Knighter wins in France, tops E2 on day two

At the end of what has been a hugely challenging season David Knight has claimed victory at the final round of the '09 World Enduro Championship, the GP of France staged in St Flour. Proving that he is without question still one of the world's very best enduro racers, Knighter battled hard during both days to claim the runner-up spot in the E2 class on day one before topping the E2 podium on day two aboard his 450cc Kawasaki Superbike Racing Team machine - Details

Swindon & District MCC
held their annual Foxwell Enduro in the picturesque grounds of Lord Bathursts private estate, Cirencester Park today. Held as a novice event for Clubman and Sportsman, the 14.5 mile loop had long fire break tracks, gnarly wooded sections, bomb holes and the odd watery splash and ruts. Two timed special tests held on the 2nd and 3rd laps helped differentiate the placings, as though the timings were tighter than last year they only troubled a few. That said, most riders would agree that you needed to crack on to stay on time on the latter laps. As the timing was done electronically, the special test times were available halfway through the event and the full provisional events available at www.sdmcc.org.uk  now. Congratulations to the winners of each class Glyn Thomas Clubman E1 and Overall Winner, Steve Biddle Clubman E2 , Terry Beecham Clubman E3 and Felix Upton Sportsman."
SPEA FIM Trial World Championship (Outdoor) Isola 2000, France - Dougie Lampkin's report


CHEC @ Lane End

The Chiltern Hills Enduro Club (CHEC) bounced back on the 6th of September with a cracking nine mile course laid out at Lane End. As well as the well renowned woods, which contain some of the racers favourites like ‘the bomb hole’ and several steep flinty climbs, the club also had access to the recently harvested crop fields. This meant that some high speed action could be added to the tight woodland going. So it was a race of two half’s, tight woods for the smaller and lighter 2T’s and fast opening going for the big 4T’s to claw back some time.

There was a good turnout for the club's comeback race, and once again there has been nothing but praise for the track layout and organisation.

Returning to a more novice friendly culture, the riders were sent on their way in number sequence - this sequence coming from order of registering and not the old championship standings.

After four hours of racing, Jack Turner came out on top in the overall standings, followed by Dan Heelas in second place. Jack was one of only five riders that managed to complete ten full laps in the allocated time and crucially was the only one not to score any penalties.

Yorkshire Enduro goes old school

After heavy rain in Cropton Forest during the week, the course was bound to be "challenging" for the ……120 riders filling the parc ferme on Sunday morning, but on the day the weather was kind and no more wet stuff fell.

The club had made a conscious decision to nip up the times this year, so that most riders in each class lost time on the course, hence the test was used only to split the tie breaks between riders who had lost the same time on the course. - Details
