LMC Speed Championship is supported by interconnect/it

Anglesey Sprints, 29th & 30th May – Cancelled

Longton DMC has announced that due to the Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the Welsh Assembly not having been relaxed sufficiently, it will not be possible to run the Anglesey Sprint weekend on 29th & 30th May. This means we have lost rounds 5 & 6 of the LMC Speed Championship.

There does not appear to be any possibility of finding replacement events so the Championship will now consist of 21 rounds. Let’s all hope that the remaining events can be run as intended.

Anglesey Sprints, 1st & 2nd May – Cancelled

MGCC informs us that it has cancelled the 1^st and 2^nd May Anglesey Sprints because the Welsh Government “road map” published 19/3/2021 gives no hope of sufficient relaxing of rules by then. This means we have lost rounds 2 & 3 of the LMC Speed Championship.
We are negotiating for replacement round(s)  and will announce any changes here.

Update: 23/3/21 – Events added to Calendar:

29th August: Harewood Hillclimb : BARC
30th  August: Olivers Mount Hillclimb: Longton

page updated 18/5/2021

It appears that competitors can’t wait to get their entries in for this year’s sprints and hillclimbs!

In the first 3 weeks, Liverpool MC received over 150 entries for its Aintree and Barbon events.

Longton is reporting similar interest with over 50% of the capacity of its May Blyton weekend being booked in the first 24 hours.

So, if there’s an event in which you particularly want to take part, don’t be disappointed, get your entry in without delay!

Announcement: 19/6/2020 by Sean Robertson, LMC Championship Coordinator

18 of the 24 rounds of the LMC Speed Championship have now been cancelled due to Covid-19. As a result, it simply isn’t viable to continue the Championship this year. We feel we have no option but to postpone the entire Championship until 2021 when we hope events will resume.

I am contacting all registered contenders to advise that it is my intention to carry forward your registration to the 2021 Championship, but if that is not convenient to you please let me know and I will arrange for your entry fee to be refunded.

If you are content to carry forward your registration to next year you do not need to do anything. Once the 2021 Regulations are confirmed in the new year, I will be in touch to ensure your contact details, car details and class entry are still correct.

At the present time, the following events remain scheduled, so hopefully, despite not being part of a Championship, we may yet see some wheels turning this year.

Once again, my sincere apologies for having to relay more bad news to add to the long list of disappointments this year has brought to all of us.

Stay safe and well and I hope to see you soon.

Sean Robertson, 19/6/2020

UPDATE: 29/7/2020:

The following events have also been cancelled

9 Aug – Curborough Sprint – Mid-Cheshire
6 Sep – Three Sisters Sprint – Longton
3 Oct – Anglesey Sprint – Longton
4 Oct – Anglesey Sprint – Longton

Unfortunately, nearly two-thirds of the events that were rounds of the 2020 LMC Speed Championship have been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Some have been lost during the blanket cessation of motorsport up to 30th June, others have been cancelled due to venues no longer being available or due to organisers deciding that they are unable to run the events whilst keeping safe all those involved.

See the Championship Calendar page for details of the events affected.

As a result, we are reviewing the prospect of running the Championship with a drastically reduced number of rounds and will make a further announcement before motorsport recommences on 4th July.

In the meantime, stay safe everyone.

2019 Division 1 Awards List

2019 Division 2 Awards List

Thank you for taking part in the Championship this year, and for your patience whilst we finalised the results. Details of an awards presentation event will be announced shortly.

I’m now retiring from running the Championship and want to thank everyone for their support over the past 15 years. Best wishes to all; I hope you continue to enjoy your motorsport.

Kind regards

Ron
Championship Co-ordinator

Apologies for the delay in publishing the 2019 final results and awards lists. Over the past couple of years, Ron has found that running the championship has become increasingly challenging but, not wishing to let everyone down, he has valiantly battled on. After 15 years at the helm, it is with great regret that Ron has now decided the time has come to pass on the role of Championship Coordinator to another volunteer.
Sean Robertson is your new Coordinator and his contact details will be published in the 2020 regulations.

It’s fair to say that without Ron, the Championship simply wouldn’t have become the success that it is today.
I’m sure you will join with me in thanking Ron for the incredible amount of work he put into setting up and running the Championship over the past 15 years and we wish him all the very best for the future.

John Harden,
Chairman, Liverpool Motor Club

Many thanks for all the good wishes.

Finally have full use of both hands.

Then contracted a rather nasty Cold virus, (unfortunately the flue vaccine does not work on the cold virus), which is doing the rounds laid me low for a further 3 weeks.

Now I have to catch up with everything outstanding.

Ron
