2024 Formula Classic – Round 3
Wanneroo Park 14th April
Just when you thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse!
Only 7 cars entered the third round of the 2024 Formula Classic Championship. Lance Carwardine withdrew on the morning with a back injury.
Qualifying was uneventful with Simon Alderson putting his Van Diemen on pole with Marty Bullock in his Chevron alongside.
Race 1 saw Simon take the win, with Marty in second place, followed by Dave Watkins in his Royale, Glenn Swarbrick and Dave Dearden. Brian Searles dropping out with engine maladies in his Tiga Sports 2000.
Race 2 culled over half of the remaining cars. Watto’s Royale developed a terminal ignition issue, Glenn ruptured a water hose and ‘cooked’ the Macon engine and Marty had a major lock up at the end of the start finish straight ending him in the sand trap.
The final race of the day saw only two cars take to the track.
The highlight of the meeting was seeing Dave Dearden take an outright second place trophy home with him. Congratulations Dave!

1st Simon Alderson 75 pts
