racing at this fast Wiltshire circuit for more years than you can shake a stick at. The enthusiastic crowds come in droves to see our cars and the circuit owners at ’Combe always make sure that Ferrari enthusiasts enjoy their visit.

In accordance with long-standing tradition, we have arranged Ferrari hospitality. Coffee and Danish pastries will be served on arrival, there will be a substantial lunch, and afternoon tea later in the day. All this fare will be served in the Strawford Centre, which we have hired for our exclusive use at this meeting.

For Club members who wish to come and watch the fun, we have arranged for a dedicated Ferrari car park very conveniently situated close to the track.

Members arriving in a Ferrari can take advantage of a 2-for-1 ticket offer. Sue Skinner has circulated all Ferrari Area Groups with details of how to take advantage of this offer.

So far as the racing is concerned, there will be a 20minute race for Classics and a 25 -minute one for the Ferrari Open cars. In addition, there will be a 20-minute event at the end of the day entitled the Tri-Marque Challenge, when Ferraris will take on Aston Martins and Porsches.

It should be great fun.

during the year but our choice of circuits has to be made very much with an eye to costs – some of the more exotic venues, especially in Italy, can be hugely expensive – and distance, and therefore time away, from the UK. Our good pal, David Hathaway, who operates a fleet of huge pantechnicons, has offered to assist in taking the cars to some of the long distance tracks. And I am hoping that our growing reputation for producing exciting and close racing of the world’s finest sports cars will attract circuit owners to offer affordable races at their meetings.

So, when you receive your questionnaire I shall be pleased if you will give careful thought when giving your answers. And don’t tell me you want to race at Monza if you have no intention of doing so!

HAVING FUN

Photo: SwiftyPix

I saw my old mate, Bill Blyth – one time race engineer to Ken Wharton – a few days ago and he generously gave me a couple of books from his motor racing library. One of them is The Ford Book of Competition Motoring, a slim volume published in 1965 which assembles a series of chapters written by well known motorsport personalities of the era, including Stirling Moss,

Bruce McLaren, John Sprinzel, Denis Jenkinson and the like.

A chapter penned by Jim Clark, who had just – in 1963 been crowned World Champion for the first time, contains some interesting thoughts about having fun from motor racing.

He wrote “I look back longingly to my earlier racing days. I got more fun in those days although there’s no doubt that motor racing in the higher echelons does give some greater satisfaction.”

When I was at the British Grand Prix at the beginning of July I was able to compare the expressions on the faces of some of the F1 stars with those of our club Ferrari drivers after a race.

I am sure I know which ones are having the most fun!

FERRARI REPLICAS In the RA column in this issue, Richard Allen comments on the question of Ferrari replicas – the good, the bad and the ugly.

Just by chance, Chris Rea also raised the topic in a recent email, reminding me of something David Piper once said when talking about Ferrari 250GTOs. “The factory made 32 of them and there’s only 36 left.”

COST EFFECTIVE I hadn’t realised how cost effective our Ferrari racing is until I recently chatted to the wife of one of our drivers.

She said “I’m amazed how reasonably priced everything is.

Whatever needs doing to the car, it always seems to be around £200. Last week he (her husband) got quite a serious looking dent in the bodywork that I thought would cost a bomb to fix, but no, ‘Only about £200’ he assured me. It’s really cheap to compete in the Pirelli Ferrari Open!”

The way she tells it, it sounds a bit like Poundland.

BIRTHDAYS IN SEPTEMBER Best wishes to all those whose birthdays are celebrated in September:

WILLIAM JENKINS

News from the world of PFfc is that long-time Ferrari driver, the Swiss based William Jenkins, has decided to retire from the series at the end of the season.

This is, of course, a sad moment because William has been a brilliant competitor for many years: fast, safe, courteous to a fault, and a generally allround nice guy.

However, all is not lost. His famous Gulf Oil-liveried 308GTB has been bought by arch Ferrari enthusiast and talented driver David Tomlin. So Who’s having the most fun? although we shall miss

RA’s HILLCOMMENT Up at the Front of the Championship points chart there looks to be a strong possibility for one of those down to the last round cliffhanger results that we have enjoyed in years gone by.

Early leader Nick Taylor now has his hands full with Richard Prior and Chris Butler coming up on the rails. Andrew Holman has a strong penchant for sprint courses and, with most of the remaining rounds horizontal, also has designs on a top three finish.

Our points scoring system works particularly effectively to ensure a nail biting finish and it looks likely now. Just to ice the cake there is also the close contest going on between Sean Doyle and Mike Spicer for the Classic Cup. FOC Prescott Picnic in July really is about the best form of motor club activity you could wish for – a beautiful location, very sociable and plenty of opportunity to drive your Ferrari up this famous hillclimb course at low cost. Surprising then that this year the attendance was so poor – take out the hillclimb fraternity and those involved in Club organisation and there were not many members left over.

Maybe it is better held in September and rather than discontinuing the event, which presently loses money, we plan to revise the day for 2012 to include more to attract ordinary members. As this is a family publication I will not comment on what went on at Prescott, which up until this year had been incident free. It did not work well for me either when my 458 stopped about 12 miles from the hill, with what turned out to be an empty petrol tank. The fuel gauge thought otherwise and the

308GT4 rebuild – a labour of love certainly as at official Ferrari dealer labour rates he would have a GT4 that cost well over £100.000!

John Marshall very kindly rescued me from my Prescott predicament when I was stranded in Upper Swell, a delightful Cotswold village where the natives were very friendly. I was offered all sorts of assistance besides ‘come in for a cup of coffee’, etc. Just proves those toffs that live around there are not so bad. Anyway I had to get to Prescott after Ferrari Assistance had lifted my 458 to Swindon – the nearest Ferrari dealer being Lovetts (who turned out to be excellent). A call to Peter Everingham soon had John Marshall heading my way and this was a wonderful opportunity to appreciate what an absolutely brilliant job he has done with his

Analogue Man – that’s me, and maybe it is an age thing. My pet hate is DAB radio and the sets they sell nowadays that, apart from poor audio quality, are really hard work to tune in. We have a couple of circa 1970 B&O portable radios, bought new, and they are so much better than the recent radios we have foolishly purchased. OK, this has nothing to do with speed hillclimbing or

Ferraris, but the same reliance on overly clever technology has swamped new cars, and I guess all our readers have at some time been frustrated by some of the ridiculous things that can happen.

Electronic Handbrakes are an example and these are becoming more and more prevalent - if you are a car manufacturer I guess they are easier and cheaper to fit than the mechanical sort. There is one on the 458 and most of the time you just ignore it as the function is automatic – you do nothing. It is absolutely brilliant until the car breaks down or won’t go for any reason – say minor accident damage. The problem then is the handbrake is permanently on and you cannot move the car for recovery unless you have the handbook and the special tools to release the brakes. In some cases where this was not known about it has led to a crane being used to lift the car onto the recovery vehicle!

Andrew Holman and wife Yvonne were spotted at one of the Queen’s Summer Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace (see pic). It is not clear how he came to be invited, though there was a rumour about a Royal Pardon for senior ASBO offenders. You can see from the photo that Andrew even looked respectable on this occasion and, yes, that is Doyle’s cab in the background.

Continental Caper or rather the possibility of a hillclimb in mainland Europe has been talked

CompRes 4

about in PFHC circles for years – you will remember the pilot run at St Gueno. Some decades ago Club members, including one John Swift, used to take part in an event called the Cognac Rally based in the Cognac region of France. Peter Everingham, on a recent visit to this area, stayed with Nick Brimblecombe whose company, Wheelsports Classic Grand Touring, organises overseas tours for us. Nick is acquainted with Michel Fougere, the Mayor of Criteuil, who wishes to create a new motoring event to include the hillclimb that was part of the Cognac rally near to Criteuil in 2012 (see pics), and has engaged Nick to make the necessary implementation plan.

Naturally Nick would like the Ferrari Owners’ Club to run a Ferrari class as a major feature of the show. There would be much partying and celebrations around such an event and it should be truly remarkable and worthwhile for us to be part of. The plan will be to make the event a six or seven day holiday allowing for travelling, taking in some great motoring on the quieter French roads either side of the Criteuil event. Every effort will be made to fit this into the Club calendar, well clear of the usual events we have going on to ensure as many of us as possible can take part. We will bring you more details on this soon.

Replica when used as a descriptive term to cars can mean anything. At the Ferrari Owners’ Club, if we are talking about a 250 GTO or 250 GT SWB that has been recreated accurately by rebodying a 250GTE, we are quite happy that it should turn up for Club events – it is a re-bodied Ferrari and these have been around from the very early days in one guise or another, though most probably for competition. Then there are the abominations, and there are many, from those awful Datsun 240Z GTO replicas, Renault drive line P3s, Pontiac Fiero F355s, and

Jaguar V12-engined Daytona Spiders. Barrie Wood recently went to the rescue of one of these that was broken down thinking it would be an FOC member and then had to beat a discreet retreat! Ferrari SpA are understandably paranoid about fake Ferraris, and not so long ago they produced this brilliantly evocative short movie compiled of clips of Ferraris featured in famous films. It was terrific and would bring a tear to your eye – problem was those young chaps they have working at Ferrari nowadays are not too hot at fake recognition, so the film is rather spoiled by the number of replicas appearing, from Datsun 240Zs to fibreglass Testarossas!

A Replica for Goodwin? – rumour has it that Jon has commissioned the construction of a 250GT short wheelbase on a 250GTE chassis, and furthermore plans to campaign it on the hills.

Sounds terrific – and we look forward to seeing this car next season. You may depend he will keep up with some of the moderns, though we shall miss Lucy the Lusso!

Sean Doyle is now finding rescuing damsels in distress from their bedroom window in his capacity with the London Fire Brigade somewhat irksome and is retiring this October. He will still be busy though, not just with his London cab, but working part time at Mike Spicer’s garage in

Windsor. He has already been practising when Mike recently had some holiday, and relishes being back in this environment where he started out on the spanners as a young man.

25th Anniversary Prizegiving Dinner you will recall is booked for Saturday, 29th October. We always try to make these occasions really memorable and this year will pull out all the stops. On August 16th , Sally Maynard-Smith, Richard Prior and this Richard are meeting the General Manager at Moore Place Hotel to discuss the arrangements. I hope by now you have this date in your diary!

ZANDVOORT 2nd/3rd JULY 2011

F ALL THE OVERSEAS circuits, Zandvoort is perhaps the handiest to get to for British drivers reports JOHN SWIFT. From the Dutch port of Rotterdam it is less than 90 minutes drive, even with a trailer.

And for those living in the north of England and close to Hull, the journey is a doddle.

The circuit at Zandvoort has gone through several manifestations over the years.

Once a proud Formula One track (the last F1 world championship race was held there in 1985), it was severely reduced in length when the Zandvoort town planners wanted more space for

9.00am, with the tarmac now dry and the weather generally beginning to buck up. Johnston, possibly excited his 458 was now able to quench its thirst of premium unleaded, didn’t manage a full lap before he spun into the gravel at Curve 9. Tyres not up to temperature, one suspected, and his car had to be retrieved under the protection of yellow flags.

When the coast was finally clear, Johnston made up for his impetuosity by grabbing pole position by over three seconds from his classmates, Mick Dwane, Craig Milner and Paul Bailey in the other 458s. His time of 1:50.358 compares with the existing Ferrari lap record, set by David Tomlin two years before in his F355 Challenge, of 1:55.958 (where was David this weekend?).

Mark I’Anson (F355/Ch) was the pick of the C1 runners, with a 1:59.146, just a tenth of a second faster than the similarly mounted Gavin Shirley, who hadn’t seen the track before the weekend. There wasn’t much to choose between the pair of Fosker Engineering 456GTs, with Nick Kaye (2:00.158) shading Paul Brooks by about half a second, the latter enjoying new rubber after destroying his Pirellis at Donington Park.

Looking at the Classic runners, Jim Cartwright (2:01.260) was again sensational, outpacing some of the Open cars in his Gp4 328GTB despite never having competed here previously. His nearest rival, also in a Gp4 328, was Gary Culver, some 2.5 seconds back.

Of the five Gp1 and Gp2 drivers, Chris Goddard was easily the quickest in 2:06.502, his highly tuned 308GTB appearing

to have shrugged off its previous unreliability. 2011 marks the continued resurgence of that splendid Ferrari tipo, the GT4, and Tris Simpson led the way in his Gp1 machine with 2:12.816.

The Pace car (“a miserably slow car with only 20 horse power – all we can afford!” as Jeroen Frieman had whimsically told us earlier) took us round to the grid proper and then we waited for the count-down to the start of the installation lap.

fact that the delay had lost us at least five minutes of the race’s planned duration.

The second start was not perfect but much better.

Everyone got away in some semblance of order although your scribe’s 308 bogged down and was the last to reach Tarzan.

On the opening lap, Johnston led the other 458s in the order Dwane, Milner and Bailey. Then it was I’Anson, Shirley and Kaye, heading the C1 class. Jim Cartwright, in 10th overall, was leading the Classic brigade from Culver, with the PFO F355 of Mogridge sandwiched in between.

This order was maintained for the first six laps although Kaye passed Shirley on lap 2 but was quickly retaken, and Swift managed to overhaul Moorwood and Fenny to set off in pursuit of Simpson.

On lap 7, Johnston pulled into the pit lane with a puncture, Graypaul’s pit crew changing the wheel in impressive fashion.

Dwane now took over the baton

Johnston, several hundred metres short of the start line, opened the throttles of his 458 and was clocked at about 150kph as he crossed the line (the required speed is 60 to 80kph).

The red lights were immediately triggered and the start aborted.

Frieman then proceeded to castigate the front row drivers for totally ignoring his instructions at the briefing.

with Milner and Bailey, in 2nd and 3rd, gradually losing ground.

I’Anson was now in 4th and looking invincible in C1 but disaster struck with two laps to go. A freshly painted wheel seemingly had prevented its wheel bolts from being torqued up correctly and the wheel started to wobble. The extra strain on the bolts caused them to shear and, bingo, I’Anson’s car suddenly became a threewheeler.

Also at this time Nigel Jenkins, who had been going well just behind Rob Pulleyn’s F355

Gavin Shirley now found himself leading the C1s from David Hathaway’s 360 Challenge car (amalgamated with C1 due to being the sole C2 runner).

Behind Hathers there was a fierce battle going on featuring Kaye, Brooks, Pat Gormley (in the Kearney F355), and Mogridge.

But also in this gaggle of Open Ferraris was the 328 of Cartwright, with Jim wringing the neck of his Gp4 Classic car. His rival, Culver, was almost 10 seconds in arrears but comfortably ahead of third placed Nick Cartwright.

Chris Goddard was enjoying a trouble free run in his Gp2 308, keeping Fisk at a decent distance.

Of the others, Swift had squeezed past Simpson on lap 8 and managed to keep the Northumbrian in his mirrors to the end.

When the chequered flag finally signalled the end of the abbreviated race, it was Mick Dwane who greeted it – his first victory with his new car.

Johnston, after his tyre problem, took 10th overall but had the satisfaction of setting a new Ferrari lap record in 1:50.770.

Gavin Shirley took the honours in class C1 by some margin, a terrific result.

Goddard collected the Gp2 prize while Tris Simpson was the victor in Gp1.

Jim’s fastest lap, in 2:01.533, decimated the previous record, held by his brother Ben, by almost six seconds. Chris Goddard similarly set a new target for Gp2 in 2:07.071, while Tris Simpson (2:12.571), in his Gp1 308GT4, lowered Moorwood’s previous best by over 4 seconds.

Near the tail, there was a close battle for supremacy between Tris Simpson and your reporter. ‘The Old Blue Thing’ was persuaded to past the Gp1 GT4 a lap from the end but at the flag it was Simpson who snatched the place by a car’s length. Tris’s fastest lap was just 0.001 seconds different to his R1 time which could be of interest to someone at Rolex.

After the race we watched

stupefied as a burly giant of a marshal threatened to smash Ray Ferguson’s face for allegedly reversing in the pit lane, although from the look on the former’s face afterwards, it was just a Dutch joke.

Dutch friends from the past whom we met in the paddock Pat Gormley, at the wheel of Vance Kearney’s F355, included past mixes it with the 456GTs of Nick Kaye and Paul Brooks.

Ferrari Club Nederland President, Nico Koel, and long Hackwood Group Classic Driver of time Ferrari Challenge racer the Meeting – this time the trophy went to Tris Simpson after his gutsy performance.

Finally, we must salute the skilful photographers whose work illustrates this report: John Sinkgraven, who came over to Zandvoort especially from his home in Assen, and South African journalist Trevor Noble, who made the journey from his European base in Antwerp.

Second time lucky. Derek Johnston made no mistakes in Race 2, when he drove his 458 Italia faultlessly to victory.

Michel Oprey. Also racing in other events was ex-airline pilot and Daytona competizione driver Peter Boel, who these days campaigns a formidable Bizzarini.

Yvonne Preston was inveigled to present the trophies.

Just before she did so she was awarded a trophy of her own.

Yvonne, having inexplicably fallen out of bed the previous night, was given an industrial size tiedown strap by David Hathaway so that she could be safely anchored in the future.

The class winners having received their loot, it only remained to reward the

PIRELLI FERRARI HILLCLIMB CHAMPIONSHIP: ROUND 10 GURSTON DOWN 17th JULY 2011

FTER TWO YEARS of low Ferrari entries at Gurston Down we were back to a level of 14 drivers for the July 17th Tony Marsh Memorial meeting reports RICHARD PRIOR. We welcomed Shaun Smith, who was making his PFHC debut in his 328, and had been doing his homework with a previous visit to the Gurston Down Hillclimb school along with Tony Attwood in his Dino 246GT. Jon Goodwin was out again in his gorgeous new 458 Italia, which attracted a great deal of attention, and only Chris Butler was missing from the top end of the Championship.

We were one of the first classes in the programme and we went straight into first practice as soon as we were scrutineered. In the lead was Andrew Holman (F355) on 39.88, closely followed by the similar tipo of Richard

CompRes 16

Prior on 39.99 and then Jon Goodwin, assessing the potential of the 458, on 40.29 seconds.

The weather is best described as changeable so the Pirelli gazebo was erected to protect the drivers. The guy ropes were anchored down just in time for a quick downpour.

Starting the second runs, with windscreen wipers going full blast, Tony Attwood pushed hard on the bottom half of the course

Weather: changeable, although Nick Taylor looks ready for anything.

but couldn’t halt the Dino in time for the right-hander into Karousel and took the slip road as a safe escape route; after reversing back he still got a time on the board of 90.34 seconds.

All our drivers remained in one piece and all but one of the Ferraris were slower due to the damp condition, John Marshall being the exception, improving from 47.62 to 46.80 in the GT4, and Prior traded places with Holman as the fastest two drivers in this run. There were lots of stoppages due to accidents in other classes, with many becoming non-starters for the official runs in the afternoon. It’s worth remembering that practice still doesn’t count towards a trophy position!

Our serious competitors went for ham, eggs and chips at lunchtime in the restaurant adjacent to the startline while sitting and admiring the bravery

of the motorcycle competitors who were still running in the drizzle. Thankfully after lunch the showers had stopped and the track was looking dry again, ready for our competitive runs.

When we reached the top of the hill the printout had stopped working so we didn’t know any times until we crowded eagerly around the TV screens back in the paddock. Tony Attwood recorded 45.63, Shaun Smith a very competent 43.58 on his first ever serious competitive run, followed by Mark Hargreaves who pipped him with 43.17 thanks partly to a higher speed trap figure over the finishing line.

Wendy Ann Marshall was progressing from her practice times and was now down to 48.07, and a tussle was expected between the next two cars of Barrie Wood (308GTS) and Pauline Goodwin (328 GTB). The screen showed PG in front by over a second and the quickest 064ft start time so far of 2.39 seconds.

The next group of Andrew Holman, Phil Whitehead and Nick Taylor were only fractions apart; Andrew in the provisional lead with 38.21, Nick in the 348 GTC on 38.63, and Phil (F355) on 38.69 (beating his previous best by 1/100th of a second).

Mike Spicer (328GTB) was in a class of his own on 40.44 although Sean Doyle was absent - and was happily in front of Pauline Goodwin and John Marshall (308GT4) on 41.23 although some way behind the bigger cars. Jack Hargreaves rounded off the Ferrari class by stepping into the family 308 vacated by father Mark and promptly went quicker by over 0.7 of a second in 42.44. The other classes were still causing delays as a Lotus Elise rolled after crossing the finishing line (not impossible as it curves to the right over a crest) and despite having crumpled its bodywork was still happy to see he’d beaten the 458’s time.

For Run 2, in the running order sequence, the first three of Attwood, Smith and M

Shaun Smith made his PFHC debut with this smart 328GTB.

Hargreaves all improved nicely by around a second, with Tony showing how to get a 246 GT moving from the line in a respectable 2.55 second over the first 64 feet. Wendy Marshall was also quicker by over 1.5 seconds, to 46.49, and Barrie Wood had a cracking first half of the run and was narrowly ahead of Pauline’s first run by just 2/100ths of a second on 40.95.

However the lady with the lightning starts came back (even though her sector time in the middle was slower than Barrie’s) and regained 8th place on scratch with 40.75.

Whitehead got down to 37.53, ahead of Holman, but next up was the man himself who returned fire with 37.36 and snatched the final podium place back from Phil. Gooders had the 458 on song through both speed traps, 91mph at the bottom of the hill at Hollow and 97mph over the finishing line (but not as fast as John Marshall had managed in the 430 Scud in 2010) and clocked a potential winning time of 36.14.

Nick Taylor was next but could only manage 40.19, with the GTC running on 7 cylinders.

Mike Spicer was in a comfortable position but under braking managed to spin at Karousel, quickly returning to the track to complete his run and losing only 2.5 seconds. The quick thinking marshals put out the red flags for

next man Prior who was already on his way from the startline and would probably not have caught the 328 in front. But he now had the advantage of warm sticky tyres and knew it was an excellent chance to catch Goodwin for a scratch win.

The restart was excellent (2.33 secs), a decent speed of 88mph at Hollow, and a halfway split of 19.44 (not bad considering the only quicker split on record is the 430 Scud on its record breaking run) and 0.7 up on Jon’s fastest split of the day.

Prior was smiling as he rounded Karousel perfectly, his sector time here was fastest of the day and over 0.25 faster than the 458’s last run. But with all the panic Prior put the 355 into 3rd gear instead of 1st as he entered the final corner of Ashes; on the exit he floored the throttle and was initially puzzled by the lack of acceleration as the car crept slowly up the steep incline towards the finish. A blown chance to beat the 458 on the track if ever there was one!

Miffed would be a polite description of the feeling of this botched run.

Next was John Marshall, although we had expected nothing more today from John as it was his first season in the restored GT4. However he put in a fantastic run of 40.1, matching Prior’s 2.33 start, and finished ahead of Mike Spicer’s 328,

CompRes 17

taking 6th place on scratch. Last in the Ferrari class was Jack Hargreaves in the shared 308 GTB. His was his best run of the day (41.64) which kept him ahead of his dad by 0.6 seconds The handicap award went to John Marshall for his exceptional performance, beating his target time of 42.00 seconds. Well done, John! The points, after PEP factors had been applied, went to Prior (20 points), Holman 17

points, and Phil Whitehead 15 points. John Marshall picked up 12 points ahead of Nick Taylor, who only picked up 11.

It’s been a long time since the Championship was looking this close; usually one particular on-form driver seems to make a clean sweep throughout the year but with 20 points now taken by all of the top drivers we had the potential of a 4-horse race for the end of the season.

A lonely Prior collected all of the class awards for the Ferrari drivers at the prizegiving, which included a special presentation from the local BARC club to 90 year old Stan Hunt who was a founding member of the Gurston Down Hillclimb and one of the few surviving Lancaster bomber flight crew from WWII. The next round of PFHC sees a return to sprinting at MIRA at the beginning of August. 

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS 22nd-24th JULY 2011

HERE MUST BE SOME exceptions to this, but ask any experienced Ferrari driver which is their all-time favourite race track and the unhesitating answer will be ‘Spa!’ writes JOHN SWIFT. It’s not really difficult to see why. There is no other circuit, certainly in Europe, that possesses so many mind-blowing features.

Whether it’s the worldfamous roller coaster of Eau Rouge, the sinuous Les Combes at the top of the Kemel Straight, the unique double-apex at Pouhon, or the flat out blind at Blanchimont (with the trouserstiffening sting in its tail), every element is pure joy.

So once again, our annual pilgrimage to Spa-Francorchamps would be the highlight of the Club’s race programme, and some 35 Ferrari drivers from our two race series set off to Belgium to do battle. As usual, to provide a viable number of cars for this

long circuit, we amalgamated the PFfc and PFO Ferraris in two races, which we extended this year by one lap to make sure the slower Classics (which were bound to be lapped by the frontrunning Open Cars) would complete at least 7 laps.

The timetable of events was straightforward. On the Friday, the busiest day of the 3-day

meeting, there would be the opportunity to take part in up to three free testing sessions for GT cars, each of 25 minutes duration. Then, in the afternoon, there would be two qualifying sessions of 20 minutes, with Q1 deciding the grid of R1, and Q2 for R2.

The first of the two 25minute races was timed for

around mid-day on Saturday with the final race of the weekend late morning on Sunday, allowing everybody to leave for home the same day.

Since we were at Spa in 2010, a brand new state-of-theart hotel has opened right next door to the circuit. The four-star Hotel de la Source is built overlooking the hairpin at La Source and, providing the access gate is open (it wasn’t for this meeting) it is possible to walk through a pedestrian tunnel into the assembly area on the F1 pits level. We block-booked all the available rooms at the hotel for the Ferrari contingent, and all those who stayed there were impressed with the facilities.

When we arrived on Thursday we were surprised to find some 60 young musicians, mostly French, were staying at the hotel that night. Many of them were toting their instruments around the foyer including some slender young things with substantial cello and double bass cases that must have weighed a ton. They were playing at a ‘pop’ concert at Spa that evening and they eventually boarded a couple of buses to take them into town. They even invited Didier Benaroya to go to listen to them but he politely declined as dinner was just about to be served.

The weather is always a talking point at Spa and the pundits suggested that it would rain at some time during the weekend but none was sure just when. Shaun Marriott and his Pirelli compatriots, with a smart gazebo latched on to their truck, seemed to be ready for whatever the conditions might be.

The entry in the PFO section was boosted by a couple of ‘guest’ runners. Leon Price, who is registered for the series in a 430 Challenge car, asked if he could bring his brand new 458 GT3, a projectile that he normally would share with Rob Barff. We aim to please so we agreed, with the proviso that he would race hors de combat i.e. just for fun.

The second guest was the

German driver Dirk Adamski who competes successfully with his 458 Challenge in the factory-run Ferrari Challenge championship.

Again, the rules were the same.

Graypaul Racing brought along the 458/Ch cars of Derek Johnston and Craig Milner. They should have also had Mick Dwane’s on board but unfortunately Mick’s car was badly damaged the previous Tuesday when, testing a new aero package, the Dutch Intrax specialist’s test driver lost control at Blanchimont and hit the barriers. With the 458 out of commission, the Dwane camp was confined to the 360 Challenge which was entered for Jack to drive. Sportingly, it was agreed that father and son should share the car, doing one race each.

FF Corse were also out in force. As well as Leon’s GT3

Ferrari they brought along the 430 Challenge cars of Gary Eastwood and Ian Hartley. Our old pal David Hathaway brought not one but two of his vast blue trucks. As well as transporting his own silver 360/Ch, he was ferrying David Tomlin’s 430 Challenge, Tim Mogridge’s F355, and the pair of Fosker Engineering 456GTs to be driven

by Paul Brooks and Nick Kaye.

Vance Kearney showed us his newly converted and very smart motor home into which he can (just) squeeze his black F355 to be shared this time with Lee Moulden. Of the other PFO competitors, all had been out with us previously this season.

In the 18 strong Classic lineup, there were only two drivers who hadn’t raced with us at Spa before. Pauline Goodwin had finally made the decision to compete here (we’ve tried to

convince her she would enjoy it many times before, without success). And Danny Winstanley, the 19-year old from Lancashire who has been setting the tarmac alight in GT Cup with a TVR Sagaris, was having his first outing at the wheel of a Gp3 328GTB purchased just the week before.

Most drivers took advantage of the testing sessions and the only problem we noted was that William Jenkins’s fire extinguisher was activated by mistake. The froth flooded cockpit was rapidly cleaned up by the team from QV. The weather for these sessions was variable, so we had an early refresher course of what Spa is like in the rain.

Qualifying 1 The Ferraris were called up for their first qualifying period early in the afternoon.

The two shared cars, the 360/Ch and the F355/Ch, had Jack Dwane and Lee Moulden at their respective wheels. The track was dry although a continually changing cloudscape suggested rain might be just around the corner.

David Hathaway’s 360 never really got going properly, the engine’s electronic brain deciding to shift into ‘get -you-home’ mode and cut out one bank of cylinders. When this happens, the car is so slow that one hopes that home is fairly close by, otherwise you might be

CompRes 21

away for days.

Tris Simpson, who had arrived at the circuit quite late with his 308GT4, had a nonfunctioning transponder so was not given a lap time.

About halfway through the session Chris Goddard suffered a failure of his 308GTB’s rear stub axle. The car ended up some way down the old pits straight with a rear wheel at 45° to the direction of travel. Chris was fortunately unharmed and the car, apart from some local damage to the rear wheel arch area, seemed to be in remarkably good order.

At the end of the session, Hathaway’s 360 was given an SD2 check by the team from Graypaul Racing, and a damaged electric wire was found to be the cause of the engine management system’s shut down. Rectifying the stub axle failure on Goddard’s 308 wasn’t so straightforward.

After exploring a number of ways of obtaining replacement parts, help was summoned from the UK and the necessary bits were gathered together and a van set off for an overnight trip to Spa, arriving in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The timesheets for Q1 showed Derek Johnston had bagged pole position with a startling time of 2:34.335. To put this into perspective, the existing PFO record stands at 2:41.723, set last year by Leon Price in his 430/Ch. The next four cars, those of Eastwood, Tomlin, guest Adamski and Price himself, were also under this target. Nick Kaye, in one of the Fosker Engineering 456GTs, was the pick of C1, some 3 seconds ahead of the leading F355 Challenge car of Moulden.

In the Classic section, new man Winstanley was the fastest with 2:56.184, just shy of Gary Culver’s existing Gp4 lap record (2:55.569) and three tenths of a second quicker than Jim Cartwright. The fastest Gp2 time was set by Chris Goddard just before his stub axle drama while the experienced William Moorwood put his 308GT4 at the

top of the Gp1 pecking order.

Qualifying 2 Q2 was the last session of Friday afternoon and although black clouds were massing overhead, the sun came out briefly and the track remained dry. Pauline Goodwin had a spectacular spin at Eau Rouge as she tried to improve her already impressive lap times. She emerged unscathed and continued, albeit with a slightly increased pulse rate perhaps.

David Tomlin was experiencing strange vibrations on his 430 and visited the pits to investigate. Despite this his times were very quick.

Hathaway’s 360/Ch was now on song and he posted a useful time.

Adamski came into the pit lane with his 458 Challenge car on fire. Despite being equipped with extinguishers the marshals appeared not to know how to handle the situation and the flames were rapidly put out by the German’s pit crew.

Mike Reeder brought his F355 into the pits and stopped halfway through the session for unspecified reasons and the similar car of John Shirley was having clutch problems, diagnosed as a hydraulic leak in the system. Tim Mogridge

complained that his F355 was down on power and this was suspected to be due to a cracked exhaust manifold.

Sharing a bag of Belgian chips with Leon Price after Q1, we detected a certain gloomy disenchantment David Hathaway with his qualifying time in his potentially pole setting 458 GT3. The gloom instantly vanished with the publication of the Q2 timesheet: his time of 2:32.237 was now at the top of the page, a couple of seconds faster than Johnston’s time with the Challenge car.

Behind this pair, the times of the next three, Eastwood, Adamski and Tomlin could barely be separated by the watches. Kaye was again quickest of the C1 brigade, from Mike Reeder with his F355. The other F355s weren’t far behind, with Kearney, Shirley and Mogridge the best of the rest.

This time it was Jim Cartwright’s turn to lead the Classic qualifying times, his time of 2:54.067 being just over half a

second quicker than Winstanley (but both well ahead of the respective existing Group records). There wasn’t much to choose between the Gp3 times of Ben Cartwright and Chris Butler, the latter being delighted with recent improvements to the performance of his car.

In Goddard’s enforced absence from Q2, William Jenkins posted the fastest class time while Nick Whitaker beat Moorwood for Gp1 honours.

In the evening around 45 of us gathered at the Hotel de la Source for the traditional Spa Ferrari Dinner. We had taken a plentiful supply of Prosecco with us from England (after persuading the helpful hotel management to forego any corkage charge) and this proved to be a perfect match for the delicious canapés we all enjoyed.

The meal seemed to be to everyone’s liking and the accompanying wines flowed endlessly along with the animated conversation.

Race 1

Derek Johnston won Saturday’s race by the slender margin of 0.374 seconds from Leon Price, the latter seen here attached to his tail coat.

Saturday’s 25-minute race was timed for 12.10 and the weather, despite overnight rain, was dry and breezy. To everybody’s delight, not least its driver and crew, Goddard’s 308 had been repaired and seemed to be in ‘go’ order. Everyone else was present and correct and we hoped they were all concentrating on making a decent rolling start (remembering the hiccups we’d

CompRes 23

had at Zandvoort earlier in the month).

When we assembled in the collecting area, a chap on a motorbike whizzed around with a board telling us it was a ‘Wet Race’. I couldn’t see any rain, or even the prospect of any, so we could only assume the organisers knew something everyone else didn’t. Normally the ‘Wet Race’ board means we get an extra green flag lap but when asked if this applied they simply shrugged their shoulders.

Unfortunately the start procedure was not all that great.

Because the pace car driver failed to slow down sufficiently after Blanchimont to allow the grid to close up, some of the drivers were still negotiating Bus Stop to find the race had already begun.

Off the line it was Johnston in the lead, with Adamski and Price in hot pursuit. As the closely bunched field completed the first lap, it was Eastwood right on the leader’s tail and then Adamski. Price had dropped to 4th and then, after a little gap, it was Hartley, Marrs with the noisy 360GTC, Milner and, going beautifully, Jack Dwane. The two 456GTs were neck and neck, with Kaye fractionally ahead of Brooks.

Jim Cartwright was leading Classic, separated from second man Winstanley by Shirley’s F355. Then it was Mogridge’s off -colour F355 with Butler on his boot lid.

On lap 2, Whittaker spun his GT4 in the middle of Eau Rouge and Pauline Goodwin, close behind, spun in sympathy in a clever avoidance. Gary Eastwood had a dramatic time at Raidillon when a rear tyre blew at 130mph. He controlled things effectively and missed the barriers, but his race was over.

Meanwhile Price had moved into second and was trading fastest laps with the leader, Johnston.

Mike Reeder had been experiencing electrical bothers since he had arrived and with a faulty alternator his F355’s battery ran out of juice after three laps causing him to retire.

CompRes 24

Jim Cartwright finished ahead of Winstanley by a margin of nearly four seconds (Danny had a spin at Bus Stop when the brakes started to grab) and set a new Gp4 lap record of 2:53.111 – an incredible pace for a road Ferrari running on treaded tyres.

Chris Butler took second place in Gp3 from Ben Cartwright, while William Jenkins delivered the goods in Gp2. In Gp1, William Moorwood captured first place after a faultless drive.

Tomlin had finally discovered the reason for his 430’s vibration.

Apparently the previous day he had driven the car over a depression in the paddock and the front splitter had made contact with the tarmac. Looking around the car he found the splitter was quite loose with most of its retaining bolts missing.

Helped by Graypaul’s Sean Bates, he got to work with the electric drill and secured the offending piece of aero kit to the car once again.

Although the track was soaking, the man on the motorcycle with the ‘Wet Race’ board was strangely missing!

Your reporter had had a quiet word with the German Race Director and this time the pace car did a far better job of making the rolling start a reasonable success. Track conditions were decidedly tricky and great care was the watchword.

With pole man Leon Price retaining the lead the big field completed the first lap without incident. Tracking Price were Adamski and Johnston, and then there was a bit of a gap to Eastwood, Marrs and Tomlin.

William Jenkins, the previous day’s Gp2 victor, had a few dicey moments on that opening lap and decided that discretion might be the better part of valour, bringing his 308GTB in to retire.

It was on the second lap that everything went wrong for David Hathaway. Coming out of the left -hander at Radaillon his 360/Ch snapped out of line and he found himself travelling backwards at high speed into the Armco barriers. Although the luckless David was unharmed his Ferrari took a bit of a battering, and it was some time before the recovery team could move the car to a safe position.

Guest driver Dirk Adamski (458 Challenge) was victorious in the rain affected Sunday race. Here he leads Gary Eastwood’s 430.

We had been told at the briefing that in the event of an incident of this sort, which required marshals on the track to extricate a car, instead of a safety car the ’60K’ board would be displayed. At this point all drivers are supposed to immediately reduce speed to a maximum of 60kph, not pass, and not attempt to close on the cars ahead. The procedure met with only varying degrees of success.

Because of the large distance between some of the marshals posts, not everyone received the message at the same time. Some drivers missed the boards altogether, some ignored them, and some of the marshals made only a half hearted effort of displaying their boards. The result was unsatisfactory and a few drivers, who had reacted instantly, naturally felt aggrieved to have been passed during the exercise.

When the coast was finally clear and the ‘60K’ boards were brought in, the green flag procedure to cancel the operation was similarly flawed. The flag display was spasmodic and several drivers missed the signal entirely. When it finally dawned on everyone that the race was on again, Leon Price found himself being passed by four cars.

It was now Johnston at the front, with Adamski and Eastwood vying for second.

Tomlin, his car now to his liking, was sitting on the tail coats of

the slippery conditions and was leading the Gp1 group while your scribe had passed Goddard’s now smoking 308GTB to take the lead in Gp2.

We noted that Rob Lee Moulden in Kearney’s F355/Ch takes lots of Pulleyn had a kerb at La Source in the first race. spin in his Price.

Tris eight laps. Naturally, because of Simpson seemed to be relishing the conditions, times were far

slower than the previous day’s although 4th placed Leon Price had the satisfaction of setting the quickest lap.

Guest driver Dirk Adamski had the pleasure of standing on the top step of the podium alongside PFO runners-up Derek Johnston and Gary Eastwood.

Jim Carty was the overall Classic winner and Gp4 victor while second placed Danny Winstanley won Gp3 and was adjudged the Hackwood Group ‘Classic Driver of the Meeting’ – quite an achievement on his first drive with us.

With a liberal amount of the always appreciated embraces, Hillary Tomlin handed out the prizes at the Pirelli tyre truck. It had been a motor racing weekend of great excitement, with one or two spills but fortunately nothing serious.

Those who took part had better let me know if they want to do Spa again next year!

Famous double. Jim Cartwright drove his Gp4 328GTB to overall Classic victories in both races.
