The Bill Richards Racing team can look back on 2009 as another highly successful season. The Clubman carried out the vast majority of the teams racing throughout the year and ended the season second overall in the highly competitive BARC Dunlop Motorsport News Saloon Car Championship, winning its class in style having dominated throughout the year despite running the smallest capacity engine in the class. As ever the battling Clubman earned the respect of competitors and spectators alike with its tenacious style and stunning performances throughout the year making it one of the most recognisable cars on the grid and providing a constant draw in the paddock.

The Clubman also enjoyed considerable success in the SEMSEC series where it battled with an eclectic selection of machinery and often put far more powerful machinery to shame. Despite mssing several events due to date clashes the Clubman won Class 2 of the SEMSEC Sports & Saloon Car Championship. A further highlight for the team came with the Clubmans total domination of the “Fastest Mini In The World race”, winning its qualifiers and going on to win the final by a huge margin.

2009 also saw the return of the teams Special Saloon Metro, the re-engined machine taking a brace of wins on its competitive return. The Metro will undergo further improvements throughout 2010 as the project continues.

The teams success throughout the season could not have been achieved without the support of our sponsors and the relationships that the team has built with them.
