Racing Certainty
F1 Racing bear down on the Sporting Knavesmire goal during a York derby in the Premier Division of the Minster Engineering York Football League. Poppleton-based Sporting extended to three games their 100 per cent start to the season with a 2-1 victory at New Earswick Sports Club. Racing, pipped by a goal nine minutes from the end of normal time having struck the underside of the crossbar with a first-half penalty when the match was scoreless, have now lost four in a row after opening the campaign with a draw.
F1 Racing FC began life, in 1993, as a team for professional railwaymen. They were called Regional Railways North East FC. When, five years later, the train operating company changed, the club became Northern Spirit. In 2002, they opted for the F1 Racing name. They have rocketed up the York League, winning three successive championships. The 2016-17 season is their second as a Premier Division club.
