Race and Track

Nick Cartwright’s racing exploits started in the mid nineties when he was persuaded by his friends Bob Houghton, Andrew Turner and the late Robin Mortimer, of MHT, to have a go in the European Ferrari 355 Challenge series.

He ran in this Championship for 2 years as well as competing in the Maranello UK Challenge Cup but unfortunately, due to pressures of work, this had to take a back seat.

Walking through the paddock at Donington in 2007, at a Pirelli Ferrari classic meeting, something stirred and we asked ourselves ‘ why aren’t we doing this again? Thus, we were back at Donington 6 months later with a 328 GTB at the ready but this time the seat would be taken by Nick’s eldest son Ben. 

We enjoyed this season so much that the following year Nick and 3rd son Jamie also joined the series to run 328 GTB’s. We have never looked back!

Festival Italia – Brands Hatch

We were treated to a glorious day for the Festival Italia event at Brands Hatch on the 14th of August. Amongst many of the attractions the event hosted rounds 7 and 8 of the Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic, the 2nd year the Ferrari owners club have supported the event. The two 20 minute races were run on the Indy circuit which makes for great spectating. An impressive entry of 24 cars were entered for both 20 minute races. Nick Cartwright was running his 328 GTB in the Group 4 Class.

Memorable Season Finale at La Passione Ferrari

We have enjoyed some outstanding events this year, but the icing on the cake was always going to be the season finale at Passione Ferrari Silverstone. We hoped for a big grid and got it. We hoped for good weather and got it. We hoped for good, close and safe racing with nicely presented cars, and got it. With so many Club members present, not to mention more Ferrari North Europe and Ferrari Italy dignitaries than have ever witnessed our racing series, this was an important week-end.

Masters race meeting at Donington 2nd and 3rd July

For the third race meeting of 2016 the Pirelli Ferrari formula classic races were held on the full GP circuit at Donington Park. Probably for all the competitors this was a new experience as opportunities to race on the full circuit are hard to come by. We were able to run on the full circuit as we were part of the Masters race weekend which included their FIA GP and Sports Car races so were able to watch some exceptional classic racing – and there are few better places than the Craner Curves to watch.

Val de Vienne

Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic made its debut at the French circuit Val de Vienne on the 4th and 5th of June. Three races took place over what was a spectacular weekend of racing and huge gathering of classic and modern Ferraris. Our three entered 328 GTB's pictured being loaded ready to make the journey.

Oulton Park Rounds 1 & 2

These were possibly the most anticipated races in recent years, as we finally got to see the effect of inviting slightly later cars into our formula classic series. Entry levels were considerably up on last year, and even after last minute withdrawals some 19 cars took to the track for the single qualifying session in bright and warm sunshine. Missing was the shared Kearney/Moulden 355 whose driveshaft came adrift at the last minute. They would start from the back of the grid in both races.

Ironman racing 2014

In the run up to Ironman Wales in 2013 I envisaged I would be more than content if I managed to complete the race. I would call it a day at that. After nine months of tough continuous training I had experienced so many ups and down. Juggling work, family and triathlon becomes an art but leaves you with little or no time for anything else other than sleep!

Oulton Park 27th September 2014

Oulton Park hosted the last race of the season for the Pirelli Ferrari Formula classic series. The grid looked a little sparce with only fifteen cars, but a great turnout of front running competitors promised some close racing. With two qualifying sessions and 2 races on the same day it was a busy schedule ahead.

2013 Round one of the VW Cup Oulton Park

Rounds 1&2 VW Racing cup Oulton park Well due to budget reasons and costs we decided to run the golf ourselves at Oulton park for the first meeting of the year. Due to a busy work schedule back at base I couldn't get out to do the Thursday or Friday test like the other drivers, so qualifying was the first time in the car this year.

Nurburgring

Unable to avoid the temptation of the last round of the Pirelli classic/Open series and first trip to the Nurburgring we decided to make the trip and headed off for the  Hull to Zebrugge Ferry.  Jamie C decided to retire his car for the last round (giving us all chance) and so it was Nick campaigning for group 4 honours and Ben C for group 3.
