Champion Returns
We start with some great news this week. 2014 Champion James Bishop will return to defend his title in 2015. If last season is anything to go by we should be in for a very competitive fight for the Championship.
More welcome registrations this week include, Vincent Dubois, Barry McMahon & Andy Robinson in their Modified 156s plus 2009 Champion Paul Plant looking to mix it up in the Twin Spark Cup.
Please can all drivers looking to race in 2015 supply a transponder number at registration to avoid unnecessary admin for competitors and officials on race day. Also, if you already know which rounds you plan to compete in this year, please book them in advance using the BRSCC online entry system. No payment is needed up front, it just boosts the entries at an earlier stage which will enable us to gain a better spot in the paddock.

Imagine every racing game you’ve ever played and all the best bits are thrown into one. Project CARS certainly looks like it will be the closest game yet with another stunning video. No sign of any Alfas but you can’t have everything!
Bonus
Next time you’re at the fun fair, make sure you jump in one of these! An Alfetta bumper car. Marilyn certainly approves…
