Two cars in top six at HSCC finals
Speedsport's racing division enjoyed a strong end to the season at the HSCC finals meeting at Silverstone on October 19th.
Regular Merlyn pilot Josh West qualified second and finished a close third in the Historic Formula Ford race in the ex Tim Brise yellow car which both he and Callum MacLeod have raced with much success this season.
Newcomer Michael O'Brien put in an amazing performance in what was his first ever race meeting ; Michael qualified in Josh's wheeltracks in third place, and drove an excellent race to finish sixth after an eventful twenty minute race.
Another new driver, Mark Draghicescu, will take over the yellow Merlyn for the season finale Walter Hayes Trophy on November 2/3, and if his early testing form is anything to go by, will be very much a contender.

Speedsport double victory at the Classic
Callum MacLeod steered the Speedsport Merlyn Mk20A to two lights to flag victories at the prestigious Silverstone Classic meeting at the end of July.
After a narrow victory on the Brand Hatch Grand Prix Circuit two weeks earlier, Callum and the team were determined to impress at Silverstone, and they certainly did that !
Pole position by the astounding margin of two seconds was followed by dominant wins in both races when Callum judged the rolling starts to perfection and immediately opened up an impressive gap.
His winning margins of over 6 seconds, were complemented by fastest laps in both race. Thanks go to Abacus Insurance Services, Tesa UK, Scholar Engines and the hard working team of mechanics at Speedsport.
Josh West returns to drive the Merlyn at the final two races of the season at Brands Hatch and Silverstone, where he may be joined by a newcomer in another Merlyn currently being built up.
