Speed Championship 2019 - Overview and Results

The Blue Diamond sponsored Speed Championship has had a fantastic season consisting of nine Rounds at popular venues all over the UK, from the depths of Devon to the heady heights of Harewood. Our 2017 winner David Furnell scoops the winning trophy yet again in “The Toy”, which is his trusty 1930 Austin 7, keeping the young Eddie Williams at bay by a mere five points. All is not lost for Eddie, who drove Charles Gillett’s 1929 Frazer Nash Super Sports with assured skill to secure not only Second Overall but also the Blue Diamond Young Driver Award, new for 2019, which guarantees him free entry into each round of the Speed Championship 2020. Also new for this year is the Overall PVT Winner Award which goes to David Pryke in his 1936 Frazer Nash Shelsley gaining 62 points. The Longstone Speed Trophy is awarded to Dick Wilkinson for driving to an impressive seven events and accruing 66 points in total. Our Novice Award goes to Tiziana Mutschler who is new to the VSCC Speed Championship this season but has certainly made her mark in Class 1 making 29 points from only four events.

All of our events have been blessed with fantastic weather which has encouraged our talented competitors to push themselves to the limit, thus achieving no less than 27 Vintage and General Class records. Class 3 has dominated the records, the dynamic duo – Patrick Blakeney-Edwards and Eddie Williams driving trusty Frazer Nash Super Sports cars wracked up a massive 12 records between them! Not forgetting the momentous occasion at our opening round - Curborough where the speedy James Baxter smashed the overall record.

Huge congratulations to all of our 427 speed competitors for showing up, supporting and delivering such exciting, entertaining action and to all of our 319 loyal marshals and volunteers who make all this possible and keep us safe - Thank You! Thank you also to our trusty handicapper Mark Ballard who has allocated approximately 1450 handicaps and who is the brains behind the Speed Championship points. Big thank you to our Championship Sponsor Blue Diamond for their support this season and also Longstone Tyres for sponsoring the Longstone Trophy and also the Marshals Draw.

Thanks also go to David Furnell who will be handing over the reigns of Chair of the Speed Sub Committee, after seven years, to Kevin Morton to take on the challenges of the Championship for 2020.

Almost 100 competitors will travel north tomorrow to compete in Round 3 of the VSCC Speed Championship, which forms a majority of the Classic and Vintage event at the picturesque Harewood Hill Climb. A popular venue, where the track is visible from the paddock, is neatly nestled in the Yorkshire countryside.

The unofficial championship standings currently have Eddie Williams on top with Jeremy Flann and David Furnell in joint 2nd and 3rd. So there's much to play for over the weekend.

A glorious day at Wiscombe Park on Sunday which saw 111 pre and post war, vintage and Edwardian cars tackle the hill in front a large crowd of spectators. Fastest Time of the Day went to Ian Baxter in his 1937 Alta 61 I.S. with 47.54 seconds, whilst Charlie Martin in Justin Maeers' 1930/28 Morgan RIP Special took the honours for Fastest Vintage with 48.84 seconds (0.02 seconds shy of the class record). Eddie Williams, in Charles Gillett's 1929 Frazer Nash Super Sports, set a new Class 3 record and took the title of Fastest Young Driver with a time of 50.19. A day of vintage motoring at its best!
