Crossword competition

Welcome to the first Classic Racer crossword, where you can win some terrific prizes and prove to the rest of the world that you really do know your racing stuff. Which is a good thing, after all.

New to Classic Racer, we begin our great CR crossword competition. There’s great prizes to win and some lovely questions to answer. You need to know your racing world to be in with a shot at answering these questions and winning something very nice indeed.

So here we go then, time to settle down and get stuck in to the CR crossword. Fill in all the answers and include your details on the form and send it to Classic Racer Towers. Get it to us by 9am, March 25, 2019 and if correct your entry will go into the upturned helmet from where two winning entries will be drawn by a blindfolded Malc, after he’s written something about racing at the Isle of Man TT races. Probably. The first entrant out of the lid-of-fun will win two wonderful pieces of artwork by top motorsport artist Mick Craven, worth £340. The second correct entry drawn out at random will receive a year’s subscription to Classic Racer. Mick started seriously painting two decades ago, but it was after watching the likes of Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini and others on The Island in the 1960s that the road racing heroes really became the focus of his art. The results are breathtaking and you can see more examples of his work at his website www.mickcravenart.co.uk Now, it’s worth saying that if you don’t want to cut up your issue of Classic Racer then we will accept a photocopy of the completed crossword and the completed form, so there’s no need to attack the page with a pair of scissors if you don’t want to. Save that for Tony’s column! We will print the answers to this issue’s crossword in the next edition of Classic Racer.
