This is work in progress as i will make new topics to cater for all. I would also welcome suggestions for what you would all like to see in there and i will do my best to make it happen.

Aswell as sponsoring the championship, Lee Smith (Managing Director for LINE-X) has arranged for 5 rouunds of the championship to be filmed and produced to be shown on motors TV Throughout 2010.

Saturday 28th November 2009 Photos from the 2009 Awards night can be found here. Provisional dates from the 2010 Calendar have been released and i will list them below, 2009 was a real good season but looking at 2010 it looks like it will be even bigger and better, We will once again be racing with the big trucks and also alongside Time attack (modified live) and club level racing. We will be making a return to Knockhill, Mallory Park which will be part of the oval championship, Mondello Park in Ireland, Donington Park and Snetterton. I will also be planning to try and broadcast at least 2 rounds live on the internet, something which i have not done before but i have what i need to make it happen, Unfortunately the view will be limited to the start finish straight but i am sure for the people who cannot make it that this will be better that nothing so watch this space for further details. I will add the 2010 race dates below instead of the race dates page as this years website is going to be archived as i am currently designing the 2010 site and this site will be archived into the new one so we dont lose any results or pictures, The new site will still be www.smithmotorsport.co.uk 10-11 April Rockingham 17-18 April Brands Hatch 15-16 May Knockhill 30-31 May Rockingham 13 June Mallory Park 3-4 July Rockingham 17-18 July Mondello Park 7-8 August Thruxton 14-15 August Pembrey 4-5 September Donington Park 11-12 September Rockingham 10 October Snetterton 30-31 October Brands Hatch

Saturday 18th July 2009 Todays qualifying results are now online and can be viewed on the race dates page. Saturday 4th July 2009 After receiving the latest News Letter it would appear provisionally that Rockingham Rounds are going to be spread over 2 days again ie Qualifying Saturday and 2 races on Sunday. This makes it so much easier for the teams as opposed to trying to squeeze it all into the 1 day. Thursday 25th June 2009 This post is a little late but a couple of weeks ago our very own crew chief, Steven Fishburn started his racing career in briSCA F2, He raced on the Saturday at Birmingham where he managed to get a 10th place and get through to the final and finishing all of his other races without damage, then on the Sunday he raced at Hednesford where once again he finished all of his races without damage. As the weekend went on and Steven grew more confident with the car he started to get quicker so i think with more seat time he will be starting to bring his own Trophy's home.

This is going to be a very big weekend and is expected to attract very large crowds, And if that was not enough it will be the first time that a new format is tried. This will consist of two heats and a grand final, all 3 races are championship rounds. This like all other meetings is going to be a meeting surely not to be missed.

Thursday 12th February 2009 It has been announced today that the 2009 calendar has been revised once again, The rounds scheduled to take place at Croft on the 4th and the 5th of May have been cancelled due to circumstances which have been well publicised in the national press and various motorsport publications. The scheduled rounds have been replaced and will now take place on the 16th and 17th of May at Silverstone. The race dates page has been updated to reflect this.
Friday 16th January 2009 It was announced today that the 2009 calendar has been revised, So the August Rockingham date has now been moved to the final weekend in May. This is better for the teams as the original calendar meant there was only one week for the teams to switch from road race spec to oval spec. Our Race Dates page has been updated to reflect the change.
Monday 06th January 2009 We have now added a blog to the website so that you can follow our progress as we build our 2nd Truck from scratch, This will be regularly updated with reports of what has been happening and including pictures of the work in progress.
Monday 22nd December 2008 Following a Drivers Meeting on Sunday 21st December 2008 at the Holiday Inn in Corby there have been a number of changes announced which we will bring to you here, There are 2 Championships for 2009, The Oval Championship and the Overall Championship. Qualifying format has now changed and will now be in the format of One qualifying session split into 2 sections, In the first section the 10 fastest go onto the grid for the first race in the reverse order they qualified then in the second section of qualifying the same format applies but is applied to the second race.The change to the second section of qualifying will be signaled by a union jack flag shown from the starting gantry. The Championship from 2009 will be operating a success ballast system, The system will be applied to the first three posistions in each race, 1st posistion adds 30kg of ballast, 2nd adds 20kg and 3rd adds 10kg of ballast. it is decreased in increments of 10kg each time a truck carrying the ballast finishes outside of the top 3. Also there is the facility to run 2 sprint races and a feature race at 2 venue's in 2009, 1 Road Course and 1 at Rockingham. The Pickup's will also be supporting the British Truck Racing Association at 4 events in 2009 |
