He was credited top man for his efforts at the three-day motorsport highlight, which also featured 18 total records across the numerous classes contested at Fort Corblets, Le Grand Val and the Fort Tourgis hill climb.
‘I’m super happy with what I’ve done – it was a while coming,’ he said.
‘I’ve gelled with the car and everything has clicked into place.’
At the Fort Corblets sprint, the man in the Dallara F3 race car put down a personal best 21.42sec. clocking for his first of three ‘FTD’s.
Scott Rayson and his powerful Chevrolet Special settled for second with a 21.97, just outside his own Non-Transaxles record, while race car driver Joby Rosamond put down a 22.39.
Karters Adam and Chris Law, production car drivers George Symons and Callum Queripel, and motorcyclists Harry Mann and Mike Bourgaize came away with class records.
Mann defied the comparatively small engine of his GasGas 250 to post the leading bikes time of 24.68, beating the 24.75 of Steve Collins with his one-litre Yamaha.
In the following day’s sprint near the airport, Carre was in a class of his own as the only competitor to break 19sec.
He did so on three occasions, progressing to an 18.73 on his final run, while Rayson followed on 19.43.
Karter Mike Brehaut showed his own pace with a 19.51 to just miss out on Glyn Ridley’s Senior Gearbox 250cc Twin record.
However, both Laws were among the competitors who did set class records, as were Queripel, Trevor John Le Page, Kieran Power, and the father-and-son bikes duo of Jez and Harry Mann.
This time Collins took the two-wheeled honours with 21.00 – just 0.09sec. quicker than Paul Traylen and his own one-litre machine.
In the hill climb, Carre set the FTD with 24.42 but began to feel the lack of grip from racing on old tyres.
Rayson ran him reasonably close with a 24.87 finale, while his class rival Jory went third-quickest on 26.30.
Alderney’s own Jon Stokes, UK-based Lotus Elise driver Kim Adams, Adam Law, Queripel and Bourgaize came away with class records.
Bourgaize had roared to a new Motorcycles 601 to 750cc record of 28.49, making him the fastest man on two wheels. But there was very little between him, Collins (28.55) and Traylen (28.59).
Up front, Carre had enjoyed a good, friendly rivalry with Rayson, who had not raced his ‘Chevy’ for much of the season.
‘I’ve got Scott, who was chasing me down in his big V8,’ he said.
‘Beating him was a great achievement.’
Towards the end of a season where she beat her own Le Val des Terres record, Scott’s wife Emma Rayson earned top woman after showing strongly on all three events.
Taking the opportunity to drive the Chevrolet Special, she won the Corblets opener in 24.12, Grand Val in 20.80, and hill climb in 27.15.
But there had been strength in depth to the remainder of the women’s field, who were otherwise led by Alisha Brehaut in her shared-drive Raw Striker.
Women made up 13% of the field, significantly surpassing the 5% average indicated by Motorsport UK statistics.
‘I never remember having that many women racing in Alderney,’ Guernsey Kart and Motor Club speed captain Scott Rayson said.
‘Emma had about 400 more horsepower than anybody else, but they had a good battle.’
Peter Clarke was among the other competitors honoured at the three-day highlight as he retired after six decades of motorsport, being treated to man-of-the-meeting honours and a standing ovation following the very last run.
