The Roger Albert Clark

Well what an RAC that was! Entries seemed down on last year but less retirements meant there were still plenty of lovely cars and committed drivers to enjoy.Epic battle between Bannister who had been lent a complying post historic Mk2 by Steve Perez and Jimmy Mcrae with both drivers on the limit ( and sometimes over it ).What about that Irishman McCormack , after taking a maximum in Yorkshire he fought back to finish fourth with some of the wildest driving I have seen for a long time.Would he have won if he had not gone on day 1? Hope he enters and gets a clean run next year.Pity the Stratos went out so early , was looking forward to the sound and spectacle of that classic.
