MIXED weather conditions only added to the spectacle at Croft last weekend as the British Automobile Racing Club served up a motorsport bonanza in North Yorkshire.
In what is always a popular trip to the north, five championships continued their campaigns in front of an enthusiastic trackside crowd.
Miles Rudman maintained his position at the top of the Legends Cars National Championship with MRF Tyres standings after producing an impressive performance around the 2.12-mile circuit. Chalking up two wins, the former champion was one of the leading lights over the course of the weekend whilst there were also victories for John Mickel, Will Gibson and a brace of Jack Parker.
The Caterham Graduates Championship produced its fair share of thrills and spills with no less than four races taking centre stage too. Wheel-to-wheel action ran throughout the entire Sigma 135 class as James McCall and David Read each scored victory.
Elsewhere, the amalgamated Sigma 150/Sigmax bouts also saw a different driver stand on the top step of the podium in each encounter. Harry Senior, one of the in-form drivers heading into the event, starred in race one as he powered to victory before Ben Winrow came to the fore in race two.
There was unmissable action in the CNC Heads Sports/Saloon Car Championship. Jon Woolfitt powered his Spire GTR to top spot in race one before Paul Rose bounced back from a retirement to end the weekend on a high, winning race two.
It proved to be an emotional weekend for the Silverlake C1 Racing Series as the club paid tribute to the late Angela Lucas, who died at an event at Snetterton last month. Following a poignant tribute lap, the 31-car grid embarked on an action-packed three-hour race which saw Team Davies ultimately prevail. The team of John Davies and Matthew Davies delivered a commanding drive to claim the chequered flag by more than 30 seconds.
Capping off the weekend’s track action were two contests from the ever-entertaining MINI CHALLENGE Trophy. Boasting a near 30-car field, Joe Wiggin and Nicky Taylor enjoyed a share of the spoils as they claimed a win apiece.
