Current Issue - Speedscene 230 Sept/Oct 2024
Issue 230 exemplifies everything we love about Speed events starting with a stunning, Nigel Cole image of Matt Ryder' Gould GR59 concentrating hard at Wiscombe in July.
Inside Matt's attempts to close the gap on British Hillclimb championship front runner, Alex Summers are detailed in full through BHC reports from Harewood, both Channel Islands events, Wiscombe and Shelsley featuring some of the best images that our much appreciated photographers have contributed. The British Sprint Championship reports cover events from Lydden Hill, Kirkistown and Llandow as Chris Jones begins his late charge for the championship. The Sprint Leaders and HSA Speed championships also receive recognition with their most recent events covered.
Fyrth Crosse reports on the Classic Nostalgia event from Shelsley Walsh in July with both words and pictures while 'A visit to the museum' takes an unusual trun with editor, Michael Clavert's trip to the Italian Air Force museum at Vigna di Valle, including references to the Ferrari logo.Peter Herbert pays homage to the Porsche 911 ST, examples of which appeared in European hillclimbs in the seventies.
Fyrth Crosse continues his engaging auto autobiography (sorry, couldn't resist!) as it enters the eighties and includes a 911.
All of the regular columns are present including those from Paul Parker, Andrew Dinner, Chris Bennett, Jerry Sturman, obituaries and book reviews and are joined by a new column from former HSA Chairman, Les Buck called Buck's Fizz with the intention of following in the tyre tracks of (and honouring the memory of) former Speedscene columnist, Clive Wooster.
