Castle Combe to run Open Single-seater contest at final CCRC meeting of the season

The Castle Combe Racing Club is set to run an allcomers Open Single-seater race for the first time at the end of the 2018 season.

The race will form part of the CCRC Finals meeting on September 15 and will be run over 15 minutes with the grid set by a qualifying session of the same length.

The entrants will be split into four separate classes based purely on engine capacity. The competition is open to any single-seater machinery, with tyres also being unrestricted.

“The idea of the race is to include as many of the Combe Formula Fords with the Monoposto Racing Club cars that are running on the same day,” said club competitions director Steve Weston. “We hope to attract a decent number of entries.

“The mixed grid should make it an interesting opportunity for all the drivers to challenge people they may not usually race against for the final race of the year. It is a no pressure, fun event and all single-seater drivers and owners will be welcome to compete.”
