BBC BOOST FOR BriSCA F1
BriSCA
Formula One Stock Car Racing received a welcome mid
season boost today with confirmation that the GEARS
& TEARS programme featuring the sport has now hit
the schedules.
Devised and produced by Charlie Clay who also
produced Trawlermen and Coast together with oval
race fan John Lakey, the series provides a unique
inside docu style view of the sport across the 2009
season.
Whilst concentrating on the generational rivalry of
Lancashire's Smith team and Yorkshires Wainman
family it features an intriguing and compelling
insight into the real `blood,sweat and tears' as the
two families, Andrew and Stuart Smith and Frankie
and Danny Wainman battle it out for the seasons top
honours.
It also picks up on many of the characters of the
sport.
The BBC production team were omni present across the
spectrum of venues in 2009 and were there to the end
as the season finale climaxed at Manchesters Belle
Vue which also staged the 2009 British Championship.
The 6 part series commences on BBC1 from Monday 2nd
August at 10.35.pm
Following recent speculation about
Donnington Park, the BriSCA Management Board
make the following statement.
Within the last month contact was made
with the BriSCA F1 Management Board
requesting outline information with regard
BriSCA and Oval Racing at Donnington Park in
Leicestershire.
The contact originated from the
Operations Director of Donnington Park.
Donnington Park have not submitted any
formal application at this time with regards
2011 and their enquiry was, we understand,
entirely exploratory and unconnected with
any previous discussions that may have taken
place prior to the new Management takeover.
The very detailed Press Release issued was
somewhat premature and issued without
consent or knowledge of the new Donnington
Park management.
The Management Board
have supplied relevant information as
requested.

HEMT
NATIONAL POINTS 2010
The BriSCA F1 Management
Board are pleased to announce a major
sponsorship tie-up which results in the
renaming of 2010 National Points
Championship and Shootout to become the
HEMT NATIONAL POINTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2010 and
HEMT NATIONAL POINTS SHOOTOUT 2010.
The deal secures a
significant increase in prize-funding for
the season-long points battle where the top
12 of BriSCA's best at the cut-off after
Buxton’s meeting on 1 August take part in
the ten meeting HEMT National Points
Shootout 2010 where the winning driver wins
the coveted Silver Roof and title HEMT
National Points Champion 2010.
HEMT is the abbreviation for
Heavy Equipment Maintenance & Trading Co LLC
which is a major company manufacturing and
repairing oil rigs based in the Sultanate of
Oman supplying the oil industry in the
worldwide. The link to BriSCA F1 is far
closer than may at first be imagined as the
company is owned by a life-long BriSCA F1
fan Chris Green MBE. As Chris explains,
"I've been a mechanic, a driver 494, and
supporter of BriSCA Stock Car racing since
1966. Although I now live in Oman in the
Middle East I still get over to meetings in
UK whenever I can. The sport has given me so
much pleasure over the years that this
tie-up gives me the chance to show my
appreciation and to put something back."
HEMT's involvement has been
warmly welcomed by both BriSCA and the
BSCDA. As Steve Rees, a promoter member of
the Management Board explains, "Since it was
formed the Management Board has been keen to
see an increase the level of sponsorship to
back-up the re-invigorated season-long
points battle. HEMT coming in as the main
sponsor has to be a great fillip for the
sport".
BSCDA Chairman and fellow
Management Board member Neil Scothern is
equally enthusiastic adding, "HEMT join an
already impressive list of sponsors (see
below)
but this is the first time we have
secured a main sponsor and we very grateful
to HEMT for coming on-board. Everyone will
have heard of the Barclays Premier League.
Now everyone in motorsport will need to get
used to saying the HEMT National Points
Championship! I hope everyone associated
with the sport will be as pleased as I am
and look forward to giving Chris Green, the
HEMT CEO, the warmest of welcomes whenever
he is able to get along to our events".
