I have had an idea to get two new series underway to allow drivers – should they chose - to race primarily at Oulton Park and Anglesey.
Club Formula Ford has consistently proved to be a popular and well supported concept with fifty plus Formula Fords at most meetings, so why not extend the same opportunity to Sports Car and Saloon Car drivers?
NORTH WEST CLUB SALOON CHALLENGE
and
NORTH WEST CLUB SPORTS CAR CHALLENGE
CRITERIA
A Saloon Car is a saloon car and a Sports Car is a sports car whatever it’s age. Here endeth the technical regulations
WHAT KIND OF CARS DO I ENVISAGE?
This list is no way exhaustive, so take your pick from :
Saloons
Mini 7, Miglia, Cooper Challenge, Special Saloon, any of the Mighty variants.
Alfas, XRs, Fiestas, Fiats, Clios, Tomcats, CRX, Jaguars,
Anything that is a Classic or Historic Saloon
Anything else you can think of
Sports Cars
TVR, MX5, Ginetta, MG, Austin Healeys, Caterhams, Clubmans,
Anything that is a Classic or Historic Sports Car
Anything else you can think of.
With sufficient support, the races could be split to cater for “speed types” e.g. faster or slower. I've done this before and it worked well.
WHO WOULD / SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN SUCH A VENTURE?
1 The drivers who might have a car that no longer fits into the current championship classes.
2 The drivers who might not want to trek the length and breadth of the country to do their racing.
3 The race organising clubs.
4 Drivers who want the opportunity to race against different types of cars.
Eligibility would not be confined solely to North West drivers. Anybody would be welcome to enjoy the hospitality of racing in the North West.
