The last round of the BRCA Clubman’s finished the season as it started with a very wet weekend at the popular Cotswold track. But unlike the first round it rained on both the practice Saturday and Sunday race day. Everyone still had five completely dry meetings in-between so a great seven round championship for the 230 competitors that raced over the six months. The organising club had 83 drivers practicing throughout the Saturday. There were a few car failures with water finding its way into the electrics, but most eventually overcame this with various ways of waterproofing their cars from boxes, conformer, plastidip and blue tack. There was the usual seven rounds of controlled practice in heat order which has become the norm now.
