Brian Caldersmith’s Lotus Art at the Turramurra Artisans Trail

Turramurra Artisans Trail

The Turramurra Artisans Trail is going to be held this weekend at various locations throughout Turramurra and it looks quite lovely. We, however, are interested in what’s going to be nestled away in location D.

Brian Caldersmith has commandeered part of the location at the His & Hers Gallery and will be selling some of his lovely Lotus cartoons and paintings along with his other motorsport art.

Brian is heavily involved in historic motorsport and Lotus, and is an extraordinarily talented artist. If you’re going to be around Turramurra over the weekend, or are looking for something fun to do or some appropriately-themed art, make sure to check it out!

Turramurra Artisans Trail will be held over the 29th and 30th of November, 2014 from 10AM to 4PM at various locations throughout Turramurra. Brian Caldersmith’s art will be displayed at the His & Hers Gallery, 18 Burnley Avenue, Turramurra.

Take a look at the works below to get an idea for Brian’s work. Images by, and thanks to, Brian Caldersmith.

Supplementary Regulations and Entry for Round 7 2014 CSCA Championship

Supplementary regulations and entry for the final round of the 2014 Combined Sports Cars Australia Championship are now available at CAMS Motor Event Entry.

Hit this handy link to head over there, check ’em out and enter if you haven’t already.

Please read the regs COMPLETELY as there are a few changes, including those imposed by the ARDC. We are confident they will have no effect on the enjoyment available!

Check your vehicle details and make any edits and additions as necessary as this is a massive help to the volunteer staff at the Sprite Car Club of Australia.

We’re looking forward to the final round of the year, and it’s fair to say that it might be a bit crowed at the top, apart from the Club Championship which is firmly in our grasp!

2014 CSCA Round 6 Wrap-Up and Point Score Update

Round 6 of the 2014 CSCA championship was held at Wakefield Park on the 26th of October and standings are close as we head to the final round of the year!

Club Lotus Australia has bolted from the pack in the club championship, leaving TSOA and MGCCN equal on points for second place with the last round to sort it.

MGCC and JDCA are separated by two points for 5th, with a slim chance of catching SCCA. As it’s SCCA’s round, one would hope they have plenty of their own runners to keep them safe in 4th.

There are still a number of classes undecided.

The drivers championship looks safe for Mark Alexander, but if he has a problem and gets pushed down a few places in class, Rex Hodder and Syd Reinhardt are in with a chance. It’s even mathematically-possible to have a three way tie!

If any of the ladies in marque cars who have run previously this season run again in the final round they are in with a strong a chance of winning that trophy. At present we have no representative in the Ladies Championship. Someone must have a wife girlfriend daughter who is trusted to drive their Lotus!

Entries are open for the final round, which will be held at Sydney Motorsport Park on the 14th of December, 2014. Head to the CAMS Motor Event website by clicking this handy link and enter – it promises to be an interesting event!
