SCD Club Team Championship  19 September


1/32   Nationals   2021

The 57th National Club Team Championship was run on Sunday 19th September.  A big thank you to sponsors SCD whose founder the late Chas Keeling was at the very first championships in 1964.   Thanks to Kev Gray for coming out of retirement to race control this event for us.

Eight teams of 4 drivers raced group 12 powered sports cars for 3 hours - 22 ½ minutes on each lane.

Luton led the first segment with Steve Kearey’s 207 lap run but soon after hit car troubles leaving them running between 5th and 7th with a visibly slow motor.  
The North London N13 team took the lead by quarter distance, Rockingham were only one lap behind after Nick Clements turned in a 208 lap run.  GSR were in third 20 laps behind the leader.
By half distance a 208 lap run from Greg Harwood extended the London team’s lead to 26 laps from GSR and Rockingham both on the same lap.  
GSR’s Keith Gibson set the fastest segment of the day so far in segment 5 with 210 laps on the unpopular black lane.   At 3/4 distance North London were still 18 laps ahead of GSR with Rockingham a further 6 laps in arrears. The GSR car looked quicker than ever in Ross Grogan’s hands, and segments of 216 and 211 to take the lead in the final segment finally to win with 1635 laps.   North London N19 were second on 1624 which was 15 laps quicker than the 2019 winning distance.   Rockingham took 3
rd with Leicester  4th, Oaklands 5th, Luton 7 laps up on Oaklands with Coulsdon in 8th having retired  with a drastically slowing car during segment 7. Congratulations to GSR Racing, the first Area 8 team to win this event since Haydon in 1978.
