Club country

Added: 20th June 2007

The BTRDA® Clubmans Rallycross Championship will once again support the BRC in 2007. Appearing at the BRC’s seven mainland events, the BTRDA® competitors trade the trip to Mondello Park for an event at Blyton.

The BTRDA® series also has an anniversary to celebrate this year, the championship first run 30 years ago in 1977 when Trevor Reeves was the young up and coming driver who topped the order. The championship has always been aimed at the clubman, although the definition of this competitor has changed several times down the years. Today the championship is not open to Supercars, but caters for all other classes and for drivers of up to four-star status. Drivers from the Stock Hatch category have won the title in each of the last two years, but both Rodney Green and current
champion Steve Heppenstall were run close by Junior racers. There’s little reason to suppose that the pattern will change this year, which leaves teenage Stock Hatch front runner Ash Simpson and Junior star Ben Rennison as favourites for the 2007 championship.
