Three in a Row
2009 BriSCA F1 World Champion Andrew Smith will be defending his title at Coventry Stadium on Saturday 4 September. After successfully retaining his title last season Andrew equaled his friend and rival Peter Falding in having won the coveted BriSCA crown four times. For a driver as successful as Andrew, finding a new challenge in BriSCA F1 is elusive although 2010 could be a defining year as he bids for a hat trick of consecutive wins. Only two drivers in the sport’s history of World Championships have won the title on three consecutive occasions – the first being Dave Chisholm 252 (1973 at Harringay, 1974 at Coventry and 1975 at Belle Vue.). The second being The One and Only, the Maestro – six times World Champion Stuart Smith 1/391 (1983 at Coventry, 1984 at Belle Vue (Hyde Road) and 1985 at Bradford). Stuart, of course is Andrew’s father which makes the challenge of ‘Three in a Row’ even more thrilling. What an enticing build up to the sport’s main event the 2010 BriSCA F1 World Championship Final, Coventry Stadium, 4 September.
