Festive Funduro Hits Driffield Report: RAW Media RAW Enduro rounded out their competitive 2021 season, by staging what will now become an annual event for an end of season bash. The Festive Funduro idea was created to get riders together for a relaxed, fun event. Riders from enduro, trials, and MX, were in attendance, everyone got in the festive spirit after another tough year for many. Wayne Braybrook hit the target by designing a super long course, easy in nature and interesting around the 650 Acre Driffield site. From beginners to some of the world's Pro and Expert riders, the attendance was great with lots of happy faces on a very mild winter's day, despite the heavy rain making conditions muddy after Saturday night.
The event was a huge success, the winter Funduro concept will continue from RAW Enduro through the winter months weather permitting.
A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported RAW Enduro by attending
these events in 2021. 2022 sees a big shake up in terms of events and
championships. A "less is more" approach from Wayne Braybrook and his
team at RAW, will make 2022 very interesting, affordable, and enjoyable with the
events planned for the coming season. Details will be released very soon. @RAWEnduro Download the RAW Enduro APP on Apple and Android to your smart phone so you don't miss anything RAW related.

Three
hours was the race duration, with options for Solo Ironmen or Two Man Relay
teams, there was something for everyone. Bert's Crayston overcame a first lap
off on his return to UK events, after a weekend away indoors at the Super Enduro,
Bert's rolled up his sleeves to take an impressive Expert Solo Win. Team Steer
rider Reece Gazzard rode well to take runner up spot, he now prepares for his
winter training ahead of what promises to be a good 2022 season for the lad from
Northern Ireland. Sam Bradley took the Clubman solo top spot ahead of Anthony
Turner, a late entry into the solo vets saw Simon Tate back in action taking the
class win from Alex Tingle. Fraiser Lampkin opted to run in the adult ranks, and
what a good decision it was. Still finding his feet in enduro, this young man
simply loves riding his Enduro bike, a total of 11 laps on an 85cc bike solo was
pretty good going. Young Guns stole the march in the Clubman and Sportsman Team
Classes, Bert Boam and Callum Hughes are two top clubman riders, they teamed up
to take the clubman class win and Third overall on the day. Hayden Stansfield
and Lucas Travers are riding the crest of a wave at the moment, they worked hard
to take the Sportsman win.
As
the race duration wound down, track conditions started to dry out on the open
going. The woodland sections however stayed very slippery which tested all
riders' line choice, and ground reading skills. Some teams opted for fast single
laps, others did a stint of 2 or 3 laps before switching riders. In the Lads and
Dads Class Kev and Scott Hipwell were the fastest Santa's on the day! Scott
taking the Lads and dads class holeshot, got them the edge over runners up Chris
and Luke Gorse, who thoroughly enjoyed their lads and dads day. Tom Nelson and
Lucas Newsome grabbed the Novice Team win, with Conner Pickering and Evan Sharpe
placing runner up. MX regulars Ben and Jimmy Margetson enjoyed their winter
Funduro outing, running sprint laps the pair showed great pace as they attacked
the Driffield course. Sam Winterburn and Chloe Richardson ground out 14 laps to
take runner up spot in the Expert Team class.
