Golding to be remembered by BHRC award
Charles Golding, the winner of the 2002 MSA British Historic Rally Championship, will be remembered by a special award to be presented at the end of each season.The Charles Golding Award will be presented to the highest placed driver in a self-prepared car within the Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship, and has been provided by Flip Golding in memory of her late husband. He died in December 2002, soon after clinching the BHRC title with his long-time co-driver, Preston Ayres."Charles got someone else to build his engine, although he had been known to do it himself, and he used to send away his gearbox for the occasional rebuild, but again occasionally doing it himself," said Ayres. "Everything else he prepared himself."The award, commissioned by Flip Golding, is of brass models of cars in which Charles competed, mounted on a wooden plinth, and will be presented at the Historic Rally Car Register annual awards ceremony early in 2008.
