Whilton Mill March 6th:
The season has started for us as the old one finished - except this time it wasn't mechanical failure that scuppered us but a driving error by James which cost us an hour in the pits. Results are here and our report is here.
Chris York:
We were very sorry to learn on Saturday that Chris York is leaving the Whilton Mill circuit this month. He has organised the OEKC races with great skill and good humour and has been a huge benefit to the series. We are very grateful for all the help and assistance he has given us and we wish him all the best success in his new job.
2009 Championship standings:
For what its worth we got sixth in the Championship for 2009. Here are the full listings.
Next Race:
We are at Whilton Mill again next, on Sunday April 11th. We hope to be able to put the testing session we had on March 6th to good effect. The full season's schedule is available here.
Tips for Endurance Racing:
Tom Robinson's tips for making your racing more successful - have a look here.
Rotax Endurance Racing:
The main series if you're serious about endurance racing in the UK is the Open Endurance series run at Whilton Mill and Milton Keynes. New for 2010 is the inclusion of Lydd now that it has been taken over by Daytona. In 2009 the OEKC introduced a night race for the first time and in 2010 there will two of these. And the final change is that the second of these night races will be 6 hours rather than 4½. Even the 4½ hour race is a truly serious test of endurance in a Rotax for a two man team so it will be interesting to see how we cope with 6 hours. The dates are here or on the Open Endurance Championship web site.
An alternative is the series run for Rotax owner drivers by Ian Ward at the Bayford Meadows circuit. But races are only 90 minutes long. They have now announced their
2010 dates although the exact format has yet to be announced. There may also be two winter races but there are no details of those yet. The details are here or on their web site
