The season can be said to be in full- swing with all 3 of our multi-venue series now under way. What a season it is turning out to be with the Post89 category in particular booming on the National scene. Following on from Friday evening’s exclusive FF1600 test session, which was organised in conjunction with Bookatrack.com, 27 Class A and B cars took to the track to qualify for race 1 on Saturday morning. The number of Pre90 runners looking to take the 2 points for fastest flying lap was also healthily into double figures. Page: 3 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Donington Park Grand Prix Circuit, 9/10th May Pre90 Qualifying NUMBERS GAME Running as “lucky” 28 Jamie Jardine took pole This was the weekend Dave Hart advised that he had got the Reynard 84FF that he built-up for Jamie Jardine over the Winter working the way he wanted. There was also a tactical switch away from running as “unlucky” Car Number 1 back to the 28 from Jamie’s multi-title-winning 2014. Jardine certainly had good karma when he topped the time-sheets at the end of 20 minutes of qualifying. He must have been trying hard as he was the only driver to have a lap time disallowed for exceeding track limits. UCLAN Racing drivers were the next 2 fastest with Jaap Blijleven less than 2 tenths away from Jardine’s best – and felt he would have had a chance at pole but for traffic at the Fogarty Esses – while Andrew Thomas was a further half a second further back. Jaap had learned a great deal during Friday’s wet test evening and hopes to reap the benefit in the next race that is held in difficult conditions The UCLAN duo were the only ones to get within a second of Jardine. Mario Sarchet, who was making his seasonal debut, was the best of the rest just ahead of Chris Stones – another racing in BRSCC Formula Ford 1600 for the first time this year. Stones’ best lap was just over a tenth away from Sarchet’s while Michael Beaver and Colin Williams were also within a second of the Preston jeweller. Beaver was in the red Mondiale M89S that he used in the Northern rounds at Oulton Park as he was still waiting for the parts he requires to tweak his white Mondiale M88S to arrive. He may have been higher up the grid but his set up, particularly at the rear, was too stiff. Williams, meanwhile, put in an impressive performance to qualify well into the Top Ten in his Class E PRS and much more was to come from him. Behind Ben Tinkler, ninth and tenth in the shape of Matthew Cowley and John Wilkinson were separated by 0.012 secs. Some great battles throughout the field were expected in the weekend’s races. o Page: 4 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Donington Park Grand Prix Circuit, 9/10th May Results Page: 5 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Donington Park Grand Prix Circuit, 9/10th May Post89 Qualifying STEPHEN STARS Stephen Daly made a big impression during qualifying The McArthur brothers, David and Tom, were delayed in Friday tea-time traffic jams and so they missed the start of the evening’s testing which was conducted in very wet conditions. Things got worse for Davd as when he finally got out on track he had a big crash at the top of the Craners Curves on only his third lap. The impact wiped two corners off his car and left him with a bruised hip. A front runner from the opening weekend of the season at Silverstone, Jake Byrne, stayed at home in Ireland as he was studying for exams but plans to return for the Oulton Park meeting. In his absence, we had a newcomer from the Emerald Isle in the shape of Stephen Daly and he made a big impression by setting the second fastest time in qualifying. He was 3 tenths away from Patrick Dussault, the Canadian shone on a one-off outing at Donington last season when he was focussing on Formula Renault. He clearly likes the track as he almost dipped 1 minute 42s with his best lap mid-way through the session. Four cars qualified within half a second of Daly. Chris Middlehurst and Luke Williams would occupy the second row of the grid for race 1 with Oliver White and Jonny McMullan starting behind them. White was having his first run in the Medina Sport tended Van Diemen JL015K while McMullan was finding life tough having never raced at Donington Park before. Friday’s wet test evening meant he was on a steep learning curve during the dry qualifying session. After B-M Racing had restored his car to full working order, David McArthur would start from seventh with his brother Tom alongside him. The Swift Cooper team mates, Luke Cooper and Thomas Capezzone, completed the Top Ten. The former was thwarted by a misfire which later caused the engine to cut out.

Starting from pole, Jamie Jardine had problems changing gear on the run down to Redgate and he found himself down in sixth place at the first corner. The other man on the front row, Jaap Blijleven, made a blinder and took the lead with his UCLAN team mate, Andrew Thomas, right on his tail. The duo swapped places back and forth at the two hairpins which extended the Donington Park circuit to the length required to host the 1993 European Grand Prix but the Dutchman began lap 2 with his tenuous lead intact. Jardine quickly recovered his composure and was now up to third right on the tail of the UCLAN cars. Having demoted Thomas he passed Blijleven at the Melbourne Hairpin. The Dutchman swept wide looking for the cutback on the run up to Goddards but Thomas thought he saw a gap… and the UCLAN cars collided. This was the defining moment of the race. Jardine was able to make a break while there were winners and losers in the log-jam that developed as Thomas and Blijleven tried to untangle themselves. Eventually, Blijleven drove to the pits to retire with damage to his side-pod and steering system while Thomas continued with loose bodywork and a nose-cone pointing skywards. Into second place came Matthew Cowley but to his immense frustration he was to drop down the order with a spin later in the race although he recovered to be classified third after a titanic battle with Ben Tinkler on the final lap. Second was taken by Colin Williams after a brilliant dice with Chris Stones until he retired. This was a superb result Page: 9 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Donington Park Grand Prix Circuit, 9/10th May We had winners and losers in the log-jam for a Class E car. Still suffering from the oversteer he endured in qualifying, Michael Beaver felt like a sitting duck to anyone coming up behind him but excellent brakes enabled him to keep ahead of Mario Sarchet allowing fifth to be claimed. Sarchet was one of those most badly affected by the clash between Blijleven and Thomas. John Wilkinson was the seventh driver to take the flag ahead of David Franklin – the latter had a spin exiting Goddards at one point. It was a frustrating Friday evening for Iain Houston with cars blocking his access to the pit garage. This prevented him from getting out before the rain began.

The day before yesterday 166 Notes 175 Images 191 Introduction and acknowledgements POLITICS AND SPORT are by definition incompatible, and they're combustible when mixed. The 1930s proved that: the Winter Olympics in Germany in 1936, when the President of the International Olympic Committee threatened to cancel the Games unless the anti-semitic posters were all taken down now, whatever Adolf Hitler decrees; the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin and Hitler's look of utter disgust when Jesse Owens, a negro, won the 100 metres; the World Heavyweight title fight in 1938 between Joe Louis, a negro, and Germany's Max Schmeling which carried racial undertones and overtones. The fight lasted 2 minutes 4 seconds, and in that time Louis knocked Schmeling down four times. They say that some of Schmeling's teeth were found embedded in Louis's glove... Motor racing, a dangerous but genteel activity in the 1920s and early 1930s, was touched by this, too, and touched hard. The combustible mixture produced two Grand Prix races at Donington Park, in 1937 and 1938, which were just as dramatic, just as sinister and just as full of foreboding. This is the full story of those races.

    Technical Note Document Number CTN0003 Title Basic GPS Beacon Setup with MoTeC's Dash Loggers* Approved By JA Revision Date Prepared By Change History 1.0 23/09/2009 OFK 1.1 25/09/2009 AW corrections in GPS coordinates table 1.2 16/04/2013 YK Automatic GPS Beacon (automatic venue detection) 1.3 7/08/2019 TL Added note re: CTN0029, minor text corrections *See CTN0029 for GPS Beacon setup in MoTeC’s later model C1/L1 Display Loggers. Introduction This document describes the procedure to set up or change the GPS Lap Beacons in your MoTeC Dash Logger (e.g. SDL, ADL2). The MoTeC Dash Manager software can place a lap beacon at a definable location for automatic lap time generation. In addition to the start/finish beacon, the GPS can produce up to 4 split beacons, enabling the racer to split up the track for accurate sector times. You only need to set up your beacon points once per venue. The location will be saved within the venue file on your PC. When you go back to a track, all you need to do is load the venue file of the track you are racing at and send it to the Dash Logger. Below are instructions on how to do this. Scope GPS Lap Beacons work with all MoTeC monochrome Dash Loggers* (except first generation ADLs). The system requires a GPS receiver that transmits data via RS232 (NMEA messages RMC and GGA) at a minimum of 5 Hz. Vehicle Speed Trigger Vehicle speed must be above 20kmh to trigger a GPS beacon.

  • Racing Towards a Sustainable Future a Review of the Sustainability Performance of International Racing Circuits
    RACING TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE A REVIEW OF THE SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE OF INTERNATIONAL RACING CIRCUITS Edition June 2021 Racing towards a sustainable future FOREWORD I have been involved with the safety and sustainability of racing tracks for many years now, as a driver, GPDA Chairman and a circuit designer. And while I would argue that big improvements have been made in terms of safety, I also know that there is a long way to go in terms of fully embracing sustainability for racing tracks around the globe. Though circuits have started to change the way in which they approach sustainability, more guidance on what sustainability means and how a circuit can be sustainable are needed. This is why I welcome this new research and the data-driven proposal of the Sustainable Circuits Index™, highlighting indicators from the wider sustainability and sport ecosystem, encouraging best practice and calling attention to the importance of transparent reporting and independent validation. Motorsport has historically been defined by its commitment to innovation and excellence through competition. It’s now critically important for our sport to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability through collaboration. This paper highlights the new metrics for success in this global effort and provides circuits with the tools they need to help win the race for our planet, a race which we can only win together. Alexander Wurz Former F1 Driver, GPDA Chairman, and Consultant on Road Safety and Circuit Design Sustainability is one of the key issues of today’s society as confirmed by the increasing attention of governments, media, academics, and industry.
