Production

The Production Championship was held a Fylde Rugby Club, Lytham St Annes on 4th July. This is open to Clubman grade drivers with Falcon powered production cars.

The one minute qualifying for this and the Production challenge open to all grades of driver with super production cars was combined.  Drivers were seeded into 8x3 minute segmented heats. The best placed of the clubman runners was Nick Clements, who had very little practice after a delayed journey to the venue.   

Nick Clements emerged from the heats with 208 laps followed by Graham Thomas on 205, Richard Hills on 195 - see the Production Challenge report for the full scores.

Driver now had their cars back from parc ferme for maintenance, a couple changed motors, quite a few changed tyres although some found that wear was unexpectedly  low so continued with the same set.

The story of the final was that Nick Clements was just a little faster than Graham Thomas, and that added up to an almost identical result to the clubman saloon final in Edinburgh Nick won by 4 laps from Graham.   Mick Metcalfe’s motor had been going off at the end of the heats, the replacement proved better and helped him to third place ahead of Richard Hills and Steven Mavor.
