74th GRRC Members Meeting

A successful Goodwood weekend at by all accounts albeit a little cold. The wind down the pitlane was brisk but all our drivers and both our cars went out and performed admirably. Some modifications to the Rover knocked 1 second of last years lap time. Riorden Welby had a stellar drive on Saturday making up 12 places. On Sunday the driving duties were shared with race car engineering royalty Adrian Reynard. The BMW 1800ti of Stuart Patterson had a good run despite the race being cut down to 10 minutes due to stoppages during the day. As in previous years the event was superb and stands up as one of the seasons best. Already looking forward to the 75th.Rover SD1 Goodwood Members Meeting Rover SD1 Goodwood Members Meeting 2BMW 1800ti Goodwood Members Meeting 2 BMW 1800ti Goodwood Members Meeting

BMW 1800ti prepped for 74th Members Meeting

The BMW 1800ti of Stuart Patterson has been prepped ready for the Whitmore Cup at Goodwood’s 74th Members Meeting. We are looking forward to the under 2 litre format this year in what should prove to be a very close race with the other 1800’s, Mini Cooper S’s and Lotus Cortina’s.

Goodwood Revival 2015

Goodwood Revival always proves to be the top event of the season. It is big and it is crowded but the quality of machinery and the quality of the racing is second to none. Our weekend was trouble free for the most part. The BMW 1800ti although not as quick as some of the others performed admirably. Darren Turner had a fairly lonely race finishing 15th on the Saturday. For the ever popular Settrington Cup we had Annabel Lawson at the wheel who thoroughly enjoyed herself. Can’t wait for March and for the 74th Members Meeting.
