In another busy weekend of racing (22-24 July), Calum Lockie raced a Group C car at the Silverstone Classic on Saturday evening and shared Paul White’s Mosler MT900R In the Britcar MSA British Endurance Championship at Castle Combe on Sunday. The reward for the weekend was a stunning C2 victory and seventh overall at Silverstone followed by second in class and fourth overall at Castle Combe.The weekend started on Thursday with testing at Silverstone where Calum was racing the ADA of John Pearson in the headline Group C race in the dusk of Saturday evening.“We did minimum running on Thursday because just as we were about to go out it rained and we were on slicks. There was really nothing to be gained, so I just did two laps to make sure everything was running nicely and then we parked up,” said Calum. The car would start from 14th on the 25-car grid.Early on Saturday morning he drove to Castle Combe to test the Mosler, running on old tyres just to check the car out. “Paul did a few laps, but he was full of flu. In the afternoon we qualified P5 overall and P3 in class, which was okay. We finished there at about 5.15pm and headed straight to Silverstone for the Group C race. I’d had no dry running, so I just jumped into the ADA.“I warmed the brakes and tyres up as much as I could on the two parade laps. At the start I kept tight to the pitwall and zoomed down the inside. I passed four cars on the way to the first corner and got a couple more at Village and then went round the outside of at least one more at the Loop and then passed another one into Brooklands, by which time I was fourth overall. I was very chuffed with that.“Then Gary Pearson, who’d had a problem at the start, came flying through in the C1 Jaguar and Steve Tandy’s Nissan blew by me. That put me to sixth and then three laps from the end the engine note changed and I was a little concerned so I knocked the revs off a bit. I dropped it from 9000 to about 7500 to 8000rpm“Then I saw Momo C1 car of Martin O’Connell behind me and tried to hang on, but it was a C1 car with 750bhp to my 490bhp so he got me on the old pits straight. I could see lights in the mirror and knew that someone else was coming, but I finished first in C2 and seventh overall. I really enjoyed it; I always like being the underdog and doing some giant killing. It was brilliant fun.”On Sunday morning, it was an early start for the journey to Castle Combe for the two-hour Britcar race. Due to some logistical problems, the Mosler didn’t get onto the grid and so Calum started from the pit lane. “I had to get the tyres up to temperature and then started to work my way through the field,” he said. Two safety car periods allowed them to take on 50 litres of fuel without losing a lap and Calum eventually ran for 95 minutes, completing 76 laps and taking the car from the tail of the pack to fourth overall and second in class. White then completed the last 25 minutes, despite feeling very unwell. “Paul did some fantastic lap times and he was going really well,” said Lockie. With the rival Mosler badly delayed by a major off, they have now taken the lead in the class title race. “It was a very good weekend all round,” said Calum.Thanks are due to Paul, Dave Sheard and the Strata 21 team for the chance to race the Mosler and to John Pearson, along with Pop and the crew, for the ADA drive.
