TR Register restructures its Sprint and Hillclimb Championship

The TR Register is changing its Revington TR / TR Register Sprint and Hillclimb Championship to enable all 4 wheel Triumphs to compete and in doing so has abandoned its structured classes in favour of a personal target time.

Previously, competitors were slotted into one of six classes according to modifications made to the car. For the 2011 season competitors will be awarded a target time at each venue they compete at based on their previous best times. Where competitors travel to new venues, a cross referencing system will be used to award the target time.

Competitors new to sprinting and hillclimbing will awarded their first target time based on the specification of their car. Subsequent times will be based on performance and competitors will be eligible for the Newcomer Award during their first two seasons.

In making these changes the club aims to at least double the number of competitors in 2011.

Phil Tucker, the TR Register’s new Competitions Secretary says: “These changes enable us to do a number of things. First, we should see more TRs competing as the old class system occasionally put some would be competitors at a significant disadvantage. Second, it will allow existing competitors to further develop their cars in a way they would like to do without fear of taking them into a higher class. Third, we hope it will bring in a much more diverse mix of cars on the hills and we’re really looking forward to seeing Spitfires, Stags and Saloons running alongside Roadsters, Renowns, Heralds, Estates and, of course TRs.”

Nigel Clark, Club Manager of the Triumph Sports Six Club welcomed the news saying: “This change is most welcome and it will allow our members to compete on an equal footing with the TR boys. I hope that many of our club members participate in what will become a wonderful display of sporting Triumphs at their best.”

He says : “We’ve even bought a new race suit and helmet which we’ll lend to anyone who has a suitable car to have a go without incurring additional expenditure.”
