A Pictorial Review of the Aero Challenge 2017. Elliott Paterson doubled up to win his second Aero Challenge Championship with a perfect 110 points and Class ‘B’ victory in his ARV6. Keith Ahlers dominated Class ’A’ in the V8 he has owned and raced for thirty years, taking nine outright wins and fastest laps.

A  Pictorial  Review  of  the  Aero  Challenge  2017.  

 

Elliott  Paterson  doubled  up  to  win  his  second  Aero  Challenge  Championship  with  a  perfect  110  points  and  Class  ‘B’  victory  in  his  ARV6.  

 

 

Keith  Ahlers  dominated  Class  ’A’  in  the  V8  he  has  owned  and  raced  for  thirty  years,  taking  nine  outright  wins  and  fastest  laps.  Racing  his  Morgan  SLR  in  the  European  Masters  Series  

meant  he  missed  a  number  of  rounds,  however,  Class  victory  in  the  Masters  made  it  worthwhile.

 Andrew  Thompson  was  left  to  clinch  the  runner-­‐up  spot  in  Class  ‘B’  behind  runaway  winner  

Elliott  Paterson,  taking  a  single  Class  win.  

 

Class  ‘C’  fell  to  Phillip  Tisdall,  who  also  scooped  the  ‘Most  Points’  prize,  and  was  close  to  matching  Elliott  for  the  overall  title.  

Small  entries  hampered  his  challenge.

 With  ten  wins,  Brett  Syndercombe  claimed  Class  ‘D’  with  a  string  of  consistent  races.  

The  Brands  Hatch  Morgan  entered  car  looked  good  in  it’s  Dark  Green  livery.    

 Michele  Bailey  in  the  car  she  shares  with  Hubby,  Chris,  claimed  five  class  wins,  often  with  little  or  no  opposition  to  ensure  she  is    

Class  E  Champion.

 Tom  Dailey  won  Class  ‘H’,  a  total  of  eight  wins  being  sufficient  to  scoop    

the  honours  ahead  of  Kelvin  Laidlaw.  With  less  than  three  cars    contesting  the  class  points  were  in  short  supply.  

 

 With  his  distinctive  yellow  4/4,  Tim  Parsons  mounted  a  serious  attack    on  the  outright  Aero  Championship,  before  a  troubled  time  at  the    Bentley  Drivers  Club  Meeting  left  him  just  too  much  to  make  up.  

Consolation  was  nine  Class  ‘R’  wins.

Three  other  drivers  each  scored  an  overall  win  during  the  season.  Russell  Paterson  at  Cadwell  Park,  Ollie  Bryant  at  the  BDC  Silverstone,  and  

Roger  Whiteside  at  Donington.    

   

John  Bevan  wheeled  out  his  trusty  4/4  for  one  last  blast  to  win  Class  ‘I’  with  two  wins  at  Silverstone  before  switching  to    

the  ex-­‐Simon  Scott  Roadster.    

The  season  started  at  Snetterton  in  April,  and  ended  at  the  same  place  In  September,  visiting  Silverstone,  Brands  Hatch,  Oulton  Park,  

 Cadwell  Park  and  Donington  in  between.  Well  done  to  Elliott  Paterson  on  his  second  Aero  Challenge  Crown.  

Can  anyone  stop  him  making  it  a  treble?  Maybe  Ferrari  will  Offer  him  a  drive  ....................!
