Page: 2 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Oulton Park International, 30th August 2014 Introduction Two months since the BRSCC’s Avon Tyres-sponsored Formula Ford 1600 category last visited Oulton Park, the Cheshire circuit hosted a double header meeting for the National Championship with one of these rounds also having Northern points on offer. Such is the popularity of the latter series that the entry was large enough for the Post89 and Pre90 Classes to each have their own qualifying sessions and races. Therefore, during the course of the day, Formula Fordsters took to the track on no less than 5 occasions. As those involved left the circuit at the end of the afternoon, they had plenty of drama to reflect on, not least because fluctuating weather conditions meant the tarmac had varying levels of grip each time the cars left the Assembly Area. Page: 3 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Oulton Park International, 30th August 2014 Post89 Qualifying RAVEN RULES James Raven had the most pace during qualifying As they were fielding a couple of cars in the Formula Renault Championship races at Snetterton the Cliff Dempsey Racing team had to divide their resources between East Anglia and Cheshire. Having only part of the Corby-based squad available to him did not slow down James Raven who qualified on pole for the Post89 Only event by 1 and a quarter tenths. He was the one driver to dip below 1 minute 48s during the course of the session. Stuart Gough had been on pole with a few minutes to go until Raven put in his banzai lap. Gough was disappointed to miss out and felt that possibly newer tyres could have made a difference. However his second fastest time was good enough for pole in the later encounter for All Classes in which the first two reversed their grid positions. Lining up third for both starts was David McArthur. He was generally happy with how qualifying had gone although he became a little bogged down in traffic towards the end. Having his first race at Oulton since finishing runner-up in the 2011 Moose Trophy was Pedro Matos. He was Gough’s team mate at Oldfield Motorsport and put in a solid performance to set fourth fastest time. One of the last places anyone would want to suffer a puncture is Island Bend but that is exactly what happened to Tom McArthur and he was pitched into the tyre wall on the inside of this fast section of track. Before this mishap he had set a time which was good enough for fifth on the Post89 Only grid while his second fastest effort moved him Page: 4 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Oulton Park International, 30th August 2014 One of the last places anyone would want to suffer a puncture is Island Bend up to fourth for the start of the All Classes race – putting him alongside his brother David at the expense of Matos. The remainder of the top 10 had a similar look on both grids. The next two drivers – Doug Crosbie and Luke Williams – were the last to beat the 1 minute 50 secs barrier. They headed Martin Short who was getting back up to speed having not raced since the first meeting of the season. Behind Tom Hodgson, Nigel Dolan rounded out the top 10 – he felt things had gone OK but was disappointed not to have set a faster time. The Clerk of the Course must have had plenty of photographs of Formula Ford racing cars to look at during the course of this session as 10 drivers triggered the MSV Track Limits cameras a total of 15 times. Martin Short made a welcome return Page: 5 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Oulton Park International, 30th August 2014 Results Stephen Roberts (33) prepares for action Page: 6 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Oulton Park International, 30th August 2014 Pre90 Qualifying SLICK HODGEN TAKES POLE Chris Hodgen flew after the Myerscough College Team fixed his oil pipe The engine problems that prevented Chris Hodgen from completing a racing lap in his last outing at Silverstone were traced to a problem with the distributor by Neil Bold but Absolute Media’s Managing Director had more mechanical issues to contend with during Friday’s test day when an oil pipe split after just 8 laps. Quick work by the team from Myerscough College meant the Van Diemen RF89 was ready to take part in the day’s final session in which Chris had enough speed to leave him confident for the weekend ahead. This optimism was well founded as he took pole in a qualifying session that saw trickily damp track conditions with a dry line only just beginning to emerge as the clock clicked down to the chequered flag. Indeed the shortage of grip caught out the second fastest man on the grid, Josh Fisher, causing him to have a heavy impact with the Druids tyre- wall. The Wayne Poole Raclng driver had the consolation of taking the Pre90 pole in the All Classes event as Hodgen decided not to enter that particular contest. Making up the second row of the Pre90 Only grid were Stuart Jones and Jamie Jardine. The former was delighted to be back behind the wheel after the long summer break since the last Northern round at Donington left him suffering withdrawal symptoms. Other commitments meant Stuart couldn’t take part in Friday’s test day and so it wasn’t until Saturday morning that he was re-united with the UCLAN Racing squad. Before Fisher went off there, Jones had experienced a scary moment through Druids which caused him to respect the corner for the remainder of the 20 minutes. He Page: 7 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Oulton Park International, 30th August 2014 chipped away at his times and was very pleased to be third fastest at the end. The first quartet were in a class of their own as they were covered by 7 tenths. Best of the rest was Mario Sarchet. A tenth and abit behind him it was a pleasure to see Jaap Blijleven who was having his first race since breaking his collar bone in testing for the first race meeting of the season back in April. “It was real good to be back with my team and fellow competitors,” reported the Dutchman, “The great spirit and atmosphere again confirmed why I am competing in the Northern Championship. Excellent!!” He was also reminded of the high standards of driving that exist in BRSCC FF1600 as – quite understandably after missing most of the season – he was disappointed not to be able to record better than a sixth place grid position. Nonetheless, this was a very respectable result considering he was still getting up to speed and had to build up the confidence even to perform overtaking manoeuvres during testing on Friday. David Murphy retired after just 5 laps due to a failed exhaust. The damage was irrepairable but to his surprise, Murphy’s team mate Sarchet had a complete system for a Van Diemen RF85 in the back of his van despite currently running a Reynard! Team Manager, David Bailey, was pleased with the solid performance that his charge, Will Alterman, put in when he set the eighth fastest time despite not having competed since May. He was another to be suffering with a holed exhaust but this was small enough for Murphy to weld shut before racing began. Ian Parkington in his Royale RP26 was the fastest Class E man while Stephen Bracegirdle rounded out the top ten. “The great spirit and atmosphere confirmed why I race in BRSCC FF1600” - Blijleven Jaap Blijleven raced for the first time in 2014 Page: 8 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Oulton Park International, 30th August 2014 Results Diverse Formula Ford chassis in the Cheshire countryside Page: 9 www.brsccff1600.co.uk BRSCC Formula Ford 1600: Race Report - Oulton Park International, 30th August 2014 National & Northern Post89Championships Race GOUGH GRABS IT Stuart Gough’s black Van Diemen grabs the lead back from James Raven When the red lights went out poleman James Raven was distracted looking at his dashboard and this enabled Stuart Gough to take the lead. The two front row men were in separable and also far faster than anyone else. They were 5 seconds ahead of the pack in as many laps as pressure from the super-fast Raven brought the very best out of Gough. As the race drew to a close, Raven made his move on the penultimate lap and got ahead at Old Hall.

  • Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin Evaluating 17- and 18-Inch Tyres
    Clermont-Ferrand (France), October 31, 2014 Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin evaluating 17- and 18-inch tyres Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin share the same vision that motorsport permits innovative technologies to be fostered in a competitive environment with a view to achieving closer ties with the technologies that are available to the motoring public. Accordingly, the two partners are currently exploring the feasibility of switching to 18- and 17-inch tyres for the Formula Renault 3.5 Formula Renault 2.0 championships respectively from 2016. An initial test session based on Formula Renault 3.5 cars was carried out at Valencia, Spain, followed by a second featuring Formula Renault 2.0 cars at Barcelona, again in Spain. Given the positive results achieved at these tests, Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin are pleased to announce their intention to pursue this joint-development programme, and further sessions are planned over the months ahead. Since January, the collaboration between Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin has enabled the two companies to collect a significant amount of data after completing several hundred kilometres in testing. The two entities are carefully studying the results of this groundwork in order to obtain a thorough understanding of the repercussions any changes in tyre dimensions might have for the drivers, as well as in terms of grip and suspension performance. As far as factors such as top speed, road holding, tyre wear and the wear of other components are concerned, the early conclusions are positive. Despite requiring a certain number of small modifications, the cars feature a more modern look and benefit from enhanced cornering performance.

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".
