Angelica co-drove Kurt Thiel in his Porsche 911 Carrera RSR to 7th o/all and 3rd in class at the Tour Auto. Starting in Paris and ending 7 days later in Nice, the route took in some classic French roads and race circuits along the way.
Our other competitor of the mouth is Jacob Gascoine-Becker who’s just recently joined the club and is starting out on his motorsport journey. After initially trying an Autosolo at Brands Hatch, Jacob entered the Regis Sprint at Goodwood and finished 8th in class against some established sprinters.
Other notable SCMC results in April included,
Declan Dear co-driving Matthew Hirst to 6th o/all on the Carlisle Stages Rally which is a round of the British Championship which as you’d expect attracts an excellent entry.
Paul Braddock also entered his Mini in the Regis Sprint and finished 9th in class.
Our very own chairman has been bitten by the motorsport competition bug again and has taken up Sporting Trails. I believe the purchase of a car is on the horizon but for this month he was the ‘Bouncer’ to driver James Tickle in his Ibex at the The Alan Gisby Trial. Ian has certainly settled into his new motorsport discipline as the crew finished equal 2nd.
Unfortunately, Darrell Taylor & David Burden had bad luck on the Manx & SMC Stages respectively but hopefully they’ll both have better events in the future.
