Battle of Britain Issue—August 2017 In this Issue…………. 20 Years of the Northern Saloon and Sports Car Championship & 50 Years of Formula Ford BATTLE OF BRITAIN New CollaboratioNs ◊ the Future ◊ a look baCk www.darlington-motor-club.org.uk Darlington & District Motor Club l August 50 Years of Rallycross 1967—2017 2 Newsletter l August Chat From the Chair……... APOLOGIES.. ….. I guess you have probably been thinking we had missed posting you a newsletter. Well here goes with the apology, the club has been having some problems getting the newsletter produced so we have put together a lighter version to bring you up to date. The printer has now been installed in its new home, so hopefully we will soon be back to every couple of months. Sorry that we have let you down, but I hope that you enjoy this offering. Thank you for your patience. A GOOD CAUSE…... Darlington & District Motor Club has always supported good causes and at the last NSSCC race at Croft we asked 2016 NSSCC champion Martin Whitehouse to present a cheque to these good causes. Martin was delighted to help out with this task, especially when he found out that he would be handing out two cheques for £700 each. The first cheque he presented was to George Morrison for the charity that is researching into the condition Glycogen storage Disease which he has to manage on a daily basis. Without corn flour several times a day, George could slip into a coma and die. His treatment is no longer available on prescription. We wish him well and look for- ward to seeing him at Croft in the future. Martin then moved on to present the second cheque to Prostate Cancer UK. This money will help towards research into the causes and hopefully will help to find a cure for this terrible illness. As many of you will know, David Cox has had a battle with this illness as have other mem- bers of the club. Thankfully David and the other guys have recovered and wish to do what they can to support this charity. A representative from Prostate Cancer UK was able to attend the meeting and collect the cheque from Martin. 3 Darlington & District Motor Club l August THANK YOU…… Thank you to everyone for your generosity, we will be holding raffles again this year to raise money for more good causes. If you would like to nominate a charity please get in touch, it will be considered by the committee. COMING UP…… We are all busy getting ready for the Battle of Britain meeting, entries for NSSCC are coming along nicely with many drivers signing up for the Battle of Britain Trophy races. So who is going to take custody of the BOB trophy for 2017 from Mike Cutt, the winner in 2016, we look forward to finding out. The BBQ on Saturday night will see DDMC going back to basics with Steve Gibson, Craig Hope, John Travis and Mick Starkey taking to the BBQ to supply the steaks or chicken to meet your orders. We are limited to the numbers we can serve so if you haven’t sent your order in get it posted asap. We have organised the marquee, and a disco, you need to bring your own drinks and a good sense of fun. We are looking forward to a good weekend racing and a great evening celebrating DDMC and it’s great members. Kindest regards Lesley 4 Newsletter l August NSSCC Championship Standings So as we approach Rounds 11 & 12 of the NSSCC championship we thought wed give you a little peek at how the 20 YEARS current standings are shaping up.

H 29 Andy Wilson 21 5 Darlington & District Motor Club l August NSSCC Round Up Terry Wright BUSY BUSY BUSY….. Its no wonder the roads are busy at Easter - and they certainly were on Good Friday on the M6. Fortunately most of the traffic was heading North whilst we were head- ing South to Oulton Park for the opening rounds of the NSSCC. With the biggest grid of the weekend and supporting the British GT and F3 package it was an interesting weekend particularly with competitors in other races throwing themselves at the scenery. Both our races went well with only an unfortunate Green Flag accident marring the day. But DDMC wasn’t just at Oulton Park. Back home at Croft Circuit Craig, Kerry and team were busy with the DDMC organised British Sprint round whilst others were at Lydden Hill (British Rallycross) , Silverstone (WEC) and Donnington Park (BTCC). In fact we had all the major events of the Easter weekend covered. Not bad for a ‘small amateur’ Club! CHECK THE WEBSITE….. Over the weekend I managed to get photos of all our NSSCC competitors that were entered and these are now on our website in the Picture Galleries (2017 NSSCC) and the rest will be added as they come out to play. Its worth checking the site reg- ularly as we endeavor to keep it up to date. For example, Marshals can find the availability form in their section whilst the dates and results appear in the Trials section. The NSSCC and British Sprint results appear in the relevant sections. If there is anything you cant find just Ask !! 6 Newsletter l August BACK ON TRACK….. Moving on to Croft and another excellent weekend (despite the attitude of the Cir- cuit Security) with a fine entry. There were a few concerns regarding the proposed new race end procedure but this was amicably resolved with the event organisers. The races had split grids i.e. A & E went off on the lights and B, C, D & H went 10 seconds later on the flag. Lots of close racing ensued as usual with one or two hitting problems. There was a short break until Mallory Park where the guys continued to wow the spectators with close racing and a couple of whoopsies to keep them entertained. From there we continued on to Rockingham on the hottest day of the year. 33 degrees in the paddock and considerably higher in the cockpit. Not my favorite spectating circuit and certainly not the most pleasant that day with the high temperatures. The Travelling Road Show next hit Knockhill and in both directions! Not as many travelled North unfortunately but changeable conditions livened up the races. And so we move back to Croft with our own meeting ‘The Battle of Britain’ complete with full blown hospitality marquee and an evening Bar- becue. Hope to see you all there. Terry 7 Darlington & District Motor Club l August RESCUE UNIT Steve Hill WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO ?..... It’s been an interesting year so far for both of the Rescue Units and we managed to pick up a few extra dates along the way, including the bookings for the Hill climb at Harewood. We have also been as far afield as Curborough in Staffordshire, Dunoon in Scotland and various points in between covering rallies, race meetings and sprints. We have future bookings at Kames in Scotland for a sprint, Cadwell Park for a race meeting, four days on the RAC rally and of course DDMC Rallycross at Croft. A BIG THANKYOU….. We have confirmed bookings for 63 days covering 31 events and this is all thanks to a small, dedicated crew who have helped extensively throughout the year. WELCOME….. We are welcoming 2 trainees to the unit who I am sure will fit in providing they can put up with the bad jokes on the rescue unit !! THE BAD NEWS…… Unfortunately this year the tour of Mull has been cancelled due to insurance prob- lems – that is one that all the crew looks forward too and hopefully it will be back on the calendar for next year.

Porsche Club motorsport consists of motorsport activities organised by the Porsche Club for its members. These activities require every participant to be a member of Porsche Club GB and to be competing in a Porsche. The Regulations applicable to each form of competition will determine which Championship that car can be used in. The Club organises three Championships, as below. The Porsche Club Speed Championship is generally viewed as the first step into motorsport and involves both hillclimb and sprint events. Our championship has a mix of people who are just starting out in motorsport, but do not have a desire to race and feel more comfortable being on their own against the clock. Some are absolute beginners just starting out and others have been competing over many years – a mix of ‘newbies’ and past champions. The Porsche Club National Hillclimb Championship is, as its name suggests, a championship focussed just on specialised hillclimb events.
