You are in for a real treat of close racing, bringing back
memories of yesteryear. The first of the iconic CSCC Special
Saloons and Modsports Series races is out first after
the lunch break. Just who can break the domination of Mark
Ticehurst in his Porsche 935? Turn to page 9 to read about the
very sporting gesture that Mark Ticehurst/John Griffiths is making
that could shake up the result in the second race of the day. Paul
Sibley in his Lotus Elan and Danny Morris/Ricky Parker-Morris in
their Peugeot 309 had chased hard in the two races the Series
had at Donington last month but just could not keep up with the
Porsche.
There are two races for the popular Pirelli Ferrari Formula
Classic Series and more information on these races can be
found on pages 10 and 11. This meeting marks the final races of
2014 for this exciting series.

A very warm welcome from the Classic Sports Car Club, to
this, the second visit to Oulton Park this year. For those of you
that were here last weekend you saw the more ‘modern’ side
of the CSCC Series, whilst today the races you see have a more
‘classic’ feel.

The Classic Sports Car Club returns to
Oulton Park with more exciting racing
As usual there is a more than a full grid for the original CSCC
Series, Swinging Sixties. The Ginetta G4 of Mark Halstead/
Stuart McPherson had a runaway victory at Donington last
month and although this means they will have a 30 second pit
lane penalty today I do not think that will be enough to keep
them from winning again. I think the main battle will be for

other podium spots which will no doubt be between Tim Cairns
(Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite), Father and son team of Chris and
Oliver Petch (Triumph TR5) and Ben Gough/Iain Daniels (Marcos
3 litre) all of whom also have a 30 second pit lane penalty for
winning previous races. It could well be down to who does the
quickest pit stop!
The CSCC Future Classic Series is for slightly ‘newer’ cars
than the Swinging Sixties, from the 1970s and 1980s. Here
again there is virtually a full grid of these cars. Alec Livesley
(Jensen Healey) picked up a good maiden win at Donington last
month as well as a 30 second pit lane penalty for today. Also
on 30 seconds is the Ferrari 308 GTB of Christopher Compton
Goddard/David Coyne (pictured front cover) who won at the first
round at Snetterton way back in April. Mark Chilton (Porsche
928 S4) still has a 60 second pit lane penalty for his wins at
Silverstone and Anglesey, perhaps he can overcome this today or
maybe it’s a chance for Martyn Adams (Triumph TR7V8) or Nic
Olson (Lotus Esprit) to take overall honours?
The CSCC Classic K Series has enjoyed good grids this year
with this being the last round of the year. The Elan S2 of Mark
Halstead/Stuart McPherson picked up a win at Donington last
month and a 30 second pit lane penalty today. The Marcos 1800
GT of Richard Skinner/Gavin Watson also has 30 seconds for it’s
win at Brands Hatch back in May. David Holroyd (Lotus Elan) or
Peter Hiscocks/Richard Field (Ford Mustang) could well challenge
the Halstead/McPherson Elan but will have to pull out that little
bit extra.
The day ends with second races for the CSCC Special Saloons
and Modsports and Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic which I am sure
will be no anti-climax to an exciting day of motorsport.
The 2014 season for the Classic Sports Car Club comes to a close
at Snetterton on the 18th/19th October.

CSCC Special Saloons and Modsports
Introduction
What a bumper year we have had with this
series in 2014, the biggest and best year
since the reincarnation of these unique,
one-off wonderful cars of the 70’s, 80’s and
early 90’s. Each one has a different origin,
specification, temperament and personality!
2014, the third full season of the series,
with the initial open arms event held just
prior at Mallory Park in August 2011, (now
referred to as the spiritual home of the
series), where the cars and owners were
coaxed out into the open, after many years
in the darkness of garages and workshops.
Grids have grown at every meeting since,
a reserve list even at Mallory Park this year,
probably something that hasn’t been seen
since the 80’s!
So here we are at Oulton Park for the first
time in modern times, this meeting being
the closing one for 2014 and 2 x 15 mins
race format with qualifying in the morning,
all on one day.
The season has been pretty much
dominated up front with the flame
throwing Griffiths Porsche 935 driven
by Mark Ticehurst taking six of the nine
wins, while the ever chasing Team Holmes
FC309 Thundersaloon Peugeot reaping
the other three honours available, though,
similar fastest laps means on paper there is
actually the makings for a scrap. However,
4
due to an order
of events the two
have yet to go toe
to toe in battle,
the last meeting at
Donington being a
perfect example as
Team FC309 was
bulked by a spinning
Moss Anglia in race1, and race-2 was
instantly cobbled by
a trip to the gravel
on the first bend
when Danny Morris saw a gap inside the
Porsche at Redgate.
Whatever the outcome, there are others
in the line-up that cannot be taken lightly,
with the awesome V8 power of the exworks Thundersaloon Vauxhall Carlton
driven by Pete Stevens and the ever so
nimble Elan Modsports of Paul Sibley both
capable of podium status too. Bright green
is also a colour to be looking out for, with
Steven Moss in the space frame Anglia and
David Brewis’s Modsport Suzuki SC100
coming on strong last meeting, dicing
with the likes of Stevens, punching way
above their weight in the class strategy and
honours.
Tom Carey in the CRX, Martin Baker’s Imp
and the returning Harper Spitfire
have all been class winners this
year too, and so has Tim Cairns
in the ‘Steam Roller’ Midget and
James Guest in the Mini been
amongst the awards more than
once.
We also see the return of John
Devereaux here today, now
boasting big wings and tyres in the
shape of a 1992 Johnny Cecotto
style GTR kit addition to the black
M3 that JD and Mike Chittenden
Driver Profile Mark Ticehurst
co-pilot for the series. Bigger and bolder
than ever, Rob Compton’s huge V8 Belmont
is back again to tear up the tarmac with his
6700cc American muscle power.
Mark Freemantle is a welcomed newcomer
for 2014 with his BDG powered MK1
Escort, though not the only white Ford of
the period boasting bubble arches as Jeremy
Burgoyne has managed a 100% attendance
record this year and all the way from Exeter
no less. Another Ford, period, in the shape
of a Broadspeed Anglia driven by Neil Duke,
may be his last appearance for a while,
as his Maguire Metro looks to return for
2015 after some major changes courtesy of
Steve Mole Racing, though British Leyland
has two other representatives actually here
today, with Anthony Hayes in his Mini and
Andy Southcott in his all newly owned
space-frame Midget fresh from Northern
Ireland. And it’s great to see Bob Claxton
back already after major work was required
to his space frame Skoda after being caught
up in an incident at Mallory Park just a few
weeks ago.
So it’s time to sit back and witness what is
likely to be a great end to a great year…
Thanks for coming…

Driver Representative
Having had a successful 10yrs in karting
which netted various Club Championships
across several classes, I moved into car
racing in 1995 at the ripe old age of 24!
My first two seasons were within the
highly popular Alfa Romeo Championship
which regularly had full grids. 23 wins
from 36 starts during 1995/96 netted
me the Championship in both years,
plus selective Caterham Races for
Doug Newman in the Gold Arts backed
Caterham K resulted in wins at Spa and
Brands Hatch. This all enabled me to
secure backing to progress to the new
BTCC Supporting Vauxhall Vectra Sri V6
Challenge for 1997/8.
Vauxhall signed me to a works drive
with Triple Eight Race Engineering in the
unique LPG Vectra for 1999 and, whilst
not eligible for the Championship, we
won the first ever race worldwide with an
LPG car. We went on to win 3 races and
outscored the Champion.
Unfortunately BTCC hit hard times at
the end of 1999 and even after a very
promising test with Triple Eight in the
Super Touring Vectra at Pembury, there
were no seats
available and this
remained the case
for many years
afterwards.
I carried on with
MGF Cup in 2000
and maintained
very strong links
with Vauxhall
whilst also
building a new
relationship with
Mazda.
In 2005 the call
came to join the
works Mazda
RX8 in the Britcar
Production S1 Series with co-driver
Natasha Firman. We had an excellent year
with 6 wins and won the Series. I have
been a part of the Mazda ‘family’ ever
since and enjoyed seasons in Britcar, many
long distance races in the UK and Europe
including several 24hr’s and more recently
the British GT Championship driving
what Mazda UK describe as the most
developed MX5
race car worldwide
– The MX5GT4.
I act as a Race
Instructor/ Driver
Coach for Mazda
at Track Events and
demonstrate their
performance cars
around Europe –
The most notable
being the awesome
LeMans winning 4
rotor Mazda 787b.
John Griffiths
Porsche 935 has
always been a special car to me. I first
raced it at Snetterton back in 2007 and
I was like a ‘kid in a sweet shop’. I used
to watch these cars when I was just a kid
dreaming of being a race driver and here
I am now racing in amongst cars such
as Pete Stevens Carlton and Joe Wards
Baby Bertha which is a dream come
true. Whilst I have my professional role
with Mazda in modern race cars, I love
the 1970/80’s era of true race cars with
loads of grunt and noise that the CSCC
has brought together. We’ve now won 6
races from 7 starts and hopefully we can
continue this run of form with the CTR
Developments prepared 935. My sincere
thanks go to John Griffiths and Richard,
Mathew and Tony at CTR for an incredible
2014 season.
Away from Racing, I am married to wife
Ruth and have an 8yr old daughter Erin
and a 5yr old son Blake who is already
showing promise in his Zip Bambino kart.

The fascinating history of the Porsche 911/935
racing now as car 95.
Whilst asking current owner John Griffiths for a short piece about his
Porsche 935, David Smitheram had no idea the story would produce
such a detailed history and discover that its previous owner, Gideon
Hudson, races with us in the CSCC Swinging Sixties and Classic K.
Gideon writes:
I originally acquired the car in about 1985. It was originally built and
run by Paul Edwards who then sold it to Dick Lust. It had, I was told,
been raced in Modsports and at least one W.E.C round at Brands
Hatch. At the time it came equipped with a factory built genuine RSR
specification engine on slide injection. Dick Lust had stripped the car
to rebuild itbut experienced business problems and needed to sell so I
bought the car in pieces and Paul Edwards undertook the rebuild.
I first raced the car in 1986, initially the car ran in 3.2 litre RSR spec
with RSR bodywork. For a period after the rebuild Paul Edwards
maintained the car but I later moved to Neil Bainbridge who was
nearer geographically and was able to co-drive the car and take
it to and from race meetings. I ran the car in AMOC Intermarque
Championship, the Porsche Club Modified Series and other suitable
series such as the Castle Combe GTs. The car was competitive
from the outset and generally a front runner. Over the years I had
some great scraps with Gerry Marshall (in Marsh Plant Astons),
Mike Cousins (Aston V8), Malcolm Hamilton (Jaguar) and Norman
McRoberts, Chester Wedgewood, John Greasley, Mike Holland, Josh
Sadler and many others in Porsches.
Neil Bainbridge tended to use the car as something of a test bed
(and drove it quicker than I did!). In the late 1980’s more and more
Porsches were using turbos’ and genuine RSR parts were becoming
rare and expensive. We eventually decided (I think following a very
expensive blow up at Pembrey in the process of setting pole position)
that we would go the turbo route.
Editors note: It was at this point in the story that we discovered
through comparing period photos and contacting Neil Bainbridge and
Richard Chamberlain that there was in fact a second yellow 911 that
was developed as Gideons/Neils turbo-charged race car. Gideons story
continues about the second ‘RSR Turbo’ car, whilst the original, 3.5
litre N/A car did not compete regularly until John Griffiths bought the
car in 1994 (Johns story continues across the page).
In 1990 the car won class 2 of the Autofarm Modified Porsche
Championship, failing to win the overall Championship only by the
failure of an accelerator mounting at the last round at Snetterton.
1991 was another good year with a superb tally of 5 x overall wins, 2
x seconds and a third out of 10 starts (two DNFs), showing the pace
of the car if it remained in good health.
With a growing family my racing activities during the 1990s were a
little more intermittent although Neil continued to drive from time to
time, as did Josh Sadler, the car continued to be very competitive.
Eventually in 2001 I decided to sell the car and it was bought by Phillip
Harris. Thereafter I lost track of it. It was a brilliant 911 to race thanks
to Neil’s handiwork and personal development. In turbo form the 911
was very quick but I still miss the thrill of the RSR on slide injection. It
had a buzz from the moment you started it in the paddock and drew
an appreciative crowd. It had masses of torque and was very forgiving
which is probably why I developed so many bad habits and struggle a
bit with an underpowered (but lovely!) Lotus Elite now. Sadly I don’t
have a full record of my results although I have a stack of trophies (in
packing cases in the loft) and memories of some great scraps. It was
the car, not me!

1994, the first year of John Griffiths ownership
Current owner John Griffiths
continues the story of this Porsche 935.
John writes:
In 1974, while in garages and workshops around the country the
wild and wacky racers known as Modsports were being created in
increasing numbers, a bog standard Porsche 911E could be found
scooting around the lanes of Britain.
Precisely who owned it then is lost in history. What is known is that
over the course of the next decade, in true Modsports style, the
monocoque structure of its front and rear ends disappeared in favour
of lighter spaceframes; the 2.7 litre, 167bhp flat-six gave way to a
much-modified 3.3 litre unit pumping out 320bhp; AP Racing calipers
and much larger discs found their way to the front and a set of 911
turbo front brakes to the rear. Not least, suspension mods cleared the
way for skinny 8-inch wheels to go in favour of front 11-inch and rear
Sporting new FT livery
14-inch monsters. With lookalike glass fibre body panels bolted on, it
looked for all the world like a full-on racing works Porsche 911RSR –
but at a smidgen of a works car’s price..
When it drifted across his bows with a ‘for sale’ sign in the 1980s,
it was too good a car for Gideon Hudson, city lawyer, already
experienced race driver (and current competitor in CSCC’s Classic K
series) to pass up. From then on, for almost a decade, Hudson and
the banana yellow Porker were either winning or front-running in
a wide variety of races, although mainly in the Porsche Club Great
Britain’s Open Series for the fastest, most extremely modified cars and
Aston Martin Owner’s Club Intermarque championship.
It was a chance encounter in the Castle Combe paddock at the end
of the 1994 season that has led to Mark Ticehurst being at the wheel
2001, the first 935 iteration, with twin KKK27 Turbos added and specially made
of John Griffiths’ 911 RSR-turned- “935” today, with six wins out of
GRP body panels. Output up to current 500 to 520 bhp
seven starts in the Special Saloons and Modsports under his belt (a
series record).
Griffiths had just wheeled in from the track having clinched an MG
V8 championship title, after a season-long battle with former British
saloon car champion Warwick Banks. “And I found myself parking
up behind the widest, curviest, most exciting backside I have ever
seen in my life – sorry, dear,”, Griffiths recalls with a grin. Within
three weeks, the deal was done: Griffiths and his long-time, endlessly
supportive sponsor Pirelli had acquired the Hudsonmobile and were
ready to roll in 1995. Richard Chamberlain confirms that at this stage
the car had a normally aspirated RSR engine on slide injection.
2014 Mallory Park, Mark Ticehurst scores a triple victory
It was a season, followed by several others, of low-key success: the
occasional class win, usually in the top five and huge fun racing the
likes of the big Marsh Plant Aston Martins, 7 litre Cobras and hugely modified Jaguar E-Types. Also one of brief aesthetic disaster: the car
was to be repainted white with a wide FT pink stripe (Griffiths being the Financial Times long-standing motor industry editor before semiretirement). By mistake, the stripe went on merely the yellow. It was a truly horrible combination – “ugh! It’s dietary pink” said a rival in the
paddock: “you look at it; throw up then can’t eat for a week.”
With a new generation of turbo’d cars with 500bhp-plus joining the fray, by the late 1990s further evolution had to take place.
Team mate and spectacularly innovative engineer Richard Chamberlain, whose now hugely more developed sister car running in GT Cup
is indisputably the fastest Porsche racing in Britain today, led the way for the cars to be fitted with twin turbos, with chassis dynamics and
braking systems further uprated accordingly. There are flat floors and diffusers, splitters and rear wings entirely of Chamberlain’s design, as
are body panels which fit carefully within Modsports rules and which, while seemingly identical to a “works” 935, are individual designs
with even the moulds made from scratch.
The car is well- travelled, including a major GT race in Bahrain, and Griffiths has gladly offered its wheel to much-respected driver friends at
times of injury; among them Le Mans and Goodwood Revival ace Tony Dron, who had an outright win with it at the Silverstone Classic, and
now Mazda and ex-works Vauxhall driver Ticehurst. Griffiths shared the Bahrain GT drive with the redoubtable Ian Flux, their race cut short
when a rear wheel fractured.
Until this year the car had not raced for three years, its previous last appearance in an AMOC invitation race resulting in a onetwo victory
with Ticehurst following Chamberlain home. The medics are working with some new technology on Griffiths himself, who is hoping to
return to racing after sustaining licence-forfeiting internal injuries at Brands Hatch several years ago.

History of Porsche in Special Saloon and Modsports
For a period of time, roughly 1974
to 1984 Porsches were regular cars
competing in UK Modsports. The 911 RS
and RSR with its mid-engined handling
and factory-built homologated race
parts brought a new challenge to the
established Modsport fraternity.
The TVR’s, E-types and big Healeys must
have looked rather 60s and homemodified in comparison to the German
invasion in 1974. Nick Faure, Giovanni
De Stefano and Alan Broad were all front
runners that year, although another new
car, the Samari Datsun 240z of Win Percy
took the BARC class win. John Cooper
bought the Broad car for 1975, a 280
bhp modified RS to win the class and in
1976 Cooper won the BARC Modsport
championship outright. Winning all 13
rounds he entered even though all the
‘big’ cars were now in a single ‘over
2000cc’ class. He also won a few in the
inaugural rival series from the BRSCC that
year.
If Modsport purists were divided over this
new teutonic efficiency then a certain
Jonathan Palmer restored some British
order in 1977 in his Marcos-Rover to
win the BARC series outright against the
continued Porsche challenge from the
likes of Tony Wingrove and Mike Franey.
Wingrove and his 2.8 RSR was denied
again in 1978 in both BARC and BRSCC
series by the Marcos, now in the hands
of Richard Gamble. Wingrove wasn’t to
be denied though and 10 BARC class
wins in 1979 won him the class and took
him to 3rd overall. Over in the BRSCC
series Barry Robinson won outright in
his 3.0 RSR and for 1980 settled for
2nd in class behind another RSR of Paul
Edwards. The Edwards 3.2 RSR also took
on the top hybrids of the day in the 1980
Donington GT, finishing 3rd in the big
class behind the likes of Mick Hill and
Walter Robertson.
Edwards would be
an occasional visitor
but often a victor in
various club races to
1983 before moving
into the Intermarque
Challenge and
Porsche Modified
series which were
increasingly providing
a home for the
Porsche fraternity.
Dudley Wood
1980 had also saw
the first ‘flat nose’
Porsches in UK club racing. Dudley Wood
used the Donington GT as a warm up for
Le Mans in his Charles Ivey 935 K3, the
former Kremer team car but still a state of
the art GT machine back then. In contrast,
Adrian Yates-Smith raced in a selfmodified ‘flat nose’ 911SC that year
recording 7 wins and 9 second places
in Modsports, Donington GTs and with
Barrie ‘Whizzo’ Williams placed a fine
6th at the Brands 6 hours. In fact many
of the Porsches that raced in Modsports
also raced in the International endurance
events of the time, particularly at
Silverstone and Brands. This was a time
long before the British
GT championship was
around to give those
teams wanting track
time, ahead of the
challenges of 6-hour
international events.
As the 80s wore on
sadly Modsports
declined, one of
the last Porsches of
interest still involved
was the ‘959 clone’
of Richard Chilton as
most of the others had gone over to the
Porsche Modified series.
A long line of modified Porsches have
raced in the UK since then of course.
Those who have gone down the ‘flat
nose’ route, either in a real 935, clone
935 or just a flat nosed 911 include Josh
Sadler, Mike Holland, Gavin Mortimer,
Steve O’Rourke, John Greasley, Ross
Hyett, John Griffiths, Bob Watson, Richard
Chamberlain and in the CSCC Mark
Ticehurst continues this heritage.

A series of races for Special Saloons, Super
Saloons, Thunder Saloons, Donington GT’s,
Marque Sports, Special GTs & Modsports. The
regulations have been written to include a wide
range of these cars that were so popular in the
1970s through to the early 1990s.
The Special Saloons enjoy double header race
meetings consisting of a 15 minute qualifying
session and 2 x 15 minute races.
Class structure:
Class A – over 6000cc
Class B – 2101cc to 6000cc
Class C – 1501cc to 2100cc
Class D – 1041cc to 1500cc
Class E – up to 1040cc
Class T – Taster
All turbo-charged engines race in class A.
Winners Penalty
All CSCC race series except the Specal Saloons
and Modsports employ an overall winners
penalty. This is a rule that will be considered and
voted on by the drivers for next season.
Mark Ticehurst now holds the records for the
most CSCC Special Saloons and Modsports
overall wins, therefore he and car owner John
Griffiths have sportingly agreed to be guinea pig
for this final meeting of the year. If Mark wins
overall in race 1 today he will accept a winners
penalty at the start of race 2, most likely in the
form of his starting position during the rolling
start.

Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic
Today Oulton Park sees the final two rounds
of the 2014 Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic
series. This race series, the only one of its
type in the world, is designed for Ferrari
road cars built prior to 1990 but excluding
turbo-charged cars like the 288GTO and
F40. The field is arranged in a classification
of four Groups according to engine capacity
and state of tune. As will be seen from the
entry list in the programme, the hugely
successful 328 tipo is the most popular
with the Ferrari drivers. This model was
the culmination of the development of the
brilliant 308 design of the ’70s and has
proved to be ‘bullet-proof’ as a production
Ferrari for serious club racing. However,
there are a few of the older 308s entered
today.
The Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic is
organised by the Ferrari Owners’ Club of
Great Britain and promoted by Pirelli Tyres.
Additional sponsorship of the series is by
Ferrari parts specialist Superformance,
whose windscreen decals are carried on all
the cars.
In today’s line-up, the man to beat is
probably Gary Culver, who has had a
phenomenal season of success. Whether
on the wide open spaces of Silverstone’s
Grand Prix circuit or, as last time out, on
the fast but tricky track at Castle Combe,
in treacherously wet conditions, Gary has
dominated the races. However, he has been
made to work hard all the time, principally
by last year’s champion Ferrari driver, Jim
Cartwright. Searching for adequate words
to describe their monumental battles for
Class 1
29 William Moorwood
56 Carl Burgar
overall supremacy, ‘like fighting alley cats’
comes to mind.
While the outright winners of today’s
races are likely to come from the modified
Ferraris in Group 4, there is equally strong
competition in Group 3. The leading drivers
in this section so far this season have been
Tim Walker, Darren Wilson, and Peter
Everingham. However, in the most recent
outing, at the end of August, Pete Fisk
drove a masterly race to destroy all his class
rivals. Expect a memorable battle today.
In the smaller engined classes, the pick of
the crop are likely to be the multi-talented
David Tomlin (he also races Lotus Cortina
and Lotus Elan very effectively) and Chris
Compton Goddard. They each have highly
prized and highly developed fibreglass
308GTBs which are quick enough to
challenge for an outright win.
Whatever Ferraris they may be driving, you
can rest assured that the drivers will be
trying their utmost at what is arguably the
finest and most challenging circuit in the
country!

Swinging Sixties
A capacity grid with reserves here at Oulton Park for you to enjoy, combining groups 1 and 2 into one race.
Almost every round in 2014 has been won by a different driver, the overall winners penalty helping to mix things
up at the sharp end of the grid.
Swinging Sixties Report
Donington Park 31st August 2014
Once again we started with a capacity
grid, with reserves, despite Classic K
running on the same day.
The Mark Halstead and Stuart McPherson
Ginetta set a 1.20 lap time that would
prove impossible to beat, with John
Muirhead almost 2 seconds behind him.
3.4 seconds behind John were the next 10
or so cars all within 2.5 seconds of each
other.
During practice, on the opening lap, the
Seven of Will Hodges pulled off with a
broken fuel pump and Andy Southcott and
Bill Watt were relegated to the back of the
grid for flag infringements. This meant 3
front-running cars due to start from the
back of the grid. Commendably, despite
this and a full grid of 36 cars, there were
no incidents during the start.
However during the race, Christopher Lay
span his white and blue Lotus Cortina at
Roberts, which also led to the sump plug
being broken off
and the engine oil
being deposited
on the racing line.
Iain Daniels just
managed to keep
the red V6 Marcos
on the black
stuff, but Andy
Southcott was not
as fortunate, spinning out and ending up
stationary in the middle of the start of the
Wheatcroft Straight. This brought out the
safety car, allowing Andy to bolt to safety,
quicker than Usain!

Come and race with the Classic Sports Car Club
The Classic Sports Car Club organises friendly club racing with an emphasis on great value
for money and high driving standards. We drive at the best circuits in the UK and abroad.
Whether you are a racing novice or you have experience with another racing club, you shouldn’t need convincing that racing cars
on a track with other enthusiasts is one of the most exciting pastimes you might ever do.
What makes the CSCC different
from other racing clubs?
We are a club first and a business second.
Our committee is made up of experienced
racers and officials and ensures that we
provide our club members with the best
possible racing experience at sensible
costs. Strictly enforced driving standards
– no-one wants to spend money on panel
repairs Beginner friendly with a new driver
‘buddy’ system to help you through your
first race meeting. With the exception of
the Special Saloons and Modsports Series
we have longer 40 minute or one hour
races with a mandatory pit stop and 20
to 30 minute qualifying/practice sessions
on the same day. Entries may be either
single drivers, two drivers sharing a single
car or a two car team (all at the same
race entry fee). An overall winners penalty
helps reduce the likelihood of the same
car dominating at every round. Freedom
of choice when it comes to tyres (from
the MSA list 1A or 1B) and some other
modifications. We allow a “Taster” round
where the registration fee will be waived
for the first round.
How much will it cost?
Well, Motor Racing is never cheap, but
the club makes the track time you receive
great value. The initial equipment costs
can be quite high, but once bought the
ongoing costs can be very reasonable. We
have members who race on a shoestring
and may only compete in one or two
rounds a year, sleeping in their car/tent/
van/aunties house with no testing time,
whilst other members stay in hotels and
have a race team to look after them. We
embrace every type of racer, as long as
they are here to have fun. If you have
been taking part in trackdays or sprinting
and hill climbing then the costs to race are
not too dissimilar once you have actually
bought the mandatory safety equipment
for yourself and your car. The cheapest
way of racing with us is to share a car
with a friend and so sharing the costs.
Choose the CSCC races meetings which
take place nearest to you, drive your road
legal car to the circuit, camp overnight,
qualify and race and drive home again
afterwards! Doing this may cost each
driver as little as £250 per event even
taking into account the race entry fee,
petrol and a bacon roll or two.
wrist restraints in open cars. Once bought,
many of these items will last many years if
well looked after.
Choice of car and car safety
Racing licence
Your choice of car is a very personal one
and is likely to come down to budget,
what you may already own or what you
are interested In. Most choose to buy their
car outright or share the car with a friend
(halving the costs), but you can also rent
a racing car on a race by race basis from
a number of teams that race with the
CSCC. Take a look at our different series
and their simple regulations to see where
a particular car may fit in. An existing race
car is usually the cheapest way of starting
out, with a selection of cars starting from
just £2000. Contact the CSCC club office
who may be able to advise you of a cars
suitability and eligibility. Before thinking of
how to make a car go faster you must first
make sure it is safe for competition. The
MSA Blue Book (which you will receive
as part of your racing licence application)
is your bible when it comes to the safety
requirements of a racing car. In brief, to
turn a road car into a racing car you will
need to fit a fire extinguisher, racing seat,
harnesses, roll cage, electrical cut off,
relevant stickers (including a novice cross)
and a transponder so that each racing
lap you complete is counted and timed.
After this it is generally accepted that
improvements to the brakes, suspension,
cooling, tyres and most importantly
the drivers skills (!) should come before
increasing power.
To compete in a race you must hold a
valid racing licence. To get one of these
is both fun and straightforward. Visit the
MSA website, purchase a ‘Go Racing’
pack for £95, take a medical, book an
‘ARDS’ course with a race circuit where
you take (and hopefully pass) a practical
and theory test and send off for your
license (first years licence fee included).
Your first racing licence will be a Race
National B which is fine for all of the
CSCC UK rounds. To be able to race
with us in Belgium at our Spa Summer
Classic event requires a Race National A
licence; to get this requires you to gain
six race signatures, by successfully racing
in different events. A days marshalling
also gains you a signature, is well
recommended and saves you money.
Driver safety
Please contact the Classic Sports Car
Club for any advice or help about how
to get started with us.
In addition to the safety equipment your
car needs to have you must
also invest in suitable clothing,
again the MSA Blue Book is
your guide here. The CSCC has
a discount directory which is
sent to members, helping them
to save money on equipment.
As a minimum you require
a suitable MSA helmet, FIA
fireproof overalls, gloves and
boots. It is recommended that
you also consider fireproof
underwear, a HANS device and
Alternatively, if you would like to get
involved in the action but don’t fancy
racing why not volunteer to marshal
with us? It’s the closest you can get to
the action without sitting in the drivers
seat. Marshalling is for anybody who is
interested in and wants to be involved
in motorsport. You don’t need any
special skills or qualifications to start,
just common sense and a reasonably
developed sense of self-preservation. You
will have a great day out as one of the
‘Angels in Orange’ and even get some
money towards your lunch.

CSCC Future Classics
The Future Classics Series for Sports, Saloons and GT cars (with doors) from the 1970’s and 1980’s enjoys another full grid.
Last years race at Oulton Park was sadly cut short after damage to the track, so the drivers will be keen to enjoy the full 40 minute
race today.
Last months race at Donington Park
had excitement up to and over the
finishing line! Race winner Alec
Livesley tells us more.
My car started life in 1975 as a Jensen
GT, in 1995 it was converted to a race car
after it was written off following an under
bonnet fire. Since then it has competed in
the 750 Motor Club Roadsports Series and
the Healey Championship, the latter meant
it had to have the roof removed to convert
it into a Jensen Healey.
I acquired the car in 1999 and entered
it into 750MC Roadsports Series with
reasonable success. At the end of 2002 I
left the Jensen in the back of the garage
and I went on to drive in the Ginetta G20
Cup and various other models with great
success. At the end of 2008 I had a break
from racing to concentrate on family life
and my successful building company,
Livesley Projects Ltd, a winners award
for our development of a Dirty Martini
Cocktail bar reflected this commitment.
In 2012 we pulled the car out of the
garage, making a plan to completely
remove all the things that I considered
problematical and began rebuilding the
car. We started with the suspension; we
removed the old sub-frame and built
new versions front and rear, still utilising
the original pickup points. New shock
absorbers from Protech were chosen. We
also made the exhaust side exit as we
could never get the car low enough with
it going under the car. The engine was
stroked to 2491cc producing 242bhp,
up from its original 1973cc 140bhp.
Braking was upgraded to 280mm disc
and Willwood 4 piston callipers on the
front and 240mm discs on the rear. We
also removed the servo and replaced it
with a double master cylinder connected
with a bias bar giving me very predictable
braking.
“My first win with the CSCC
was a bitter but then sweet
experience in the end”
The more powerful engine has only just
been re-installed after a few issues early
in the season. At Castle Combe we saw
where we could be with the new engine,
qualifying well, but a head gasket failure
stopped play.
We missed the next round at Anglesey so
we could get the engine sorted out, a slight
reduction in compression ratio and a day
with Novatech rolling road got it sorted.
I hadn’t raced at Donington Park since
2006 but 4 wins in 8 visits at this track
and a week after a win with another
club at Silverstone International I was
full of confidence in myself and the car.
I qualified 5th on the grid but I felt there
was more to come from the car. An
interesting session with a car going off in
front me, a stranded Porsche at the old
hairpin and then fluid going down through
Schwantz curve and McLeans.
The race start wasn’t great for me, I
dropped a few places but soon got them
back, dicing with the very fast Astra GTE
of John Hammersley and Simon Taylor. I
could get past on the way into corners
I just didn’t have the grunt to hold him
on the way out. However, once past the
Astra I was soon onto the Card/Card
BMW M3 and after just 2 laps chasing
the BMW I pitted. Nic Olson had pitted
the Lotus Esprit a lap earlier and had a
great stop and looked to be way out in
front. I felt like I was closing in on him,
whether it would have been enough we
will never know but as he pulled over to
the right at Schwantz curve I thought I
had done enough but I couldn’t see the
BMW. As I lapped the black TVR Tuscan I
knew they weren’t on the pace then I saw
the Chilton 928 Porsche off at Roberts, I
thought I had definitely won but as I came
into parc ferme I was directed past the
commentator, into the paddock. Confused
and slightly aggrieved I went to the timing
tower and asked where I had lost a lap!
It turned out the computer didn’t like my
transponder passing the timing line on the
grass as I lapped 2 duelling Toyota MR2`s!
My first win with the CSCC was a bitter
but then sweet experience in the end.
Next onto Oulton Park - I haven’t been
here since 2003. But it is another iconic
British track with flowing corners, plenty
of undulations; power is definitely not king
here. A place well suited to my driving
style and the Jensen Healey. Maybe even
add a splash of rain for good measure!
Thank you, Alec Livesley 6

CSCC Classic K Series
The CSCC Classic K series has enjoyed a superb revival year in 2014, with close racing and consistently high grid numbers. This is the
last Classic K race of the season, it will return in the spring next year. Will this final race produce yet another different overall winner?
Classic K Race Report Donington August 2014
The penultimate round of Classic K
at Donington on Sunday 31st August
saw the largest and most varied grid
of the season with 15 different models
represented. Newcomers to the series
included Peter Aylett and Steven Farrall
in their 1298cc Diva GT and Mike
Gardiner with Niki Faulkner in their
4700cc Falcon.
Every round of Classic K in 2014 has
seen a different winner. Although the
series is well supported by Lotus Elans,
they had not yet managed to produce
a win, but this time Mark Halstead and
Stuart McPherson managed to get their
Elan on pole and win the race.
The Gardiner/Faulkner Falcon kept them
honest for most of the 60 minutes but
unfortunately ran out of fuel on the last
lap, classifying as a finisher in fourth
