2006 SEASON Overall, we finished the SEMSEC Saloon & Sports Championship 29th of 76, 12th of 20 in category E, (Intermediate Saloons Championship) & 3rd of 7, in Class 13, (Intermediate Saloons over 1400cc and up to 1800cc). Not a bad season, seeing as we only raced at 3 meetings, building the car for the first 5 & then rebuilding the car for the other two! At the BARC SEC Southern Sports / Saloons meeting at Brands Hatch on the 11th November, we finished both races 20th of 27, but finished 3rd in our class in both races, ending our 1st season, with a trophy! 2007 SEASON The final 2008 SEMSEC Saloon & Sports Championship positions are as follows: We competed & scored points in 6 races out of 11 & finished 28th of 65 in the overall championship, 16th of 32 in Category A & 7th of 12 in Class 2 At the BARC Festival of Motorsport on the 8th September at Lydden Hill, we finished 1st in class & won our second trophy!! Thanks to everyone for their help during this season. 2008 SEASON After a year of many problems, LEHANE Racing finished the 2008 season 2nd in class E of the 2008 BARC Intermarque series & won our third trophy in a row! 2009 SEASON On the 9th May at the SEMSEC race meeting at Lydden, the qualifying session was cut short due to cars spinning off, which meant we started last on the grid for race one. After a storming start & making up several places, we managed to keep the Ginetta behind for 6 laps. The race was also stopped early because of cars again spinning off. In race two, we had an epic battle with the V8 MGB of John Chaplin. After 5 laps, the MGB managed to get past, due to its greater top end speed. We finished the second race 3rd of 5 in class. All in all, two good races, with the Ginetta & the MGB After a poor qualifying session at the SEMSEC race meeting, at Lydden on the 6th June, we started 17th of 18 & 5th in class for race one. We had a storming start to the race, passing several cars during the 15 lap race & ended the race finishing 3rd in class & 11th overall. Race 2 saw us starting on the grid 11th overall & third in class, but yet again, after a blistering start, we moved up 2 places, into 1st in class & finished the race winning our 1st trophy of 2009! A great race day & good points gained. The car had overheating problems at the SEMSEC race on the 4th July at Lydden Hill, which meant we didn’t finish the first race. After changing the radiator, we started the second race 18th & last, but went on to finish in 12th place overall. In the third race, we managed to finish third overall & gain our second trophy of the season. All in all & after a poor start, the car performed brilliantly for the rest of the day. After trying to repair the car for the Brands Hatch meeting on the 12th September, the repairs obviously didn't work (see Photo Gallery 12th September). Hopefully the car will be ready for the final SEMSEC meeting of the year, at Lydden Hill on 24th October 2009 It was a very wet race day on the 24th October at Lydden Hill (See Photo Gallery 24th October). We qualified 5th of 9 in class & finished both races in that position, due mainly to our wet weather tyres being rubbish! We now have new wet weather tyres for the final race of the season, at Brands Hatch on 14th November. The action starts at 9am. We qualified 32nd out of 32 for the race day at Brands Hatch on the 14th November 2009. During the 1st race, we managed to move up the grid, finishing 25th, & 1s in class. In the second race, we moved up another 3 places, finishing 22nd & again, 1st in class! A very wet, but great day, with two 1st places & making up 10 places overall.!
