FERRARICOMPETITIONRESULTS CELEBRATORY RED Another opportunity to use our glad rags this month! Our red cover celebrates the notable Ferrari victory in the European GP on 24th June, when Fernando Alonso brought his F2012-295 home ahead of the cream of Formula One. The Spaniard was the toast of both Spain and Italy in one of the most emotional wins we have seen for a very long time. Alonso’s victory puts him at the top of the Drivers’ Championship – the only F1 driver to have scored maximum points twice this season. We send our congratulations and best wishes to the factory with the hope that they can build on this great success throughout the remainder of the season.

meeting without the necessity of registering for PFO. The provisional timetable we mentioned, insofar as our Ferrari Club Challenge racing is concerned, is given on the left.

RACING OVERSEAS

Some time ago we notified all our registered race competitors that in order to 12.25 – 12.45 Qualifying (20 compete in overseas events it is mins) now mandatory to have MSA 17.15 Race 1 (25 authorisation. mins) We duly submitted a list of SUNDAY 16/09 all our drivers who are in possession of minimum National 12.45 Race 2 (25 ‘A’ competition licences (another mins) requirement!) and we have just received the Visa Authorisation cars eligible for our Pirelli Ferrari certificates from the MSA. Open series. For those PFfc We are currently checking competitors who are able to lay these for accuracy and, once their hands on a suitable Ferrari, completed, the MSA will forward they will be able to race at this a certificate to each competitor, so that they WHAT’S ON will also hold a copy themselves. Please 14/15 Loton Park Hillclimb remember to keep this certificate safely with your 17 FOC: Donington Park Track Day comp licence.

In the May issue of JULY CompRes we gave you all the latest information about the Ferrari Racing Days event at Silverstone on 1416 September. We now have a provisional timetable and some other details we were AUGUST waiting for. Very soon we shall be issuing entry forms (they need to be returned to Anne at Chevy Chase for this one) together with all the other essential information competitors will need. Sadly I have no good news for Classic Ferrari drivers and, unless there is SEPTEMBER a major change of policy at Maranello, the Ferrari Club Challenge races at this event will be restricted to

LAP RECORDS Last month we published all the current lap records – up to the end of last season – for the Pirelli Ferrari formula classic series. Now it’s the turn of the Open series and towards the back of this edition you will find the equivalent records for Pirelli Ferrari Open. This year, all our Ferraris seem to be going faster than ever before so we expect many of the times recorded in this list to be significantly bettered.

RA’s HILLCOMMENT Past Halfway in the 2012 season as we get ready for the busy Loton Park double header next weekend as I write these notes. Richard Prior is going really well now and, fully F355 experienced, seems to have a comfortable lead in the Championship as does Mike Spicer with his 328GTB in the Classic Cup. This is still no time to ease up, particularly for Richard, with both Andrew Holman and Chris Butler likely to close in. Chris in particular has competed in few rounds so far and can pile on the points whilst Andrew, on previous form, is likely to score strongly at Hethel and both Curboroughs. Richard, of course, is carrying the last year’s Championship winner’s extra PEP penalty, and to date only Robin Ward has managed the feat of winning back-to-back series wins carrying this handicap. A Record Entry for the FOC Hill Climb series at Loton Park, with twenty nine Ferraris lined up for the Sunday meeting. For many years it was Harewood that pulled the big entries - back in the early days more than twenty was not uncommon - but recently it has of course been Curborough that broke new records for Ferrari numbers. Bearing in mind the recent awful weather and the economic climate too, the Loton Park entry is even more astonishing. More on Loton where Hagley & District Light Car Club held a special charity day on Saturday 30th June. They ran a couple of these Motoring Festivals a few years back and very popular they proved too. Members of the public are able to

buy tickets for rides up the hill in members’ cars, and these are of course more expensive for the very popular cars like Ferraris. Monies raised are donated to the Midlands Air Ambulance and a local charity. The weather was nice and over a 1000 tickets were sold. There were eight PFHC drivers on hand and they got in around a dozen runs each, so the ones to watch out for competing there are Pauline Goodwin, Richard Prior, Sean Doyle, Mike and James Spicer, Nick Taylor and Tracey Haynes. More on Doune reported in this issue where Chris Butler organised the Club’s usual splendid dinner at the Dunblane Hydro Hotel. More than thirty people sat down to an excellent dinner in a private suite. Guests included Scottish Area Group Organisers, local FOC members and our friends from Graypaul Edinburgh. On the Sunday, Graypaul had both a 458 Spider and FF on display, and these were joined by members’ cars in the special area provided by the Lothian Car Club. Sadly, due to the many incident delays in the

meeting taking out the lunch break, the Ferraris did not get their usual hill cavalcade. Our entry was of course very low this year, and this seems a shame bearing in mind the Ferrari emphasis Doune has take on in recent years. I know it is a long way to go, but make a short holiday out of it like Bouley Bay and it is very worthwhile – certainly one of the most exciting hills on the calendar to drive. John Buchan may not be a familiar name to you unless you have read the Thirty Nine Steps, but the John in our picture is not an author but a noted Ferrari race car preparer, and Team Manager for Rosso Verde squad who run Hector Lester and Allan Simonsen in GT3. I was introduced to John by Gary Culver’s father-in-law, David Preston, when my 328GTB suffered major fuel tank contamination at Knockhill the week before Doune some years back. John, a stalwart FOC member, owns both a 328 and F355 so is a man of taste. Originally from Glenvarigill and subsequently Graypaul, the

Ferrari dealership in Edinburgh, he started his own business in premises south of Edinburgh near Carlops. I go there on the way to Doune - there is a brilliant B&B located on the same quiet rural estate, and I usually get to see John if he is not away racing down south. This year, he showed me over the race cars on site. The 458 Italia GT3 is particularly impressive, with a sequential gearbox that has the paddle activated gearshift mechanism driven by compressed air. The brilliant seven-speed DSG box on the road car is not robust enough for serious long distance racing apparently. His team has had many successes previously running a 430GT3 and are already front runners with the 458.

Sally Maynard-Smith has been a dinner lady for many years now, with her handiwork being most evident in our Annual Prizegiving Dinner. Some of you newer competitors may not know that in years gone by she has been both a competitor and also Championship Co-ordinator. Great news, then, to hear she has extricated her dormant 328GTS from the back of the barn and is having it brought back to life in order to rejoin the series. Sally has been very busy of late, having just started up a new business with her eldest daughter, but plans to get out later this season. PFHC at the Concours, looking resplendent amongst the legions of polishers at the recent Boughton House Club Concours, were Richard Prior’s F355, Brian Jackson’s 308GTB and Tony Attwood’s 246GT. We have displayed hillclimbers’ cars at the Concours over very many years, and I well remember when Richard P was still a relative new boy, I asked him to bring along his 348ts. Better than that, he fitted it with a dummy driver – one of those blow-up dolls wearing a race suit and helmet! (see pic) First Class to Concours for your correspondent, who

travelled in one of those formidable new, immensely powerful Ferrari FF s very kindly loaned by Lancaster Ferrari in Colchester. Even though I was very wary of this big machine on the country roads in Suffolk, it was easy to drive. Most of the controls are similar to the 458 and therefore I was immediately familiar with what goes on. The steering is very direct and general ride and handling sublime. Unusually for a Ferrari, road noise brought on by very wide tyres is well subdued and the car is a quiet, and very comfortable, way to travel. Certainly if you start to push harder the sonorous exhaust note becomes very symphonic as our Italian chums would say. All in all, a most interesting experience and I could go on for several pages about the FF in RA but space precludes such ramblings.

Photo Shoot. The Ferrari FF is the perfect high speed vehicle for a spot of serious huntin’ and shootin’. Christy Chiltern-Hunt demonstrates its consummate ability to swallow all the necessary gear including the dogs and, of course, that essential Beretta Over/Under 12-gauge.

One thing I must tell you is that now Ferrari have finally introduced cruise control. They have named it ‘Pit Speed’! (see pic) Huntin’ & Shootin’ (see pic) seemed like a good theme for a photo of the four wheel drive hatchback Ferrari FF, so I persuaded Richard Preece to bring out his prized Olympic Beretta 12-gauge over-&-under with accessories, to shove in the back compartment. A quick word with Nigel Chiltern-Hunt and we lured his younger daughter, Christy, in to a photoshoot after assuring her that she could keep her clothes on – the idea was to create a different kind of Ferrari picture and show the car being used in the way gentry would contemplate.

Motorway Speed Limits have come in for some press coverage of late with the government floating the idea of raising the limit to 80 mph. Strange though it may seem, I do not think that is a good idea. Should the present 70 mph limit be properly policed then that would be different. Most people drive over 70 already and many are over 80 – raise the limit to 80 and they would soon be doing 90 plus. Damon Hill who should know better says the highest speed limit should be 55 mph in a recent issue of The Daily Telegraph. Most people are not safe to drive over 55 mph opines Hill. He believes the roads are very dangerous and says the proposal to lift the limit to 80 makes him shudder. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but these ideas about drastically lowering speed limits have one

very serious flaw – simple mathematics applied illustrates that a huge increase in traffic levels would result, leading to even more congestion than we already have. Pirelli Hats have been around our Club comp scene for many years reflecting our long association with the company. Andrew Holman, our PFHC haberdashery agent, tells me he has received from Pirelli a consignment of new hats carrying the latest Pirelli design. Form a queue on the right . . .

UST SEVEN DAYS AGO it was a scorcher at Prescott but the rain had returned for the hillclimb at Shelsley Walsh and this is one venue where you want a dry predictable surface reports RICHARD PRIOR. The Esses were greasy under the trees at the top end of the track, and our Ferrari competitors took a cautious approach on Saturday in first practice. Colin Campbell (246) went up in 57.50 seconds but most of the field were in the 40-second bracket. Andrew Holman (F355) was braver than most, posting 39.09. The drizzle came and went during the morning, and in the afternoon there was almost a dry line on the lower half of the course for the later runners. Of course the in-between greasiness still remained in places and caused a few delays for offs and recoveries, and some exciting tail out exits from the Top Ess. 2nd practice saw improvements for most (depending on their chosen batch to practice in) and the lucky few of Richard Prior (F355), Sean Doyle (348) and Andrew Holman were quick to take the offer of a 3rd practice run very late in the day. At this time conditions were the best of the weekend. Sean clocked 40.64 (a shame for him it was only practice) Prior was on 38.29, but Holman continued his domination with 37.46. This was

to be the quickest Ferrari time of the weekend as the following day, during the official runs, it would return to drizzle after some heavy overnight rain. On Sunday, the first run showed the Ferrari times were between 2 and 4 seconds slower than the previous day. Prior had now turned the tables on leader Holman with a 40.75 compared with Mad Dog’s 42.00. Mike Spicer was in provisional 3rd place with 42.43, taking a healthy margin over John Marshall (308 GT4) recording 43.18 and Phil Whitehead (355) on 43.29. Pauline Goodwin was 2.25 seconds quicker than Andrew Duncan in the 348 GTC on 47.17, with Sean Doyle and James Spicer in the tb versions on 47.83 and 48.30 respectively. On run 2, Wendy Ann Marshall (328GTB) hit 51.34 seconds and Andrew Duncan moved up to 46.80. James Spicer had jumped ahead of Doyle, leading him all the way from an excellent start of James Spicer in the quicker of the two 348s. 2.84 seconds, better on every split and 5mph

faster through the Esses approach speed trap. John Marshall was slower on this run which gave Pauline the chance to get ahead of him by 1/4 of a second, with 42.93. Holman dipped under 40 seconds on his last attempt and became provisional leader with 39.35. Prior had other ideas though and blasted up the steep hill in 38.75 to snatch the class win away from him. Pauline was, as ever, the quickest starter with a 2.71 in the tricky conditions and Prior had the fastest speed trap figures of the day with 76mph (mid way) & 90mph (finishing line). Mike Spicer's splendid 4th place on scratch gave him 13 points on PEP, Phil Whitehead was now comfortable with his new 355 and an improvement to 40.54 on his final run gave him 3rd place on scratch and PEPs, rewarding him with 15 points and his best result in the Championship this year. Holman bagged 17 points while Richard Prior overcame his 1% champion’s PEP to take the full 20.

are certain vantage points where one can see virtually the whole of the action on the pesky 1.2 mile layout. However, drivers tend to have differing views, with some enjoying the distillation of exciting corners while others are more critical about certain features, in particular the potential hazard of Druids corner. Your writer can’t even remember a Ferrari race when at least one car wasn’t involved in some drama at this tricky hairpin.

Q1 The conditions for qualifying were good. Although the skies looked leaden the course was dry after early morning drizzle had evaporated. We noted that William Moorwood’s 308GT4 still didn’t sound quite right and the engine problems encountered at the previous round, at Oulton Park at the beginning of the previous month, appeared to be unresolved. Martin Hart, having his first outing in the ex-Graham Reeder 328GTB, was finding things a bit unfamiliar after his Mondial. Martin was also having his first drive after his recent hip replacement. Nick Whittaker’s Gp1 GT4 was lapping in a haze of oil smoke due, it was thought, to

an insecure filler cap. On paper it was anticipated that Jim Cartwright, following his recent success here in a VW Cup race, would be favourite to claim pole position in his Gp4 328GTB. Clearly David Tomlin hadn’t read the script and he confidently put his ex-Jenkins Gp2 308GTB at the top of the timesheets with a lap in 56.655, around half a second quicker than Jim could manage. Wayne Marrs, in 3rd, was virtually on Jim’s time with Nigel Jenkins also well up. Ben Cartwright, whose car has recently suffered from some obscure electrical problems, was

pleased he had entered at the last moment as his 328 behaved faultlessly and posted the fastest time in Gp3. Whittaker, despite his car’s oiliness, was the fastest Gp1 driver, just the merest fraction quicker than his stable companion, Tris Simpson, in his similar GT4.

good. When the lights went out Tomlin made a great launch from pole and led the tightly bunched field into Paddock Hill Bend. Right on his tail were the Gp4 cars of Jim Cartwright, Marrs and Jenkins. Then it was a fast starting Chris Butler just ahead of Walker, Hart and Everingham. Tris Simpson was the leading Gp1 contender with Chairman Allen (Gp3 328GTB) resolutely attached to his boot lid. Sadly, Ben Cartwright’s race was already over after mild contact with Marrs resulted in instant tyre deflation when a tyre valve pulled out The battle at the front was fascinating to watch. Tomlin was using his 308’s strong points – lighter weight and excellent straight line speed – to his best advantage and Jim C simply couldn’t find a chink in his armour to make a pass. For lap after lap the cars flew past, rarely more than a few feet apart and at least once in apparent attachment to each other. Jenkins displaced Marrs in 3rd spot on lap 4 while Butler seemed to have the legs of Walker in Gp3. Further back there was a right old scrap going on between the Gp1 brigade. Whittaker, his GT4 still puffing out oil smoke, was being hounded by Jack Dwane in his slightly odd-looking Mondial QV with its crude (and hopefully temporary) wheel-arch extensions. Hathaway and

Ben Cartwright’s 328GTB was right back on form again and rewarded him with a class win and 3rd overall in R2.

Moorwood had dropped back from this duel. On lap 6, Squire’s race came to a sudden halt. Richard, who had just squeezed past Simpson and was shaping up to tackle Allen, lost adhesion as he exited Druids. ‘Rosie’, the family’s famous 328, got out of shape and hit the barriers very hard indeed. Happily Richard was unharmed (thankfully these Ferraris are built like Centurion tanks) but the car was a mess. Immediately the yellow flags came out, followed by the safety car, while Rosie was recovered. The circuit was cleared and battled recommenced on lap 13, when Jim C was caught slightly napping and Tomlin blasted off to a 2 second advantage. However, Jim quickly recovered his composure and the pair traded fastest laps to the end of the race, with less than half a second separating them at the flag. Lapping almost as quickly towards the end, Jenkins brought his Gp4 328 home in 3rd place overall. Butler kept his Gp3 Ferrari’s nose ahead of Walker’s Didier Benaroya (Mondial t cabriolet) had mixed similar car to gain fortunes, spinning out in Tuesday’s race.

class honours while Whittaker took Gp1 after Simpson’s GT4’s plug leads fell off. This was one of the closest and most exciting Classic races we have seen recently and the commentators were very complimentary. There were lap records broken galore. Jim Cartwright set a new target for Gp4 in 55.371, Tomlin a record 55.665 in Gp2 while Whittaker, not to be outdone, broke the previous Gp1 record, leaving it at 58.874. These are all astonishing times for essentially 20-year old (in one case 35!) production cars running on road-legal tyres. Back in the paddock, Maggie Jenkins moistened her lips to reward all the prize-winners, a job she does exceedingly well.

Q2 Tuesday dawned dry but cloudy. Rain threatened later on but the Classic drivers were probably pleased that this time they were performing early in the programme. The Classics emerged from the collection area promptly at 9 o’clock, just 17 cars in the absence of Squire’s 328GTB. Immediately Tomlin was in the groove, lapping even faster than the day before. However, in an effort to make absolutely sure of pole position once again, he left

Butler and Walker had resumed their previous day’s Gp3 dispute while a little further back Allen and Hart were engaged in close warfare, Martin hampered by locking brakes. Another fascinating struggle was that between Simpson and Dwane, both wringing the last ounce out of their respective Nigel Jenkins flew in from the USA and put in some terrific cars, the GT4 and Mondial QV performances on both days in his immaculate Gp4 328GTB. respectively. his braking for the notorious When they were released, pole Lap 14 saw the retirement of Druids 30 yards later.

A

COMPACT ENTRY of 13 Ferraris was listed for the Jubilee weekend (Monday and Tuesday) double-header event writes JOHN SWIFT. The venue for this Aston Martin Owners Club St John Horsfall race meeting was the short Indy circuit at Brands Hatch. The Pirelli Ferrari Open cars had been allocated some of the pit garages in the inner paddock. Most of the garages had been taken for the two days by the 11 cars in the AMR GT4 Challenge Astons which, although they were racing only on the Tuesday, apparently required billets for both days in order to set up for their 2-hour race.

putting his F355 ahead of the 458 of Mick Dwane. David Hathaway (on wets) had the quickest time of the three 360 Challenge Ferraris, the Shirley car suffering from electronic gremlins. Brooks (456GT) was on wet settings and his times suffered accordingly while Bailey (430 GT2) was another to become embedded in the Kent gravel. Darren Laverty failed to get out due to a seized wheel nut but was allowed to race since he had earlier qualified for the Intermarque race. Nick Kaye was also unable to join in because

slick tyres weren’t ready in time. He was permitted to qualify out of session with the Classic Ferraris later in the morning. With several drivers diving off track in the tricky conditions there were lots of yellow flags being waved throughout the session. Two drivers who missed seeing them were Smeeth and Kearney. They were given a dressing down by the Clerk of the Course but Smeeth luckily retained his grid position. Not so fortunate was Kearney, who found himself banished to the back of the pack.

Qualifying 1 A mid-morning start on Monday saw qualifying on a damp track. Wayne Marrs (360GTC) held provisional pole until quite late in the session, when he slid off into the gravel trap at Paddock Hill. Gary Eastwood (458 Challenge) was quick to take his top place, in 51.166, although Sam Smeeth was only half a second in arrears in his Class 3 430/Ch. Vance Kearney excelled in the Class 1 division,

The marshals at Paddock Hill were kept busy. Sliding off into the gravel are Top: Nick Kaye Centre: Paul Bailey Bottom: Wayne Marrs.

The first of the weekend’s races – a 25 minute rolling start affair – got underway just before 4 o’clock under cloudy skies but a dry track. When the lights were doused, Eastwood powered his 458 towards Paddock Hill and took a lead he wasn’t to lose for the rest of the afternoon. Smeeth tucked into second spot with Marrs, Duyver and Dwane in close attendance. Hathaway was leading the under-performing 360 of Gavin Shirley and Brooks was holding the fort in Class 1 in the big 456GT. Bailey, from his midgrid position, was biding his time before getting his quick 430 GT2 into fast freeze mode. Kaye (360/Ch), from the back of the grid, was anxious to get up the order but spun off into retirement on the opening lap. The positions remained unchanged for the first few laps although Marrs lost his third place to Duyver on lap 5. All the time, Eastwood was controlling the race although unable to shake off the shadow of Smeeth’s 430 Challenge. A difficulty with changing gear was adding to Shirley’s woes as he brought up the rear of the field. Duyver missed a yellow flag on lap 12 and failed to pick up the subsequent black flag for two further circuits. He finally brought his car into the pits for a stop-go penalty which rather spoilt his chances – a pity as he had been going strongly up to that point. With two thirds of the race completed, Eastwood had a 5 second advantage over Smeeth and the pair were lapping at about the same pace. Quicker, however, was Bailey who, on lap 19, recorded the fastest time of the race and, with Duyver’s enforced pit stop, gained a secure 3rd place. The chequered flag came out at almost the exact expiration of the allotted 25 minutes, signalling Gary Eastwood’s victory. Sam Smeeth took second and a class win while

Brooks and Hathaway retained their Class leads despite the latter coming into contact with Ingram-Hill at Druids late on in the race. The results sheet indicated that Jacques Duyver had been disqualified for his yellow flag transgression but later the Clerk of the Course reviewed his decision and Jacques was happily, if rather unusually, reinstated.

Qualifying 2 Tuesday’s 10 o’clock qualifying session had an increased duration of 5 minutes in a rather less busy programme of races. The track was dry although menacing black clouds overhead suggested the weather forecasters’ promises of ‘rain later’ might be fulfilled. Sam Smeeth’s lappery was confined to just three after encountering a front wheel bearing problem (but fixable for the afternoon). Moulden’s F355, now on slicks, seemed to be handling better. Also smiling was John Shirley, whose overnight Trojan efforts on the family 360’s wiring and switchgear seemed to have been successful. It now changed gear properly and the engine’s power was on tap when requested. This was all too late for son Gavin, who had elected to take the Monday race, but good news for father, who after all pays the bills. It was again Gary Eastwood who held provisional pole for most of the session but then, at the very end, Paul Bailey popped in a super quick lap in 48.031 to snatch the position away. Nick Kaye’s was the quickest of the four closely matched 360 Challenge cars while Paul Brooks’s 456GT proved faster than the two F355s in Class 1.

Race 2 The PFO race was timed for 4.40pm by which time the weather had taken a decided turn for the worse. Anne’s sodden and smeary lap chart is a

reminder of just how wet things were. It was an easy tyre choice and if there had been any monsoon Pirelli wets available everyone would have asked for them. From the start, Eastwood surged into the lead followed by pole man Bailey and, considering the deluge conditions, the appropriately named Duyver. After the first lap Smeeth was already up to 4th, ahead of Dwane and Marrs. For the next few laps, although Eastwood’s lead looked fairly comfortable it was Smeeth who was the fastest man on the track, picking off those ahead with impressive precision and slotting into 2nd spot by lap 4. It looked like we had a race on our hands! Of the others, Moulden was driving an inspired race ahead of Kearney but behind the plume of spray that was Kay’s C2-leading 360. Already Marrs had spun and was trailing the field in last place. On lap 9 Smeeth took advantage of an Eastwood wobble on the saturated tarmac and took over the lead. The big question was could he keep his 430 out of trouble on the increasingly slippery track. The answer seemed to be ‘yes, he just might’ as, lap after lap, he maintained a car’s length

advantage over his more experienced opponent. The pair were now some 20 seconds in front of third man Duyver, who in turn had Dwane in his mirrors after Bailey had lost time. Moulden and Kearney passed team mate Kaye, all three cars looking impressive as they splashed round in their Fosker

Engineering livery. Then, on lap 22, Eastwood found a way round Smeeth – not easy on this track in these conditions – and suddenly had a 3 second cushion. But two laps

later things suddenly changed. Entering Surtees bend, Gary hit a pool of standing water and aquaplaned off onto the grass. After a tricky time when it wasn’t too clear whether he had sufficient traction to regain track, Eastwood eventually managed it and continued, albeit now over half a minute behind Smeeth. Time was running out, the rain was coming down even harder, and it was now simply a question of survival. Duyver was driving a mature race and had inherited a fairly safe 2nd place, some 10 seconds ahead of Dwane. Finally, after 26 laps, the chequered flag brought the water sports marathon to a close. It was an emotional moment as Sam Smeeth had achieved a significant victory for not only himself but the tireless Graypaul team. Gary Eastwood never stopped trying and put in the fastest closing lap of anyone to claim 4th overall, behind Duyver and Dwane. Lee Moulden took deserved top honours in Class 1 while Nick Kaye was again the pick of the Class 2 crop. Jacques Duyver’s lady, Nicole, presented the trophies and all thirteen drivers must have breathed a sigh of relief that their Ferraris were going home without a scratch.
