Podcasts about britcar

Welcome to Lovecars On the Grid, the global motorsport podcast with Paul Woodman and Tiff Needell, as we dive into an adrenaline-fueled weekend of motor racing action where motorsport enthusiasts were treated to an array of exhilarating races across multiple continents. From MotoGP's prestigious event at Assen in Holland to the challenging WRC rally in Kenya, the IMSA sportscars, NASCAR, and Formula E battles in America, the progress of the F1 Academy at Zandvoort in Holland, and the riveting races at Silverstone featuring F4, Britcar, BEC, and Caterham championships The Cathedral of Speed, Assen, played host to a gripping round of the MotoGP championship. As riders battled for supremacy on the legendary Circuit, fans were treated to breathtaking overtakes and edge-of-the-seat action and finally a win for Britains Jake Denis! The World Rally Championship ventured into the rugged terrains of Kenya for a challenging event that tested drivers' skill and resilience. Amidst the breathtaking landscapes, competitors tackled treacherous off-road sections and showcased their mastery of high-speed rallying. It was Toyota top of the tree with Sébastien Ogier winning the epic African event ahead of team-mates Kalle Rovanperä, Elfyn Evans and Takamoto Katsuta. Across the pond, motorsport enthusiasts were spoiled for choice with a trio of thrilling events. The IMSA sportscars delivered high-speed battles, as renowned manufacturers and teams battled for supremacy on iconic American circuits. NASCAR showcased its captivating wheel-to-wheel racing, with drivers pushing their limits in a quest for victory and a win for the melon man. Formula E, the all-electric championship, impressed fans with its cutting-edge technology and fierce competition on urban street circuits, but is this real racing - or more "lift and coasting"? Returning to Holland, we shift our focus to the progress of the talented F1 Academy ladies at Zandvoort. These rising stars in the motorsport world demonstrated their skills as they honed their craft on the iconic Dutch circuit. Silverstone provided the stage for a captivating weekend of racing action. The F4 championship showcased the talents of young aspiring drivers, with wins for Coskun Irfan, Noah Lisle and James Piszcyk. While the Britcar championship captivated spectators with its endurance racing battles - and again - a very unlucky Jade Edwards, of BTCC fame - but the race was finally won by Alex Van Nederveen. The British Endurance Championship (BEC) pushed teams and drivers to their limits in grueling multi-hour races with 6 different classes, but an overall win for PB Racing in the R8 GT3, driven by Peter Erceg and Marcus Clutton. The Caterham championship thrilled fans with its intense battles on the GP track. Wins in Roadsport for Ed Cozzi and championship leader, Ben Timmons. It was a clean sweep in 270s with Fred Chiddicks sticking it on pole, and winning all 3 races. In 310s it was Germany 2-1 England - another win for Dominic Mansperger, also Harry Cook and Lars Hoffman.

The Densley Trophy Winner -  Claire Hedley Continuing to run Britcar, Claire played a critical role in securing British title status for the British Endurance Championship, which went on to enjoy a momentous inaugural year. The 2023 season is shaping up to be even bigger too with the introduction of the Britcar Prototype Cup alongside the Britcar Trophy and BEC positioning Britcar as a powerhouse of UK motorsport.

Chris Overend and James Whitley, driving the Team BRIT BMW 240i, are the 2022 Britcar Endurance Trophy champions, potentially the first all-disabled pairing to win a UK national championship. The title went down to the wire, with no definite resolution until the last of two races at the Donington finale, and runner-up is lone-driving teenager Charlie Hand, seven points adrift in the Westbourne Motors Renault Clio. The final step of the podium goes to Chandler Motorsport's Rhys Hurd and Harry Yardley-Rose, who tie with SVG G40 Cup driver Peter Dilnot on 311 points, but take third place by dint of five class wins against four. All four also claim their respective class titles, while the Class 1 crown goes to Mark Lee and Owen Hizzey in the SVG Ginetta G56A.

Jem Hepworth, 2020 Britcar champion, Praga driver and W Series tester joins us on Sim Sundays to talk about how she uses Sim Racing to prepare for races; her ambitions to get going with some iRacing; and she answers Danny Giusa's question from last week - "what are your pre-race quirks?" ... turns out there's a lot!

Claire Hedley - Britcar Championship Manager - BARC Awards 2022

Hello all!After a bit of an absence due to life unfortunately getting in the way, as well as some technical gremlins, we've regathered, regrouped and rebranded and we're BACK!!Just like anything not currently strapped down in the current storms battering the UK you also can't keep us down, and not only are we back bringing you all the British GT news, but we thought we'd also take the time to expand, so as suggested by our new name, we're covering even more! It does mean this first episode has been a long one, as we have ALL the news from the four championships we're now covering (British GT, International, GT Cup and Britcar) that's happened since our last episode, but this is a one off, and our new normal(!) format will be in place next from now. 

https://www.britcar-endurance.com/SILVERSTONE PLAYS HOST TO WEEKEND TO REMEMBER FOR BRITCAR AND CLASSIC TOURING CARSThe Britcar Endurance Championship delivered plenty of unmissable moments over the course of both days, especially in the Endurance class. On a weekend which saw the Praga category make its bow and make its presence known towards the sharp end of the field, nothing could stop the Lamborghini Huracan pairing of John Seale and Jamie Stanley from winning both encounters.On Sunday, Britcar's Trophy category took centre stage with a record entry to kick off its sophomore season. Whilst wheel-to-wheel action took place throughout the field, Woodrow Motorsport dominated proceedings out front as the BMW 1 Series duo of Simon Baker and Kevin Clarke powered their way to victory in both 50-minute races.
