Please note this meeting is being promoted by the BriSCA Management Board BriSCA F1, BriSCA F2 and National Ministox, and premeeting BTCC drivers race BriSCA F1 Stock Cars AS SEEN ON TOP GEAR BBC 1 Flushed with the enthusiasm from 'our' Freddie on Top Gear Sunday and a fantastic feature on the sport, the BMB presents the 2022 traditional 'end of season BIG GO SHOW! GALA NIGHT - BOOKINGS STILL OPEN A no nonsense end of season great night out at the funcoasts iconic 'Skeg Vegas'! Skegness has enjoyed an acclaimed and stellar year of action and the BriSCA end of season event should prove no different! Sun, Sea, Skegness and Stock Car Racing - a perfect combo and a night where you can join the stars and get up close to the cars and create memories with a pit area 'walkabout' The night features a great 14 race programme with, as of Monday 14th approaching mid 30's BriSCA F1 cars, mid forties grids for BriSCA F2 and National Ministox. Gates open at 2.pm for spectators and, plenty going in with practice for all formulae up to 4.30.pm and then Pre event, we have something completely different as we welcome many of the top names from the British Tour Car Championship for a special 'clash' of the tin top titans as they aim to take in the full contact and sensory vibes of BriSCA F1 Stock Car racing, see Matt James preview below. BriSCA F1 wise! The main feature of the night will as usual be the established Under 25's Championship which again is well supported and a 'must win' for the CV and never disappoints before we move on to a 2/3rds format BriSCA F1 session which ends the season with the F1 Gala Night Grand Final to round off what has been a great season. Legendary driver and now promoter of Skeg Vegas, Rob Speak returns to the track for - and in his words 'some fun' and undoubtedly will be in the mix. Hot on the heels of Freddie behind the wheel of an F1 - A BriSCA Warm welcome to BTCC drivers Matt James writes... Paul O’Neill has a lot to answer for. I know that is a very general statement that could relate to anything in his life but, over the last couple of weeks, he has put himself right in the firing line with some tweets – and now he has literally put himself in the firing line… The ITV4 British Touring Car Championship pundit and commentator (and former BTCC race winner) was bowled over by a recent trip to a BriSCA F1 meeting. He really shouldn’t have been: I have been telling the former Motorsport News track tester about the appeal of short oval racing for years. Indeed, we once went to Wimbledon Stadium to watch some close-quarter action. He turned to me and said: “Mate, this is like prison rules…” After his recent trip to King’s Lynn to watch BriSCA F1 with his pal Ryan Bensley, O’Neill (as is his hobby) took to social media to share his admiration for the sport and its drivers. The snowball started gathering momentum there. A few social media replies and some cheeky text messages later and we have the first BriSCA F1 Invitational BTCC race, which will take place at Skegness on Saturday evening. Huge credit must go to the BriSCA F1 fraternity, and particularly to BriSCA F1 racer Paul Hines. Regular drivers are willingly giving up their machines to stars of the British Touring Car Championship to put on a demonstration race ahead of the Gala Night at the Lincolnshire track (I use the word ‘demonstration’ advisedly). Former MN editor, BriSCA F1 nut and author Neil Randon has generously given up his time too to help make this happen. This Saturday night, the stars will assemble in Skegness. Anyone who has ever tried to organise racing drivers to get to a certain point at a certain time knows full well that it is usually like trying to herd cats. But, this time, there has been a genuine willingness to make this happen from all involved and, dare I say it, a keenness to get a few scores settled. Who would pitch five-time 2022 race winner Josh Cook against the Jack Sears Trophy champion Bobby Thompson, for example? Who would let the hugely competitive Aiden Moffat loose up against Dan Rowbottom? Would Dexter Patterson, Carl Boardley and Dan Welch have a score to settle with Rick Parfitt? And what drama can Ricky Collard and Ryan Bensley himself cause? I have been lucky enough to have been part of a WhatsApp group to get the ball rolling between the drivers and the organisers, and the banter between the competitors has been hilarious. I won’t spill any secrets but, if I was Paul O’Neill, I would be booking the next week off work to recover. I hope he knows a chiropractor. What this whole event is about is trying to tell the wider world just how good BriSCA F1 stock car racing is. It can seem like an anathema to those who regularly follow the over-regulated world of circuit racing. Contact (within limits) is allowed in BriSCA F1, and it is a tactic that many of the leading drivers have down to a fine art. But it misses the point: there is huge skill in controlling a 700bhp V8 monster around such tight confines, knowing all the time that a rival who is close behind could follow you in (ie: use his bumper to get you out of the way) at any time. It is like a high-powered, gorgeous-sounding, octane-fuelled game of chess. The BTCC happens 10 times a year. BriSCA F1 stock cars are performing virtually every weekend, and most probably within easy reach… It is not a simple form of motorsport to master and the regulars are at the very top of their games. Our BTCC invitational drivers are, however, not. Who will be the bravest? Who will be out to make their mark? It doesn’t really matter: all of them will climb out of the cars with a huge smile on their faces and, hopefully, those who are watching will realise just what a great sport BriSCA F1 is. That is a win for everyone. Matt James – Editor, Motorsport News
