Last weekend SCHORC entered their first SCHORC named team in the Derby HO Le Mans 24 hours event. The event is a 24 hour Le Mans style endurance race run on a massive replica of the famous Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe track. The team consisted of club members Roy Masters (captain), Tony Stacey, Al Wood and Paul Rose. They were joined by James Mellor, Dean Turnbull and Dan Garbett.
