At the end of the day you got just stand up and it was an interesting journey home for those with high vehicles. See can read Ashley’s write up in this issue, who had a late entry and nearly matched his number of 10, finishing 11th and 1st in class. The Annual Awards Dinner on the 29th February was a tame affair due to the lack of award winners etc. Having heard that other club’s have cancelled their Dinners is it time to find another way to present awards or not have any? Coronavirus could have a major effect on motorsport and life in general. For now we will continue planning our events as normal until the Government or Motorsport UK tell us different. Last Sunday, 8th March, John Davie, Richard Warne and I attended a Motorsport UK Seminar aimed at Club Officials and event organisers to update us on changes and to take us through the planning of an event and what to do if something goes wrong, eg serious injury etc in terms of processes and paperwork. Unfortunately this has happened to us some years ago, but it is good to prepare yourself and hopefully it won’t happen again. The AGM is due to take place on Wednesday 22nd April at the Old Owens, agenda is elsewhere in this issue. Please come along to support your club committee. For some time there’s been talk of a closed road Stage Rally and hopefully it will happen, called the Herts Stages, run by Middlesex County AC and Herts County Aero & Auto Club on the 12th July. GBMC has been helping where is can. One of the Stage commander is Graeme Frary for the Little Hormead to Braughing stage, so we need all club helpers to sign up for that stage, more details will be available on the website, facebook etc when it is available. David Hughes it looking to run a couple social events and needs to know whether you are interested, so please get in touch with him.

This is the private car collection of Roger Dudding (owner of Dudrich Holdings which is a name probably familiar to residents of south Hertfordshire and north London). His collection runs to something like 450 vehicles, including some vintage motorcycles, although not all are on show at any one time. This business also operates indoor storage for vehicles owned by private clients although many of these are kept under dust covers and are not available to view. The second outing I am thinking of arranging is a trip to Farr Brewery, Coleman Green Lane, Wheathampstead - probably on one of their open days in the summer - 25th July (Hopefully it will include live music, beer festival and barbecue). But if we are too late to book for this trip we might postpone until 19th September when they say they will have the same activities. I invite interested to parties to email me on [email protected] or contact me by any of the other usual means so that I can gauge interest. It goes without saying that if these suggestions meet with the usual level of disinterest in club outings I will not proceed with organising them - at least not on behalf of GBMC. David Hughes Green Belt Motor Club Grand Prix Karting @ Harlow The Motor club is planning to host a Karting session one evenin g at Harlow Karting indoor circu it, if you are interested please get in touch Richard 07958 632082 or email [email protected] to book a place, See below for details Go Kart racing format is fast paced, challenging and the ultimate experience for individual racing in a group.

  • Message from Our Sponsor Castrol Ltd
    Message from our Sponsor Castrol Ltd . It gives Castrol great pleasure to continue sponsorship of Wolverhampton and South Staffs Car Club's National Rally in 1980. Castrol's close association with the Club began over ten years ago and we are delighted that their principal event has risen in stature over this period to become what is generally regarded as Britain's Premier National Rally. We congratulate the organising team on achieving such a high standard, making the Rally one of the most popular in the calendar. Recently the event has become well known for attracting overseas stars and this year is again no exception as the top ten contains many of the world's leading drivers. We extend an especially warm welcome to these overseas visitors who will be familiarising themselves with classic Welsh forest conditions prior to the Lombard RAC Rally. It is also the final round of the Castrol/ 'Autosport' National Championship so a close fight for all important final points will be a major feature of an exciting day's sport. We wish all competitors, officials and spectators alike a very successful and enjoyable Castrol National Rally and thank them for their continued support. Vic Sallows, Sales Manager Castrol Limited. ARI VATANEN During the 1980 season Ari has been Rothmans Rally Team's main driver and will have competed in five World Rally Championship rounds and in five rallies with the British Open Championship by the end of the season. Born in Joensuu in 1952, the same town as Mikkola, it was Mikkola who brought the world's attention to Vatanen's incredible speed over the rally tests.

    Wigton Motor Club Start Line January Supplement ___________________________ Annual Awards Dinner Skiddaw Hotel, Keswick Saturday, February 2nd 2013 with Special guest speaker Malcolm Wilson Tickets £28 from David Agnew - 01946 841455 _________________________ We are delighted to announce that Malcolm will be our guest speaker at the dinner. Malcolm rarely does these sort of events and he is also very busy with the new sponsors he has in the Gulf but he has managed to slot our event in. Don’t miss it! My Story in Motorsport A potted history of Cumbrian motorsport as it was in the beginning for some of us at least! Every now and then a person has a big effect on the future of not only those who are closely connected to that person but for various reasons it affects lots of other people and their respective paths in life. This is such a story. In the 1950s a person started a vehicle dismantlers business at Winscales near Workington on his dads farm and very soon this moved to a piece of land just outside Branthwaite where eventually he built a bungalow and lived with his wife and their very small son, the business also sold tyres and oils and such like products to the farming community and the general public. The person was called William Kenneth Wilson, his wife’s name was Pearl and the small son’s name was Malcolm. WK , Kenny or Ken as most people called him worked very hard and helped tremendously by his wife the business grew and grew and soon it became the place to go in West Cumbria to buy discount tyres and second hand parts for cars.
