A brand new course, a brand new promotion, and a brace of brand new course records made the Aerologic RT 15, Round 14 of the Friction Hydraulics Series one to remember as the first medals of the Series were settled.

The longest event on the SCCA calendar saw riders battle through the teeth of a 23mph headwind down the A53, wearing riders down and making things take on the characteristics of a war of attrition – with Tomos Hales retaining The Jack Parker 100 Mile Trophy in Round 8 of The Friction Hydraulics Series: The […]
