Truck Racing at Pembrey – October 2017
I was there, so how could I not go. First time at Pembrey, first time Truck Racing.
The excuse for the trip was to take some things down to my son who’s studying at Swansea University, and then have a weekend on the Gower. Other than the idea of a few days by the coast, I’d not planned anything before I left. I only discovered that there was truck racing at Pembrey when I was looking for things to do after I got there.
The circuit at Pembrey has fast sweeping corners and tight hairpins and is a about 1.5 miles in length. Spectators can get to nearly all of it. The meeting was for British Truck Racing Championship, Renault UK Clio Cup Junior, Mighty Minis and Welsh Racing Drivers Association which seemed to be a class for any car with a roof on it. The truck racing was much as I expected it to be, good fun, but not something that I’d rush to go again
With the remains of Hurricane Ophelia blowing straight at The Gower Peninsula, Chris and I took a trip to Rhossili. It was very windy. The people at the Coastwatch lookout told us that it was gusting at around 80mph.
