saloon results

monster · 1 Dec 2002, 09:39 (Ref:440391)

Can anybody help? looking for a site which shows 60,70,80s saloon results in uk,just interested to see history of some drivers who are still racing today.

David McKinney · 1 Dec 2002, 12:26 (Ref:440477)

Results of ETC rounds can be found at http://www.euronet.nl/users/in004021/
I've seen some online BTCC results at least, but can't remember where. Have you tried google?

TimD · 1 Dec 2002, 13:21 (Ref:440502)

This is one of my great unsatisfied quests. I would love to find such an archive.

I can reiterate David's recommendation of Frank de Jong's ETCC site - it's brilliant. But for BTCC/BSCC results, I'm still searching.

Monster, who were some of the drivers you were interested in? I suspect that our members will be able to offer year-by-year biographies of many personalities.

TIM D,What started my quest was seeing Les Nash on Andrew Kitsons post. Les races in CTCRC club. I know Skid Scarborough & Jim Burrows both have Touring car experience in the club. I wondered who else. Also, I would be interested in what cars competed & driven by whom as the club has a varied array of cars (RX 7,Capris,Fiesta,Golfs,). Like to see who drove these cars originally.

There's also Gerry Marshall, and Tony Crudgington, who used to race a Toyota Corolla in Tricentrol I believe...

simon drabble · 2 Dec 2002, 15:22 (Ref:441163)

Gerry Marshall is President of Julius Thurgood's historic saloon series including HSCC HRSR and Top Hat. He comes out in a Mustang as does Jackie Oliver.

Monster - here's a shot of Les Nash the year before the crunch shot you refer to, but still at the Palace. It's the F2 meeting on 3rd June '68 and he's exiting South Tower onto the pits straight, chasing Mike Walker.

Skid Scarborough drove a Rover in the BTCC around 1987, - prior to that production saloons in Capris & Mitsubishi Starions comes to mind- his cars were usually backed by Letchworth Roofing or something like that. I've got some BTCC results from the mid-80's collected somewhere, so I might be able to fill in a few details

As far as the BTCC or far more preferably sounding 'British Saloon Car Championship' goes, surely the MSA should have a results archive as it was the RAC Championship for years? Perhaps someone could call Derek Tye there who could send us in the right direction?
One thing I recall from the sixties though was just how many races competitors did! As I have posted before, my Dad was a mechanic on Galaxies, Cortina's, Anglia's etc. One year - but cant remember which, we did 4 different meetings over Easter!
Raced in three different Championships too aswell as many saloon scratch races at all forms of clubbie meetings from January to December with just a three week break in the racing season.
Saloon names from back then who still race include Gerry Marshall, Tony Lanfranchi, Jack Oliver, Whizzo Williams, Willie Green and Peter Baldwin, but there must be many more.

The thread's called Saloon Results, so here's the result of something! Mallory Park International meeting 29th June 69. West countryman Dennis Leach had a reputation as a wild man and in the Group 5 race he took the lead at the start leaving Roy Pierpoint and Frank Gardner to try and catch him. When he spun exiting the hairpin on lap 1 they did!

2's company 3's a crowd. Great pic.

Hobson · 19 Dec 2002, 20:59 (Ref:453754)

Probably not exactly what your after, but the CTCRC website has championship results previous CSCC members, back from 1975. Interesting to see who is still racing, if any!

Frank de Jong · 9 Sep 2005, 17:58 (Ref:1403141)

It took a while, but the first tentative step to include the BTCC on my website http://etcc-history.it4us.nl has been taken - the 1968 season is included now (national championship section).

Gerry Taylor · 20 Sep 2005, 08:38 (Ref:1412001)

I wish that I could help, but I have been looking everywhere for the same thing, without any luck whatsoever. In my case I wanted to see if anyone had taken any 8mm film (we didn't have video in those days) of my Swish Anglia. I raced for over ten years, and have seen people filming the car, do you think that I could find just one foot of film? No!! The same with a list of results, yes I have the old MN and the AS and they do carry the races I was in, but a Saloon Results Record for the years I raced, nothing! Good luck in your quest.

zefarelly · 20 Sep 2005, 08:40 (Ref:1412003)

likewise, I've struggled to find results for 1963 saloons to see how the COrtinas faired and over which months. apart from a few odd races I can't find anything.

looks like I'm going to have to ebay for autosports

What years were you racing Gerry? Sorry I have lost all my mags & programmes from the pre-video era and I never kept records of tin-tops but I was using a 8mm cine camera from 1961-67,mainly at Brands,Crystal Palace,Snetterton,Goodwood & Silverstone. If you raced in this period,and can remind me what your Anglia looked like I wil look for you.

COLIN STUBBS · 20 Sep 2005, 10:35 (Ref:1412073)

Dave, Do you have any more shots of the camaro? (Or any other early camaros for that matter?)..I'm still trying to track down the history of my car and you never know....??

Cheers, Jeff

Hi Guy's Thanks for the chat its nice to talk about those great days. Yes, I raced from 1964 thru 1975 and the cars were a mini 850 followed by several Anglias and an Escort. By far the most well known was the Anglia,the White and Yellow car, It had a broad black band from bonnet to boot right across the roof too. (Apart from when I had that infamous flip at Shaws Hairpin at Mallory, and a rebuild over night left us without the black band) You can actually see the car and read the info on the car on the racing 70s site run by Paul Barrow: www.racing70s.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
I would love to see any pics or film anyone has if that is at all possible? Just drop me an e-mail at: gerry@voicecannell.plus.com
I did race at all the circuits, as I was chasing points in the redex the triplex the hepolite and all the rest. I even raced at Ingliston on the Saturday and then Mallory on the Sunday and then Silverstone on the Bank holiday Monday. Happy Days! Talk more Later. Gerry.

For 1980s touring car buffs [particularly Rover fans], I found this site recently. If you check out the racing section, there's pretty comprehensive coverage of a few races and some interesting information on the cars that were racing at the time. For instance I didn't realize that the BMW 635 CSIs had different power outputs dependent on team. Check it out.

Hey, has anyone found any results site for the BSCC/BTCC?

I would love to found out race winners for the 60's, 70's and 80's.

I have the winners from 1988....

Frank de Jong · 18 Apr 2006, 16:18 (Ref:1587753)

The 1968 season is on my site; the 1960 BSCC season will be on my site in 1-2 months time.
The rest will follow, I'm sure...

**John Turner** · 18 Apr 2006, 17:20 (Ref:1587796)

I'm happy to post the direct link up here, Frank:-
