Come back after the bank holiday for updates on how the weekend went…
After nearly 14 years in the business Sue Chandler today retires here at Rutpen!
Thankfully she has not just rushed into the sunset, she spent quality time putting the team together to drive Rutpen into the future.
She has now handed the torch (should I say bunsen burner) down to Christian Baylies and Raluca Cristea.
We wish Sue all the best in her retirement; you will be missed within the team!
Sue’s send off ended with the rutpen team out at Silks on the Downs in Marlborough.

Last weekend Rutpens Managing Director Dave Roberts entered the Datsun 240Z into the CSCC Silverstone Spectacular; this was his first ever race! It’s a popular race with over 60 entrants so is split into two “grids” by engine size.
Dave was in group 2 for the larger engine cars, qualifying was first thing and starting at 18th on a grid of 30; pretty much mid field in the class!
When speaking to Dave he expressed how incredibly nervous it was being a standing start, the advise he was given was to hit first gear, 5000 revs and dump the clutch!
“I’d never done it before so just did what I was told said and managed to avoid a stranded TVR ahead on the grid & the field all made it through the first corner safely”.
“I pretty much worked & drove as hard as I could for 40 minutes and arrived exhausted and relieved to see the chequered flag. I didn’t really care where I had come, I was just elated to finish, but arrived back to the pits to discover I was third in class! Dazed and amazed I was presented with a trophy”.
Thanks to Stuart & Dan for coming out to Silverstone & to Dean Halsey & his team for their support and advice over the weekend, he runs another Datsun 240Z and came first in class!
A very well done from the team at Rutpen and we look forward to more trophies throughout the season from all the rutpen team!
Rutpen and the team would like to thank ChemUK and everyone who attended for a great event!
It was proven that the UK needed a chemical exhibition! See you all next year!

Rutpen sponsored MG enjoys a successful weekend at Snetterton for the opening round of the CSCC Tintops Race Saloons.
Qualifying 5th in class on a dry circuit was satisfactory, but a wet race and tyre strategy worked incredibly well with Stuart Emmett and the team finishing 3rd in class and 14th overall from a very mixed grid that saw almost 40 cars start the race!
A good weekend, no damage and a great result… Well done team!
Next race is the Dave Allen 40 minute endurance race at Castle Combe on MON 06.05.19.
