Paul Hernaman and Ray 'Crow' Crowther have been confirmed as winners of the 2006
HRCR Clubmans Rally Championship, after an exemplary campaign in their Porsche
911.
The championship, organised by the Historic Rally Car Register, covered nine
daylights events, with a mix of special tests and regularity sections to keep
both crew members busy.
The championship attracted more than 100 registered contenders and that total
could be exceeded in 2007 when the championship calendar will grow to ten
events.
"It was a case of all the lessons we have learned coming together," says
Hernaman. "We've got to know the event formats and one of the best things about
the championship is regardless of where you finish, there is always a friendly
bunch of people competing on the events."
Hernaman had a trouble free season in his Tuthill tended Porsche and reckons
that the special tests on Sculthorpe airfield during the East Anglian Classic
was one of the highlights of the season. "They were definitely Porsche tests,"
he says. His 911 will be on show at the HRCR Open Day at Gaydon on Saturday 13
January.
It was a special year for the Hernaman family, as Paul's elder brother Robin
was the winning co-driver of the ANCRO MSA National Gravel Rally Championship
alongside Craig Middleton.
The competition for the navigators’ title went to the wire, and it was Mike
Burrows who took the place after a season-long challenge. Linda Orme was
runner-up among the drivers, while Newcomers' Challenge winners were James
Griffiths and David Killeen.
