Current Issue - Speedscene 231 Nov/Dec 2024
The final issue of Speedscene for 2024 begins with a classic, Rob MacDonald, Shelsley startline shot of Fyrth Crosse's very well known and ex Mike Wilds Ensign LNF3 on the cover.
The concluding rounds of all the UK's major Speed championships are reported on, starting with BHC reports from Prescott, Doune and Loton followed by BSC reports from Snetterton, Knockhill, Pembrey and Anglesey and with round ups of the Woodford Trailers supported Sprint Leaders and HSA Speed championships.
Chris Bennett describes the story behind CCC Racing's unlikely success in the British Sprint championship with their 1 litre Force TA and John Brown looks back of the well supported and successful Formula Ford challenge, won this year by Paul Morcom. Matthew Bainbridge looks back on SBR Racing's season with their fearsome V8 powered Chrono competing overseas and winning the UK Tin Top hillclimb challenge for the first time. Simon Clemow describes how he and Dave Greenslade visited the Isle of Man three day (and 3 event) Manx Classic hillclimb with their Radical SR1 and despite encountering problems came away with the overall win.
Fyrth Crosse concludes the story of his life in cars while Peter Herbert recounts the story of the outstanding Italian hillclimber, Fabio Dante. Speedscene visits Woodford Trailers, the sponsors of three HSA organised championships, to take a look at their background and products.
The issue finishes up with all the usual columns from Paul Parker, Jerry Sturman, Les Buck, Chris Bennett and finally, the traditional Christmas quiz.
