LATEST NEWS FROM THE BRSCC - Friday 15th February 2008
* BOOST FOR VSR SERIES
John Clark’s VSR Super Silhouette Championship is set for a huge boost this season following the news that they will be joining forces with the SCSA V8 cars to form the VSR Series. Combined with the resurgence of interest in the V8 and V6 super silhouettes and the already strong 2 Litre class this could prove to be the ultimate spaceframe series. This is a major shift for the ex-ASCAR racers as they move away from their oval racing origins to run on circuits such as Cadwell Park, Brands Hatch, Mallory Park and Snetterton. For more information contact John Clark on 01737 352567 or

* JIM CLARK FILM FESTIVAL
A film festival which celebrates the life of the twice World Champion racing driver, Jim Clark, will take place at Eynsham Hall, near Witney, Oxfordshire on February 23rd and 24th 2008.
Clark, who was a BRSCC member, scored his last race victory almost 40 years ago to the day of the event. The programme will include film shows and talks by people who knew Clark well or worked with him. The film shows will cover Clark’s exploits across the globe including some rare, never-seen-before footage. The talk session will feature former mechanics who worked with Clark and Ian Scott Watson, who was a big influence on Clark’s early career as his mentor and manager.
Other special guests attending the event will be Mrs Hazel Chapman, widow of Lotus founder Colin Chapman and her son Clive, who is managing director of Classic Team Lotus. Saturday’s proceedings will finish with a three-course dinner at Eynsham Hall, where guests will be able to mingle and dine with the speakers and like-minded enthusiasts. On Sunday, the talk and film programme will be repeated for those who can’t get tickets or who are unable to attend on the Saturday.
