MOTORSPORT WRAP

2021 CLUB TRACK DAY WRAP UP The best of 2021

Words: Joe Kovacic Images: Stock footage

We had four successful club track days and three cancelled track days in a difficult 2021 COVID-19 lockdown year. All the results are compiled and ready for our presentation day. Thank you to all our competitors and volunteer officials for another successful year of motorsport. Once again, the track day was run under a new simplified class system

comprising of five classes Including, standard, clubman, super clubman, modified and open class. Benchmark times are used to award points for places in your class. This system is a lot fairer for all competitors, resulting in that any model MX-5 from NA through to ND can win their classes. No drivers managed to reach Bryan Shedden’s benchmark times this year. Special congratulations go to the following three drivers for achieving

benchmark times over 99.0%: • Todd Herring Open Class

NB MX-5 Cup Car Benchmark 99.29 % Wakefield - 63.34sec.

• Malcolm Steel Modified Class NB8A

Benchmark 99.24 % Wakefield - 70.13 sec.

• Jamie Martin

Super Clubman Class NA6 Benchmark 99.01 % Wakefield - 73.42 sec.
