Final Round Castle Coombe - RevingtonTR/TR Register Sprint & Hill Climb Championship

Published: 05 Nov 2018 updated: 08 Nov 2018

It was down to the wire for the final sprint round at Castle Coombe for this year's RevingtonTR/TR Register Sprint and Hill Climb Championship, with two in contention to take the championship it was all to play for, Over to Neil for his account from the day's action...

"The RevingtonTR/TR Register sprint at Castle Combe in October is historically our last event of the season and occasionally the winner or our championship is determined at this last event. 2018 was such a year and we were hoping for a fierce match between Nick Smith and Martin Paine who were at the top of the table. Sadly, Nick was unable to compete due to family illness, so Martin could breathe a little easier and did enough on the day to secure the championship. Well done to Martin, a future report will detail the other championship award winner later.

I was hoping for a magnificent day's motorsport as the weather forecast was sunny all day. As the sky was clear in the morning inevitably, we were faced with fog first thing which delayed the start such that first practice was cancelled in favour of a convoy run. Sadly, the delayed start meant we could only get one run in the afternoon which was a shame as the track was dry and warm meaning that exceptional times were possible.

John Weedon (TR4) got his foot in good and proper on the first and only run to take first place in the class of 11 of us with myself in the Beta just half a second behind to take second place. See you all on the starting line next year.

Cheers

Neil Revington"
