Raf Team Soars To Birkett Glory
Motorsport News|November 1, 2017

For the third time in 10 years, a team from the RAF Motorsports Association won the Birkett Six Hour Relay race at Silverstone as Armed Forces Race Challenge (AFRC) organiser Chris Slator led his squad to handicap honours.

While none of the five drivers that combined to claim the prize for RAFMSA this season were involved in 2008, Slator and Darren Howe were part of the 2011 winning team, with their Peugeot and Volkswagen Golf this year joined by Dan Smith’s Ford Fiesta and BMWs for Scott Lawson and Ed McKean, who saw them home. He picked up the baton in a strong position, with the team leading from two-thirds distance, although they had languished in 27th after two hours. Maintaining a consistent pace is key in the AFRC – in which all five drivers regularly compete – which stood them in good stead for the Birkett.
