LAP RECORDS BROKEN AT TCRC3

By TCRC

TCRC was a successful weekend of practice, regularity and racing.  Sunday’s  events provided some of the closest racing seen in recent times.

Brad Sherriff missed by an agonising 8/100th of a second in his attempt to  break World F1 Champion Alan Jones’ almost 40 year-old sports sedan lap record.  A small consolation was his lowering of his own local Sports Sedan record.  Brad promises to return for the next round to have another crack in his amazing 9000 rpm, 1200 bhp Nissan Skyline.

Congratulations to Jeremy Dyer who managed to eclipse the 16 year-old Formula Vee lap record formerly held by veteran racer/engineer Noel Clark – who fortuitously and coincidentally was fettling Jeremy’s Elfin Crusader.

TCRC3 NOW A TWO-DAY EVENT

By TCRC

Entries have opened for Round Three of the TCRC to be held over the weekend of 9/10 July.

Originally scheduled as a Sunday-only event, the previously nominated HSCC Saturday practice day will now feature both private practice sessions for all TCRC competitors, along with official TCRC Regularity events.

Sunday will just be qualifying and racing events. The sked does not include HQs or Sports and Racing Cars.

Entry details are on the TCRC page.

TCRC KICKS OFF THIS WEEKEND

By TCRC

The opening round of the 2022 TCRC kicks off on the weekend of 5/6 March with a big two-day meeting.  Plenty of track time for all over three days if you include Friday practice (the latter with a modest fee to cover the ambulance cost).

There are good numbers in all categories – but some classes are larger than others! We will see some new faces, some faces we’ve not seen for a while, and some familiar faces in new cars.

Word on the street is that a couple of lap records might be threatened – that should be entertaining.

After the Saturday track activity the HSCC will conduct a special awards ceremony, followed by a barby and refreshments. The event will be a presentation of Championship trophies to category winners in the 2021 TCRC.  All welcome!

Click here for race schedule and here for the entry list (both subject to change on the days).
