BTCC Amateurs Cup (From 2004) 2005 Begins

[Samster]

Time to have a go at one of these alternate championships.

With the end of the Production Class after the 2003 season, more and more relative amateurs have decided to make the step up to the Touring Class in the BTCC for 2004. Therefore returning series admin, Alan Gow has decided to introduce an 'Amateurs Cup' for the drivers with little experience in junior categories, mostly the 'gentleman drivers' to give them something to race for.

Eligible drivers for 2004.

15. Fariqe Hairuman (Petronas Syntium Proton)
17. John George (TH Motorsports)
21. Paul Wallace (GA Motorsports)
40. Richard Marsh (John Bachelor Racing)
77. Jason Hughes (Kartworld)

[Samster]

Round 1 Thruxton

Richard Marsh will join at Brands Hatch next time out.

Qualifying

So our four current contenders make up the bottom four spots on the grid. Clearly the correct drivers were chosen based on this evidence.

17. 21 Paul Wallace +3.418
18. 77 Jason Hughes +3.557
19. 15 Fariqe Hairuman +5.277
20. 17 John George +7.923

Race 1

The first race of the season saw John George take a surprise win in his hopeless gas powered Honda Civic despite finishing a lap down on the overall leaders. Paul Wallace and Fariqe Hairuman were eliminated on the very first lap while Jason Hughes had been on his way to victory only to retire with just two laps remaining.

Round 2 Brands Hatch

Richard Marsh joins the grid, making it 5 amateurs, while Justin Keen also joins making the total grid number, 22.

Qualifying

Once again, the bottom four positions are made up by our amateurs only this time, Paul Wallace actually manages to out-qualify both Rob Collard and Justin Keen.

16. 21 Paul Wallace +0.832
19. 15 Fariqe Hairuman +1.332
20. 77 Jason Hughes +2.364
21. 40 Richard Marsh +3.000
22. 17 John George +9.707

Race 1

George is involved in the first lap pile up while yet again, Wallace and Hairuman fail to finish. This leaves Hughes to take his second win of the season, taking the championship lead with Marsh in second a lap down, his Civic equally as pathetic as George's despite not being gas powered.

Race 2

George is one of the many cars that won't take the start following the race 1 pile up earlier in the day. However everyone else makes the flag! Wallace is the winner, even taking an overall point. Hughes is next 18 seconds behind, just ahead of Hairuman.

Round 3 Silverstone

Paul Wallace is dropped by GA Motorsports to make way for Kelvin Burt. This leaves us with just four amateurs again for now.

Qualifying

Again, the amateurs were firmly at the bottom of the timing sheets with only Justin Keen's failure to set a lap keeping them from the very back. Hairuman impresses with his first class pole position and despite being over two seconds off he is on the same row as Proton teammate Shaun Watson-Smith.

18. 15 Fariqe Hairuman +4.592
19. 77 Jason Hughes +7.740
20. 40 Richard Marsh +9.386
21. 17 John George +10.080

Race 1

With Hughes out on the first lap, Hairuman is left to take an easy first class win with Marsh and George no where in sight with their hopeless Civics. He even nips at the heels of Keen's BMW.

Race 2

Hairuman again takes the class win, this time getting to beat Keen to the flag. The Malaysian may be a long way behind his teammate but if he keeps this up he could be a strong contender for the amateur title.

Round 4 Oulton Park

John George has decided to pull out for the time being to develop a new and hopefully less pathetic LPG powered car, a Peugeot 406. This leaves just three amateurs for the time being.

Qualifying

Hughes takes the class pole for Oulton, both he and Marsh out-qualify Kelvin Burt who clearly had issues with his car. Hairuman sadly fails to set a laptime.

18. 77 Jason Hughes +4.660
19. 40 Richard Marsh +6.000
21. 15 Fariqe Hairuman No Time

Race 1

In our closest battle yet, Hairuman manages to eek out his fourth consecutive win by just four tenths from Hughes, though both are over half a minute behind the lowest professional. Marsh is out after one lap.

Round 5 Mondello Park

George is still absent, planning to return at Croft leaving Hughes, Hairuman and Marsh as our only contenders again.

Qualifying

So again the amateurs are firmly at the back though Hughes is within a second of Carl Breeze the last of the professionals.

18. 77 Jason Hughes +3.118
19. 15 Fariqe Hairuman +3.869
20. 40 Richard Marsh +6.944

Race 1

Everyone finishes this time as Marsh makes the flag for the first time since the first Silverstone race and even finishes on the lead lap for the first time. Hughes takes his sixth class win of the season even managing to beat James Kaye.

16. 15 Fariqe Hairuman +1:14.796 (12)
17. 40 Richard Marsh +1:46.182 (10)

Race 2

Now here is the championship break that Hughes was hoping for. This time he's the only finisher. Marsh is out on lap one again while Hairuman bins it on lap two. Hughes now leads by 37 points.

Race 3

Marsh yet again fails to start leaving Hughes and Hairuman to battle alone in a chaotic final race of the day. Hughes takes his fifth consecutive win and even manages to score his first overall points with a 7th place, giving an ailing Yvan Muller a hard time. Hairuman for some reason refuses to pass his stricken teammate Shaun Watson-Smith for the final overall point for 10th.

Round 6 - Croft

John George returns with a Peugeot 406 and is slightly less hopeless, giving us a class of four again.

Qualifying

Taking up the bottom four once again but Hughes takes class pole by nearly 2 seconds and just barely looses out to Rob Collard overall.

19. 15 Fariqe Hairuman +4.077
20. 17 John George +5.723
21. 40 Richard Marsh +5.915

Race 1

Hughes dominates the first race even getting three pros between himself and the rest of the amateurs. He is over 20 seconds ahead of Hairuman. Clearly his Kartworld MG has improved since the beginning of the season.

In fairness I blame Legette for its rejectfulness since when Paul O'Neill took over at the end of 2006 it was solidly in the midfield.

[Samster]

Round 7 - Knockhill

Same lineup as before only with a total grid number of 18.

Qualifying

For the first time since Silverstone Hughes is not on pole, instead this goes to Hairuman, the Malaysian's second class pole of the season.

15. 15 Fariqe Hairuman +1.656
16. 17 John George +2.121
17. 77 Jason Hughes +2.191
18. 40 Richard Marsh +3.335

Race 1

But its Hughes that takes his tenth class win of the season while Hairuman is the only retirement. In fact Hughes very nearly takes tenth overall and the reverse grid pole for the second race, very nearly beating the dawdling Jason Plato who was attempting to not beat Matt Neal and Rob Collard both employing the same strategy to try and take the reverse grid pole.

14. 40 Richard Marsh +1 lap (10)

Race 2

Hughes does get an overall point this time for 10th while taking his 11th class win. A late safety car means that he's within ten seconds of the overall winner. Everyone in the class finishes.

Race 3

Once again, Hairuman is the only retirement. Despite all the excitement at the very front it was an uneventful race for the amateurs with Hughes completing his second hatrick weekend of the season.

Hughes has a slim chance of securing the title after the next round at Brands Hatch. Given Hairuman's recent finishing record, it is more plausible than it seems. The battle for third is hotting up between Marsh and George, both are also fighting to not have to hold the wooden spoon each race.

[Samster]

Round 8 - Brands Hatch

Marsh replaces his Civic with a hopefully quicker Peugeot 307. We are back to a 20 car grid in total.

Qualifying

Hairuman fails to set a time along with Carl Breeze. Hughes takes his fourth class pole of the season.

Round 9 - Snetterton

Exact same grid as before.

Qualifying

Hairuman takes his third class pole of the season with the amateurs only beating the Alfa of Stefan Hodgetts which failed to set a representative time. Everyone else is over a second ahead.

The battle for 2nd is still on. Can George or Marsh sneak past Hairuman. Their only realistic chance is if the Malaysian fails to finish at least twice which seems to be close to a given most of the time.

[Samster]

Round 10 - Donnington Park

The final round of the season sees Marsh leave John Batchelors's team, seemingly taking his 307 with him. His replacement, the awesomely named Jay Wheals is stuck with the Civic from earlier on, you know the one that suspiciously looks like the production class car that the team used last season. Wheals will be classed as a pro seeing as he has a junior career.

Qualifying

Hughes has by far his best qualifying of the season, making it up to 13th overall and beating James Kaye, Dan Eaves and Gavin Pyper in the process. George fails to set a time along with Hairuman's pro teammate, Shaun Watson-Smith.

Okay let's get 2005 started.

Eligable drivers for 2005

23. Mark Proctor (Fast-Tec Motorsport)
36. Jason Hughes (Kartworld)
77. Richard Williams (SpeedEquipe)
78. Ian Curley (SpeedEquipe)
82. Fiona Leggate (Tech-Speed Motorsport)

From 2004's contenders only defending champion Jason Hughes will return and even he will miss the first half of the season. But we will see at least four new contenders, first is ASCAR midfielder Mark Proctor who will bring his Fast-Tec team with him for his first crack at road course racing. He has bought the Astra that Rob Collard has used for the past two seasons, looks like he has so little funding that he couldn't even change the livery.

SpeedEquipe, backed by HPI will run the very first amateur driver pairing with Richard Williams and Ian Curley both moving up from decent Clio Cup careers. They will race with a pair of Lexus IS200s which the team is ambitiously developing themselves. Curley may have to miss a few rounds at the start of the season however.

Finally Tech-Speed plan to race with the BTCC's first ever bio-ethanol powered car having converted the Astra that they ran with Michael Bentwood last season. Female racer, Fiona Leggate will be the driver though it will be a few rounds before we see her out.

A small entry list up front should see the amateurs able to compete for overall points on a more regular basis this season.

[Samster]

Round 1 - Donnington Park

So only Richard Williams and Mark Proctor make it to the first round at Donnington Park joining just 10 pro entries to make a pitiful 12 car grid overall.

Qualifying

Williams' Lexus proves to be hopelessly off the pace while Proctor fails to even set a time. Williams is over six seconds behind anyone else.

Just when you think the entry list couldn't get more pathetic, Mark Proctor has to miss this round while Richard Williams fails to set a time in qualifying then is unable to race in any of the three races! So as far as the amateurs go, bugger all happens.

At least Tom Chilton returns with his Civic to give us a grand total of..... 11 cars.

Round 3 - Brands Hatch Indy

Ian Curley joins the grid in the second Lexus alongside Williams meaning that for the first time we have an amateur super team. Proctor also returns making it an overall grid of 14.
