Weekend Review.........
This weekend WSC Motorsport Engineering were at Trac Mon in Anglesey competing in the 12hr Race of Remembrance in aid of Mission Motorsport.
This time we were not competing using our Toyota Aygos but in our freshly built BMW 330i running the number 100, as West Suffolk College celebrated 100 years in September, and what a first outing this turned out to be!!!!
During Thursday practice all was going well for around an hour until the clutch centre plates decided they didn't like each other...
Friday morning was then busy replacing the clutch as well as ironing out a few issues detected during testing, unfortunately while replacing the clutch other components also had a falling out with the car, Bromley Motorsport stepped in supplying the required additional parts. we managed to get the car race ready for qualifying however the new clutch was still giving issues as did one of the coolant hose couplings, this tied with a starting issue ended the qualifying session prematurely.
Not ideal but the drivers did manage to qualify in 25th position for the race.
Saturday morning meant once again that the clutch needed to be removed and another replacement ensued. Fingers crossed for the race.
The race started well with Ben Spencer taking the car from 25th to 15th within the first 7 laps, a few laps later the car had sprung a fuel leak, fuel leak resolved racing resumed. Then the car developed an intermittent misfire, both Andy and Haydn Payne battled through admirably.
Despite all of this though the car did complete the race albeit not where we would have liked. the drivers did an amazing job and persevered throughout driving what was undoubtably a difficult car, when Brady Po***ck crossed the finish line there was a clear sense of achievement and relief.
Being part of this event was emotional for all of the team and it was a fantastic atmosphere all weekend, the camaraderie of all the teams involved was clear to see as was the evidence of the importance of Mission Motorsport and what they are able to achieve.
We would like to thank all of our sponsors for their support enabling us to compete.
