worry me. Quite apart from so many of them being plain ugly they are all
inevitably festooned with mostly unnecessary electronics, which we all know will malfunction as soon as the warranty expires. At a time when the major mechanical components have reached quite exceptional quality in both performance and durability terms, too many of these electronic features will undoubtedly shorten the lives of otherwise well built cars. A really great idea recently introduced is the all-electronic dash panel with computer generated instruments. The 458 has a real rev counter, but the rest of the instruments come out of a cloud or similar. Would you believe some owners have experienced a blackout. At least this has been on four year old cars – I have a friend with an eight month old Range Rover which has no real instruments at all and his has blacked out three times, and the vehicle has now gone in for a new dash tablet or whatever they use. You can be sure the manufacturer has saved a bundle and some weight too but you, as a future owner, will pick up the tab, not to mention the aggro! Oil Prices are looking good and with any luck our fuel bills should be a lot lower in 2015 - so you can enter more rounds of the PFHC! Another way to reduce costs if you have a modern Ferrari is to use 95 RON. I ran my F355 on this for many years and that is the only fuel the handbook refers to. I also did the same with my 550. Now I am a sucker and use 97 or the RON wrong as I call it. On the way back from Curborough on the A5 I spotted an Esso station with petrol at 124p – a good price in October. I went in and filled the F355 tank with 97 before noticing the price was 143p! I can never understand this huge difference though sometimes it is closer. In Europe it is marginal so one can only conclude someone is lifting our legs. CompRes Aftershave (see pic) this is just what you need
after a wet shave if your face seems very sore – just splash it all over and when you have come down off the ceiling you will feel
ready for the start line. Bouley Bay is a really serious hillclimb set amidst spectacular scenery on the north coast of Jersey in the Channel Islands, where there will be a round of the Ferrari Hillclimb Championship on Easter Monday, April 6th. Arrangements are already being made for preferential rates with Condor Ferries, sailing over on Good Friday afternoon and back the following Tuesday. Our tour manager Jon Goodwin has half board accommodation reserved at amazingly low prices and your entry to the hillclimb will be at no cost – it does not get much better than this! Make sure you get the Jersey outing in your diary - it is a really nice short holiday, never mind the hillclimb (and the only holiday your columnist has had in 2014!) Harewood – on May 9 & 10 is always very popular and in years gone by the scene of the largest Ferrari entries. The longest hill we do and the one with the most corners – get them all correct and you will be well up the scoreboard but that is the tricky part. To help this is a double header weekend so loads of runs and with Harewood’s amazingly complex sectional split timing you can find out where you are getting it right or wrong. What’s more, the usual special
hillclimbers dinner with accommodation package close by has already been arranged at the Bridge Hotel at nearby Walshford by local expert John Swift. Loton Park – another double header weekend on July 25 & 26. Always very popular, the hillclimbers’ hillclimb in idyllic scenery on the Welsh boarder provides an exciting and challenging drive with many corners, cambers and different gradients. Once again accommodation and a private dinner party has been arranged at the Mercure Shrewsbury Albrighton Hall Hotel & Spa – a nice venue used by us recently that seems to be suffering from an identity crisis. There will also be the usual Ferrari paddock BBQ on both days, thanks to Jon Goodwin’s efforts on our behalf. Full Details on Bouley Bay, Harewood and Loton Park will be forwarded to you in good time, but please get these not-to-bemissed dates in your 2015 diary right away. The 2015 Season looks like being another great season for the PFHC. You will have the opportunity to really enjoy driving your Ferrari at some exciting and challenging hills and sprints, starting notably with a sprint at Rockingham Motor Speedway where our course will include some of the banked circuit. You need to be quick here or your car can fall over on the banking! Sign off Time and a moment for me to express thanks from all of us for the huge amount of work and dedication put in by John and Anne Swift in writing and producing CompRes and its predecessor Comp News for so very many years. It will never be the same again, but it will be different as we move to a full digital electronic format of which more anon. In the meantime may I wish all of you good health and much success in the New Year.

s always at this time of the year, the computers at CompRes Towers have been stirring and the printers whirring to evaluate last season’s House Points. Every Club member who took part in any race, sprint or hillclimb during 2014 is listed together with his or her points. The system we use is the same as last year and explained in the appropriate pamphlet. We are working on an update for 2015 to take into account the scintillating performance of the latest Ferraris and, by comparison, the slightly less speedy older tipos. The total number of competitors in 2014 was just 75, a reduction of around 6% on the previous year but still a higher number of active competitors than in any other Ferrari club in the world. Although an impressive amount of silverware was presented at the Hillclimbers and Racers End of Season Dinners in November, there remains a small mountain of trophies to be dispensed at the Club’s AGM and Prizegiving Luncheon which takes place at Whittlebury Hall on Sunday, 26th April. As always, we are delighted to see as many competitors as possible at this major annual function, regardless of whether you are celebrating success by picking up an award yourself or simply cheering on your rivals. So here are the results. We have checked and double checked the results for accuracy but if you feel there is an error please do not hesitate to contact us.
