Congratulations to them for a very consistent performance throughout the year and a well deserved award for the hard working car. Editorial Welcome to the second Bulletin of 2016. The Triple-M scene is already up and running and a number of events will be history by the time you read this. I should probably explain why the last Bulletin was late in arriving and why this edition may also be late. The February/March edition was the first produced using new software, a move that was forced on us and meant that Bob could no longer do his editorial magic. It has been a steep learning curve and all the hard work has been done by Lyn Handy who has the misfortune to work with me and made the mistake of showing an interest in the process of producing the Bulletin. She is also an MG owner, albeit a ‘modern’ MGF Trophy. To make up for the lack of UK events through the winter we have another taste of MG life in Australia. This time we have an excellent report from our President on his visit to the Bathurst event last year.

  • John Mulholland Motors Ulster Rally How Can This Be The
    The Loudon-clear guide to… John Mulholland Motors Ulster Rally How can this be the penultimate round of the British Rally Championship already? After a year away, the successful return of British rallying’s top flight has been the talk of 2016. The final two chapters both involve the Irish Sea. The last round runs on one of world motorsport’s most famous islands, the Isle of Man, but this week we’re overflying Douglas for a second trip of the season to Northern Ireland and the Ulster Rally. This rally offers a similar challenge to that of round two, the Circuit of Ireland, with the winner needing to find that perfect blend of speed and precision in what are likely to be some of the most changeable conditions and grip levels of the season. All eyes will, of course, be on Elfyn Evans as he chases a second British title for the Evans’ household, following father Gwyndaf’s 1996 success. But it’s also well worth keeping an eye on what’s certain to be another enthralling installment of the Junior BRC battle as homegrown heroes Rob Duggan and Gus Greensmith attempt to stave off the Nordic challenge of Sindre Furuseth and Mattias Adielsson. The rally ahead… MSA British Rally Championship round 6/7 Date: August 19/20 Based: Ebrington, Derry/Londonderry Service: Ebrington, Derry/Londonderry Stages: 14 Competitive distance: 133.86 miles (215.41km) Liaison distance: 287.69 miles (462.97km) Total distance: 421.55 miles (678.38km) Longest stage: Rousky (SS10/14) 15.88 miles (25.55km) Shortest stage: Butterlope (SS3/6) 4.36 miles (7.01km) Sunrise: 0612

  • The Loudon-Clear Guide To… RSAC Scottish Rally
    The Loudon-clear guide to… RSAC Scottish Rally Officially, Saturday is the RSAC Scottish Rally. But to you, me, and the wider world of British rallying, it’s The Scottish. It’s this country’s biggest rally and one no summer would be complete without. The Scottish has been running since 1961 and the list of winners is a real who’s who of world rallying. All three of the rallying McRaes: Jimmy, Colin and Alister won it, as did M-Sport World Rally Team boss Malcolm Wilson. And the Finns have had fair success north of Hadrian’s Wall too; Ari Vatanen, Hannu Mikkola, Pentti Airikkala, Simo Lampinen, Mikael Sundstrom and Tapio Laukkanen all took at least one win. Tommi Makinen might have four world titles, but he’s only for an F2 win on the Scottish… The event has evolved down the years and it’s no longer the race up and down the land it once was, but a Dumfries base still offers access to some of the world’s most wonderful woods. Stages like Twiglees and Castle O’er are part of British rallying legend and it’s fantastic to see the best of the British Rally Championship lining up there on Saturday morning. As you’d expect, there’s a bit of a family connection with the Scottish: my father (Fergus Loudon) scored his best result on this rally when he co-drove John Gray to 11th overall in a Group A Ford Sierra Cosworth in 1990. They finished just one place behind a certain Jimmy McRae, taking the award for top privateer crew.

NORTHERN IRELAND REGION MAGAZINE Issue No. 5 MAY. 2020 Cover Story. Sad , sad news with the passing of Sir Stirling Moss ‘the greatest driver never to win the World Championship’. I met him twice , Phoenix Park 1980 where he won his class in the Sports Car race in a 1500cc Elva and at the 2002 British Grand Prix where he signed my Silverstone club baseball hat before roaring off on , of all things , a Lambretta scooter. Cover picture is Moss and Denis Jenkinson after winning and setting a new record on the 1955 Mille Miglia Race. In spite of a number of stops for fuel and tyres Moss covered 1000 miles in just over 10 hours , a remarkable feat. Where it all started 20 year old Stirling racing his Cooper Norton In hill climb events. Less than a year later he would win the 1950 Tourist Trophy race at Dundrod in a borrowed XK120 beating the Jaguar works cars. He would go on to win Dundrod in 1952 driving a C type Jaguar and again in 1955 in the Mercedes 300SLR. Always up for a challenge he joined Sunbeam for the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally and finished 2nd. As the result of an off which cost them 9 minutes. But for this he may well have won the Monte at his first attempt. Moss won a total of 16 Formula 1 Championship races and won 212 races from 375 starts, even more impressive was the fact that when you discount retirements Moss finished almost every race in the top 6 places.

NORTHERN IRELAND REGION MAGAZINE Issue No. 3 March. 2020 Cover Story. Let battle commence ! Only two weeks to the start of the 2020 F1 season starts and it does promise to be an interesting season with Vettal under pressure from LeClerc , Red Bull claiming a big step forward with it’s 2020 car and Mercedes still beset with rumours that the team may pull out at the end of the year. The proof is in the pudding , as they say , so if Mercedes still invest big bucks in developing the car then the rumours are nonsense but if funding becomes an issue both Red Bull and Ferrari will be there to take advantage . It will be interesting to see who fans of the Fantasy G.P. put their money on this year. Thank you Father Christmas ! This year may daughter treated me to metal model kits from a small company I had never heard of , South Eastern Finecrafts. This company produces die cast kits of racing cars in 24th.
