    The Brooklands Double Twelve Motorsport Festival Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 June 2018 COMBINED RESULTS The Brooklands Double Twelve Motorsport Festival 2018 Brooklands Museum, Brooklands Road, Weybridge Surrey KT13 0QN Event promoted by Brooklands Museum Trust Limited (registered charity 296661) In association with the VSCC, Official Competition Organisers. THE BROOKLANDS DOUBLE TWELVE MOTORSPORT FESTIVAL 2018 COMBINED RESULTS Calculating 12/12 Aggregate Scores To be eligible for the competition, a car/driver combination must enter and score a result in two disciplines of the three available. Each of the three available competitions will receive awards as appropriate and as explained in the regulations for each event. Other than Class divisions in each competition, no weighting will be applied to take account of performance variations - this is because: a. Sprint times will be comparatively close (i.e. no competitor is likely to score less than 50% - a score that would represent a time exactly twice that of the fastest in class. b. Concours scores are 80% objective against a fixed marking guide with just 20% available as a subjective score subjective so, again, it is unlikely that any competitor will score less than 50% in total. c. Driving Test scores historically at this event have rarely been below 50% of the Best in Class. More than half score 75% or more. Therefore, in each competition, we can expect the scores for each competitor in each class in each discipline to be between 100% and 75%. Scores from each discipline are carried forward to a separate 12/12 scoreboard as a percentage score within their competition class whereby the best performance in each class in each event will score 100% and all other scores will be diminished on a simple percentage basis.

  • How British Leyland Grew Itself to Death by Geoff Wheatley British Car Network
    How British Leyland Grew Itself To Death By Geoff Wheatley British Car Network I have always wondered how a British motor company that made trucks and other commercial vehicles, ever got its hands on Jaguar, Triumph, and of course MG. Furthermore, how this successful commercial company managed to lose the goodwill and loyal customers of these popular vehicles. The story starts some fifteen years before British Leyland became part of the domestic vehicle market in the UK, and of course overseas, especially for Jaguar, a top international brand name in the post war years. In the early 1950s the idea of Group Industries was the flavor of the month. Any company worth its salt was ready to join forces with a willing competitor, or several competitors to form a “Commercial Group”. In consequence we had the Textile Groups, International Banking Groups, The British Nylon Group, Shell and BP Group etc. The theory was simple, by forming production groups producing similar products and exchanging both marketing and production techniques, costs would be reduced and sales would increase. The British Government, who had an investment in the British Motor Industry to help the growth of exports to earn needed US Dollars, was very much in favor of the Group Policy being applied to the major production companies in the UK including the Nuffield Organization and Austin Corporation. Smaller companies like Jaguar who were also successful exporters were encouraged to take the same view on production and sales, however they did not jump on the “Group” bandwagon and remained independent for a few more years.

  • NUFFIELD the Man
    NUFFIELD The Man and NUFFIELD CREST Keeping the Record Straight By Caroline Nixon Introduction The ethos of any “not for profit” organisation owes a lot to the character of its founder, in our case, William Morris, who was later to become Lord Nuffield. Nuffield Australia is very grateful to Caroline Nixon, who has taken the trouble to research the life and work of Lord Nuffield and to summarise it so that Nuffield Scholars may better understand the ethos of our organisation. Nuffield the Man was written over a period of time and the early chapters have been printed in recent Scholars Directories. This booklet is the first publication of the completed text. Caroline has also written the story of our Nuffield crest, a now well-recognised symbol, and this is to be found at the rear of this booklet. Nuffield would not be the great organisation that it is without people being passionate enough about it to look for ways in which they can contribute.

    The Tradsheet Founded 1967 Are we all ready for another season then? Newsletter of the Traditional Car Club of Doncaster February/March 2019 1 Editorial The clocks go back the weekend I am writing this, the sun has put in an appearance or two already and we have started the season with a breakfast meeting at Ashworth Barracks with a good turnout. Club nights have been very enjoyable all winter with a good num- ber coming along to enjoy each other’s company, some to stay on for the quiz but lighter evenings are on their way and the number of classics in the car park are increasing nicely already. Rodger Tre- hearn has again provided a list of events further on, he has entry forms at all club nights and the information is also on the club web- site, see Chair’s chat for more on that. Planning for the show at the College for the Deaf is well under way and we have fliers for you to give out to get another brilliant attendance. This raises a lot of money for charity and also helps our club fi- nances but, primarily, it is a great day out and is where we do the main club trophy judging. For those who won trophies last year, could you get them back to the club by the end of May please for engraving and getting ready for the show. If anyone needs them collecting, please let me know and I can organise that. We have another club event at Cusworth Hall on 12th May with a car limit of 40 and you must be there by 12 noon and not leave before 4pm to ensure public safety.
