The ruggedly picturesque circuit at Ty Croes on Anglesey was the venue for a weekend of sprinting with the Porsche Club Speed Championship. This was a two-round double header which, considering the relative remoteness of this circuit, was very well attended by competitors who are very enthusiastic about this challenging but rewarding track. Despite a wet May Bank holiday just about everywhere else, Ty Croes was blessed with cold but dry and sunny weather which, crucially, offered very stable conditions for two days of strong and consistent competition between sixteen Porsche Club GB drivers.

Class P1 saw four drivers at Anglesey with former competitor Peter Turnbull making a return to the Speed Championship in a modified 996 previously run by David Pattison and Nick Taylor. Running on slicks with a 2% penalty Peter finished the day in third place with 124.22 seconds. Second place in P1 on Saturday was taken by Karl Lupton (944) driving one of the two supercharged, four cylinder Porsches in this competition. Despite a spin in his final run, Karl still finished with a 1.31 second advantage over Peter for second place in 122.91 seconds. It was a series of incredibly consistent timed runs that won P1 for Simon Wilson (supercharged 924). Running his P2 car on slicks put Simon in P1 for 2010 with a class win in his first outing with a 122.02 second finish. Three drivers competed in Class P2 with John Biddulph (911 3.2 Carrera) finishing the day in third place after a spin in his final run. John’s first timed run however earned him a quickest time of 128.37 seconds. P2 offered up more of the father and son rivalry we saw at Croft with Geraint and Ben Evans battling for second and first spot. Although they had to contend with some braking problems with their shared 3.2 911 they both put in some fine times with Geraint having to eventually concede and finish with a 126.60 second quickest time. Ben’s final run put the class win beyond any doubt with an impressive 2.66 second advantage over Geraint to finish in 123.94.

Two drivers entered Class P3 at Anglesey with David Strange driving his nicely modified 911 ‘S’ Sport replica to second place in 131.38 seconds while Tim Barber (911SC) had a drama free day and produced a series of consistent times for a very healthy margin of 3.25 seconds and first place in 128.13 seconds. There was a strong turnout of Class P4 cars at Anglesey with seven drivers entered. Just back from a stint in hot climes, Ray Bignell (924S) endured the bracing coastal weather at Anglesey to produce a third place time of 135.82 seconds. If consistency was the only objective then Simon Butterworth (924S) would have been outright winner with a series of four individual runs that were all completed with a variation of just 0.68 seconds between the slowest and fastest time. The fastest of these runs did win him second place in P4, however, with a time of 131.07 seconds. Consistency was also a feature of Graham Rose’s (924S) afternoon as he methodically cut his timed runs down to a class winning 128.51 seconds.

Consistency was the dominant feature of Sunday’s competition also with, again, a remarkable closeness in the driver’s individual times. In Class P4, however, Ben Butterworth put Saturday’s experience to good use and cut his sprints down to a fastest time of 134.74 seconds for a well-earned third place. Driving the 924S he shares with son Ben, Simon Butterworth’s uncannily close times continued. Finishing in second place once again, his fastest time of 131.63 was just 0.56 seconds over his fastest time on Saturday. Graham Rose had another good day at Anglesey with, perhaps, an even more remarkably close time to finish in first place in 128.33 seconds, just 0.18 seconds off his fastest time on Saturday. There was no reversal of the class positions in Class P3 with David Strange once again taking second place with a fastest time of 132.34 seconds while Tim Barber was fractionally slower on Sunday with his first run of the day also being his fastest with a time of 129.24 seconds.

John Biddulph had a minor spin early in the day in Class P2 but held his nerve and improved his times with a third place finish and a final fastest time of 128.34 seconds, which was just 0.03 seconds quicker than Saturday’s time. Geraint Evans managed to close the gap with son Ben on Sunday but it still wasn’t quite enough to take class win and his fastest time for second place was 125.46 seconds. Ben Evans produced another series of very quick times on Sunday for a final, class winning time of 123.73 seconds and a 1.73 second margin over Geraint. In Class P1 Karl Lupton has not had much good luck at Anglesey with mechanical problems last year and a failing clutch this time around. It held out long enough for Karl to secure some points on Sunday however and finish in third place with 136.77 seconds. After his first run Peter Turnbull settled down and produced three very close times for a final, fastest time for second place in 124.79 seconds. Despite dealing with a new tyre set up in his first outing of the year Simon Wilson still managed to produce the fastest times of the Porsches at Anglesey. He must have got something right as he improved his class winning time from Saturday, albeit by just 0.18 seconds. His fastest time for class win on Sunday was 121.84 seconds for an excellent double class win at Anglesey.

He must have got something right as he improved his class winning time from Saturday, albeit by just 0.18 seconds. His fastest time for class win on Sunday was 121.84 seconds for an excellent double class win at Anglesey.
The ruggedly picturesque circuit at Ty Croes on Anglesey was the venue for a weekend of sprinting with the Porsche Club Speed Championship. This was a two-round double header which, considering the relative remoteness of this circuit, was very well attended by competitors who are very enthusiastic about this challenging but rewarding track. Despite a wet May Bank holiday just about everywhere else, Ty Croes was blessed with cold but dry and sunny weather which, crucially, offered very stable conditions for two days of strong and consistent competition between sixteen Porsche Club GB drivers.

Class P1 saw four drivers at Anglesey with former competitor Peter Turnbull making a return to the Speed Championship in a modified 996 previously run by David Pattison and Nick Taylor. Running on slicks with a 2% penalty Peter finished the day in third place with 124.22 seconds. Second place in P1 on Saturday was taken by Karl Lupton (944) driving one of the two supercharged, four cylinder Porsches in this competition. Despite a spin in his final run, Karl still finished with a 1.31 second advantage over Peter for second place in 122.91 seconds. It was a series of incredibly consistent timed runs that won P1 for Simon Wilson (supercharged 924). Running his P2 car on slicks put Simon in P1 for 2010 with a class win in his first outing with a 122.02 second finish. Three drivers competed in Class P2 with John Biddulph (911 3.2 Carrera) finishing the day in third place after a spin in his final run. John’s first timed run however earned him a quickest time of 128.37 seconds. P2 offered up more of the father and son rivalry we saw at Croft with Geraint and Ben Evans battling for second and first spot. Although they had to contend with some braking problems with their shared 3.2 911 they both put in some fine times with Geraint having to eventually concede and finish with a 126.60 second quickest time. Ben’s final run put the class win beyond any doubt with an impressive 2.66 second advantage over Geraint to finish in 123.94.

Two drivers entered Class P3 at Anglesey with David Strange driving his nicely modified 911 ‘S’ Sport replica to second place in 131.38 seconds while Tim Barber (911SC) had a drama free day and produced a series of consistent times for a very healthy margin of 3.25 seconds and first place in 128.13 seconds. There was a strong turnout of Class P4 cars at Anglesey with seven drivers entered. Just back from a stint in hot climes, Ray Bignell (924S) endured the bracing coastal weather at Anglesey to produce a third place time of 135.82 seconds. If consistency was the only objective then Simon Butterworth (924S) would have been outright winner with a series of four individual runs that were all completed with a variation of just 0.68 seconds between the slowest and fastest time. The fastest of these runs did win him second place in P4, however, with a time of 131.07 seconds. Consistency was also a feature of Graham Rose’s (924S) afternoon as he methodically cut his timed runs down to a class winning 128.51 seconds.

Consistency was the dominant feature of Sunday’s competition also with, again, a remarkable closeness in the driver’s individual times. In Class P4, however, Ben Butterworth put Saturday’s experience to good use and cut his sprints down to a fastest time of 134.74 seconds for a well-earned third place. Driving the 924S he shares with son Ben, Simon Butterworth’s uncannily close times continued. Finishing in second place once again, his fastest time of 131.63 was just 0.56 seconds over his fastest time on Saturday. Graham Rose had another good day at Anglesey with, perhaps, an even more remarkably close time to finish in first place in 128.33 seconds, just 0.18 seconds off his fastest time on Saturday. There was no reversal of the class positions in Class P3 with David Strange once again taking second place with a fastest time of 132.34 seconds while Tim Barber was fractionally slower on Sunday with his first run of the day also being his fastest with a time of 129.24 seconds.

John Biddulph had a minor spin early in the day in Class P2 but held his nerve and improved his times with a third place finish and a final fastest time of 128.34 seconds, which was just 0.03 seconds quicker than Saturday’s time. Geraint Evans managed to close the gap with son Ben on Sunday but it still wasn’t quite enough to take class win and his fastest time for second place was 125.46 seconds. Ben Evans produced another series of very quick times on Sunday for a final, class winning time of 123.73 seconds and a 1.73 second margin over Geraint. In Class P1 Karl Lupton has not had much good luck at Anglesey with mechanical problems last year and a failing clutch this time around. It held out long enough for Karl to secure some points on Sunday however and finish in third place with 136.77 seconds. After his first run Peter Turnbull settled down and produced three very close times for a final, fastest time for second place in 124.79 seconds.

It held out long enough for Karl to secure some points on Sunday however and finish in third place with 136.77 seconds. After his first run Peter Turnbull settled down and produced three very close times for a final, fastest time for second place in 124.79 seconds. Despite dealing with a new tyre set up in his first outing of the year Simon Wilson still managed to produce the fastest times of the Porsches at Anglesey. He must have got something right as he improved his class winning time from Saturday, albeit by just 0.18 seconds. His fastest time for class win on Sunday was 121.84 seconds for an excellent double class win at Anglesey.
The ruggedly picturesque circuit at Ty Croes on Anglesey was the venue for a weekend of sprinting with the Porsche Club Speed Championship. This was a two-round double header which, considering the relative remoteness of this circuit, was very well attended by competitors who are very enthusiastic about this challenging but rewarding track. Despite a wet May Bank holiday just about everywhere else, Ty Croes was blessed with cold but dry and sunny weather which, crucially, offered very stable conditions for two days of strong and consistent competition between sixteen Porsche Club GB drivers.

Class P1 saw four drivers at Anglesey with former competitor Peter Turnbull making a return to the Speed Championship in a modified 996 previously run by David Pattison and Nick Taylor. Running on slicks with a 2% penalty Peter finished the day in third place with 124.22 seconds. Second place in P1 on Saturday was taken by Karl Lupton (944) driving one of the two supercharged, four cylinder Porsches in this competition. Despite a spin in his final run, Karl still finished with a 1.31 second advantage over Peter for second place in 122.91 seconds. It was a series of incredibly consistent timed runs that won P1 for Simon Wilson (supercharged 924). Running his P2 car on slicks put Simon in P1 for 2010 with a class win in his first outing with a 122.02 second finish. Three drivers competed in Class P2 with John Biddulph (911 3.2 Carrera) finishing the day in third place after a spin in his final run. John’s first timed run however earned him a quickest time of 128.37 seconds. P2 offered up more of the father and son rivalry we saw at Croft with Geraint and Ben Evans battling for second and first spot. Although they had to contend with some braking problems with their shared 3.2 911 they both put in some fine times with Geraint having to eventually concede and finish with a 126.60 second quickest time. Ben’s final run put the class win beyond any doubt with an impressive 2.66 second advantage over Geraint to finish in 123.94.

Two drivers entered Class P3 at Anglesey with David Strange driving his nicely modified 911 ‘S’ Sport replica to second place in 131.38 seconds while Tim Barber (911SC) had a drama free day and produced a series of consistent times for a very healthy margin of 3.25 seconds and first place in 128.13 seconds. There was a strong turnout of Class P4 cars at Anglesey with seven drivers entered. Just back from a stint in hot climes, Ray Bignell (924S) endured the bracing coastal weather at Anglesey to produce a third place time of 135.82 seconds. If consistency was the only objective then Simon Butterworth (924S) would have been outright winner with a series of four individual runs that were all completed with a variation of just 0.68 seconds between the slowest and fastest time. The fastest of these runs did win him second place in P4, however, with a time of 131.07 seconds. Consistency was also a feature of Graham Rose’s (924S) afternoon as he methodically cut his timed runs down to a class winning 128.51 seconds.

Consistency was the dominant feature of Sunday’s competition also with, again, a remarkable closeness in the driver’s individual times. In Class P4, however, Ben Butterworth put Saturday’s experience to good use and cut his sprints down to a fastest time of 134.74 seconds for a well-earned third place. Driving the 924S he shares with son Ben, Simon Butterworth’s uncannily close times continued. Finishing in second place once again, his fastest time of 131.63 was just 0.56 seconds over his fastest time on Saturday. Graham Rose had another good day at Anglesey with, perhaps, an even more remarkably close time to finish in first place in 128.33 seconds, just 0.18 seconds off his fastest time on Saturday. There was no reversal of the class positions in Class P3 with David Strange once again taking second place with a fastest time of 132.34 seconds while Tim Barber was fractionally slower on Sunday with his first run of the day also being his fastest with a time of 129.24 seconds.

John Biddulph had a minor spin early in the day in Class P2 but held his nerve and improved his times with a third place finish and a final fastest time of 128.34 seconds, which was just 0.03 seconds quicker than Saturday’s time. Geraint Evans managed to close the gap with son Ben on Sunday but it still wasn’t quite enough to take class win and his fastest time for second place was 125.46 seconds. Ben Evans produced another series of very quick times on Sunday for a final, class winning time of 123.73 seconds and a 1.73 second margin over Geraint.

Geraint Evans managed to close the gap with son Ben on Sunday but it still wasn’t quite enough to take class win and his fastest time for second place was 125.46 seconds. Ben Evans produced another series of very quick times on Sunday for a final, class winning time of 123.73 seconds and a 1.73 second margin over Geraint. In Class P1 Karl Lupton has not had much good luck at Anglesey with mechanical problems last year and a failing clutch this time around. It held out long enough for Karl to secure some points on Sunday however and finish in third place with 136.77 seconds. After his first run Peter Turnbull settled down and produced three very close times for a final, fastest time for second place in 124.79 seconds. Despite dealing with a new tyre set up in his first outing of the year Simon Wilson still managed to produce the fastest times of the Porsches at Anglesey. He must have got something right as he improved his class winning time from Saturday, albeit by just 0.18 seconds. His fastest time for class win on Sunday was 121.84 seconds for an excellent double class win at Anglesey.
The ruggedly picturesque circuit at Ty Croes on Anglesey was the venue for a weekend of sprinting with the Porsche Club Speed Championship. This was a two-round double header which, considering the relative remoteness of this circuit, was very well attended by competitors who are very enthusiastic about this challenging but rewarding track. Despite a wet May Bank holiday just about everywhere else, Ty Croes was blessed with cold but dry and sunny weather which, crucially, offered very stable conditions for two days of strong and consistent competition between sixteen Porsche Club GB drivers.

Class P1 saw four drivers at Anglesey with former competitor Peter Turnbull making a return to the Speed Championship in a modified 996 previously run by David Pattison and Nick Taylor. Running on slicks with a 2% penalty Peter finished the day in third place with 124.22 seconds. Second place in P1 on Saturday was taken by Karl Lupton (944) driving one of the two supercharged, four cylinder Porsches in this competition. Despite a spin in his final run, Karl still finished with a 1.31 second advantage over Peter for second place in 122.91 seconds. It was a series of incredibly consistent timed runs that won P1 for Simon Wilson (supercharged 924). Running his P2 car on slicks put Simon in P1 for 2010 with a class win in his first outing with a 122.02 second finish. Three drivers competed in Class P2 with John Biddulph (911 3.2 Carrera) finishing the day in third place after a spin in his final run. John’s first timed run however earned him a quickest time of 128.37 seconds. P2 offered up more of the father and son rivalry we saw at Croft with Geraint and Ben Evans battling for second and first spot. Although they had to contend with some braking problems with their shared 3.2 911 they both put in some fine times with Geraint having to eventually concede and finish with a 126.60 second quickest time. Ben’s final run put the class win beyond any doubt with an impressive 2.66 second advantage over Geraint to finish in 123.94.

Two drivers entered Class P3 at Anglesey with David Strange driving his nicely modified 911 ‘S’ Sport replica to second place in 131.38 seconds while Tim Barber (911SC) had a drama free day and produced a series of consistent times for a very healthy margin of 3.25 seconds and first place in 128.13 seconds. There was a strong turnout of Class P4 cars at Anglesey with seven drivers entered. Just back from a stint in hot climes, Ray Bignell (924S) endured the bracing coastal weather at Anglesey to produce a third place time of 135.82 seconds. If consistency was the only objective then Simon Butterworth (924S) would have been outright winner with a series of four individual runs that were all completed with a variation of just 0.68 seconds between the slowest and fastest time. The fastest of these runs did win him second place in P4, however, with a time of 131.07 seconds. Consistency was also a feature of Graham Rose’s (924S) afternoon as he methodically cut his timed runs down to a class winning 128.51 seconds.

Consistency was the dominant feature of Sunday’s competition also with, again, a remarkable closeness in the driver’s individual times. In Class P4, however, Ben Butterworth put Saturday’s experience to good use and cut his sprints down to a fastest time of 134.74 seconds for a well-earned third place. Driving the 924S he shares with son Ben, Simon Butterworth’s uncannily close times continued. Finishing in second place once again, his fastest time of 131.63 was just 0.56 seconds over his fastest time on Saturday. Graham Rose had another good day at Anglesey with, perhaps, an even more remarkably close time to finish in first place in 128.33 seconds, just 0.18 seconds off his fastest time on Saturday.
