April 2016 Page 13 West returns to Chateau Impney Hill Climb to claim his title after almost 50 years. A Droitwich man who triumphed in the final Chateau Impney sprint in 1967 as a teenager, but never had his win recorded properly, is on a mission to claim his rightful place in the Chateau Impney record books almost 50 years on. David West first competed at Chateau Impney in the last ever Hagley & District Light Car Club sprint event in 1967. He wasn’t meant to be competing but jumped in the car at the last second to replace Fred Jones, a driver for Team Autoquip, who was called away due to an emergency. With no time or thought to inform the organisers, David drove Jones’s 1275cc Morris Mini Cooper S up the old 550-yard course, going up against six other Mini drivers, as well as a more powerful Triumph 1300, and completing the course in an outstanding time of 28.49 seconds. Despite David’s win, it was Fred’s name that was added to the Chateau Impney records. And with no further events held for almost half a century, the wrong remained un-righted. Nearly 50 years later, David was able to put tyres to tarmac at Chateau Impney once again at the inaugural Hill Climb in 2015. Taking on the more challenging course in his own 1967 Austin Mini Cooper S – he was ready to make his mark and earn his rightful place in the venue’s record books. However, he was pipped at the post by Richard Parsons, who competed in a Morris Mini Cooper S, by just a quarter of a second. Although David came a credible second in his class, it wasn’t the result he craved and so he is returning to the 2016 event knowing exactly what he needs to do to get a chance at the top spot: “I’m not going to fluff it on the line, like I did last year!” Rod Spollon, event director of the Chateau Impney Hill Climb, is excited to welcome an original sprint trial competitor back to the Chateau: “Although we can’t rewrite the history books and give David his original title, we are absolutely delighted to give him the opportunity to win it back at the 2016 event. “David’s competition run at the inaugural Hill Climb last year was agonisingly close, and now that he’s had the chance to drive the course, we are excited to see if he can finally claim the class win that he craves at the event in July.” Unsurprisingly, David noticed quite a few changes between the event in 1967 and its revival in 2015 – and not just the length of the course. “Health and safety at today’s events is far superior to what it was in those days,” said David. “We used to be able to get into a car and just put a crash helmet on – you could literally just turn up on the day and drive. Now the records have to show the right names and permit numbers. What happened to me in 1967 couldn’t happen now.” The Chateau Impney Hill Climb takes place on 9 and 10 July in Droitwich, Worcestershire, and will see 200 pre-1967 cars race against the clock to claim victory on one of the UK’s most challenging hill climb courses. As well as the opportunity for both enthusiasts and families to enjoy a great day out full of motorsport action, the event will also include a comprehensive Concours d’Elegance, a vintage funfair, air displays, and a major classic car auction, hosted by specialist auctioneers, H&H Classics.Tickets can be purchased online at www.chateauimpneyhillclimb.com or by calling 0845 017 0637.

One hundred and ten competitors will set off from Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire on a 700 mile trip to Gleneagles in Scotland, competing in the Flying Scotsman Rally. The Endurance Rally Association (ERA) organised event will travel through Lincolnshire and the Yorkshire Wold, north to Scotland via Northumberland, to take in some of the finest Lochs and Glens before arriving at the Gleneagles Hotel. This is the eighth running of this event, and as usual it has attracted an international entry from all over the world. Regular competitors Bill Ainscough in his 1927 Frazer Nash Sports and David Thomson in his 1936 Talbot 105 Alpine have competed in all seven events so far, while defending champion William Medcalf, a two times winner of the event, will be trying to make it a hat trick of victories in a 1925 Bentley 3 litre.

With its lightweight construction, Pitlochry Athol Palace 12:00 to 13:45 strong four-cylinder flat engine and precise chassis, it won numerous Loch Freuchie 13:50 to 15:30 international races in the 1950s and 1960s. Today the four-cylinder power Gleneagles 15:00 to 16:45 unit is water-cooled and turbocharged. From its two litres of displacement, © Gerard Brown the new machine in the 718 Boxster delivers 220 kW (300 hp). The 718 Boxster S with a 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine takes this figure up to 257 kW (350 hp) thanks to its turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. Compared with previous Boxster models, this corresponds to an increase of 26 kW (35 hp) in each case. Redesigned from scratch, the engines also impress with their efficiency: depending on the model and equipment, the consumption figures are up to 13 per cent lower than the respective predecessor models. The completely retuned chassis, more powerful brakes and not least the emotive tone are designed to convert the especially compelling power development into even more driving fun. The new model line has also undergone comprehensive further development in its design. Only luggage compartment lid, windscreen and convertible hood have been left unchanged.

Then in the second race this afternoon Smith shadowed Tweedie early on and after easing back mid-race a fraction, closed the gap right up again only to have the chequered flag come out at the end of 5 laps rather than the 6 everyone was expecting. "I had a little handling issue getting onto the straight in that first race "Smith explained. "The car was oversteering on the exit and he (Tweedie) was able to catch and tow past me down the shute. Through Turns 2,3,4,5 and 6 I could close the gap right back up because the car was grouse through there. But he was better onto the straight." Between races Smith and his crew made some suspension changes which allowed the hard charging veteran, now in his 58th consecutive season of national motor racing in his native New Zealand, to push Tweedie even harder. But by that time the track was past its best and though the gap between the pair remained at around two-hundredths of a second, Kiwi legend Ken Smith Lola T332 Smith's quickest time of the day remained the 1:28.5929 he set in the 2015/16 MSC New Zealand F5000 Tasman Cup Revival © peter ellenbogen ( www.flickr.com/photos/peterellenbogen ) Series Round 5 (final) VHRR Classic Festival of Motorsport, Phillip Island Victoria Australia.

But the driver who pushed him all the way, 73-year-old Kiwi supervet Ken Smith reckons it's way too early to write off age and experience just yet. Tweedie, driving his family-owned ex Chris Craft/Tony Dean Chevron B24, qualified comfortably quickest on Friday but Smith (ex Danny Tom Tweedie (#2 Chevron B24) and Tim Berryman (#6 Lola T332) shared race wins in the MSC NZ F50000 Tasman Cup Revival Series races at the VHRR Phillip Island Classic meeting in Australia over April 2016 the weekend.

"He's just got the edge on me," admitted the Kiwi veteran, "but now that we've got the car dialled in I know I can really work it through there (the corner leading onto the main straight) so you just watch me tomorrow." As if the world's quickest septuagenarian was not enough to deal with, Smith's latest protégé, 21-year-old Tom Alexander from Christchurch, also made his presence felt in his debut races in the F5000 category today. Former kart champ, New Zealand Formula Ford class front- runner and 2014/15 Toyota NZ 86 class champion Alexander had only done 10 laps in UK-based MSC F5000 series regular Greg Thornton's Chevron B24 before the first race this morning.
