[Music] [Applause] down that’ll rock this place this place this place this [Music] place well good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Thruxton the fastest circuit in the UK for the classic sports car club Thruxton Thriller of 2024 I’m Marcus P alongside me we got Chris buckston and Kieran McGinley work in the pits today we have a nine race program coming up and uh it’s all action action all the way kicking off uh in just a short while with the ramir BMW Championship verm Builders open series grid they come out for the first time uh shortly before our lunch break we follow with Advantage Motorsport future Classics JC racing special saloons and mod Sports the mg Trophy and Bara Jag components Jaguar Championship we’ve got liqu molly slicks cward sport tint tops hum cup modern Classics uh then we’ve got Advantage Motorsport future Classics chy racing special solu come out again uh and we run through to the end of the afternoon we’ve got the gold Arts magnificent sevens the seven grid uh which is very very strong so uh our first grid coming forward the first race of the day and that is the first of our two ramare BMW Championship and veram Builders open series races being led round appropriately by a very very flash uh safety car which um is very far from subtle no very much so good afternoon to you Marcus good afternoon Kieran down in the pit Lane and good afternoon everybody either watching live or post event and those circuit side a great opportunity to enjoy some fantastic racing here at the Hampshire Home of horsepower and here’s our grid then on pole it’s Graham curst in number 15 alongside him Nathan Wells second row is Nile Bradley and Jason West third row is Brian bransom and Michael vuli who’s had some work done on his cast and is qualifying he has indeed so from row four will be the number 32 car of James card alongside Dylan popovic the lead of our open series contenders in the number nine uh actually showing his knes on I wonder if Dylan popovic has had trouble poic isn’t in the BMW GD that’s knes then it’s Paul Cook Sam Pearson Matthew Evans in that Mighty 1M Coupe jepi Kari is in there as well and then we go back to Adrien Bradley Ian Chris Oliver Smith and uh let’s see Dave Griffin in there the oie in his diet coke uh car it’s one to watch for he’ll come through uh we’ve got John Wyatt on P 17 the Taylor and Becket car is uh is next up Shane Taylor is going to be the starting the number 33 and then there is Dylan popovic of course the BMW and the open grid being split and then it’s OE Smith in the 136 alongside the 189 car of Wilson then it’s Strickland in the number six with mccormac just behind him yeah it’s a great mix of cars we’ve got the the Fantastic turbocharge VW Golf uh down there which really goes well that’s the Ross Irvine car uh a real good mix and this uh open series cars led by Dylan papovich in the 7 L Chevrolet power Janetta uh G50 but there the BMWs with grahe kohur in that distinctively livered car going out of the blocks one not away but a all well and uh that is number 47 in fact two BMWs didn’t get away and the second one is going to impede the open series grid there’s one still there and I wonder whether this is going to see the start of the second group uh aborted because one driver with his hands waving out of the window we can’t see who it is at this point uh is is stuck out on the track uh we can see the it’s Nathan Wells who leads the way but with a grid still sitting here I think it’s Ian Chris but that is the car in trouble he’s got some Motive Power they have red flag the session they they did not uh feel it safe understandably to release the open series GD with one stationer and of course the BMW field are now making their way back towards us having gone through Campbell cob and CRA in Chris have got a little bit of Motive Power so hopefully they can get his car out of the way and they can then roll the open series group background still stuck somewhere de now near pole but the rest of the BMWs the ram series cars are coming around criser is broken again up on the start line but he’s pushable I think back towards the pit Lane and provided the BMWs run up uh and can run sort of Fairly gingerly through this uh pack of cars on the grid they can resume where they were well the open guys L by Dylan popovic the sovo born racer um it leads that next group potentially that next group away well this is an unusual way of starting festivities here at the well and all the years I’ve been coming racing at such that I’ve never seen anything quite like it no that that that is a first for me there have been some incredible moments here the Hampshire Home of horsepower but this this is quite a new one so the BMW is now being lined up single file uh now of course stuck behind the open series cars uh Ian Chris still has yet to be extracted from his particular position it must be getting very hot down there in the cars as well as uh as much as the rain has tried to interfere with uh today’s festivities it is very warm here which is no complaint at all but when you’re in race gear and down there bolted into the cars it can get a little uncomfortable it’s not good that’s for sure n Bradley who was on row two in the 47 car didn’t get away he has resumed he’s he got going but he’s now at the back end of the queue now I can’t quite work out while we have a catm at the end of the BMW grid BMW do cats what does not belong in this picture yes one of the cats that’s bizarre cuz he wouldn’t have liked it shouldn’t have lined up at the front of the open series grid so a little bit of miscommunication there but we will get festivities running this is a car that was maybe late into the assembly area or it it got as far as the pit Lane perhaps um potentially and it’s been released behind the get on to its group yeah which is an interesting one so that which would have been correct if the open series had actually been Le but of course they couldn’t be and the pit Lane was then open to allow the katrum loose that AB absolutely does make sense indeed that’s right it’s um it’s an old one that so we’ve got Dylan Popovich who leads the uh second grid who actually isn’t on my first grid let alone a split grid which is quite interesting so this is very con very confusing for us but we’ll see that 23 got here first which is Nathan wells in that beautiful spotless h 20 uh BMW a car uh which is an E46 GTR 3.2 L uh 6cylinder car and it’s dressed up in a uh an IMA Livery uh from the states it’s it’s a a tribute Livery the gr curst car that was on pole an E46 that’s in that stripe delivery which he’s a newcomer to the club now that’s a fantastic I believe they are actually res they are restoring the BMWs to or starting positions but they are actually going to build the grid behind the open series so that I wonder then they’re going to roll the open series cars up to the line are you sure that’s what’s going to happen uh Chris that makes that that makes far more sense than trying to get the BMWs to feret the way so we going have the car with the largest engine in the grid the 7 lit Chevrolet power Jetta no gr curst is now finding his way forward through yeah so have they decided to change their mind needs oh he can’t get past there there’s seven eight of a BMW wi between himself and the cater which is I think that’s Bruce Wilson in the 89 cater and he’s just about managed to get through without painting the wall with uh that very fetching libery well that theory is out of the window yes well unless he’s deciding to start up there and no now Nathan Wells is going forward he’s going to go forward onto the outside of the grid uh 76 there uh is Jason West in the black and orange car 44 predominantly yellow that’s uh oliv nees who made a really really good start x smgb uh racer ex Ellie xmg racer Oly nees uh and then we got the rest of them working their way through now the diet coke car and that Australian Livery of the Australian uh which is Dave Griffin uh that’s 43 he’s a lot of success in that car he has also raced an E90 uh as well with uh varing levels SC well I remember Dave on my very first visit here to thron actually managed to lose his driver’s door uh in a turn one incident um and continued and continued yeah I mean it was very heavily scrutinized quite correctly uh I was in pit Lane that day and I remember seeing basically every every scrutineer just had a look at the car and then I it was one of those moments markers when you know you look at something and you think am I actually seeing what my eyes are actually telling my brain and I had to look it start like that or as it shed that the 67 katrum he’s returning which I think where where that comes in that’s a car which is uh qualifying out of session for the Magnificent sevens I I suspect um and that uh has done another lap yeah so Darren mallack in this Al it’s now going to end of the pit Lan because that’s where he would have started originally so now because we’re reforming the grids in their original positions he can’t form behind the open series because that’s not where he would have started or Dar McCormack who races at in the castle GT series my other things he’s at the end of the pit Lane so he will join at the end um the BMWs and the BMW Mini there’s a so soless BMW Mini that group yeah John Wyatt the the jeweler in his uh gold car they are ready here we go again they’ve got a they’ got a lap on their tires well yes and the uh they won’t be they won’t be any more no but the open the open series drivers would have actually cooked by now so green flag lap so it’s a a one more warm-up lap just a tire and break warming lap as they come through no overtaking in theory you join uh the crocodile you run round keep your position uh within the grid and the vum open series cars go away veram Builders based um over Al Maron way between basing sto and reading and run by Rob Hardy who who races regularly uh with the cscc and I’ve been a a staunch and loyal supporter of the club for many a long year now uh Rob’s raced in uh bourch uh VW Golf GTI and other things over the years but great to see such a wonderful pack of these big beefy uh BMW e46s and e36s Chris absolutely so yeah um coming back to the Hardy family they they’ve got three cars currently that they’re running uh they uh they’ve brought the boxer with them which is nicknamed George um sorry that’s not nicknamed Bruce Bruce the boxer um they’ve got a 944 S2 that was formerly raced by David um that is p the Porsche uh which is currently I believe being rested was what they told me um and then Gordon the golfer is their latest addition to their Camp um yes it’s always lovely to to have a chat with the Hardy family when they are here and we look forward to seeing the boxer when it takes to the field a little bit later on but yes it such a great U you know array of different specifications engine sizes liveries that we’re seeing here the BMW uh BMW Championship being the uh inherited by the club it’s basically the leftover of sorts from the Kumo cup that’s new to CCC this year incidentally um among those BMWs you’ve got uh Matty Evans is number 62 the amazing uh 4 L V8 powered uh the Matty missile I nickname that certainly that’s there and also watch for Ben Pearson with the the m235 uh which is a car that won here um a couple of weeks ago uh with the um 750 motor club uh race meeting the Turbo Charge 3 lers 2 Series yes that’s new to the club this year yeah it’s a lovely car it’s beautifully turned out beautifully driven uh and super consistent it was a couple of weeks back U had no opposition whatsoever in romping to a couple of Victories Dylan popovic in that uh Janetta number nine the purple card as all Dylan’s cars have been for about the last 20 years um he start he he was actually eighth quickest in qualifying on a very Stout 120. 797 so he was only a couple of seconds away from the ultimate BMW Pace set by Graham curst who was a couple attempts ahead of Nathan wells in that H2 a the H2 Ben Pearson made a rocket of a start and is about fourth going into Allard in fact I think he’s third now on the exit of Allard round the outside Ben Pearson the white car with the black wings uh made an absolute flyer and indeed he’s third behind Wells and Crower Dives inside Welles they go really wide through Campbell into Cobb and side by side out front it’s crur and uh Wells Wells gets out over the curb on the outside and Ben Pearson is in third place and Pearson is absolutely charging he started down on the fifth row of the grid and he is already running in third place former Janessa racer and uh he’s absolutely on it he’s being a little bit eaten up I think in terms of power around the back there’s Matty evans’s car the black car the 62 with the bright yellow flashes uh up it but out front it’s Nathan Wells from Graham curst as they come up woodam hill for the first time into the club chicane Chris Nathan Wells has been driving that car for a few years now he’s under all kinds of pressure from curst it’s his it’s gr Crower first race with the club as well as say Brian brownson getting the tail very Lively coming through that final sheane he is under all kind of pressure from that number 25 which is Ben Pearson he’s up abut be flying from the start the three wide coming over the line so he just hit at that Roar it’s such a wonderful uh noise to hear uh either live or up here in the commentary box now the open series cars are coming passes olly Smith is absolutely flown away Ben Dylan popovic bogged down a little bit he’s back up in the second but now the field starting to establish its pecking order so far so good yeah Dylan’s car justes tend to come on strong in the back end I he did Spar a couple of weeks ago in that wow up into third place Brian bransom with the orange predominantly orange uh being BMW uh he’s a class leader ahead of Ben Pearson and Ben Pearson has his mirrors full now of Jason West uh in number 76 uh and then it’s James card in the hu card car absolutely so so now the pecking order starting to be established look at grus Brian bransom he along with his usual stable mate Jaz of sapra they are racing something BMW flavored somewhere every single week even he can keep up with the top two but look at this gr here absolutely incredible stuff yeah Nathan Wells leads from Gram kohur but three AR breast down the order and uh that was Michael vuli involved in all of that uh Ben Pearson uh is now in fifth place having been up to third on the early lap and you see Matthew Evans in the middle of your uh screens in that very distinctive car with the massive rear wing absolutely so now in the open group just coming past our position now is Oly Smith now under pressure by that beautifully growling Janetta of Dylan papovich then right behind them the number six BMW of Jonathan Strickland has one of the one of the KR I me you could also argue what doesn’t belong in this picture but Bruce Wilson is nailed to the back of that BMW but still the the BMW field are still all scrapping for their own bit of real estate yeah that’s absolutely right and there is the 25 car which is Ben Pearson and uh you can see that a modern uh 235 type car and that’s Michael vitulli going after him I think Paul Cook may have snuck past them in all of that but uh as they come back through fastest part of the circuit uh up woodam hill into the chicane you can see Matty Evans there in the 1M Coupe Pearson being edged out of that early start was kind of the natural pecking order is kind of reestablishing isn’t it Chris absolutely so that two series is so much a smaller car but God did it take off like an absolutely scaled cat and you Marty Evans starting near the back of the BMW field that’s an e92 engine he’s managed to somehow crowbar into that very tiny shell and go he’s beding it well but under pressure as they’re coming into c c z grave once more yes he’s got the torque hasn’t he in the middle of the complex there is the 62 car of Matty Evans and he’s going after Michael vuli who’s defending for all he’s worth here but yeah M Evans is having a really work hard to keep the keep his Chaser number 47 someone was squeeing away there as we heard but everyone seems to still be keeping their real estate to themselves now number 47 is n Bradley again even on the resty really bogged down really struggled to get that that e 46 up and going but up and going he is and now running well but obviously haven’t you know trying to make up for last time look at this for Julie Evans and Bradley still arguing Matty Evans now going for an outside line coming down to the chicane once again yeah he’s got the grun up the hill vuli will try to outbreak him into the corner but on the outside wow it’s n Bradley working his way back up through the order and uh n Bradley in the 47 the car that was very uh was very slow away or didn’t get away uh at the first attempt of the start is working his way through now and uh he’s well into his uh into his stride absolutely amazing stuff into C com here gra again you see Brady nearly getting into the Boop of M Evans a Evans is wrong footed there so is that an opportunity for B and know somehow that M Evans manages to close the door again just using that incredible Gran out of the corners to keep Bradley at Bay but it’s down the straights that that e92 just losing a little bit oh a bit of TIR smoke they’re bouncing on the suspension it’s a little shorter in the wheel base isn’t it as well so perhaps it’s not quite as stable around the really fast bits here at fron 2.35 6 Mi uh basic the same stretched ribbon of tarmac that it was when it was open for racing back in 1968 by Gram White and the British automobile Racing Club who are still based here certainly the club is headquartered here and look for the red car which is vuli and Pearson has got trouble on his hands as well because they’re working through way past the slower car from the open series uh Pearson stuck in uh behind oh that was a lock up there sorry Marcus who was that was locking up was a number 32 BMW that’s James guard that also races in classic Thunder saloons as well so used to racing yeah that was a big lock up coming into the Chang yeah out front still it’s Nathan Wells ahead of gram curst but we’re watching some of these superb battles uh in the lower part of the top 10 and we can see Matty Evans who’s running sixth in oh was that is that trouble for the number 44 looked very slow that was Oliver KN in that very brightly color BMW looks very very slow coming through Campell and SE gra we’ve lost him in the TV shot there is trouble for the 44 that slowed and uh the fact with this group of cars with Pearson you saw there who flirting in the grass that’s Adrien Bradley isn’t it in the the car that’s in the kind of Advan yokoh kind of Livery the red and black strobe effect and uh there’s there’s Evans finding a new playmate isn’t he it’s Paul Cook he closing in on in the number 27 slightly further down the road again and this this group just will not be separated this is absolutely superb this is why uh one of the reasons why I’ve been really looking forward to this weekend these grits are not disappearing oh Paul Clark he’s doing nothing wrong he’s just just wrong footed slightly coming into the Caine but with a lot of fast BMWs around him he had no choice if you’re the slower car it’s up to you to be predictable but he had absolutely nowhere to go but everybody navigated that particular incident perfectly well that big Porsche uh 928 GTS Cup car 5.4 L uh it’s a mey machine and uh uh they used to show a couple of them in the in the Porsche uh Championship but uh you don’t see them on track very often these days watching though the BMWs which dominate both numerically and in the front order here kind to see where um how far up the order um Dylan popovic got with the janeta he is currently I think he’s still actually up behind OE Smith so he’s second in the open categ he’s he’s shown us having been in the pits um pit sign for popovic so uh don’t see the car then might have ducked in and out potentially but he was still glued to the back of Oly Smith last I sorry I can see the number 44 car has come to rest uh out of Harm’s Way as much as he can do he couldn’t quite make it to the pit Lane with the number 44 uh BMW Oliver knes has brought the TN racing M3 E46 to rest on the outside of the circuits coming down towards the chain okay there our long shot into Campbell Cobb and Seagrave known as the complex and there is the 44 Oly nees abandoning ship they’ve managed to limp about 3/4 of a lap from where the the problem first struck R in that VW gol is going to get really popular really quickly in a minute because he’s got these BMWs oh squirming around him my goodness me someone’s had that bravery pills that’ll be Nile Bradley the 47 being chased by Paul Cook being chased by Matti Evans there he is in the e in the e92 oh Bradley back up into fifth place overall in the 47 and bear in mind he didn’t get away uh at that at the first attempt at the start he’s working really hard and we still have 9 and 1/2 minutes to go uh in this race and uh Nathan Wells our leader has been caught by Graham crur and all this it’s a it’s quite a long race 20 minutes round here it’s very very high speed it’s very tough mentally uh let alone physically on the drivers and uh being consistent being quick and consistent and steering clear of trouble when you come to lap slower cars uh are all keys to success in this type of races vuli with Pearson with Bradley is not far behind them either here the problem here and code 60 has been shown so and there there’s Marshal on track recovering the 44 you can’t overtake under he suddenly realized um I I believe that’s because there’s marshals on the track recovering the number 44 BMW of Oliver knes so uh we are not aware of any other stranded cars out there but for the Marshall safety no only two are shown as um uh as missing an action so to speak uh chrisp was pushed away at the start NES Who’s down below us um but we do have several drivers uh have incurred uh penalties for um things like Corner cutting uh that’s often one of them um one of them is our number 420 which is Kev Smith in the Honda Civic type art though not usually seen in the open series that is more New Millennium and tint Toops that guy is usually spotted but nothing prevents of of course taking party here also the 134 which is Richard Green in one of our catam uh catrin’s being reintroduced into the open Series this year um so that is the mor MC green sponsored catr 420 cars that run in the run in the Magnificent sevs another opportunity to race during the day a couple of times today green flag now um has been given so uh the problem down here has been sorted and well done the marshals for moving OE nees his car back behind the barrier that’s safely out of the way uh how’s that left them well it’s left them with nose to tail our leaders uh which are Nathan Wells uh in 23 uh and gram kohur in that strike 15 and u a color that BMWs ran at Lam more when Andy prio drove one back in the day Andy prio at that point was uh three time world touring car Champion one time European Champion he ran those stripes all over the cars then some some wag then put it on a Bentley for Bentley dri Club um Silverstone I would have thought that was before your time Marcus ah yeah so was no valari so there’s the leaders and they are absolutely nose to tail and the oh a bit crossed up was uh was our leader there that was Nathan wells in the immaculate H2O Car it is a fabulous Livery first saw it a couple of years ago uh dress like this and uh uh it’s uh it’s mighty the sound of those the induction Roar from those engines is very very Fierce they come back up to the the chicane stirs the soul doesn’t it oh again Nathan Wells getting really uncomfortable he’s wrong for through the chicane he’s run too wide and Crower break incredibly late on the outside and Wells tried to cover it um they’ve the status quo has been uh maintained just and here’s the rest and they’re getting having to wobble around the 420 there uh which is KB Smith and the Honda who’s trying uh to stay out of the way but it’s really for the quicker cars to find their way past safely oh again an an opportunistic move there from crur tried to get alongside and then hits the curb coming through the complex a little bit too hard that’s cost him a bit of momentum giving Nathan well some much needed breathing space yeah Evans is back up into third now as high as he’s been in this race but um he has a penalty showing against his number 62 and that could well dropping back because right behind we’ve got 47 which is uh Nile Bradley uh essaying to recapture his start position uh and Paul Cook uh is not very far behind nor is Brian Branson nor is uh uh Jason West so even something like a 10sec penalty would probably drop Matty Evans back four or five places uh in this race OE Smith meanwhile gone past in the first of the open series C from the veram builders open series so here they come then our leaders with 4 and a half minutes to go The Wider bodied car the uh uh E46 GTR of uh Nathan Wells is uh still holding sway uh up front grae curst hasn’t um hasn’t given up by any stretch of the imagination trying to get past there are parts of the circuit when where Crower is quicker Dave Griffin has dived into the pits and and uh he is uh into the Pet Lane meanwhile our leaders are working their way they’ve been through out towards uh Village and church they lap one of the katum sevens not a lot of urgency around uh Dave Griffin’s car it seems so again if you’re coming in on a non- pit stop race that does tend to be relatively terminal he was he was doing really well at Donnington recently and suddenly you saw some uh Vapor coming out of the car been a change here by the looks of things as gr crowhurst has got ahead it was a fuel system issue and they caught the caught and past the the 928 Porsche again and that really has hamstrung Nathan Wells and it’s thrown Graham curst a large lead he was ahead but it’s made now for a lead of uh over 2.3 seconds just one corner catching a a slower car and uh meanwhile Matty Evans uh in third place and Nile Bradley in fourth lot together and that’s didn’t look quite as urgent did it Nathan Wells I wonder whether he’s got a problem well it does look like he’ve been struggling to slow the car down or at least rotate it for a few laps now either the camera angle is kind of playing with us a little bit he does seem to be getting back up to speed again it could be he’s decided there’s not enough time left in this race so rather than push the car to Breaking Point bear in mind we will see this Grid or at least the surviving cars of it uh back out again for the seventh race of our nine race schedule for today so Nathan WS may be thinking I’ll settle for a second this time I’ll have you next time Gadget yeah well he’s chasing after Graham kohur who was quickest in on a one 18907 he’s on 18 336 in the race Wells was that quicker at won 17 very early on that’s nearly always when the best times are set on a clear track before get into laery Matty Evans is still fending off all the advances from Nile Bradley in the 47 car he probably doesn’t know he’s got that uh penalty hanging over him like a sword of demle well he’s uh he’s driving he’s driving as if he’s stolen the thing I mean he built it obviously but Matti Evans has driven some fabulous Machinery Lambo as well he’s over the years isn’t he but it’s interesting that um he’s he’s battling there with that and they’re pulling away from BR Branson uh and Jason West but theyve got a good good Gap then to Michael vuli down in Pearson going slowly Ben Pearson uh he’s struggling now yeah we saw him going slowly earlier on but then he picked up the pace again and again it looks like a similar issue where he suddenly goes slowly and then it starts to pick up again goes into kind of a limp mode doesn’t it yeah you can’t control or delete whilst you’re racing well certainly inadvisable in the last 3/4 of a minute or so they’re going to get one more lap after this one by the looks of things because there are still just over 30 seconds on the clock as BR crowhurst threads the stripy uh BMW he 46 M3 through into Allard Nathan Wells still going off oh mat Evans has just had to cut the chicane so again apologies for cutting you off there got really got really skew whiff didn’t he the middle of it he’s lost out to uh that was Ronan Bradley he was actually trying to avoid and he’s lost he’s lost the position to uh to the other one to The [Applause] Bradley I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of that noise that noise just stirs the soul it’s super PAB it is just brilliant and uh we see there’s Nathan West taking a lot of speed to go past the uh the lp cars here cing that’s amazing army green uh golf which is that of Boss Irvine isn’t it number 31 is indeed we’ll see that car along with several of these cars will be uh out in slick series later on today that’s our fourth race of the schedule so 2.7 seconds first to second last time through the Pearson car is still hobbled but is going to get to the finish at least be classified uh there though is gr kroer threading his way through the chicane and uh he comes through and takes the checkered flag uh Kev Smith was alongside him whether he thought the checken flag um whether he got one more lap to go think he might might just have done I thought he was breaking in order to not do well I think he’s achieved that because he’s shown as having been lapped so uh yeah Nathan wells in second place uh Bradley uh number 47 that’s uh Nile Bradley in third place fourth Brian Branson fifth uh is Jason West and sixth Matti Evans uh I think with that penalty probably penalty applied yeah yeah uh behind then will be Michael guli um and then it is James card uh behind them Paul Cook uh and the next of the Bradley which is the 612 car of Adrien Bradley well it’s not a bad way of opening today’s scorecard is it Marcus absolutely cracking what a what a great race that was um there may well be one or two changes to that order once penalties have been applied and uh judicial are sorted out uh but at the end of the day we saw some great BMW racing from the ramir BMW Championship fean Builders open series competitors shortly we’re going to get the uh provisional results I stress they are going to be provisional as the field work their way back towards the pit Lane Kieran McGinley will hopefully be able to pick up our top three finishes which will be curst West and for Bradley with penalties applied there we go then gr curst wins it in 15 from Nathan Wells a class winner and 47 mile Bradley in third another class winner 26 Brian bransom in fourth fifth Jason west 76 F Matty Evans in 62 another class winner 89 Michael Puli 32 James card was 8 ninth 27 Paul Cook 10th was 612 which is Adrien Bradley 11th OE Smith who won the open series section uh 12th of 25 the aen Ben Pearson 13th Ronan Bradley in 78 and 14th number six another class winner which is Jonathan Strickland uh then we go back to uh Bruce Wilson in 189 Darren McCormack in 67 who started from the back 17 is John Wyatt uh he finished in 17th Place 18th was the to and Becket car at 19th with 134 Richard green 20th Clinton Yan 21st Ross Irvine in the golf 22nd Adrien Clark in the Porsche number 911 though it’s a 928 seven Martin Dolan ji Kari 82 Kev Smith in 420 I think they’re the last of the finishers because Dave Griffin had pitted Dylan popovic uh had pitted and we also lost Ole nees in 44 who pulled off at the chic so that’s the provisional result then for our first race of the nine today the the One race that takes place before the uh the Marshall’s lunch break and uh hopefully we’re going to catch up with the top three in the park F uh with Kieran McGinley so they’re working their way then through the pit Lane towards the sort of rostrom area and there’s a lot of them they’re still going look at that there’s some there’s some fabulous Hardware out there Chris absolutely so and uh it’s amazing that we can get to to combine uh one of one of these one of the newcomer categories to the club the BMW Championship um we’ll we will be seeing another newcomer to this field that uh a little bit later on this afternoon but Kiera McGinley has found some people to talk to well we’re live in the pit Lane then after that very first opening race and it’s greme curst that came out on top I believe he’s just behind me having his debrief but the team were all punching in Delight I’m sure you saw let’s see if we can jump in and see if we can have a chat here to gram crur gram is that where did greme go where did he go oh there he is Graham congratulations you’re I mean we you came over the line punching the air with delight I mean your team had congratulated you how was it out there it was a great you had there with Nathan I mean honestly I cannot describe the week I’ve had the engine wasn’t in it on Tuesday um thanks to M Auto Services for all the help we’ve had overfueling problems I was on the dno yesterday thinking I’m not going to make it so I was defy with two finishes today so this is just I’m yeah lost for words yeah and and obviously you get another chance of going out later on today so we get to hopefully get make that two out of two what do you reckon to that well I mean we’ll give it a go we we me and Nathan seem to have some good Pace over the others I don’t know if anything happened um but yeah I mean Nathan kind of gifted me to a touch but you got to be there to uh to pick up the pieces so uh I mean I tell I just want to I’m not going to name everyone but thanks to everyone who’s helped this week because uh I wouldn’t be here without any of them it was a slightly fraed start because obviously we had that delayed start but then you and Nathan went side by side into turn one I mean talk us through that very first lap I mean I’m glad we got a restart um so uh yeah I’m glad we got the restart but um yeah Nathan went with me around the outside I think and I just thought stick with him I mean ultimately me and Nathan aren’t racing in class um so I just wanted to make sure the class bees didn’t get up to me and then once we got away I thought yeah let’s let’s go and then I just thought I’m better under the breaks than than him so I thought there might be a chance and then he went on the grass at church and that was that was the only invitation I needed and seal that one go gr congratulations go and celebrate with your team I know you’ve been waiting for that one congratulations very much cheers let’s have a trck to our second place drive then let’s see if we can find Nath Wells out there there he is Nathan Nathan congratulations second place I mean you and gram we’re just talking to gram there about what a great battle you two had I mean talk to us from your point of view um yeah it’s good fun I I kind of got a good start and then you know had a bit of a gap building started losing back out a bit on the traffic and then um yeah I besides getting B hot and I made a mistake at church ran wide gr got through and then yeah couldn’t get back on terms with him so yeah congrats to him it was a good good drive from Graham to do that but I’ve just found out that I got to go see the Clark for a code 60 issue so a second place as well she well look let’s say for now you’ve got it so let’s let’s talk about that for now it means a great battle between you two especially into turn one we got a second bite of the Cho for that restart yeah the first restart went better uh for me but you know I was actually quite happy with both starts because my car’s got very long first gear it’s a sequential gear box so usually standing starts do not go well for me I tend to lose about two or three places every time so the fact that actually managed to jump a car this time is is a result for me first time that’s ever happened so yeah happy with that well great stuff we’ll see about later on if you haven’t been summoned by the clock I better let you go so uh yeah good luck with that thanks very much cheers no problem we’re second place for now there for Nathan WS let’s see if we can find NY Bradley uh let’s see oh Nile come over here Nile well you’ve been promoted up to third place then overall after penalties I mean how are you feeling did you realized when you cross the line no I didn’t actually no I fell back uh on the start uh yeah just getting used to this clutch first standard start so we went to Pure last or last and then uh next thing they done a red flag so I was thinking wait we might do a regret so I get a second go at it and I still lost places but yeah I loved it it was brilliant race brilliant race really fast first time I’ve ever done the track so yeah loving it loving it first time you’ve ever been on the track and you’ve got a Podium overall so second race later on expectations maybe yeah we’ll definitely be pushing if I could just get the thing off the line yeah there’s more to come there’s definitely more to come we’ll see if you get a second bite of a chariot a restart I’m not sure though but uh maybe we’ll we’ll never know yeah yeah we’ll never know is right we’ll soon find out thank you well no thank you very much congratulations on your Podium overall and let’s see if we can have a class winner uh this will be for the open series with Oliver Smith fun enough he’s actually driving a BMW but let’s gloss over that Oliver congratulations class Victory how was that out there because you had a opening good battle with Dylan popovic but unfortunately he retired yeah it was good fun yeah enjoyed dcing with him he’s a good driver so it’s nice to be able to be really really close but know that you know you can both just have a good hard race but yeah it’s a shame he retire but yeah I enjoyed it was good yeah and of course we’ve had some spits out there obviously very very minor obviously nothing to affect the track from your point of view no it was bone dry yeah I mean okay so after that Dylan popovic retirement it seemed like you you had a bit of a time of your own out there uh yeah I was just driving around on my own for the most part which is brilliant really you know that that’ll do yeah it’s your own personal time trial session isn’t it pretty much yep yeah it’s ideal so what’s what’s the aim then for the second session obviously you’ve got to go for another win that’s got to be the obvious statement I’d like to try hopefully Dylan can sort his Janetta out and I can have a bit of a dice with him but yeah that that’ be nice yeah great stuff and let’s let’s gloss over the fact that you won in a BMW in the open series and we’ve got BMWs here as well they’re too fast for me that’s why I went in the open well at least you’re honest Oliver congratulations on the class Victory uh so that is our top three an a class Victor there uh we are going to go into our uh lunch break right now and what that means is we get to have a little bit of a walk up and down the paddock so if you come and follow me we’ll see if we can uh find anybody out there who we can have a chat to because of course we have the one lunch before the uh the one lunch before the race break the One race before the lunch break uh so this gives us an opportunity now to uh see if we can pop our head in and see who we can find to stick a microphone under noses uh that is of course if the drivers themelves haven’t cleared off and gone for lunch themselves uh I’ll see who I can pop a uh pop a microphone under actually I tell you what John Wyatt uh the car in front of us here uh in the number 17 BMW Mini Cooper S I’ll see if I can just have a a microphone under John’s nose he might be moving off very shortly John uh how was that first race for you there brilliant I enjoyed every minute it was really good really really enjoyed it it was a good fun it was very very intense there was a uh we’re getting battered around the track and obviously the faster cars are coming through but it was good really good fun really enjoyed it and uh good lap time as well so I’m very happy yeah and that’s something to take into the second race later on today sort what what lessons have you learned from the first race uh I need to get an M3 that’s it that’s really it got to get much faster car but this one it was done as a bit of fun and it’s I’ve really enjoyed it yeah yeah great well M3 on the wish list then but for now you’ve got your mini how is it out there oh brilliant fantastic handles L A Dream handles lot a dream it’s a great we’re hoping for rain this afternoon then we really have some fun well we’ll see if your wish comes through thank you very much John we’ll let you get back on to your lunch break thank you very much John and uh let’s just see if we can oh can we have a chat to Bradley before he moves off no I think he’s focused there is he stopping is he he is gonna stop I don’t I don’t believe this people don’t normally stop for me this is um the 612 here uh Bradley um Bradley how are you out there how was it out there you’re sweating a little bit yeah very tough very tough enjoyable first time I’ve been here so I’ve got uh yeah two races with ram and then one with a slicks today but it’s a tough circuit hard to learn but it’s good good fun always a battle out there it’s always good it’s a lot of high speed not a lot of breaking points how’s that in the in this car for you yeah that’s that’s that’s a hard bit just carrying the speed like learning every lap and just trying to keep out of trouble and no it’s it’s a good circuit it’s just it’s just tough to learn there no rest it’s go go go for the whole race so obviously your first outing out there for the first ever time what what what do you what lessons do you take into the second race later today um I don’t know just just just keep learning it really you you have to link pretty much every Bend together to get it right and you get you think you’ve got one R it overcooks the next one and then your messes up your Breaking Point your turning point so it’s just a matter of just keep repeating it and keep hopefully getting quicker and quicker with a bit that I’ve got quicker every time so I’ve been out two qualifiers in one run and I’ve gone quicker every time so hopefully by the end of the day I might be all right so let’s see how we going in your second race there we’ll look forward to see you out there thank you very much for the chat enjoy your lunch break and uh oh yeah uh oh well we’ve got no one else here I tell you what though we do have a marshall we’ll let uh we’ll let this red BMW head on way and we’ll see if we can have a chat to a marshall because of course without our Marshals here we cannot go racing it’s as simple as that excuse me sir could we have a chat to you on Alpha live um yes so you’re Marshal here is that correct I am yes and uh so obviously you’re here in the the uh in the assembly area what’s your role for today I’m part firmat today um so our role today is after a batch has gone out we bring them back into park F to complete the safety checks before they’re released back amongst the public great stuff and and can I ask how long have you been marshalling 25 years okay so I’ve got to ask you then in those 25 years what’s sort of like the best Machinery you’ve you’ve been able to get up close and personal to um I I think some of the early early early Mercedes at Goodwood that I’ve dealt with have been some of the most impressive I hate to say it’s a foreign car but it’s certainly the most impressive and of course sir Sterling and John certies and working with people of that era and Jerry so yes yes that was a big big era for us and what was your sort of inspiration to sort of go marshalling what what was what was the sort of key moment for you uh I think probably um we used to bring the children up here for birthdays instead of having party and when they got to 15 and you had to start paying for everybody we all started marshalling that’s great I love that um obviously what was your background before you you did Marshall um workwise I’m bank manager retired now but I was a bank manager so so you went from dealing with money to dealing with with cars and and drivers yep yep that’s great stuff well I’ll let you go and enjoy your lunch break because this is your lunch break as well but thank you so much for the chat no problem thank you thank you very much and of course without our Marshals we just cannot go racing so we do thank them profusely uh for volunteering their time uh to allow us to hold these races and go racing uh we’ve actually got as well um we’ve got a couple of cars that are actually about to head out and it looks like it’s going to be some uh experience laps here uh as they’re in for pumers but the one at the front there I don’t know if you can catch that Lamborghini whoever’s in that Lambo uh I’m very jealous only very only very jealous uh let’s see then uh if we can come back down the pit Lane because that is where our Jaguars and MGS are based for the day so they’re going to be the easiest to have a chat to when we get out there beep of the horn from The Experience laps then all in for pumis yeah I’d love to be able to just jump in that although uh there’s a reason I’m behind a microphone and not behind a wheel but there we go sorry a behind the camera is really desperately trying to keep up with me I do apologize but yeah we’ll have a look down the uh down the pit Lane and see what we go go for there and we’ll callor some drivers out of the pit Lane of course this is uh technically their lunch break but uh oh I’ll just barge in and and shove a microphone under their nose I’m sure they’ll be fine with it they’ll get over it they love the attention really um but what a great first race we had what didn’t we it was brilliant uh great battle up at the front up at the lead there uh we’ve got the mg there Tyler ballad in the number one car uh so let’s see if we can have a stick ahead through uh and see if we can have a chat to Tyler ballad it’s just outside have we got the D have we got a drive-in would you mind having a chat to us Tyler the only problem is we uh we lose the sign Tyler is it good to meet you Tyler Kieran from alpha live we live right now so watch the language uh right we’ve got the mgzr here from college Motorsports uh and you’re in the number one now did you choose the number one or did you get give the number one given it last year yeah we enough after many years of trying to finally win the championship so yeah I’ve I’ve earn that number one put it that way so uh yeah I’m going to use it for the rest of the Year great stuff and okay so let’s have a chat about the mg what’s the story behind your z r uh well that one was obviously uh straight off the road built into a race car and that’s the third car we’ve had and we’ve had some big damage over the years but yeah that’s the third car that’s sort of done three seasons now but um yeah it’s it’s pretty much a standard Road car so obviously a few changes to the engines and suspension but other than that it’s uh a cheap way into motorsport for people absolutely and that’s pretty much what club Motorsports really should be I mean you’re up against the Jags as well today it might not be a fair contest but then again you’re not in the same class anyway so it doesn’t really matter but uh how is the mg out there at Thruxton oh it’s brilliant yeah it’s probably one of my favorite tracks obviously we’ve never been here um I think the last time the championship came here was 2011 so yeah pretty fortunate to come here because there’s not many championships to get to race here is there so but yeah I really really like it really really like it yeah there’s a lot of high speed we’ve already said to other drivers that just come off the circuit not many break breaking points I mean it’s it’s a big way to actually it seems like it’s an easy circuit but it’s definitely not no it’s definitely it’s definitely very hard to learn there’s a lot of time to find it’s very bumpy but um yeah when you string a lap together it’s uh really enjoyable so we just have to see what the race holds I mean yeah I mean there’s not so many cars as we’d like but it’s still uh yeah still up for a chance of a good race so and I just see the sun’s just trying to peek through is that is that a good thing for you or a bad thing I’m not bothered personally I I used to quite like the rain but um either way just come with it don’t you really yeah you do indeed well Tyler thank you so much for having the chat to us and good luck for the rest of the day we’ll have a chat to I’m sure we’ll see if we can have a chat to Tyler later on down the line uh let’s have a look and see who’s in the next garage along it’s another mg and it’s Matt Harvey that’s the number 20 so that’s the DMG RS and itch racing with daytom Motorsport have we got the uh the driver in there Matthew would you mind popping out here it’s just we lose the signal if we go into the garages Matthew Matt how how are you yeah not bad how are you yes not too bad at all I mean you’ve been out there already today how is how is the mg out there mg feels good yeah I didn’t get a really good lap in qualifying I um couldn’t find a bit of space and then right towards the end I had to avoid a rather spinning Jag and ended up flat spotting a tire and going off into the grass so um kind of cut my session a bit short but hope to be a bit quicker in the race yeah obviously a little bit of time to make up then in the race but uh what What’s your sort of Target for the races today well well win would be given it that would be nice wouldn’t it yeah I don’t know really um I’ve never been here before so it’s for qualifying was the first time out on track which was for a track like Thruxton is quite scary because quite fast Corners this seems to be a common theme quite a few drivers I’ve spoken to already today say this is their first time here yeah and weirdly this is my like local track as well because I’m from Somerset so but I’ve never been here so um yeah it’s a lot of learning going on but um should be good fun if I can keep with the guys at the front and then maybe try and pick anyone off then that would be great but yeah see how we go and let’s have a chat about the mg itself what’s what’s the history behind your car here um so this car was built in 2021 I think as um a class C car which is like a basically a road car with a roll cage and um we bought it off of another competitor who was moving back to carting and then last year converted to a class B which so we get coilovers get to um bit more power and that and a lot more competition it’s pretty much class everyone races in so um yeah we’ve been running around with them uh it’s been going quite well to be fair doing all right Al part last last time out it was really good for us we got two3 and we’re right on the pace as well which has been pretty much the first time I’ve been up there which has been great it was really good fun well let’s hope it’s not the only time Matt let’s hope we get you up there uh today but thank you so much for having to chat to us and uh we’ll leave you to uh I mean debrief brief brief yeah whatever we’re doing I mean it’s not long until we’re out for our race now don’t no no it’s not yeah getting ready for that now so great stuff we’ll leave you to your pre-race prep thank you for talking to us Matt thank you Matt Harvey there in the number 20 look out for that black and red mg then and oh I’ve been I’ve been summoned and we have a driver here who have we got here this is James Blake James how did I guess that James welcome along another mg yeah uh I’ve got to ask this because the last two drivers I’ve spoken to have said this is their first time to thron is this your first time to thron it’s a first time racing here yeah did a did a track day in the week just to learn the circuit and uh really enjoyed it so can’t wait for the race really yeah a lot of drivers have been saying it’s their first time here but they’ve really enjoyed it what’s the sort of Allure about Thruxton oh just going round and you know we we came here in the week and it’s just just around the back it’s just so fast you know and then it’s just around Church you just uh going faster and faster and you just don’t normally get the car feeling in the same way where it’s maxed out and you just have to be brave and turn it in so yeah don’t get that some of the other circuit I’ve been to most of the circuits but never had this uh sort of sensation no it’s great I mean uh the clouds are gathering I mentioned this already but uh is that a good thing for you it stays dry or you hoping for maybe doing a rain dance maybe soon well let’s say being a bit new here I think I’d just keep it simple and hope for Hope for some dry weather you know if it rains it rains but yeah some some dry weather be my preference I think and obviously let’s have a chat about your mg here uh what What’s the history for it it’s four higher yeah so this car is um for higher from mych racing I got Chaz rolls here he’s he’s the engineer guy that runs itch racing uh so I’ve been I’ve known him for 10 years been racing at cak and a car that he’s built separate to this um in the Caston saloons another ZR um this car uh was built and available for hire so I just jumped at the chance to you know get in there we did I think we did all last year we’re hoping to do all of this year you know Don turn snet turn Silverstone you know watching watching touring cars on the Telly and you go you know when I was younger and then to actually be doing it now you know it is a you know I’m very lucky to be able to do this so it’s yes get get get on and do it while I can really yeah absolutely savor it I mean what’s the sort of realistic Target for yourself today then well I think with with the spots of Ranger and qual you know that sort of I didn’t want to um you know go chance at too much in quality so I think there’s a little bit more to come I think so where we are in the class I think there’s five or six guys in the race so you know there’s there’s no slouches so we’re hoping to you know stay where we are maybe get get two more places if we’re lucky but yeah we’ll see what happens great stuff thank you for the chat James and uh good luck with your pre-race rep and obiously the race we look forward to you soon now I’m getting word there we’ve got someone in the uh assembly area who’s just been in the Lamborghini bill I think his name is producer did tell with a name and I’ve forgotten the last name but his name is Bill uh Bill Tunes there we go thank you producer Tunes to cumes cumes I’m getting that name wrong I will get it right eventually kums ah Bill kums there we go sorry yes I’ve had to be shown there we go these these radios eh these radios I’ll blame the radios not me it’s never my fault uh yes we have Bill kums who is in the Lamborghini or was in the Lamborghini and I believe this is Bill here Bill uh welcome along I mean Lamborghini at Thruxton not to say I’m very jealous but I am very jealous how was it out there yeah very good sadly I didn’t get to drive the Lamborghini the uh the circuit manager I think Pat was in that one so uh so I was driving one of the Pumas which was uh which was fantastic fun first time I’ve ever driven those so it was quite entertaining first first lap round but you know it’s it’s having driven a million laps around here over the years it comes back very quickly oh absolutely I mean how is it out there I’ve got to ask uh circuit looks fantastic um you know Pat’s done a great job of presenting the circuit it’s a lovely meeting this the CCC meeting it’s you know you have some some very interesting cars uh driving around in the various races um and you know they’ve got character you know they’re old school so so they’ve you know they’ve got characters so they’re it’s not like a one make formula or anything you’ve got some got some in interesting stuff up there and lots of History absolutely and speaking of History then i’ I’ve got to put you on the spot is is there any cars around here you’ve seen in particular that really caught your eye uh do you know to be honest so so you know being being retired now I don’t I didn’t arrive ever so early and um and I’ve been uh I’ve been chatting to to uh to Ben Taylor and and a few other guys so I’ve had quite a social morning and then got roped into doing doing the rides which which I’m delighted to do because it’s great it’s great fun I haven’t really had a good look around the paddock yet but I’m sure some of the Camaros and the Mustangs and things I I’ll be yeah anything with a big old V8 in would be Prett be pretty good that’s for sure absolutely I’m being reliably inform that you were the ex CEO here um is that right uh yeah so I uh I first came here in 79 for the race school um so did a race School course uh I was then obviously racing driver and instructor here for years uh then took over running the school in 90 in ’92 you what’s now the experience Center and then I was circuit director here from 2012 to 2019 when I retired so uh so uh and it’s lovely to see it all you know going from strength to strength these days you know it’s uh you know lots of people you know great racing you know it’s a yeah it’s it’s it’s still got that old feel but you know friendly feel which is which is very nice still got that old school character but you know with all the modern facilities that you can see with things like the thron center now obviously having being a the CEO here there is there a favorite corner or a favorite section of this track that that has a special place in your heart yeah it’s always got to be Church Corner because it’s the you the fastest corner anywhere um you I used to I was fortunate enough to race the old historic Formula 1 cars and you know even you know Corners like o Rouge and things you know Church corner here is faster so uh you know it’s an equal Challenge and and there aren’t very many of those old school Corners left anymore um so it’s uh yeah that that that’s got to be my favorite fast Corners are always good we’ve got plenty of them here at thron haven’t we yes we have yeah yeah yeah yeah it’s so good you know so flowing around the back um and each of the corners is is really challenging uh but you know there’s nothing quite like going around the sequence at the back back here where you know you get a real there’s a lot of time to be gained or lost and one gets a you real sense of satisfaction if you’ve done a good job and and it’s all come together well great stuff Bill lovely to have a chat to you enjoy the rest of your day and make sure you do pick up a favorite car thank you I will I will to be assured of that great stuff thank you Bill Bill KS there the former CEO of Thruxton I’m being told and in fact I can see into the assembly area that we have some uh some arrivals and I don’t know if they’re early but I know we don’t have a lot of time left so if I’m going to get some interviews it needs to be soon I’m being told I haven’t got long at all so I’m going to see if I can have the number four now I was told it’s m Ellis on the side which covers both Martin and Matthew and uh we’ll have a chat here I’m going to I’m going to take a guess is this your car sir oh okay your safety car driver well well you’re pretty good then I mean we’ve already seen you in action and qualifying today uh what’s the difference with really safety car driver what’s some tips you can give us well you got to behave yourself out there obviously and not doing anything stupid um and just do what they tell you in the tower really so do do what they tell you do you have a favorite radio station you get a chance to listen to the radio St afraid not no no it’s all listen to race control and uh they keep us controlled and what speed they want us to do and so when people are behind us saying come on speed up it’s not down to us it’s the guys that are running the race so um yeah it’s we we’re basically at their command all the time so it’s a bit of a mixed bag though because you want to do the most amount of laps out there but but that means something has had to have happened out on tracks it’s a bit bit of sweet yeah exactly I mean it’s nice to get out and do a lot of laps but obviously it’s if someone’s broken down and parked in the wrong place that’s fine as long as one gets hurt it’s a good day isn’t it yeah absolutely it is well we better vacate here because we’re right in a position spot but it’s been great to chat to you thank you very much take care you too and we’ve got Danny Holmes who’s just pulled up uh Danny Morris sorry in the Holmes racing perso who’s just pulled up there and of course now he’s going to Reser reverse into back into his uh dummy grid position and I’ll just keep my wits about me just to make sure I uh don’t get keeled over uh but we’ll see if we’ve got enough time to just quickly uh stick a microphone under Dan ‘s nose there and we’ll see if we can have a chat to him he’s talking to his Engineers there uh we’ll see if we can just have a pop in there oh Danny see me now he’ll he’ll Retreat quite quickly Danny have you got a quick quick minute to chat certainly PA position then how’s that feeling well can’t get any better than that can it yeah very happy with that um although some I think some of the competition had some problems but no at the end of the day yeah very pleased with uh getting po don’t off and get po so so i’ I’d ask you what the target is but I think that’s a pretty obvious answer isn’t it well Target is always the Finish that’s the main thing uh very delicate car so and uh very expensive so main main objectives to finish and if we do well brilliant great stuff good luck out there Danny and uh we’ll see how you get on then in the next race and uh of course now we’ve got the combination out I’m being ushered out of the way because uh we’ve got cars coming through which obviously means now we should probably go into our next race which is future Classics and the mod [Music] Sports thank you Kieran uh struggling with your words there but uh we blame the heat it is very very warm down there yes so the break is done and the next race of the day first for this particular pair of grids will be forming you saw they were just gathering in the holding area behind Kieran McGinley so this is the advantage Motorsport future Classics so cars of the 70s will be joining the JMC that’s John Cocker’s racing outfit the JMC racing special salons and mod Sports you want to talk about an Eclectic mixture of cars look no further than this grid alone we have got some fantastic Machinery we’ve got some fantastic Machinery across the board in all of our categories here today but something rather spe rather special in the special saloons and mod Sports so when we get some uh when we get the grd available we’ll talk through there we did see Kieran talking to Danny Morris in the pjo 309 GTI the turbocharge two lead car uh Danny and his late late brother Ricky Parker moris Ricky in particular was very popular in the the special saloons of M Sports scene he’s dearly missed and you know Danny’s still racing in his memory and doing particularly well getting that beautiful Porsche Porsche no Perse right letter uh onto the front row there we go we can see some of the the mixture of cars so on the screen at the moment you can see the number 70 car on the on the right hand side of the shot that is Stuart durn who is our lead qualifier for the future Classics category that is his Battleship Gray uh TVR tusin alongside him is Paul Dolan in the number 26 Lotus Alan not many Lotus alans will look like that let’s be quite honest a twole car uh he’s also raced a sorry also races a BMW 325 E30 and previously a bmwe E21 323 along with the for pummer along with the tri of T8 what a mixture from Paul Dolan this is the first outing of the special salons of M Sports grid so he gets to ride the very fetching orange and black striped Lotus Lan next to him is the number four Lotus to the toet Sunbeam Lotus the Ellis and the Ellis pairing that is Martin and Matthew Ellis uh dad and lad combination father Martin will be taking that car in this race and then son Matthew will be having a go when we see this grid come back out for race number six in today’s festivities 300 horsepower uh Point CNC sponsored tobert Su stet Sunbeam lootus even I’m tripping over my word up in the commentary Tower and then on the left hand side of that particular shot you saw Craig Percy in the number 16 Morris Miner now there are not many Morris miners in the world that have a 6.2 L V8 under the right foot but that is exactly what uh Craig Percy is sporting and again a a regular in the special salons and mod Sports classes so generally pushing towards the top 10 in that Morris Miner uh that’s an ex police car was originally built uh by Chris Isaac uh and then Craig pery purchased that particular car at quite a few years back now as the camera now looks at some more wonderful examples of some of the so there you can see actually see the knows the Maro there on the the right hand side of the shot right next to the number 76 Golf that is uh Dean Clayton the westex packaging uh 2 L he used to drive uh BMW Mini Cooper R50 similar size car but not quite the same shape so the number 76 car will be starting in 13th Place the nose of the Kamar you can just see on the right hand side of the shot is anex thisle which is a name I know I’m going to trip up over over the course of the broadcast so the number 68 car a gorgeous shev camar that was last last I saw that was it was blue so been relived hasn’t come out to play for a few years 2018 was the last time we saw Alex in a Camaro but he comes out to play in this wonderful example and then the center stage in this particular shot is Darren clayden in the 351 Porche 944 S2 K is put pushed for quite a few years next along is that motal Livery that beautiful BMW from Jamie stures that’s the M 535 IE 28 three three I knew I get that wrong 3.4 l beautiful example there from Jamie Sturgis and then it is the 184 golf uh Tim Maul is sporting that’s another one of our special cind mod sports cars now I had a mark one Golf and he’s sure as hell didn’t not look like that these are not taking to the grid as you might imagine um thrs and circuit of course being an Airfield so it is able to land light aircraft some wonderful examples that are taking in some of the Sun and why not it’s not a bad place to what’s the racing from here’s our front row actually of the special saloons of mod Sports so you can see Danny Morris’s car there it is the number 309 the Holmes racing or Spirit of RPM car then you have turbo Tom carry that’s it says Honda CRX there ain’t a lot of Honda under that skin let’s be quite honest and then the 175 car that’s Andy southcot the mg Lenin again very little actually mg under that skin um and they used to race with his son Chris they used to have a pair of those um South gotot Jr going on to race Hondas uh these days but uh Andy still pedling the 175 car didn’t have a chance to have a chat with Andy um that’s a voxal red top engine under the under the right foot of that 175 car uh originally from Southampton and that car weighs around about 500 kg it’s about light enough to put in your pocket there’s the other toet Sun notice for those watching the stream the number 63 car so that is uh Jeff Jeff Beal so that car was built by tobert specialist Phil Seaman um Phil did share that car with Jeff be originally but now Jeff has been pedaling that car very very successfully in future Classics for a number of years now taking Center Stage this wonderful Astro GTE uh owned by the club chairman John hamersley that car is actually for sale so uh those that are wanting to put their hand in the pocket may be having a go at a car that has been very successful in these parts by all means have a chat to John hamersley now I’m going to have to make a bit of a confession here all of us commentators we do our best to remain impartial but we are human and there are cars that we are partial to and I will hold my hands up that that we can see in the center of the shot is one of my favorites the number 17 the Daran Wildcat Ian Hall has been driving this car for a very long time indeed he started racing Motorsports back in the 1960s and he is commonly paired with Jim Seward uh who is also on the grid uh where is Jim starting in the uh trif tr8 somewhere down in 24th uh was Jim and Ian actually owns the engine of both of those cars so uh Ian Hall a very successful engine builder and that car has absolutely glorious it will shake the Earth from under your feet that Daran Wildcat um again has been very successful in special saloons and multip in for quite some times a 6 L engine under his right foot there’s that motor Livery BMW Jamie Sturgis there’s again a lovely example there the VW Golf Tim Mall 188 so the next BMW in line that’s the nardon family uh Christian and lucard donate sharing that one then the number 97 Ray Barrow he’s had that sh Lake kamaru for a number of years and a Rover sd1 joins us on the grid Jerry bayy uh in that car first time we’ve seen a Rover in a long long time in the classic sports car club but this is a real example of The Eclectic mixture of cars age ranges of cars as well that we can enjoy here at the cscc that on stream will not qualify however there is not a category for aircraft uh nor nor is there a category for Recovery Vehicles however enough of that we have got a grid to run through from top to bottom and there’s a lot of them there’s 32 cars to run through in this grid so let’s have a look then who will start at the front as mentioned is Danny Morris in the 309 pjo alongside turbo Tom KY in the number 31 Honda CRX Road two is Andy South guard in the mg Lenard alongside Stuart dber in his TV tuska Row three is Paul Dolan and then the Matthew and Martin Alis tobert sunby Motors car number four starting in six position next up is Craig Percy in the number seven uh sorry number 16 marus Miner alongside the number 17 of Ian Hall in the Daran Wildcat row five is the number 56 G Tony Maran in the Porche 944 alongside the 63 of Jeff Beal in his to Sun lotes row six number 68 is Alex th th in the Chevrolet kamaro the 5.7 ler version alongside number 76 Dean Clayton in the VW to [Music] golf next row is the next clayon number 351 Darren clayon his Porsche 94 4s2 alongside Jamie sturis in the number 87 of BMW 535 E28 row eight is Tim Maul in the 184 VW mark1 Golf alongside the nardon pairing in the 188 BMW that’s the 325 ie3 row 9 is number 97 Ray Barrow in the Chevrolet Lake kamaru his 5.7 ler monster alongside the6 John hamersley the in his Vox asra GT row 10 number one 122 is Jerry Bailey in the Rover sd1 as previously mentioned alongside number 86 Colin Claxton in his Ford Escort row 11 number 10 is Thomas Henry in the bmwe e338 318 is alongside the next Glon Claxton 8 for David Clon in his Triumph doite Sprite don’t be fo that is a 2 L turbo engine under his right foot that will punch above its weight and then next up is the number 89 trium TR7 V8 Jim seaward alongside number 65 Steve Fray in the Ford Mondo row 13 number 60 is Paul Turner in the Suzuki SC 100 alongside of the 166 the brain and Thomas pairing in the Alpha Romeo 1750 GTV row 14 number 170 is Donald DW in the VW Golf gtk GTI mark one alongside the 501 Alex child in his Alpha Romeo 105 GT Jr rad 15 number 49 is Matt Sanders in his Triumph Dynamite Sprite alongside the number 92 Neil vaugh in the Chevrolet C C3 8 L under his right foot a real proper bone shaker and then finally at the back of the field the number 93 Gary Cole in some of an unusual car but it is joining us in the special SPS of mod nonetheless a Citron BX the 2 L example joins us on the 16th row what a fabulous lineup we have got ready to do battle so like all of our categories they are further divided into uh subcategories we didn’t really get a chance to talk about the categories in the BMW and open series but we will discuss those if we have an opportunity to the racing was that intense for our opening race of the day so here in the future Classics and special Sol and mod sports for future Classics it is the categories are dictated by engine power so the top category is category a which is for anything over 3.3 L and then it works its way down to uh the category F which is up to 1,600 l 1600 L 1600 CC 1600 lit would be something kind of a ship or something so 1600cc is the smallest category there is a category category e for E30 uh 320 I BMWs running the M20 B20 engine then category D is for 1600 to 2 L then C is 2 L to 2 and A2 liter B is 22 ler to 3.3 ler and as mentioned a is over 3 liter similar idea for the special salons and mod Sports and now the special saloons mod sports are further divided into classic engine and modern engine classes so if the cars have had to be reworked if they’re not running a significant percentage of the original engine specifications they can be entered into the modern engine classes similar idea just slightly different division of classes so for the classic engine we the top category there is anything over 6 L and all force inductions or anything turbo or supercharged will go into classic uh category a for B it’s 2.1 L to 6 L there quite a divide there uh for category B and then C it is uh 1 and 1/2 L to 2.1 l d is one so 1151 C to 1500 CC and then the E category is up to 1150c that’s the classic engine categories I’m not surprised di mul’s got his door open he must be absolutely cooking in there got to bear in mind that all of our drivers are sat in the cars ready to be released in their racing gear and it is pretty warm out there can see some movement we can see on the cameras and here we hear engines beginning to raar into life so that I am hoping is an indication that we will be getting the cars on their rolling lap very very soon the other category of uh well the other way that the special Sol mosw are categorized in the modern engine class if it’s over 2.3 l and all forced industrial engines that’s modern engine a class 1,400 cc to to uh 2300 cc is B and up to 1,400 is modern engine Class C that is how the special sols of mosports are divided as uh we just waiting for the cars to be released what incredible day we’ve got the rain has tried to uh threaten intervention here in Hampshire but has so far been unsuccessful joining me in the Box Marcus Pi a great honor to be alongside the Oracle of Motorsport himself so uh specialist saloons and mod Sports Marcus that’s a subject close to your heart absolutely my bad Chris and U I’ve loved them since uh oh KY since I first came to thron October 1973 so even before that followed them in the magazines but uh I’ve just done a bit of a scout around the pdic finding a few of the drivers from this morning finding out one or two of the problems to impart later on but they’re coming out now onto the grid and uh what a grid it is mixed with the future Classics Advantage Motorsport future Classics and JMC racing John Cotton’s business special saloons and mod sports but yes a really good mix uh of cars here with those 2 L cars out the front the 2 L uh turbo powered PUO with Cosworth uh YB Ford YB engine the knit of Danny Morris uh the spirit of RPM as the car is called after his late brother Ricky Parker Morris with whom he shared this car and whom he raced for many many moons uh Ricky passed away during the covid uh times uh of 2020 uh into 21 and and uh this car raced in his honor and his memory and going very well uh this morning Tom kry always quick ground here with the bdg powered Honda CRX which is a monop chassis with a kind of a plastic Honda is body over the top of it the pjo looks like a PUO looks like a p 309 it has a v silhouette of it yes it does one one of the things I’ve Loved about mod Sports is is from the outside it it almost looks absolutely Bonkers as if you can strap any kind of engine to any kind of chassis that has any kind of shell on it off you go do feel free it’s not that straightforward I’m well aware but absolutely but I mean the the the special saloons you could do a lot more too than you could with the mod Sports Mod Sports you had to keep the same family of engines you had to keep the same basic type of chassis uh inv W so if you had a um steel monoco chassis you had to remain that way uh if you had a a fiberglass monoco chass it had to remain that way uh and you could do a lot less uh technically with Mod sports but special saloons which be home super saloons in 1974 uh certainly the more powerful ones uh are absolutely fabulous we’ve got the MG lenon which is um interesting that’s a tube frame there not a lot of really in there built in Northern isand by Mike Johnson and um it’s one of a couple of the Andy southcot from Southampton runs uh 2.3 liters and uh he’s got one with a Vox or Red Top engine and one with a it’s the red top engine that is out there yeah the Millington engine is the blue accented one I believe that’s right and you got Stuart durn with a TBR tuskan challenge Paul Dolan going really well with the two lead for Lan up there uh and the Ellis’s with their toit Sunbeam Lotus father and son they always go well look at that Morris Miner as well the Morris Miner V8 uh which is the car of Craig Percy built by uh drag racer uh Chris Isaac uh a long time ago and that has a 6.3 L uh Chevrolet uh LS3 V8 another one like it you won’t but so of course we also see out the Austin a30 with a 5 L Chevy from time to time which is great not exactly as um alones deemed necessary for mgy thousands back in the day uh we’ve got also the amazing Darion there of I Hall been racing here at Tron since the 60s 80 years old now uh in 17 trouble for the number 76 the golf has come to rest that is Dean clayon so that’s uh that’s only his second outing with the club now is that going to cause trouble no we are racing we are the field has gotten underway so hopefully that stranded golf isn’t going to cause too many problems but again that Roar of every kind of engine you can expect is just on its way down to cell comp and Seagrave it’s still going through but the uh the golf unfortunately is is stricken on Woodham Hill the Marshals are in attendance it’s sort of kind of a back to that first race doesn’t it before lunch the Marshals are pushing it away and uh whether they get it through that slot before the field arrives the matter the Marshals are absolutely incredible and we we always thanking for the reference oh look at that carry and um Danny Morris surpris surpris Crossing Zords already with South gotot he’s already taking the lead over and just sprinting off into the distance I think South s of got the jump on him at the start he dived away it’s going so quickly but uh yeah uh as they come onto Woodham Hill it is the South cut mg Len which leads as so often before here Le leading Tom KY in the Honda third is uh Danny warus in the hero behind them D B with the TVR Dolan with the orange land then we’ve got the uh super duper tobert Sunbeam Lotus what a great piece of kit that is so so quick particularly in the L’s hands oh he’s having to go with the AL coming down to the first turn coming down the W I can’t get it done though that door closed in his face but Martin Ellis his father that’s taken over the 300 horsepower uh all something noted for this race having a go at that tiny tiny little Alan but Paul Dolan denying his day and on the road when they were new those tooro S spun their wheels in second third and fourth gear and the slightest element of damp uh you spent most of your time very sideways interesting down the field we’ve got the X Brian mure uh Triumph doite Sprint number 49 which is Matthew Sanders um out for only the second time since restoration but there’s the Dolan Elance a very very pretty car isn’t it that yeah he’s he’s commonly known for rating BMWs or certainly more recent times he he raced uh manorie Park last year came fifth in both of the races that we saw that car coming out in so it is a quick bit of kit but he is chasing the uh the future Classic front runner of Stuart durn who absolutely obliterated the field in that car uh on his previous outing at Alon Park a few weeks ago so he’s again as far as the future classes are concerned he’s Untouchable he’s got a few more horses to deal with when it comes to the special s m and then you’ve got the Darren Wildcat shame shamelessly admited my favorite car of this field no disrespect to the rest they’re all absolutely fantastic but I do have a bit of a soft spot for that Darion 6 L monster is keeping the uh keeping the Ellis’s company Ellis’s three- Wheeling saving some tire rubber heading up towards the complex yeah it’s uh great to see the variety of cars in this field that only 2 L uh more than holding its own against the big uh TVR of Stuart DAV 5 L uh engine in that one and uh we keep we see batt the for sale uh Astro GTE three have you made a John an offer on that yet uh I haven’t my pocket doesn’t really go that deep Raymond Barry he’s had that Camaro quite a number of years and still pedaling it well and absolutely Earth shattering engine in there in the number 97 5.7 L of angry sheer brings that up from Brighton way doesn’t he and yeah John hamersley 73 chairman of the cscc racing for best part of 50 years and still enjoying it finds the it’s getting a little bit taring so they trying to work on the car you know doing all the uh trying to get his mind around the cornering potential on slicks quite something there’s the mgy miner being overtaken by another of the top sibian lotuses that’s Jeff passing Craig Percy oh look at the group behind them though you got a pair of the 944s along with Tim Maul in the BW golf a big wag of the tail there from Tony Maran in the yellow in the witches Motor Company L car this is Tim Maul who is no relation to G mul who in 1934 90 years ago won the Monaco Grand Prix in a scooter F Ferrari Alpo P3 oh there you are you see there you are you learn something new every day every day every day is a school day as I’ve always been told yeah Tony Marin yellow Porsche regular here garage owner from wit Church in Hampshire so not veryy far away from Thruxton and uh looking at the other the two the two porches are together aren’t they the other being the other Clayton out there Darren clayden sorry I said clayon beg your pardon yeah Darren clayon uh previously raced a BMW 320 uh with the club he was out of Donington in the open and the future Classics race so actually ran three times uh has had that car since around about 2017 or so and that is not a slow car he is nailed to the back of that a V8 moris Miner is absolutely flying and he’s running ninth overall as Craig Percy being harassed by uh clayden in the Porsche and also by Tim Maul with that VW Golf GTI now this group are actually closing in on Ian hall now has the DAR Wild got a problem I was going to say that the the Wild Cat’s sick isn’t he yet that’s pulled immediately over to the right hand side uh yeah Danny Mor said during the interviews these cars are very fragile he wasn’t kidding it is it is Boom or bust unfortunately with the special with the the Darion there I mean it’s a it’s a beautifully built beautifully uh engineered car um AO engineer by profession uh when he was uh was working fulltime and uh so Ian Hall I remember here in um mod Sports way back in the early 70s and he started before that I he’d been racing since the first meeting at thron I think in ‘ 68 since the 60s I think I’ve got my not yeah 68 was when this iteration circuit started of course it did open before because here’s the leaders and um that was South coming back past Tom kry um who was ahead of him coming up the hill so southet and kry locked in combat and Morris uh was stuck behind a another of the VW Golf that’s Donald DW who’s Donal down from Scotland oh wow well TR new to the club for this meeting so uh we always welcome new faces here always happy to have any new new uh entrance to the club but yeah look at this now it’s not often that Andy South gets challenged by anybody Tom ter turbo Tom kry if I can get the right syllables out is hustling hard for the lead turbo Tom carry with an atmo engine [Music] I say nothing here he comes and carry look at that he he hops the he hops the corner there quick sweepers out of the back of the circuit he’s I remember quicker here isn’t he he is and they’re catching the back of that’s that that blue Suzuki Swift they are on the tail of yeah that’s PA Turner is somewhat outgun got a motorcycle engine I think it has every right to be out gunned in which case but against that but yeah that’s footed Tom carry a little bit in the Honda CRX so he back off a little bit and um yeah South cut managed to find his way past look at the Bodywork just just deflecting on top of the engine cover of that Venom nose I had a chance to Andy South he actually had to take the door shut just to prevent the rattling of the door from distracting him because the car is so light all panels are as long as they can be I sense that Morris is coming back at them and uh yes so 1213 for Morris that round he’s much closer so it’s uh at the end uh of the sixth lap it’s South cut uh Carrie and Morris in that order and the gap between them is only 2.3 seconds sorry all my feelings got got shaken out by the Corvette rumbling past us the eigh ler C3 that’s such a glorious noise but and there he is there is Danny Morris on the back of Tom Gary absolutely shifting now our po sitter on the back of Tom car for second position Tom’s falling a little bit off the back of Bandy southet again possibly getting caught up in the traffic here but yeah Danny Morris is hustling hard in they’ve got a BMW that’s the number 10 car I believe that is Thomas Hendry uh not a new T not a new coming to the club that is a new car for him as they danc around that lovely Triumph toite South Scaro hasn’t he he’s taken this opportunity to get past he’s lap the TR do M Sprint that’s down that’s Morris having a look is he oh he’s swept around the outside of Tom kry yeah the G past David claxton’s kurs heck TR Delite Sprint the short tailed version they’ve not long gone past uh Jim seaward either in that uh be growling Tri out TR7 how on Earth he’s got the V8 in there I will never know but not a lot of room to maneuver I dare say as the Honda screams passes once more trying to close down s V8s ran in in Works rallies didn’t they so it’s yeah lightweight aluminium V8 is relatively compact true I remember Tom car a couple of years ago had uh had a fire in that car here mive fire right here yeah and they they kind of rebuilt they rebuilt the whole car in a week is uh or in in a in a particular short period of time working away so it was his M to kind that’s right yes it was his team that rebuilt it for him in time for the next C me and they put an 18800 um uh engine into it just as a stop Gap because the T one have been damaged or the antillies of it have been damaged there’s Craig Percy getting back on to oh side by side they go yellows there and yellow flags into Allard and side by side um the uh Morris Miner V8 Dr Percy I think I just saw camera left what the cause of the yellow was I didn’t quite see who it was I’m wondering if it was the Triumph I wonder if it was actually Jim seawood but uh I couldn’t quite see it disappeared out of the camera a little too [Music] quickly who is missing that’s going to be the ah is it child’s the 501 car that’s showing is missing in action it was it the Alpha Romeo I I thought it was I thought it was a white car I saw on the shot very four we’re now working lap nine for the leaders the yellows are gone so oh no I commentated Cur Jim se he has come in in the number 89 Triumph so he has at least accounted for oh and Dolan spins and the tags the TVR as he does so and that’s put both of them off onto the infield Dolan just dropped it got a little bit sideways tagged the TVR and they’re both scrungle around in the uh uh in the loose stuff looks like Ste durn is deciding just to bring the car in as again we will see St durn well hopefully the there’s not too much damage to the car we will see him out again in the modern Classics race which is part of our fifth race lineup for the day and also back out in this uh Revisited grid for race number six the two Porsches are close together and here comes Dolan he’s got back he got going again but he’s a long long way down he’s going to be down in what 12th Place now but durn out and there is there’s a leader going past Alex thiswe in the over team Kamar the Martin Thomas car Alex white now the owner of truck and circuit as of recent times absolutely yeah you you you don’t struggle with that name as much as I did and the checker flag has been presented so we are bringing this race Hal and that’s because there are cars uh stranded at different parts uh on the circuit that was enjoying but Andy southg has won it by 3 seconds from Danny Morris Tom KY so Tom KY fell away from the back of D Danny Morris towards the end of that and then the Ellis family Tober Sunbeam Lotus so Martin Ellis driving in this one Ellis senior was taking that one so Junior will have a go with that one for race number six later today yep Craig persy is going to be fifth in the Morris Miner Jeff Beal sixth in the blue to Lotus and then uh it will be Tim mole leading the Rest by the looks of things let’s see there’s Craig Percy there’s Jeff beel and uh yeah they’ve accelerated through then we’ve got there’s Tim Maul he is going to be in seventh place eighth is Tony Maran who’s got ahead of Darren clayon towards the end and in 10th Place uh Jamie Sturges with the BMW Jamie from literally over the back of the circuit in in the village oh that’s a that’s a slow Andy South but then again he’s missed the pit Lane entry he’d already finished so he’s going for another Victory lap there’s the fal fight Kamar going into the pits I need to PR I need to practice that right on right on the Blackboard 100 times th th see I still can’t do it car looked after by alaman racing here come the results then provisionally for the advantage Motorsport future Classics jamy racing Special M Sports Andy South got the winner 175 the L mid another win here for the Southampton man in second place 309 Danny Morris with the Puro 309 uh turbo class winner third also class winner 31 Tom kry with the Honda bdg then in fourth place Martin Ellis to Sunbeam Lotus fifth break Percy with the moris Min Chevrolet

robber sd1 off the here by Ken Clark 86 is Colin Claxton with a Ford Escort uh 17th is Ray Barrow with the Ballwin racing Chevrolet cabaro then it’s David Clon with the trite Sprint kurs head turbo car uh Donald dur with his BW Golf GTI mark one p Turner with the Suzuki SC 100 by the motorcycle engine Steve fry with the Ford Mondo space frame car X Euro car chassis um the Gary Thomas Ben brain Al Romeo the great car 16622 Neil V Chevrolet kamaro Corvette sorry next Stuart D bur retirement Jim SE retirement Gary Cole in retirement Matthew Sanders looks like he retired did three hours at Spar but not 20 minutes at thron and Thomas Henry Ian Hall Alex Charles also failed to go the distance we got one car just rejoining under its own Steam from the bottom of the uh uh of woodam Hill that was the one I was trying to identify earlier on and I thought it was originally Jim Seward but he is that the Alex child’s I think that is the 501 Alex child’s car so it’s promising that it is coming back under its own steam yes that’s that’s that is indeed the Alpha Romeo and also coming back under his own steam was the red golf we lost very early on yes uh on the uh in yes that’s right so that is now cautiously but it is coming back very very slowly that was the number 76 car that fortunately came to grief in the early part of the race that that was Dean Clayton and southg now is he in trouble cuz he is not moving there he goes so I maybe just have stalled what a superb race over all too quickly a blink of an eye and with an intense racing action we had it has disappeared very quickly but you can now see the marshals having to put the quick dry powder down as someone has dropped something a little bit slippery perhaps uh well we don’t know who was responsible for that but we have got Ken mcy down on the pit Lane ready to speak to some of our drivers an early end then to that race but let’s see if we can gather up our top three uh let’s see we’ve got Danny Morris here because Andy southcot took the checker flag twice uh let see if I can find him uh he’s gone oh he’s over here he’s over here let’s see if we can let’s stay away from Thomas car’s car there it was uh pulled up into the pit Lane it was slightly on fire at the back end but uh nonetheless uh we’ll have a speak to Danny Morris first of all Danny we’ll speak to you first because Andy I don’t think I was just there now uh but second place for you Paul what happened in those first couple of flps cuz you dropped down to third but then you more than made up for it for a great move for second yeah the the uh place of the other two cars is is hard to live with particularly off the line and I uh I don’t I don’t think I have my best start ever judging by how much Andy Andy came past me or how quickly he came past me so um but then I just you know the the tires take a little bit longer to warm up I think the others are on radials I’m on crossplay so take a little bit longer to warm out but got into the groove and then thought I was catching both of them at one point but obviously uh got caught up by a back marker down or someone was lapping down at the chicane so that put me back a few seconds but I’d rather do that than take a risk diving down the inside and and both both both coming off so um it yeah the car was going really well didn’t miss a beat so and I think uh Tom in the third had a bit of a problem so that allowed me to to get past him down the down the straight so but yeah very very close I think uh yeah little bit more Pace you never know I might be out there for challenge for the lead next time and next time of course later on this afternoon what what what sort of lessons do you take away from this race I got to drive faster good lesson thank you thank you Danny that’s second place there Danny Morris we’ll have a chat to uh let’s have a chat to Thomas Kerry Tom uh third place fastest lap bit of a fiery end for you what happened there I believe well it’s not the first time it’s happened exhaust pipe rather just can’t cope with the heat of the exhaust pipe so exhaust rep it and put a rubber on it but it just can’t cope I should say congratulations first of all really to Andy and to Danny they very very went very well that’s they always do to be honest be nice if they had a weekend off a pair of them wouldn’t it well you did get faster slap so that’s something to take away with what what else do you take away from here into the next race later on today and starting first gear because I got once I got caught napping but second gear is not the gear for coming off of this line here basically and try and look into it because it’s down to three cylinders whatever happened halfway through through way through it’s it’s misfiring badly so get the lads to look at it now basically yeah we’ve got about an hour and a bit to to to sort of w that hopefully we’ll see you out there and maybe at a bit quicker Pace than a 12.9 I think it was all right okay well I’ll do my best certainly it depending on if the lads do their best it’s if it’s three cylinders and you still got faster lap I’m Keen to see what it’s doing on all cylinders that must have mean when it had four I reckon if if it it’s a better story if it’s not okay yeah yeah that was with three definitely definitely thank you very much Tom congratulations on third place let’s have a chat now to Andy southcot our race winner uh Andy uh fancy seeing you I told him if uh if you get in the top three you’re probably speaking to me and you’re trying to hide from me Andy how was that out there well yeah I’d like to apologize obviously for going through the um checker flag twice but it was hidden in my defense it was hidden behind the orange flag whatever that one is but um thanks to Michael here for getting me back on because obviously we had a wheel band problem which you saw so uh yeah it was really really good and the car was going all right not not perfect but it was a lot better so bit bit bit of work to go next time yeah you seem to have a great start off the grid you got past Danny Morris there talk us through your start yeah I was um yeah I was obviously up behind in third position um and yeah I mean this thing’s absolutely lightning over I don’t know 20 30 ft and it just whereas I think he’s got to wait for his turbo to come in um but then Tom’s quick as well and I think he was behind me and we both got past him so obviously he started parallel with him didn’t he um Tom so yeah that was it really and then I didn’t back and I don’t know what happened um I don’t know what happened to um Danny I know um I know Tom got pass me at church put a great move on me his mate was in his Suzuki to the left and I I thought can I get through the and he just went straight through the middle of us really bold move it was really good move so yeah but most enjoyable and again thanks to Mikey for getting me back on the road yeah it’s great to see you back on the road and on the top step of the overall what sort of what what’s the lesson here to take into the second race today uh you know I think I’m gonna have to have a wits about it because Tom’s lightning he quick R parts of the circuit and I think I’ve got the which is surprising but I think I’ve got the rush on me on the back straight so I can catch him and I caught him there and actually got past him so but he had a misfire so you know it’s his to it’s his from it’s his to win I think the next next one but thanks very much anyway we’ll see about that well thank you Andy and enjoy that Victory we’ll see you later on and uh with that then that’s our top three we’ve got no one else to interview so I’ll lead into the next race the next race then is the mg Trophy and box Jag components Jaguar championship [Music] race number three then is gathering in the holding area so is the mg Trophy and barer Jag components Jaguar Championship we welcome back the big cats back to the classic sports car club and very welcome they are a wonderful mixture of different types different engine sizes and of course different liveries arising here so great for this race the Jaguars will start ahead of the mg this time so Colin philpart in the 67 car will start alongside Jack Robinson in the number 14 hope he’s fixed it because he had a problem in qualifying The Pink Panther the 24 Michael Seaborn alongside number seven Tim lenthor Tom lenthor excuse me 156 Andrew Harper J starts alongside multiple Jagua Champion James Ram in the number 99 Chris burn in the 139 alongside Michael ainson in the 58 on row number four alongside the row five which is 17 Ian Spooner alongside Mark Bennett in the 82 row number six is number 45 David ringham alongside 34 Charles Jackson the next row is 163 Andrew Maynard alongside number 56 James wall and number three rounds out the Jaguars of Colin Porter the mg’s number one uh big number 31 is Fergus Campbell starts alongside last year’s champion M Champion Tyler Ballard in the number one car and then the next row is James Co in the 88 alongside 248 which is Jack Woodcock then on the next row is number 39 James Blake alongside number 20 Matthew Harvey and the number 13 Andrew Rogerson former Jaguar racer himself brings up the back of the field yeah I think it’s worth noting that Fergus Campbell in that daylow colored mgzr was second quickest overall uh in qualifying so room for him to field and now I I I was privileged enough to see these at Alon Park and my god do these little MGS make the big cats work for it I was a little surprised actually the MGs punch above their weight I thought the big cats would really have the small MGS uh for power especially here but exactly the same Mar as those MGS and these are the less powerful MGS the they usually there’s a couple of quicker ones as well uh but they they’re not here this weekend so tremendous effort it’s basically the category B cars that are here so that is modified said bkon so there the mgzr 170s uh there are seven of them so there’s a few less of them I wonder if the NG Runners kind of thought we’re not going to keep up with the Jaguars here but as was proven exactly you say Marcus in qualifying those MGS yet again made the big counts work for it it is spectacular to see the very you the the the mini versus The Mighty it’s like the The Minis versus the four Falcons of of yester year again before your time markers I remember them all too well and I’m thankful that I did too because um had some great days of watching racing from the end of the 1960s um saw Jim Clark win the British Grand Prix in 67 in the new Lotus 49 with the K of dfv engine a lot of great Club racing back through there and through the 70s 80s 90s right through to now and uh doing probably 30 meetings a year for the last 47 years is I’ve seen quite a lot of it or during my lifetime I I entered the world in 1980 so I missed that era Johnny come lately I’m sorry I’m sorry I I can’t be held responsible for it but I have uh is um yeah my brother actually got gave me the appreciation of classic cars U we grew up with Mark one of Mark 2 escorts but in later years when I’ve really gotten involved in Motorsport commentary I’ve looked back at as much footage as I can find uh online of yeah exactly that mini versus Falcon versus uh Austin Healey versus anything that pretty much could race in the British saloon car championship and it was known and what a what a time to be enjoying M those parts of the world it was was Ford minis Ford anglas Hillman imps uh then the escort came in 67 por 911s were running in British L Car Championship in ‘ 67 as well Vic Alford and S I I enjoy I I enjoy anything that has four wheels in an engine and I make no apology for it but there is something magical and I’m sure I don’t need to justify to this to you Marcus that there is something magical about seeing classic Machinery in classic period Livery doing what they were built to do and we are somewhat treated to that with our Jaguars um a little bit more so the MGs they’re a little bit more modern but as as mentioned they have put on a wonderful display we’ve enjoyed their company at Donington we enjoy their company at Alon Park and we get to see the MGs and believe you me they will punch above their weight they will make a number of these big counts really work for their position yeah six of the MGs led by that deow car number 31 the bpdo car yeah that could light up an entire that could light a whole town that car it is I think a small country um if it’s got it Magneto working correctly will be would be really good good and that’s Fergus Campbell used to work with him at hey Market publishing years and years back um his father was a racer as well Fred Campbell had a Morgan uh plus a but it’s the Jags uh which are on the first grid and uh there’s a it’s a good mix of a period type uh International racing liveries a sort of silk cut car or it’s a couple of silk cut liveries there’s a castal livery among them I see as well uh one one car we are missing is is Rogerson from back at the MGs we we saw he had trouble during qualifying yeah and also I think Jack Robinson isn’t it with the the swallow shag that had head back to the wall yeah exactly way go Jags and it’s poor man calling Philpot who was quickest out of the blocks uh and we’ve got one of two interesting cars we got sort of supercharged uh XK8 of Chris Boom the ccats car in there a couple more supercharged cars Rick Walker and Andrew Harper uh in among them there go the uh MGS slightly more sedate Pace uh the front wheel drive cars off the road off the off the grid and Campbell has the advantage there the the racing going after him yeah he’s is very close and very verci the Jags though and Chris Boon has been shaken well off down the order in the yellow and blue XK8 the supercharged car can hear the supercharges yeah you you’ll hear that wailing above the uh above the normal engine though it’s interesting to see the new S Type the supercharge S Type actually doing well generally the S Type usually a smaller engine but uh the the new supercharged runs a 4.7 L uh under as the Beating Heart of the of some of these Jack we now uh enjoying the MGs working their way through uh started to spread out a little bit but they will not stay like that they all Bunch up pretty quick of course Jaguars were the uh the the in thing in the British Lon Car Championship the early part of the 6s and half of the Grand Prix stars came out in them uh in rounds of the championship then of course the big Galaxy of jack Sears came on song we had 156 hopping over the curbs on the inside of the chicane there that’s the second place man that’s Andrew Harper Phil parts and Harper and lentle uh and James Ram up into fourth place oh Michael seon on the inside line fending off the advantage of Michael Atkinson so yeah great side by side going on there Michael Seaborn was third in the in class C in the Jaguar challenge last year knows how to Pedal that car very well here come the MGs once again the Dave loar doing his best up front to keep all of the advances at B there tier Ballard wearing that number one finished seventh twice at Alon Park didn’t finish the opening round in Donington unfortunately hasn’t quite got up to Pace along with the rest but he’s certainly doing well here hanging on to the back of that number 31 Fergus Campbell wasn’t at Alton Park so that will affect the championship standings for him that is a that is a national championship as opposed to a series that uh we also enjoy here at the classic Sports guard Club but it is so far so good for the remaining six MGS oh Tyler Balor getting very close there to Fergus Campbell not quite able to get alongside they are starting to catch the tail end of the Jaguars you just saw in the camera shop there those watching the stream but front rning the Jaguars that’s a very W big count unfortunely missed which one was gone for a bit of a w just stayed on the Terra farmer as again Fergus Campbell now flirting with the rumble strip and getting a little close to the grass now the MGs are going to have to work hard to get past the big cats but one of the Jags just ahead of the battling MGS has a loose Bonnet I notice it’s just um undone on the left hand inside and Driver coming in that’s the storm car coming into the pits but look at the look at the MGs I mean there’s Campbell second and third are side by side I think balance just lost uh second place in that group to Woodcock by looks of things oh B Be Cole no it’s Cole who’s gone through and uh yeah there big change around there in the battle behind Fergus Campbell and second and third still side by side Bard just bide the inside of Cole coming up into Campbell nicely done he wasn’t content with that move staying still and back up into second place and a good exit from Seagrave he’s going to put him back in the tie tracks back in the slipstream of Fergus Campbell so that’s a challenge for the lead not diluted in the slightest for the NGS so they’re still fighting and not too far behind them is the fifth place mg which is going to be Matt Harvey so he’s not just seen him going through the camera shot he’s not too far out of either I thought that was a spin there that’s actually someone’s car that parked and the camera shot there might apologies the Jaguars still arguing for their own bits of real real estate as again the MGs are closing in yeah and Tom Tom lent’s got through on the inside of Allard up into second place the mg’s slightly different lines that I noticed that cble and Ballard uh uses Ballard up the outside uh into the Kane the first four MGS absolutely together they clamber over the curbs in the middle and it looks like the third one of those which is Cole uh looks up the inside of Ballard and he squeezes through again swap through once more that second place Changing Hands it will continue to do so as the race continues then you got Woodcock that he’s ready to do battle right behind them as well Campbell at Campbell Bravo so beat me to he doesn’t make a soup of it oh I knew it I I should have been prepared for that he doesn’t he’s actually made ground coming out and uh Campbell with a lead of about five or six mg lengths over Cole now James Cole it’s only about three yards isn’t it Tyler valard behind them getting onto the back of J going to which Jaguar it is they’ve caught now strictly speaking that is for a race position although the Jaguar is not likely to be able to fight too hard to keep the uh MGS behind as we uh continue to see the lead of the jagu was Tom lenthal in the number seven TR he’s in second with Andrew Harper that’s supercharged number6 guy you tend to hear it before you see it Colin philpart reminding people he is the fastest Jag with 4 A Reason sets the new fastest lap of the race look at this group here number 58 goodness me Michael Atkinson previously was in an XJ 300 he’s got all kinds of pressure from the number 17 Jaguar of youan Spooner the ljs roofing and building sponsored car the 4 L xjs trying to find his way through as well you just know if well I mean if there’s a mistake one it’ll be quite dramatic because the nature of this circuit being very very quick but two it could well catch somebody out as the there’s the MGs just catching that particular group Somebody went a little bit too deep there I missed which Jaguar it was as the camera is continuing to focus on that beautiful silk cut Livery car of Spooner I think it is and here come the MGs they’re closing in with Campbell and Cole as opposed to Campbell Cole who was a a very quick saloon car racer back in the day Mike Campbell Cole race minis went on to win the cast go formula 4D Championship I think in 1971 and uh Campbell and Cole together Ballard right behind and Campbell trying to get a bit of a toe from one of the big Jags is punching a huge hole in the air that’s Andrew mayard that they are getting into the slipstream off it’s exactly what these MGS are about it’s all about momentum they don’t have great dealer power there go again the 17 mg 170s only 1.8 ler out best as that is that trouble for one of the big cats that was getting very slow there certainly eating that xjs up in a straight line that is going to be and they break the J as well and the top three for a hole inside the the Jag Andrew M’s got nowhere to go he’s he’s I need room here somewhere fellas he’s actually having to go Andrew M’s actually having to go back at Tyler Ballard he’s getting the inside line on he was trying to it won’t last it oh there was nearly a t between Tyler Bard and Andrew mayard there the only just no yellow flags tells us something absolutely so but the MGs I said that the MGs will make yeah make the big house work and there’s a change of lead in the mg cup as they are catching the back of one of the XK8 so that is now Cole that leads the way in the MS as Michael ainson in the gray number 58 that they are catting up to so the superchar 4.2 L XK8 should have the legs on the MGs but the MGs are like oh really sir I weigh about a quarter of what you do and two of them have slipped through before they anywhere anywhere even close to a Breakin zone so much squabbling going on this is what we love to see yeah it’s absolutely superb and the leaders go on there they’re three and a half seconds apart uh Phil pot and lentol oh it’s a spin that’s mayard that’s Andrew M’s got a big moment there the tail just completely letting go on the Jaguar still hasn’t got it under control a problem or a punch or something one of the one of the MGs in trying to take avoiding action kind of overcorrected found himself out on the grass and he’s got it back but it’s cost him some time so we’ve got the three lead MGS which is now Cole uh and Campbell with Ballard a distance behind uh and the rest of them are together and let’s pick up who is where among the MGs it’s Cole Harvey Blake and Woodcock together isn’t it yeah so it’s Cole Campbell and Ballard uh in that front group The the first half of them then Harvey Blake and Woodcock in the second half of as Cole now is having go another big cat he’s found another Playmate in the number 17 that’s I Stewart in the four lead xjs he’s having none of that he’s going to have to Cole’s going to have to work a little bit harder to try and get past this particular Jaguar that’s allowing the daylow orange F car of Fergus Campbell to close back in So any advantage that was afforded to the mg leader has gone and then Tyler Ballard the number one mg is still looming large in the background we still have over 9 minutes to go yeah interesting isn’t it to see how high the uh the top um MGS are going to get Co and Campbell in ninth and 10th now uh in the green and deow orange cars and here they come Tyler Ballard has reunited with them and uh they take another even bother breaking yeah Cole has taking another um Jagua just hijacked him into uh into the chicane but that’s all I mean they’re utilizing the advantage of the smaller car they they break about a week later than the Jag do and then just utilize that momentum to sneak through and displace the Jaguars the next one down the rad is the number 56 the turbo diesel XJ of James wall the auto res Auto Reserve Jaguar passs the 2.7 L C-Class car of which Cole has already got past him so he’s utilizing the traffic to his Advantage as now so close it’s Fergus Campbell I thought hit the back of Spooner there but doesn’t look like he did he certainly lost momentum as TI of B thank you very much I’m having this place yeah that’s so easily done you lose just a a tenth of a second out of the throttle and uh and your rival is passed so Campbell who’s been on class pole and led early on now finds himself third of the MGs uh and the train fourth fifth and sixth aren’t that far behind him now which are in the orders of Harvey Blake and and Woodcock oh Ballard now just finding his way through he’s actually essentially been joined by the rest of the MGs the odd one out is now the 88 so that’s Cole James Cole who’s taken over the lead and he’s really working to break away so then it’s the next 1 2 3 4 five mg so there’s one there’s a odd one out somewhere with uh the one of the MGs has lost the back of this pack yeah we got the four we’ got four running there the six that are running um are um one and two separated and then 3 4 5 six together there the turbo diesel uh turbo diesel Jaguar trying to create a smoke string into the complex I think Tyler Ballard is going to get caught by Fergus Campbell he does and the rest are there with him as well and there was a change towards the back of that group uh sixth to fifth among the uh among the mg zrs absolutely yeah my apologies I miscounted how many were in that pack yeah you’re absolutely right it is the remaining five MGS so with the opportunity to break away James Cole has taken full advantage of that then it is balard followed by Campbell the top three of that but again they they going to have to drive a bit more in the mirrors cuz they’ve got the rest of the mg pack with the big cat joining them just for fun with still 6 minutes and plenty of racing remaining yeah there on our screens is growing Cole James Cole apologize in the uh Motorsport car number 88 number 56 jangu that’s James wall as mentioned in the turbo diesel car just the breaking difference yet again being exploited and that Bel of black smoke just to try and hide his Escape yes nature of the turbo diesel plenty of they haven’t been able to displace the diesel jagu just yet but making him work very very hard for it there’s the 248 car so that is Jack Woodcock that has managed to claim one position up into the race so still having to drive a bit in his mirrors into Campbell cob and SE grave once more Ballard has gotten past the uh diesel Jaguar James wall so Fergus Campbell will have to to find his way past through the smoke so Campbell now getting through can he hold that position only time will tell Spooner with his mirror still full of mg as through comes Woodcock and our remaining mg [Music] Runners first two through still 3.7 seconds apart that hasn’t really stretched uh fastest lap to Philpot as early as lap 4 128 758 personal best for James Cole in the 88 now leading the way in the MGs he did a 31 856 which which is only 410 slower than Philpot was last time around uh I mean granted that’s a couple of seconds off the ultimate Pace but you’re going to compare apples to oranges that is still an absolutely super a problem Fergus Campbell uh he’s hit dramas at the shaane I think he could be coming in suddenly slowed and in he comes and the 31 card that was on class pole for this race as out of it a great shame indeed the literal Bright Light of the MD trophy com into a hopefully they can get that one patched up and ready to roll once more for our penultimate race of the day is when we did to expect the mg trophy in the Jaguar Championship Cars return to us there is our race leader Colin philpop been in Jaguars for many many years he was class B champion in 2023 Class C Champion the year before and that name across the front bumper power bell services pres in Jaguar Racing for so many years yeah we won the opening race at Alton Park last time out was third in the following one didn’t fair so well at donton unfortunately and fastest that fastest lap now beginning to change hands a little bit I think that’s personal best lap that is changing hands cuz I don’t think that was was still 128 yeah from lap four 11 laps in for the leaders absolutely unchallenged is Colin Philpot at this point the 4 L xjs he’s had a range of jaguars Cole is up into sixth place overall Chris um ahead of Chris Boon now a superchar XK8 the other superchar XK8 being displaced by our NG leader as the camera looks at number seven that’s Tim uh Tom I keep saying Tim lenthor beg you Tom lenthor second in class B in the Jagua challenge last year was uh Podium twice in both of the Jaguar races at Alton Park and also took part in the modern Classics race at Alton and came home fifth leader in class there and the amount of times that he and his prey of Colin Phila of uh cross swords and shared real estate oh I can’t count that high I know that much there’s the gray Jag in second place which is Tom lenthor now that the Suns properly come out you get to see how absolutely stunning these cars are and some of them don’t actually look like they’ve turned the wheel they look a lot of them actually look so showroom New it’s amazing bit of a cluster of cars here on camera as that’s Colin Porter the number three uh being swallowed up a little bit in the swallows car that’s number 20 Matthew Harvey that has gotten back ahead of Jack Woodcock then this this is the tail end of the mg contingent but still fighting hard they are catching the back of Chris Boon that’s the supercharged XK8 the uh K cats president so to speak or certainly the owner of cry based Jaguar specialist he’s been racing Jaguar since around about 2011 he was fifth in class A in the Jag CH class and yet again the mg’s barrel the inside of Campbell giving the big cat no opportunity to close that door with 30 seconds remaining Colin fileld will just about beat the flag to start the start the final lap of this race no checker flag has gone out um as Colin Philpot went past again there’s a couple of the drivers have picked up penalties I see Seaborn is one of them and woodcock the other wonder if we’ve got a car stranded somewhere then there’s definitely time on the clock when CL Phil crossed the line yeah 2.89 4 seconds the margin of victory for Colin Philpot over Tom lenel uh third place is uh is Harper Andrew Harper in6 in fourth place James Ram a couple of play places from where he started in the 199 car if I just changed to 99 since the program electronic program was [Music] printed uh and in fifth place Michael Seaborn in 24 the uh purpley silk cutes Livery and in sixth the brilliant 6th 88 uh James Cole among the mg’s did say they’ punch above their weight and they did not disappoint a superb series that has uh joined the classic Sports guard ranks this year yeah just a shame there are so few of them here because they’ve had a couple of races obviously in recent weeks and uh just maybe just too much Racing for some of them I suspect it’s something to do with perhaps some of the drivers thinking they wouldn’t quite be able to keep up with a big cat it is a lot of uh a lot of right foot here in uh you youve raced here I think that James Cole did rather well because he only didn’t keep up with five big cat he chased well so let’s look at the results then provisionally uh here at thron and the Order of that race for Jag m is Colin Philpot jagular xjs wins it by 2.89 4 seconds from Tom lenal in another hjs third Andrew Harper in the superar charged s r fourth James Ram in his xjs 6 L car that then 24 Michael Seaborn with his four ler xjs fifth James Cole first of the mg zrs a brilliant drive for him in 88 sth Matthew Harvey in ZR then it was Chris Boon in The Supercharged XJ8 Jaguar he was eighth ninth was James Blake in the third vmgs fourth Jack Woodcock and the fourth vmgs then it’s Yan Spooner Jager xjs Michael ainson Jager XK8 Andrew M X xj40 and David ringham in an xjs that’s the top 14 15th Charles Jackson in an XJ 16th James wal uh in the XJ TDI then it’s Mark Bennett in his X300 Colin Porter in the x340 but two of the MGs didn’t make it home one of them being Tyler defending champion who was out of action a couple of UPS from home yeah so we saw Fergus Campbell come in very very loading the number 31 and that would be the culprit of the early finish very very unfortunate for syo Ballard as the rest of our cars come in I can see there are three Jaguars lined up so uh hopefully Kieran has been able to catch hold us some drivers to have a chat to so here we go then our Jaguars and our MGS are just making their way into the pits now and we have Colin Philpot who’s just jumped out of the car Colin and you position that car perfectly towards me there you’ve done this before yeah yeah um yeah just had a real good race really um yeah say really car went really well thanks to like our power Bell team and Michael H is not here for Eden puts his bit into it as well mean you had a good start and you never really looked back Colin I know it took off out the gate did it I just just didn’t light up really it just went and just had it sweet just must have hit that sweet spot cuz it just ripped up and went and I did look in my mirrors I thought anybody with me I wonder if I jumped it but no I didn’t that was good yeah so obviously it’s something you’ve done before obviously but um when you’re out in front and you’ve got that lead you know what what’s what’s the tips to keeping that concentration is it just pumping in those hot laps yeah it is you’re try and concentrate on just doing the laps but you can’t help looking in the mirrors can you and I could see um Andrew Harper was second then I see Tom got him then I kept my eye on Tom cuz I know Tom’s quick and mo similar cars so I think he started to creep up on me a little bit but I put a couple of concentrated and just tried to get a couple of couple of laps in that kept that Gap I think must he must have thought oh yeah I’m not going to get him but uh yeah the car’s going really well I had a little bit of oil leak from the gearbox after practice I was rushing around trying to sort that out gears were a little bit sticky on it so concentrate on that so it didn’t really flow but it went well really pleased with it well from the outside it might have been a sort of the swan’s legs flying about underneath but from the surface it looked absolutely perfect yeah oh thank you thank you it’s good yeah thank you well Colin congratulations we’ll leave you to celebrate now and look forward to see you later on let’s have a chat to our second place driver in Tom lenol Tom uh lenol I’ve been corrected now I’m in trouble Tom uh obviously second place there just seemed like there was no catching Colin today no no I don’t know at one point I thought I was reing in him a little bit and I oh yeah we can we can sort of make this up um then um a little slide and then for all the traffic maybe we can just reel him in but look we got another race to go um you know I had someone in between me on the first race so I had to get past Andy so hopefully in the second race we’ll stick to his bumper and I think we’ve got the pace we just need to be a little bit closer and then we can fight for it so we’ll give it a go I mean Colin was saying to us he seemed to have just found the absolute sweet spot on that start and that seemed to be a huge difference in that yeah I mean and his car is super stable around the far section around the back as well you know so yeah I mean look if I can get a good start in the next race you know if he if Colin was trying as hard as he could then I can keep that pace so then i’ would be nice if I can stay a bit closer and we can have a bit of a battle that’ll be good fun so I’m up for that well by the sounds of it we’re looking forward to it Cong congratulations on second place we’ll look forward to seeing you on track and uh we’ll quickly just have aw with our third place driver before we uh cut back Andrew Harper he’s just getting a handshake there we’ll see if we can have a chat to uh Andrew here uh in his jagu he was being closed in by James Ram very very close there just having a chat to the screwed ears Andrew just very quickly for you congratulations third place but boy was uh was James Ram closing in on you in those closing St on the last lap I made a horrible mistake at church and um just ended up with a with an awful drift on Lost load of speed um shush it just about enough to keep James behind me just about but that’s all you need yeah I was very lucky it was just one more lap I could see him closing and closing lap by lap um I was struggling with a I was managing a problem within the car that was it was making life difficult for me but uh yeah I knew when James was there he was he wasn’t going to knock twice on the door to to come through so well congratulations on third place it may have been scrubbed but you got it congratulations thank you and with that then we move very quickly and swiftly on to our liquid moly slicks [Music] so the liy Molly slick series is our fourth race of the day and what a you want Earth shattering in in engine tone this is where you come a wonderfully eclectic mixture of cars will be gracing our grid for this amazing series grid coming up then on the front row the number 82 of nibs and Hills will be joining Jamie Sturgis in the number 99 car second is the second row big Buton his 38 Simon all pass Sam all pass excuse me alongside the car we’ve already seen number 23 Nathan Wells Row three another guy we’ve seen and we’ll see several of the BMWs coming out this time it’s 47 n Bradley alongside the BMW veteran number 26 Brian Branson row number four is 83 Richard guy in a huge Mosler alongside number 39 Nigel mus and the relived Volvo doesn’t contain an awful lot of vol what do contain is a hell lot of horses row number five is number 73 Matt Sanders in his BMW alongside 612 another Brad another Bradley and another B we’ve seen starts in 10 number 98 a regular veteran is the number 98 the Interceptor racing BMW of Wyatt and Humphrey alongside David Harvey and his little Lotus the number 41 starts in 12 row seven is the nans usually known for driving much smaller maery I.E a minion Alan and kums they come out in a GT3 spec Porsche for its first M it made announcing in race trim the number 54 starts 13th alongside Ronan Bradley the third of the Bradley BMWs in the number 78 car starts 14th Ross Irving his his golf number 31 starts in 15th with the Tyler Becky car number 33 starting in 16th and at the back of the field has he joined us I’m just looking on the camera yes he has Dylan popovic Jo joins the back of the field with the number nine Janetta yeah that’s right they had a problem this morning went into a kind of limp mode at some point towards the end of the race and and Dylan pulled it into the pits but having finished third uh on the road it’s far a couple of weeks ago really enjoying the car but this morning a little bit of a a bit of a problem in that early race but uh out front it’s it’s Michael nibs who starts the janeta which is on alongside him is Jamie sturis with the remarkable say and away they go the feel somewhat fragmented I think Nigel mus was very very slow coming out of the chicane in the Volvo and it’s Jamie sturis the local resident from just over the back of the circuit who has got the lead in the in the sayat uh in the sweepers before Campbell ciny grave he hops a rear wheel over the curb going into Campbell Michael nibs going with him the BMW over the curb in behind him that’s Nathan well uh and then that amazing Chevrolet powered BMW clone uh of Sam alas in four place a Jeff steel concoction based on a a French solution F chassis they bought it without the Bodywork uh they had this V6 is in originally but now it’s got a 6.2 L LS3 Chevrolet and it wasn’t loud enough so and through on the inside he comes pretty much an annual race meeting for some Al pass who has come through into third place but nibs is trying to get him back on the exit Welles is now second and sturge as it is though who leads the way up the hill in the ramir SE oh there goes all pass he knows this track well he won here last year and won here in 2022 as well caught fire in 2021 so he’s looking for a he can be for on that occasion but yeah really close to top five and it surges from Al pass from Wells from uh Michael nibs there in the Janetta and in fifth place uh it is Nile Bradley n Bradley in the black BMW going with them but tremendous this morning stures uh and nibs and alpass all got into the 117s and sturis is very very neat in this TCR car which um doesn’t have anything like the power of the BMW the BMW can wind the power up to anything up to about 590 horsepower he might be using 575 he said a lot of the time but there is that option for that little kind of not quite a push to pass but um uh it’s certainly a little bit in reserve out the back but it’s quite a long race 40 minutes indeed as our first Pit Stop race of the day so we’ll only see this grid once out sadly but so after 10 minutes the pit Lane will become open for 15 minutes before I get even finished explaining that Sam alas lines up a move on the turbo charge Cooper TCR with that Jamie stes also races at the castle champ he’s going to make him work for it Sam pass isn’t going to make a move there yeah sturis is the reigning Castle Kum Champion with the um previous ramir golf uh but nibs it is now who’s emerging as a challenger to op pass who’s splitting the BMWs chis absolutely so I mean what a eclectic mixture turbocharge 2 L seak Cooper out front followed by a a Chevy engine masing as a BMW right behind and then the tiny little Janetta that’s trying to outbreak uh the mighty all pass coming into camell cop and crave can he do it well I don’t well he’ll lose out a little bit on the faster Parts but tried his best to usurp Sam old pass doesn’t happen on this occasion here they come then it is still Sturges fending off the advant of all janeta in thir now looking in his mirrors with Nathan Wells in the GTR right behind then it is Nile Bradley not far behind little bit of a gap back to Richard guy in that colossal great you can actually hear it on the cameras that huge great mosa a beautiful beautiful car newcomer to the club of both Car and Driver welcomed indeed look at the janeta having to go now so Sam all pass has gone up into first so Jamie sturis has got no option outbreak from there although he has a go at it then now the Janetta is having a go with the seat it’s brilliant isn’t it you’ve got the mock BMW Chevrolet out front the seat uh front-wheel drive car uh in second place the janeta which has got a uh a Ford uh V6 in it uh in third then you’ve got the straight 6 BMW in fourth uh and another of those BMS uh next up and there’s Nigel musle cloring his way up the inside uh of Russell Humphrey not humph as we see on our screens but Russell Humphrey who’s starting the red and yellow BMW so close between Nathan Wales and Nile Bradley they’re coming out of Serra the two BMWs Crossing sord same field as they did before same spe of course they are running as the name of the series suggests they are running slick tires in this series and again the classes of this race dictated by engine side we’ll run through those during the pit stop phase so for any shared car it will be during the pit stop phase that the drivers are able to swap it’s a timed pit stop so it’s not as fast as you can do this the pit stop oh that’s a problem for Al pass that’s s Al pass slow oh goodness me just worked his way up into the lead and now he’s Mighty Chevy and uh BMW bad Chevy has let him down oh what a blow it doesn’t race very often but um quick did he used racing radicals uh Etc but looks like he’s out of this one one and uh what’s happened to it anything obvious not a tire gone down or something like that can’t see anything not belting any smoke is it that would indicate it engine of some description but right behind then Dylan popovic has made his way from the back of the field he’s just on ah head of Nigel mustell has in that Volvo uh that Volvo was really lied he shared that car with Craig Dolby at silverston I remember good Lord did cig Dolby make that car s yeah he did and um Craig currently um off injured isn’t he he’s um hurt his wrist in some filming and so not strong enough to to yet AIT a bit of a problem for a stunt man yeah exactly that exactly that there Sam say oh it looks like it’s a puncture so they’re changing the rear left tire well they’re certainly having a look at uh the rear left so it’s either a puncture or some kind of issue on that corner there’s D papovich in his Janette the uh new engine in that car from 2022 absolutely Ms the Mosler as it’s uh as they’re heading their way through towards this the Bosnian battler himself but now it’s Michael nibs up ahead uh in the Janetta so we’ve had Jamie Sturgis has led s pass leel Russell humy having a go and Nigel must can’t quite do it again I’m going to be banned from your commentary box do I do keep cutting you off sir that’s called a seven that’s a 7 liter um Chevy in in that uh in that Volvo that’s the one that won The Spar 12 hours with Eric ver PA and niik Veron I think driving it but back then not with the big chy it it uh raced in Belgium and Holland I believe was originally built for might not say the Swedish join champ although I’ve heard differently Russell Humphrey outbreaks Nigel must so close got the Mosler ahead of them that that car Nigel musell being Volvo B one at silverston partly no shorts effort by Craig Doby’s efforts although it was Nigel that started that car he had some Fierce Machinery that particular day was second at Alon Park a few weeks ago that was purely in Nigel’s hands I think but he’s now got BMW St Russell Humphrey right behind handing over to Mark Wyatt during the pit stop phase the pits will be open in the next couple of minutes only car that’s coming too early will have to pit again Pass cast still in the pit Lane so they haven’t retired it yet they are still examining it as you can see picture and picture there so they are looking at oh my goodness something has uh made a right old mess in there so it was the tire just the tire shredded shredded you couldn’t see it as he drove in in but he knew there was a problem there as that Volvo is very recant coming through the oh we have a code 60 that’s why people are enounter as Dylan popovic is in but you’re in too early sir the pit Lane is not open yet so as D Po got another problem he’s uh he’s having a bit of a difficult day uh with his beloved Janetta hopefully it’s uh hopefully it’s fixable whatever the problem may be what prel has caused us to have a code 60 I can’t immediately see well whatever the problem was it sorted with green flag once again that’s a curious car the Lotus of uh number 4 that’s really interesting because um David Harvey uh the the suffk norol Border Builder um say that 10 times between between ESS suffk and norol he sort of works works all around the area he started racing motorcycles and he raced here at Tron in 1972 came off his bike at church still has the scars on his backside to prove it he said he just getting like too much information but he said this explains why I kind of lift off a little bit going through there even now in a car but uh yeah um his um late brother was a very fine um motorcycle racer was a a British champion at one point uh Jim Harvey was telling me this morning but there it is it’s it’s a r k series engine it’s a supercharged 1.8 supercharg makes best part of 400 horsepower in something that weighs barely more than a damp tow yes yes so there something like that it debuted here in 21 I think it was um fairly recently as far as it debut into the club was con he wasn’t 2021 um and initially no one could work out what it was we we thought it was a a Krum or KTM or something like that as everyone looked at the the list and saw what it was but um God does he pedal that thing well he’s been racing this particular C since 2005 he was in the Lotus uh cup Europe until 2019 U and then came over to us in like I said 2021 with this car and has done it pretty well with it pit Lane now open and we can see coming into the pit Lane is Aiden Bradley in the 612 so serving his pits up now as mentioned it’s a pit stops so it’s a it’s 90 seconds from when they break the beam at pit Lane in to when they break the beam at pit Lane out cannot be any less than 1 and a half minutes and that will include any driver changes going on which Jen Bradley not poic is is going again oh he’s come back out again by the looks of things yeah I can’t see his Janetta in the pit Lane no he’s not shown us uh still there something faking the bank it’s the mosa the Mosler sounds fabulous making a Del chevet Chevrolet Corvette Corners U with the Chevrolet Corvette engine but in the in the wrong end or the right end is it s lers or something something quite uh quite beef fantastic to drive absolutely awesome to drive I’d love the opportunity to it’s so low to the ground but it takes up quite a lot of the ground it’s very very drove Martin shorts at Donnington in the company of um uh teenagers in Formula Rena who got annoyed at being out to accelerated so annoyed that they out break into the corners and then fall off here’s um Dylan papovich yeah the short family have been Mosler experts for for a number of years now we enjoyed their company in several of their MOS Sam alas coming back out into the wonderful wonderful BMW Chev and looks like Aden Bradley is now on the move so if the time if the pit Lane time is less 9 second no St in so Aiden Bradley is actually pulling into the paddock so no he will not be rejoining yes Jamie Sturges is in Ross irvan is in as uh we see the that gorgeous Moos there is the number 31 Golf there is Ross Irvine along with the number 78 BMW monstrous noise of that M again no no complaints whatsoever Nigel mus is still glued to still engaged in battle with Russ with Russell Humphrey they the the intercepted BMW hasn’t been in for its uh driver change yet what a fabulous fabulous battle that is various growls and screams of the different engines we’ve got here again is that mosa of Richard guy the new that mosa mt900 7 lers is in the high capacity category which is any uh cars that would be eligible to outperform the A1 class which is anything over 3.7 L highly modified or latest model cars so anything all Nigel must car and that mosla they’re likely to significantly outperform the A1 cars they go into the high capacity cars and they also have to serve an additional 15 seconds in as a pit Lane penalty as we see the battle never ceasing between the intercepted BMW oh sorry Interceptor racing BMW and the now yellow lied Volvo mentioning M that’s just pulling into the bit several other cars pulling in see what that pits oh who I’m not sure who was wrong footed coming through the chain there as the number 98 BMW is also coming in as the camera has picked up that wonderful Mosa that’s released Nigel mtil from challenge the pit Lane has got another I think 10 minutes to to run final third of the race will have the pit lane closed so anybody that hasn’t Serv it pit stop by then will face the penalty you can see the Interceptor racing crew going through the driver change to out comes Russell Humphrey and in will jump Mark Wyatt to continue to push the BMW and see what challenge they can offer to what has primarily been Nigel muscle in that bright yellow beam M just going through camera shot the that’s David Harvey that still got Matt Sanders for company in the suit me limited 3.2 L M3 E46 I bet you bet you’re warming there sir there Sam all pass oh he’s found one of his usual stable mates he’s actually got hold of Nathan wells in the 23 and that’s 47 isn’t it that’s uh Nile Bradley in behind them triumverate of very different BMWs Here Comes Nigel mustell into the pits with the liqu Molly Volvo newly delivered for this year they have a of blue and blue and red very fetching uh scheme on it before still very distinctive the mo cocaa zero anyone that doesn’t enjoy that kind of engine is has something to answer for I reck somewhat yes to somewhere to someone there it is the wesex vehicle services Volvo Chevrolet Nigel must still runs that business down in the west country kind of local circuits are here and Castle Kum th Castle Kum pretty much equidistant I thought got watching Nathan Wells still keeping Sam all pass company coming through Allard heading up towards complex you can only tell it’s EV Volvo by the name on the end plate of the wing it doesn’t give an awful lot of away doesn’t that sort of periscope air intake in the in the roof is quite something just saw the Nan family coming through in their new toy that’s Billy Nan Billy started yeah he did inde there it is the number 54 Porsche and a good old chat to n senior he’s not handing the toy over look unless they’ve been in have the NS been in uh looking down the order no they haven’t so David Harvey coming into the pitch along with the 82 Janetta and that’s the nibs that’s the lead car it is indeed so Aiden Hills will be taking that one over both of them have competed in the uh Mazda Marti m Matata trophy championship last year I think Aiden still also races a mazra MX5 Mark I so a bit of a difference from a small Mark III MX5 to a 3.7 L Jetta G55 here come the BMWs uh the quickest BMWs with all pass on the back now he’s uh playing catchup he’s Stone last at the he’s five laps off the lead he may have had to obey a blue flag there course he’s made a stop but that was a technical stop and it was outside the window it was so he hasn’t technically served his pit star because he had that shredded tire and so papovich was also in a bit early he was he looked it from the clock so but Dylan has been in twice uh according to TSL timing screen so he so he has oh he’s in oh no big butt wrong Janetta um that’s the uh nibon Hills car that is currently in serving their driver swap so the way that this this has to be uh executed is the car comes to a halt as I can see the N portion now coming in so the car has to come to an halt engine off belts off open door exract driver and then you reverse that process with the engine cannot be disengaged until the car has come to a complete stop with the time Drive timed pit stop it it doesn’t put too much pressure to execute the driver change quicker than is comfortable to the drivers and the stream currently looks at Matt Sanders that car changed color fairly recently was blue and white is now one of orange color another leader and it’s n Bradley in the 47 who leads at 14 laps now he’s yet to stop [Music] and uh Nathan wells in second place he also has yet to stop so we’ll wait for the Stagger to unwind to see who comes up next uh of the stoppers but uh Jamie sturge is looking good Jamie just done a personal best a 118 862 BS and Bradley still together all past basically forming a a spect a spot right behind them naan well looking on the inside line in and 73 that’s Matthew Sanders going in as well from what is effectively third place oh we got a three wide for me not quite all pass deciding not to commit to that well he still got the door open right ahead of him Wells and Bradley side by side coming down into the chicane David Harvey is a little bit slow ahead of them is there a problem for the lus or is he coming in yeah coming in again oh trouble potentially for the superchar Lotus 340 but these three BMWs are putting on a great show yeah Bradley Wells and Al pass with them that is a fantastic site isn’t it uh Bradley and Wells running one and two uh Al pass has leapt up to uh to what 14th but a long way off the order very true indeed but that’s not stopping them having a good go at each other on this particular shot we’re looking at on stre It’s Bradley from Welles the the pressure really is um is off all pass isn’t it nibs has the best lap of the race a w 18364 that’s fastest by good couple of T over Nile Bradley and there is the affle mentioned Janetta St 188 so um he’s not hanging around and in qualifying early on of course um uh nibs nibs Hills stures I’ll pass all those cars in the [Music] [Applause] [Music] 117s and Nigel must no he’s turning off he yeah he’s disappearing the uh mighty Volvo has had enough doesn’t want to play ball anymore uh Al pass coming back in now this is his this is his proper stop is scheduled stop y Bit Lane is still open and will be another few minutes goes the yellow Volvo and that’s disappearing off as it is a shame we’ve enjoyed the company of that Mighty Volvo or Mighty Volvo by name at least but still entertaining us out there in the race lead n Bradley not wanting to give Nathan Wales any leeway whatsoever these two are the only cars yet to see the pit Lane they really need to do it and they oh can they afford another lap o not really I don’t think they don’t really want to push it that [Music] close it really depends on what the clock is saying by the time they come back round to us there’s the mosa just going through the shot littleit on its own now aew Leighton in the suits me BMW lost his playmate the Lotus we saw David Harvey pulling that car in earlier on Nathan Wales having a look on the ins sideline coming down towards the chicane but no too far back and again you see he’s getting really really loose under breaking this is exactly what we saw they go together they come in in tandem they knew they they left it to the last minute I bet you they were waiting for the other one to react and they see who makes the call see who rolls the dice and get in there but they realize they’re going to leave it too late if they leave it any later Wells is another 50 m down the pit Lane he’s gone past uh Bradley effectively but they have to stop for the amount of time they should leave together the Spotless H2O Car absolutely immaculately turned out isn’t it absolutely stunning it it’s been that color for a little while or that delvery for a while just checking tire pressures there was the tires get hot the pressures tend to rise so they will let just a little bit out just to get it down back to an Optimum tire pressure we see you Nate Showmanship I was going to say we do see you you’re a little bit ult to miss sir especially in this glorious Sunshine that we’re now enjoying here here at thron here in Hampshire so it’s now going to be a case of who gets their timing right between these two yeah because Jamie Sturges who who pitted quite a few laps ago he is currently fourth he’s 3.7 seconds behind Hills in the nibs uh TVR number 82 but both of those are charging around and here comes the sorry the Janessa the um right behind them as Jamie Sturges though in Thea and the BMWs here they go the black one goes first and they’ve been overtaken they’re going to be third and fourth they’re going to be third and fourth as they come out Chris oh 15 minutes of qualifying laps then for the BMWs they come back out in tandem so either they’ both got it absolutely right or they both have got it wrong by the same margin we’ll know if the penalties flash up on the timing screen Nathan Wells still glued to the tie track TR of his pursuant that that’s just show has come around and shown that he’s on 18 laps bearing in mind that the timing beam was is probably been interrupted before they properly left the pit lanane so we’ll I think the timing beam gets clipped as they come into the pits oh okay but he’s not a he’s not a laugh ahead of um he’s not a laugh ahead of Bradley cuz they’re together on the track as well so he’s not a lap Fe of the field we’ll see what happens when they break the timing beam once more unless there’s a transponder failure there or somewhat but they’ve been absolutely they’ve been in each other’s Shadow all day I think we’ll see an an 18 laps come up in a minute for Hills in the uh in the Jan started by nibs which is just coming through now that that’s come back Bradley’s come back 17 laps so that is 18 laps uh for Hills and for stures and for Sturges so then the BMWs will be hot on their heels that’s that’s come down sturis with uh a new PB personal best 11 18555 gained about 710 of a second on the Janetta last time around he there so we are going to have a battle for the lead and the battle for the last Podium spot well before that checker flag fall he’s out trouble for Mark Wyatt looked a little bit slow coming past us he’s not as quick as Russell Humphrey anyway he’d be the first to admit that um and uh he is running down in what seventh place now in the Interceptor racing BMW good little tussle there between a couple of BMS as well out there on the track as uh the Beamers go two by two our pass is just on a his best lap of the race one 19575 funny he’s couple of seconds a drift of where he was in qualifying so maybe something’s not quite right as Matt Leon gets past the number 33 that’s Dean Beck and Shane Taylor I believe in their car te Beck the started the number 33 still glued together Bradley and Wells battle for third about to go lap down M’s about to go a lap down Richard guy in sixth place still making well no Go pass making a lot of noise coming past us yeah and the Gap is 2.8 now 2.8 between first C go getting very very busy the genea getting stuck behind the mosa doing the right thing just taking his time that’s definitely going to cost him a little bit of bit of momentum bet in the left hook of Mosley You Don’t See Much of out of the mirrors I can’t remember seeing much when I drove good well be but that did certainly hinder uh Hills doesn’t seem to have cost cost him an awful lot of time to Jamie stures though 2.8 when they came over the line last time around that cap doesn’t look an awful lot different as they they’re coming through the camera now but we’ll see when they cross the timing line once again that’s right I think from where he was sitting another couple of hundred meters back Jamie sturon had the time to read that situation he didn’t have to react to it but just probably saw with a grin that it was um inconveniencing the leader and then much closer that’s not 2 point something seconds at all much closer now as they come past us so got a novice’s BMW to pass and the Gap has come down to92 of a second uh at 20 laps the uh novice cross on the back of the BMW there just indicating that they’ve yet to get their six signatures but we welcome them nonetheless to this series look at this this is so close Jamie Sturgis now can see into the soul of the of the nibs Hills Janetta so very very close now that KOA really back on song looks like n Bradley has given himself a bit of a breathing space CCR making about 380 break something like that it’s it’s a lot of power going through the front wheels of that uh TCR car it’s only in that reason that turbocharge 2 L engine is H keeping the janeta very much on song The janeta with a the 3.7 L Ford Mustang V6 uh under the Bonnet the uh that’s are MX5 veterans at the helm of it we did see that janeta out in Donnington sadly didn’t see the flag but he’s going absolutely great guns here and there goes stures on the inside line coming into the chicane is having none of it and keeps the position see stures coming gives a necessary racing room but denied is the lead change this time that’s a key part of this race it won’t U it certainly won’t um showing stures he he he will come back he won’t put him off he won’t be daunted by that but some people kind of think okay that move is done the Janette is like I’m small enough to squeeze through this Gap I’m going to go for it so coming out of the complex once again good exit from both of them couple of car lengths between them that five or six caring they were still were still closer together that lap despite that sharle at the uh uh at the about a tenth difference in sturgis’s favor sturis is so so good on the brakes isn’t he absolutely he just somehow manages to slow that down you see when the nose dips and you just think that’s sailing off into the Hampshire Countryside somehow probably a chunk lighter it’s got certainly got more arrow on it and here it comes back back up the hill comes the SE this is where the seats have the advantage over the Janetta has a look one way but the door is closed goes for the outside line is that reallyis going to pay off and that’s too deep for Jamie sturis he’s going to have to bounce over and give up the advantage and that’s going to cost him valuable time 3/4 minutes to go Chris that was that was a good effort but ill fated well defended though from Aiden Hills knew exactly how to position the car to defend against who was a a veteran racer Jamie Sturgis has raced a variety of different very quick Machinery knows exactly what to do and still Aiden Hills did a fantastic job of closing door is slowing again with the BM Chev afraid but yes it was a couple of years ago wasn’t it that Jamie stures in the old golf did something like a 118 and 152 mph on road TI road legal tires I remember the car yes staggering absolutely incredible the hill and it was heavier than the than the other car he was racing at the time I to recall samel pass coming back into the pits again in the somewhat sick BMW well that is likely to be the last we’ll see of that car with less than eight minutes ago there’s something very wrong in the rear left corner of that that is bouncing in a very unhealthy way so that’s had uh a major issue straight into the paddock and that will be last we see of that particular car as the jetra found the back of the super BMW of Matt Sanders oh that’s that was interesting so a 197 the 193 it’s 1.8 seconds 1.8 seconds at time 11 191 and 19.3 in fact so a couple of TS eak by the leader despite the slower car to negotiate at the chicane Bradley third he’s 8 Seconds drift of the lead pair um and Wells is closing in on Bradley again orbe it by a couple of T here and a couple of T there Sanders and guy are fifth and sixth 73 BMW is fifth guy in the MLA is in six as he been for some while but there’s the janeta out front on these screens far these days made in uh up in lead although the originals were made in suffk where the four wet brothers made agricultural buildings made their first kit cars effectively back in the 1950s that the company of course has changed hands numerous times over the years the jeta was actually oh and ser has run really wide he’s locked up he’s had a spin he’s gone around at 180 uh degrees he’s kept it out of the barrier which is something but uh um just trying everything he knew new to get back with uh Aiden Hills and he’s he’s rejoined behind Bradley in 47 will he get gobbled up by Nathan Wells as well not yet not quite well that would have worken Jamie Sturges up somewhat pushing as hard as he is now is he getting back up speed it looks like it we’ll see if he’s able to just get back into the Rhythm just reset himself and get back into that all crucial flow they come through the complex once again br getting past the back marker BMW there now with Sturges having to do the same then Wells so yeah that that would definitely uh shaken Jamie St a little bit not necessarily shaken his confidence but he’s just going to have to ReDiscover where the grip is But Here Comes Nathan Wells that’s the back Mark that’s the back Mark he’s going past A La Car put it that way and Nathan Wells has now got the taste for um a Podium place because he can see murges up ahead with just under 5 minutes to go going to one final sting in this in the tail of this race CH good well be good well be Sanders has made a bit of a mess of the chicane went in too deep oh and a spin that’s Bradley that’s Bradley going round that’s gifted sturge second again Welles is now third oh he’s pulled out in front of the mosa oh truth it was a good thing that Richard guys saw n Bradley and saw what he was doing but oh my goodness that could have been somewhat nasty that’s Richard guy anticipated that one may not have been as close as it looked at me in the commentary box with that uh God’s truth that was a crisis averted thought there might be a final sting in the tail of this race and that was I don’t think that was quite what you anticipated it wasn’t careful what you wish for well indeed commentator curse is strong in you today Mr pie no we haven’t got Jeff bloxom here the uh be where the incidents are Jeff is snapping away big smile behind the [Music] barrier what I was coming on to say earlier on actually the geneta G4 was actually one of the first cars I saw in my very first CCC meeting really yeah G4 was a nice little card yeah nidel Winchester they handled really really well well yeah Nigel wiester pushing his car along to his little tent with his little tool box yeah right next to John Coon’s Mighty great transport back in the mod Sports days there was a local couple John and George Gould uh who were based down Ringwood way they had a mod Sports one uh the John absum W still races with um with the cscc and other clubs um in the hands of Brian Lambert someone going very slowly is that is that is that the Mosa Mosa shaped I think it might be down at uh that church I reckon it is it is it yeah we’ve got it on the screen now and Richard guy the mosa is crawling up woodam hill goodness me well if he’s lost all Motive Power he is coming to rest there unless he can find something Boxville of neutrals perhaps but and this I’m afraid could bring an early end to this race because couple minutes to go it’s pretty much sorted the order is sorted just thinking and that’s now oh a brief cough of Life there from Richard G moset but the last no dice out of fi maybe certainly possible TI fueling here comes the leader then no sign of the check it flag yet aen Hills gets to enjoy another lap of this incredible circuit as Jamie stures has found the back of the red flag red red red understandably so with Mosler in the fastest part of the circuit and in quite dangerous position the Marshalls can’t get to it with the circuit live that is absolutely the right decision the race has been halted so your Victor will be the number 82 uh janeta G55 of Michael nibs and Aiden Hills second was Jamie Sturgis in the number 99 seat with Nathan Wells after all is dueling with Nathan Bradley n Bradley excuse me uh claims the last Podium spot n Bradley in fourth in the 47 with Mount Sanders in the 73 claiming fifth with the Humphrey Wyatt number 98 BMW finishing sixth in the end Rich go being classified as seventh in the mosla then Ronin Bradley in the next to the Beamers in eighth with the Billy and car n Porsche in ninth with the Beck Taylor number 33 rounding out the top 10 the rest of non finishes being Sam all pass me David Harvey Nigel mus Ross Irving Dylan popovic and Aiden Bradley so to confirm the uh provisional uh positions as they currently stand there it is then so after 27 laps the nibon hills number 82 claiming that top spot in the jeta G55 Jamie stur is in second in the Turbo Charge say cpra 23 Nathan Hills rounds out the podium three in the N3 46 DTR n Bradley the 47 car coming home in fourth with Matthew Sanders in the suits me number 73 E46 in fifth place then Mark Wyatt bringing home the Interceptor racing number 98 BMW e92 in sixth position Richard guy despite the fact you didn’t find the checker flag in the end but he is classed in seventh place three HS behind the leader Rona Bradley in eighth position of the number 78 E36 M3 then the N family number 54 B GT3 Carrera cup the car they only bought in February and there today with it first day out in anger they only had 2 and 1 half hours testing leading up to this point that wasn’t all in one day either the Beck in Taylor number 33 E46 comes home rounding out the top 10 the rest were non-finishers Sam all pass as we know in the 6 theer M4 uh didn’t find the checker flag David Harvey in the Lotus 340 along with Nigel musell and the F S60 Ross Irving in his BW Golf GTI mark one and Dylan popovic from his Jetta and Adrien Bradley in the M3 E46 that’s how the provisional standings sit and of course these are always open to uh any kind of judicial action we’ve got a few cars that have parked up right by Kieran McGinley see if he’s found some drivers to have a chat to so an early end to our liy moly slicks but let’s have a chat to some of the drivers then probably the top three let’s see who we can find there we have Aiden Hills who’s jumped out here of the race winning car and he’s giving a handshake there let’s see if we can uh well let’s see if we can jump in here and see if we can get an interview uh we’ve got Aiden Hills here Aiden uh premature end to that race but you are the winner talk us through it because that was a pretty interesting race from our point of view yeah we had a nice lead into the pit stop and then uh basically I couldn’t tighten the belt up so our Pit Stop was probably 20 seconds too long and that that just brought the TC car back into us and uh traffic really really cost me I had had a nice Gap and was sort of trying to just manage to Gap but he’s a lot lot better on the straights and on the brakes that TCR car is unbelievable so I just trying to trying to put the car in the right places when he caught me and thankfully it yeah it led to a mistake and that gave the last few laps a little little bit of a a nicer run should we say was it a relief to see a slightly smaller TCR in your mirrors after that yeah yeah it was stressful to be honest yeah I mean I’ve done a lot of racing in my time and it’s the first time I’ve raced this car um so massive thanks to Michael nibs and safe site for letting me trust him me with his car and got credit say credit to him he drove amazingly for the first half of the race so well done Michael um but yeah yeah when he when he uh when I saw that I had about 15c Gap in the end I just I saw could Cruise then it was much nicer yeah great stuff congratulations Victory is is Michael around here at all or is he he doesn’t like no no he’s probably run off somewhere so he didn’t have to talk to you yeah you know what good call all right then thank you very much Aiden good for the good for the chat let’s have a chat to Jamie stures I think he’s just here Jamie second place congratulations is that what might have been what could have been perhaps um I think that’s kind of probably where we deserve to finish I got a bit ratic at the end I I I guess that that might for the wind so uh that’s why I made a few moves and I got down the inside we were level we did we did 2/3 of the chicane side by side and then and then um he s squeezed me a little bit and I had went over the rumble strips on the right hand side and the couple of laps later I had to go on the outside and went a bit deep and then a few laps I went really deep on the outside onto the grass backwards through the U behind the tires but I didn’t hit anything so that’s the important thing but um yeah it’s fun race but it was uh on the edge all the way absolutely great St get some water in you congratulations on your runner up and we’ll just have a very very quick chat here with Nathan Wells because what a battle that was for the third place spot talk us through it from your point of view CU you were battling in the pits I know yeah I was about an inch behind him coming into the pits but then I thought I won’t be mean I’ll come out straight behind him as as we were cuz he’s mad Irishman he’ll probably have me off but um yeah it’s good fun um yeah I sort of overcut my tires a bit so I was losing Pace throughout the race I think my fastest La was one of my first ones so now got past me um then we had a good battle um I just couldn’t get the thing stopped into the chicane there something going on with my breaks today so we have to find out what is but then unfortunately vard made a bit of mistakes I got back past sorry I’ve got to cut you up because we’ve got to go to our next race but thank you very much next up though is our co-ord Sports tint tops pumac cup and modern classics [Music] onwards then to race number five three categories take to this one it is the co sport tin tops the pumic cup and the modern Classics so of cars isn’t it huge there were 52 entrance all in all including reserves coming in to qualify 46 went out in the Q session earlier on Chris and it was Stuart durn who was involved in an incident the previous race in the TVR tuskan challenge uh who qualified on pole the 12 6195 seconds ahead of Adam Brown going great guns in the Ford Fiesta ST 150 car number one Dave Griffin another driver to have had issues earlier in the day uh the Aussie in his BMW M3 E36 he was on P3 and Andrew windmill uh second of the uh tin TOS with the very very rapid Honda CSL type bar as he call it’s ep3 Civic um here this durn and brown Griffin and windmill that’s the top four then it’s Roger Hamilton in his Janetta behind him then it is Gary bow with the hzza Integra then we’ll get to Richard field with the omnipresent proton uh then we get Clinton Yan with a BMW M3 E36 and the bethl and menley car is on Ninth that’s running Cleo uh number 318 then it’s it’s Steve pworth with his Honda and we go to Russell and Nick Hamilton Michael Russell bmwm3 Nick hamiltona G20 uh then it’s the Scott uh which is a foul Richard foul with his Cleo Chon alongside Smith and Bellamy Reynolds origin with Clark on row nine then we go back to Rob Hardy we got Rose got plac and Davis sharp and clovia that complete the top two dozen and there’s so many more to go the Copo barely over halfway up yeah we’ve got CLA next Wilshire and Johnson Ford and the Hayes team are next up cck Grove and pal cockro one of the pumers pal next man and Lane trayon Jackson that takes us to uh 36 cars U MD Donald and Baker Ral leg and wall f and brain and rollinson they are on row 21 and are there going to be any more well we’ll see when they get back here the uh durn TVR is none the worse uh for the earlier incident I believe 42 is the maximum that can start here uh certainly we well you can start some uh in in qual you can start plus 20% according to regulations so that would be make sense be about right yeah gives us the uh um the full grid we had expected and this should be an absolute Corker because uh there they are such a great range of cars so and there’s a great range of characters out there as well it’s just one of the things I absolutely love about Club racing is the people behind it is it’s great knowing about the cars and of course we we bring you as much information as we can but 128 going into the pits that’s Liam Place Liam place oh dear trouble then for the Toyota Corolla quite an unusual car and now has pulled into the pit is it pulling out it’s going to its team rather than to the paddock area so there is going to be a gap on the grid where that Toyota should be there it is now on stream that’s a bit of a shame but they still they still the last cars still haven’t actually come through the the uh chican there you can see on the stream this remarkable yeah it’s absolutely amazing how many in the variety of cars as well you’ve also got the Mazda RX8 down there we’ve got the pumac cup as mentioned uh along with art 2 ler tint tops now um The Tint tops are categorized by engine size but also a few uh other little caveats in there the B1 categor is for French models uh 2 L on individual stroke multi- throttle bodies and B2 is French models 2 lit on single throttle bodies uh C is for for festers only to up to 2 liter and then it is C the further categories dealt with by engine size the uh modern Classics purely down to uh engine size ABC and d uh M is for M cars with 3 l and 3.2 L s50 engines and T is for TBR tuskin of which just the sole occupant of Stuart durn is in charge of right the field look at that what a field tusin BMW Fiesta and Honda taking up the front row lights are on we are racing here in thron once more as we’ve got someone still on the line the number 91 cars and move that’s one of the Masters now getting going a disastrous start there for Lee pow this being his second year racing with the club but does manage to get away roaring down towards the complex that’s durn fending off the advanage of Alan Brown TBR tusin staying ahead of the moment of the fiesta then Andrew windmill in that incredible Honda of his just manages to niit past the Hamilton they share those um those two geneas it’s Roger I believe in the red one that’s right they’re about four a breast through Campbell cob and Seagrave Chris absolutely amazing in the Midfield but out front they’re already streaking around the back uh of the uh circuit here with durn in the gray at TVR Tuscan challenge car 5 L just just holding sway uh from Adam Brown looks like Andrew windmill going after him down into church they go so tricky on cold tires Roger Hamilton is fourth Gary bow is fifth a griffin is six bow got a fabulous run out of church and you saw the Honda Integra charging after the janeta but jeta’s got to the she came before him Andrew winmill looking round Adam Brown D le who leads Adam Brown is second wiill is third Hamilton is fourth farow is Fifth and it’s Griffin then it’s the 33 BMW Michael Russell the Primrose colored car and behind Michael Russell it’s bethl then field then Nick Hamilton completing the top 10 of and pworth they’re still three wide coming over the lines two two or three still coming through the okay where’s the leading pummer um I can see one has got away from the rest it looks like Johnson in 163 uh clear of Claire and Jackson so Ste dav’s got himself a few car lengths of breathing space over Adam Brown defending off the advances of Andrew windmill is determined to make his way towards the front Andrew windmill is carrying a TW sorry a 3 second winers penalty for winning uh the class out here sorry winning the race overall at Donington last time out so when he serves his Pit Stop although for tintops it is as fast as you can do it’s the only class that’s running that uh type of P pit stop this year he will have to be stationary for 30 seconds like it or not and then serve the mandatory Pit Stop element so now seeing the Janetta fending off the advances of the Integra so that is Hamilton against barow against Griffin Dave Griffin’s had a lot of success here with that BMW in the past currently Sixth and sixth place the top three remain as they are continuing to Gap the next group and Nick hton was absolutely all four wheels over the curbs in the second of jesses uh the the blue one there he’s uh just keeping uh Bethal and field babe field in that unusual uh proton he raced that for a long long time usually races with his son Richard Jason field uh it is just senior that he racing that one at the moment um Richard bethl that’s actually Tom meny’s former car that they are now sharing uh Richard bethl took that one over I think last year yes he did he ran it a few times was third out in Donnington and in 10 tops race was fifth in Croft last year so is’s hoping to continue success and development with uh Tom mens’s help need to look up the starting drivers to see who started Tom menley is starting that one a little bit further down you can see the number 10 car that is uh foul was fending off Advantage from behind now the top three coming back towards us in the commentary box again win having a look at the outside is brown is slightly wrong footed he’s boxed behind the TVR he had nowhere to go as Andy windmill tucks in behind the fiesta once again yeah that’s it the CV with that sort of bandaged nose as a result of the incident earlier on Andrew wiill comes around the outside towards Allan in the 888 the raised Wheels Honda that’s had a big diet over the winter carbon seat uh it’s got these lighter rims on it and some other niceties have been added and into the pit we’ve lost one that’s Michael Russell I think in 33 it was indeed the prime Rose BMW the m336 coming in he was one of our numerous reserves for this category the pit Lane is not open won’t be for another 5 minutes so uh too early for Michael we haven’t seen that car for a few years 2019 was the last time we saw it so it’s a bit of a shame to come back after a few years and have an immediate problem as we see windmill again hustling Brown hard now leam places back out so the Toyota Cor did manage to oh no that’s a retirement that’s the one two three car that’s Paul clo there the Sussex Road and race Renault Cleo 2 200 is pulled off not 100% sure where that is but it is quite some way out of the firing line by the look of that camera shot yes trying to pick up where that may be meanwhile Adam Brown doing what he can to keep the ever persistent Andy WI M behind him Andy whill again trying that outside line has to concede it the freester bounces off of the Apex coming through the chicane again closes in on the tusen but just is gunned rather he’d rather hobbled himself windmill by going a little bit too deep and having to make too many adjustments to the steering which me he couldn’t get back on the throttle hard enough coming out of the chican that lost him bit of time but he’ll be back and most certainly will the Hamilton in their janeta uh were United on the lap charts but they still a few seconds apart Roger Hamilton actually carries a 22nd winners penalty from being the modern Classics winner from Donnington Park uh a few weeks ago so the penalty structure slightly different between modern Classics and tintops for tintops the winers penalty is a 302 penalty that persists throughout the entire uh season and every successive win thereafter gains another 30 seconds added to it so 30 becomes 60 becomes 90 Etc to serve for the rest Danny kasan um negate with a bit of help uh 2 minutes before now I think it’s pretty rare but is certainly doable when when a yellow comes out at a sort of certain time and and the leader has stopped and you know Etc I think the dice have to fall in your favor it’s a shame we haven’t a shame we haven’t seen Danny kasar Here Comes windmill again trying that same move outside line coming down to the chicane again Adam Brown he knows better to defend it he’s got to be careful though he can’t just look behind cuz he closes right in on the tusken as come out of that chicane brown in the fiesta was superb out of the chicane he just hopped the curve he was on two wheels he put his foot hard down and was really challenging the TVR uh which has got a mighty V8 under the Bonnet so um the the two saloons giving away a big chunk of power to Stuart Doan the leader with the TBR tuskan challenge amazing stuff Ste D of course we’ve already seen out unfortunately he that incident that Chan last time around hasn’t slowed him down at all but are they lining up to be side by side Andy Wimer has got the run on Adam Brown This Time inside line but the fiesta somehow manag to defend off the advances of the Honda very very nicely done now did Andy wind back out of that or did an the momentum and then now traffic they’re now catching one of the back marking fum is side by side Brown nearly got alongside St dayb burn there and now he’s wrong footed Here Comes Andy wind tries to get the inside Line This Time on Adam brown but oh goodness me there is battles going on all over the place you just see them at the back of the shot windmills still side by side and doing everything he can and just about again fends off the advances of that ultra light Honda yeah and it’s it’s under breaking where that Honda really scores isn’t it and this time I think a little bit more circumspect from Andy wind think he wants to get the exit speed from the chicane this time that’s been costing him up to now he got his personal best lap last time and there’s a whole uh gaggle of traffic to negotiate now uh and the T TVR has shot through uh a couple of them at this point and uh they round another I think it was a Cleo they were going past coming up towards the complex there is our leader then and it is number 70 Stuart durn but look he looks in his mirrors those two white and blue uh tint tops pesky tint tops are still there absolutely incredible isn’t it 5 L tuskin being hustled by 2 L Fiesta and 2 L Honda but that is what we love here with these mixed grids there’s plenty of battling going on throughout the field but one for the lead he’s absolutely culating at the moment it is superb yeah very very different drivers very different characteristics there’s John Baker in the Satsuma racing Cleo also one of our driver representatives for the club sum racing sure it’s not an easy peeler Bravo sir um his designation not mine oh now as Adam Brown got an opportunity here he’s managed to wrong foot the TV perhaps put off by I think that’s the man um Mazda now Andy windmills capitalizing side by side with Adam Brown coming down to the sh but that’s a position he’s been in so many times they’ve got one of the Odell fiestas right ahead of them and Andy windmill swings around the outside has he manag to finally dislodge Adam Brown yes he has that is windmill up to second that was a beautifully constructed move from Andy windmill helped by the slower car ahead of him of course but uh he put himself in exactly the right position what can he do now about lead us to October that is the ultimate question now Andy wiill is no stranger to winers penalties he’s had huge amounts of success in that incredible Hond of his look at the pack they’ve got ahead of them that’s James CLA in the next of the pumers alongside I think that’s Jackson in the green pummer and then is one of the ma RX8 so quite a field of varying cars they’ve got to be very very careful to tip the tiptoe their way through of course they’ve got quite a power Advantage oh then D’s been wrong footed again he’s been boxed in behind that’s Alan drain in the number 42 box dur Randy windmill doesn’t need a second invitation to that but Adam Brown followed in through he’s staying in the Honda tire tracks but now surely is the the opportunity Andy windmill needs he doesn’t usually need an invitation he’s Supreme in that car and he’s claim that win perfect timing well choreographed that’s the lead to Andy wiill oh D thinking about it though Adam Brown is thinking about it as well he’s going to try and Andy windmill’s own tactic tries to get the outside oh side by side coming into the next one Andy wh’s got to concede bounces over the Apex Adam Brown bullishly way gets through and dber gets the exit of Kings coming through the chicane can he get both of them coming through all side by side Alam Brown doesn’t want to relinquish to the I don’t think he’s going to have a choice durn in the tusen still side by side coming up into the complex he’s nailed the pair of them before they get up to Campbell and now again the two tint Toops getting side by side bit of a nudge potentially it couldn’t quite see from the camera wind back up into second just unbelievable what a bad attle this is and oh and a big moment for Stuart Dean he jumped on the power and that big V8 chimed in so strongly it snapped the tail out of line I think it took windmill by surprise didn’t take the wind out of his sails though did it it wasn’t going there but yeah you could oh look at that Stuart David just perfectly positioned his car to prevent an attack from both of the Honda and the fiesta behind now Adam Brown trying to find a new line through as they’re working the way through the traffic here as much as we’d love to to talk about the various battles of various other cars these three are stealing the show for the overall lead of course steuart durn way in the lead of the modern Classics contingent the next one down the road is uh Dave Griffin in his BMW with that’s some distance back into the the uh into the chicane once again Andy wind cannot get the traction he needs remains in second M Brown gets a decent run from the ex the chicane he is he’s had that door very firmly slammed in his face remains in [Music] third not sure whose engine’s louder there actually the pair of tintops or the mighty tusen I think the pair of screaming two tintops are sort of certainly equaling the the grunt of the V8 up there a little bit further apart this time but as soon as they get to traffic I think durn is a little bit more circumspect because he knows that he’s got so much grunt he’ll fry those rear tires at the slightest provocation and so he’s got to try to keep them together there’s another 26 minutes of this race to go and there is Andy windmill in the ray Wheels Honda on Civic CSL pit Lane is open a few cars have opted to take an early pit stop I can see field came in with the proton I noticed think barow has been in Bow’s been in as well men’s Le cast that’s now Richard Beth the car owner in command of that one but so many cars still out there fighting for their bit of real estate there’s the 119 we’re looking at on stream Dominic Rose usually shares that car with Paul Masters along with that Porche 8 we have already seen that we saw it competing in the open series another couple of cars in the pit getting very busy now Liam play coming in again because he started more from the pit Lane more than pitting earlier on so he’s now pitting in the correct window there’s the top three that’s 10 laps down number 69 car is also in that is Charlie Ford uh joined us this year in that 2 L cclass for Fiesta sd150 another lesser spotted item actually is the haze family that Toyota supera that’s not a common car 42 comes in another the Porsches that’s Alan dra several cars coming in a couple of the Odell cars as well the Odell cworth is in in the fiesta then the second of the Hamiltons coming in in the blue Janetta along with papworth in that Honda Civic the Odell uh Motorsport team maintaining several cars uh the fiesta and the Honda that we’ve seen also Chris herward car he was a reserve he uh there was no room for him unfortunately in this grid there’s that 420 Civic we uh saw that earlier on that’s a bit of a fight there between between Rose and foul coming through the chicane but foul is coming in in the number 10 so that battle a little bit shortlived the Rena Cleo serving that pit stop as well as big Porsches in yeah the 911 car that’s not actually 911 you know what we mean the 5.4 L Porsche 928 GTS and d whill goes into the pits he’s got a a Red Lotus elas ahead of him but that’s freeze durn and brown Glenn Davis uh dve beg your pardon in the Red Lotus there you can see on the stream Andy windmill coming in now as a reminder he has got 30 second penalty to serve with the quick as you can pit stop it’s the process I somewhat described earlier on so come to Hole engine off belt off out the car shut the door open the door and back in again if you’re a single driver of course that is where you conduct your driver swap if you are doing one as the haze toyot to Super it comes in to serve exactly that wi’s already parked up in the um in the Penalty Box in The Penalty Box so 30 seconds stationary and then he can do the mandatory Pit Stop element that will seem like a lifetime won’t it sitting there with everyone else charging past absolutely so now he’s serving his penalty so that’s why his engine’s still running and he will conduct or should conduct the N oh that’s a slow that’s a slow mover that’s that Fiesta SI that uh looked a little bit with Paul McDonald there goes Richard foul in the number 10 car he’s done his pit stop along with the also coming into the pits the COK Jaguar Father and Son combination uh in command of that one David Bellamy in the P 106 shouldn’t they be strangling through the bushes in search of something oh that’s never a good sign no that’s uh Clinton Yan I think it is it is the 236 BMW who as when I was speaking to Andy whitmill earlier on he said that this was the car he actually was having a great dual with it’s possible overheating issue there having to manually insert water any wind is still there that’s sure there not been 30 seconds by now time flies when he having funr but uh the here he comes there he goes so on his merry way so of course that uh 30 seconds is going to be or minus the tiny bit of Advantage he had coming into the pits but now is when he’s going to really push that car if he had anything in reserve in the first half of the race he was just going to do full on qualifying naps now yeah constant charges through through traffic as in when he finds it and uh there the C Jaguar the top four haven’t pitted yet Griffin did his personal best last time round a 127 for 4 33 Andy winmill is Honda screaming his way through the field just getting past the I think it was the 82 car that’s Mark Lane and his Honda Civic new coming to the club there is Dave Griffin in his BMW the CET Livery D goat car flashing of the lights just alerting oncom here that he is on his way up CET that was um the Morris team’s of Winery wasn’t it T moris backward yeah Dave Dave r or G can’t remember one of the one of the Morris lad drove really really well West suff racing maintained car but it’s a it’s not an original it’s a it’s a tribute car Dave Griff is an Aussie there’s Stuart D in the 70 oh it was Jeff braam excuse me I just checked my notes on that one so I completely guess that one wrong St a had a lovely chat with him earlier on you see the tri packs supplies Livery or the emblem on the front that’s his company in comes 27 that’s the lead of the two Hamilton brother Roger Hamilton brother of Nick he has a 22nd penalty to serve as mentioned the penalty structure a bit different for the modern Classics as a reminder the modern Classics uh do have the time penalty The Tint tops is a fast as you can do it Pit Stop rangement which does seem a little bit confusing when you mix the grids but uh the makes sense it it does make does make sense when you compare each class to itself wi is 11th incidentally at the moment in the 888 car so it goes to 13th as I look uh because of course he’s not completed that next lap but he’s certainly down in the mid pack and uh we’ll be charging forward Here Comes Adam Brown and uh he dives into the pits he’s uh the deao leader uh now on 14 laps the Hillwood Autos in blaze and Fiesta he’s shared John Hammer’s absolutely stunning turbo VW shuro uh in the past he’s also shared the New Millennium spec uh Honda that Danny kazai usually pedals for Nigel Nigel age glad you knew I was talking that one oh hello Mr Griffin getting a little Larry coming through Campbell whether he was slightly offut by the back marker there or whether he’s just giving it all the beans he’s had yeah he’s he’s now the leader uh effectively because he’s yet to stop and he’s one of what three in the top 10 who haven’t theyve Griffin in the diet coke car the others being trying to look at the timing screen is it Smith and Rose uh yes so it’s C Smith in the 420 Honda we saw earlier on and Dominic Rose in the ren Cleo yet to sit the pit Lane few more through the field yet to but vast majority of the field have seen the pit lanane in comes number 66 that is uh Ben brain and Wayne Bok who started that that was Wayne boock the started that one so Ben brain taking over the black R clear 172 as Dave Griffin gets caught up behind leam place in the Toyota Cora there the inside line benra the racing vet the racing vets out comes Adam Brown young prot Griffin leads then in the 43 how long for he famous number enjoyed in NASCAR by King Richard Petty who I see is coming to Goodwood for the Festival of speed very nice 200 NASCAR wins across his victory from randman North Carolina oh it’s getting busy getting into the chicane with the Hamilton Brothers side by side oh goodness me that’s a sibling squabble going on there they’re still having to go at each other yeah one has made his stop and one they both made they both been in yeah but after the that 202 um extra stoppage for that previous win for uh Roger for Roger they’re running you know they’re they’re running second and third uh at this point on the road at 15 laps amazing janeta g20s 1.8 L in those things again you got one for each foot and but they’ve regularly been it’s like a yeah a pair of slippers absolutely absolutely let’s do it dayb bir really now the sunsight you really do see the C but it wouldn’t be a Club racing meet without someone’s car being gaffet take back together let’s be honest that’s right it’s uh it’s part of the part of the show someone’s got David Griffin in Griffin is in David Bellamy I think has got something hanging off his car or what it looked like when he came past us look like there’s something flapping on the front in he comes G bow about to be overtaken by the 888 Andrew windmill chares I got a little bit close com necessarily saw windmill coming I remember Gary bow having um an Airborne moment at setted a couple of years back which uh Airborne moment they’re always under steer in the air don’t they yeah they get a little bit awkward when there’s no traction to the floor there the Hamilton bro still trying to decide who’s who who’s head so Nick then Roger Nick leads Roger at the moment so Roger came home in third at Donington Head Car of the modern Classics and Nick came in second uh sorry sixth overall second of the modern Classics so he’s looking to you one back over his brother on this occasion Rose has fastest lap of the race 124 223 king that’s that’s somewhat again no disrespect M that that’s it’s rare to see a fastest slap from a so drive this legs of the race it usually happens much earlier on it’s come up of that and uh the rest of the time look D bur’s best is a 26 fear that may be somewhat apocryphal yes somewhat disingenuous there Griffin’s back out Griffin’s back [Music] out and so much side byid going on there are the Hamilton are swap round so they’ve decided that uh or Roger has decided enough to enough he wants the race lead to himself which he’s now claimed and Griffin has the lead um over the uh over the Hamilton Brothers I keep hearing squealing of tires there’s a lot of tires to look at who’s squealing oh Nick you’re kind of stuck there between behind the number 46 Fester oh three of breast into Allard and uh red Hamilton goes through on the inside from from Blue different from reded Air I wonder yep I love that Livery the uh the btcc inspired Livery on the Puma that’s the 163 that’s Luke Johnson that’s such a superb looking car but look how busy it is oh John Baker you’re very popular now as you’ve now got an absolute flood of cars around you yeah John Baker s pulled over and thought don’t fancy this knows realistically he’s not in a battle with them so just lets them go the the pumers are so close together uh Claire and Johnson are um absolutely together James Clare has been a front runner in the pumic up for a number of years and remains the stalwart to the series it’s a shame there’s not 10 of them really it is a bit of a shame because they they they’re wonderfully cost effective method of going racing they still have exactly that yeah they still have things like the radio and the dashboard in it so obviously the they stripped out as much as they as they’re allowed to but it is quite a homologated series so you can’t throw silly amounts of money at the car and get an advantage it’s it’s uh a single spec it’s meant for just that one mark of bumer so um yeah but it is a bit of a change that we don’t see more of them but the ones that we do see are doing battle quite nicely James play ahead of Luke Johnson at the moment they’ve also are in company with Alan wheelchair in the Valhalla for Fiesta the number 45 car take me to Valhalla take me to very very good beer from our local micro Brewery noted there’s Adam Brown the number one Fiesta former race leader he’s now in fifth place two more pumers here in close company Stuart durn wns his way through them Stuart durn fourth overall the sun has really done away with the clouds now so that’s going to raise the temperature somewhat tires May well struggle a little bit more as we’ve got just under 12 minutes remaining of this race has everyone done the pit stop certainly that we can see the top 30 have oh side by side Rich a foul oh that was if that wasn’t contact that was exceedingly close between himself and the uh not entirely sure which clear it is that was even having an argument with but that was very very close indeed no harm no foul on this occasion didn’t mean to make the pun there but that was made made it nonetheless I apologize in advance I’ll be escorted off the field for that that’s Matt Chon in the number 40 clear the beckfield Motorsport car that Richard F was having an argument with Dave Griffin just coming past them and Dominic Rose in the next car with Jackson in the green pummer 1.8 seconds between the Hamiltons now but they are whopping 36 seconds off the lead BMW how on Earth I can understand um the Hamilton with the with the mind you Nick was down further down the field seventh or eighth or so before the P stop so that’s just the way the cars are falling but Dave Griffin making hey with the sunshin and the Sunshine very high here in thron there go sturn thr in fourth place and we’ve got the last of the unlap runners that’s Adam Brown in car number one also doing some uh racing at cast c this year and Dave Griffin the race leader comes through now he was leading at Donington by quite a long way we had a fuel system problem saw this Huff of vapor come out of the car and start to slow thr the pic off he said probably me crying he said oh no you never want to see it these things do sometimes happen still the field filtering through this again there there’s the teeth in blazing Porter Boer Rob Hardy who runs the veren builders company based in theel around near Al atin mild stomping ground it’s always a joy to have a chat with them oh that is very close the Odell Civic so you arrived too late to go to the uh to the great or Hill Climb sadly yes which is very very close to where you are or were where I was yeah born in reading and so I know the all de Master very very well oh we’ve got an off that that was the car going slowly at the back that was of trbl off onto the ground yeah was Paul McDonald I think in the fiesta oh no Gary ballow the number 30 car has failed in the H Integra first outing this year for the car and that’s the RJ Moes also part of the Hillwood family has come to a Hal in the pit Lane to take no further part durn is now second so the Hamiltons are now shown in eighth and n makes me wonder there’s a trans well I wonder if there’s a transponder problem there because uh that’s two laps they’ve been penalized for that’s the case so that seems a tad harsh Andy windmill is continuing his March where is he showing he’s now sh fourth behind yeah windmill fourth so it’s durn Brown and windmill I can believe they they’re in line of stern but quite where the the Hamilton’s filter would not enely certain but uh again another reason why sometimes the uh results are provisional as uh discrepancies like this can challenged yeah wimble’s the first of the lap Runners but the the Hamilton are suddenly way way down not certain on that okay we we’ll come back to that one [Music] later more battles continuing as we continue to see Richard foul number 10 R CLE 172 fending off the advances of his of his playmate there’s Andy wi now on his own free of challenge there is Richard foul we were talking about oh no Dave Griffin slow or is no so Pon is he’s not slow that’s the Toyota the slow the number two that’s the hay family Toyota slowed in reaction he saw the yellow flags and he had to wipe off most of his speed oh going to be a little bit unfortunate for Richard foul it won’t cost him too much but he’s still being challenged by the number 40 of Matt Chon but in comes the now sick Toyota Supra has it lost its turbo I wonder it’s in it com this is where you’re very grateful for a 36C lead yeah absolutely so I mean Andrew one of the Hayes Brothers was actually going to race his own toy Toyota Sela um GT4 car in this meeting but they decided to share this one instead um the father Roger used to race the family Toyotas with the with the boys as uh Richard Beth gets makes a almost makes a three wide trying to challenge the COK Jaguar which COK is heit uh Richard started so there Lawrence that desid at the moment that’s C senior has has that one from oxia very very very busy coming through the complex is uh Rob I think it’s Rob Hardy couldn’t quite see which one of the Porsche box this almost got a bit of a punch in the face there but there’s Rob Hardy just coming through complex now so it must have been Alan dra that was half head Tangled in all that lot there’s Richard Bethal and in the inside line on the treble one car that’s KY wall it’s a minute and 10 seconds between Griffin and V but there’s Brown and Windmill and they’re back together just going past Griffin so with Griffin yeah yeah so windmill has just unla himself from Griffin effectively again with with 30 second penalty that Andy winmill had that wouldn’t have put him a lap down seem so but um but Brown and wiill are absolutely together again and they are now on the same lap as each other which they weren’t um until windmill managed to unlap himself from Dave Griffin they certainly have dispatched of the diet C BMW now brown ahead of windmill again G 299 that time round Chris slower that they then so was brown wh was the quickest of the three setting the race fast as that was that [Music] 26 oh no that was a little while agdon wow windmills whilst we were looking at that windmills already gotten past Adam Brown so what I was saying earlier about Andy windmill keeping something in reserve for post Pit Stop he is now absolutely deploying his right foot not being as heavy as it has been [Music] now Paul mcdonal back up to speed again in that fourth Fiesta but yeah Andy windmill leaving nothing behind as he gets into the chicane Adam Brown just behind him but it doesn’t look like Adam Brown’s got an answer D bur’s now showing as the leader leader interesting by from Brown from Griffin uh 29 26 27 27 makes me wonder there’s been a transponder error somewhere somewhere down the line I think there’s been a transponder error that’s that’s been corrected but either way and look at the Gap Andy wm’s already given himself in just one lap he’s got himself half a dozen oh my goodness me that’s a lot of cars that are now all streaming their way into the chicane whatever lap they’re on they’re all going to be arguing for their own bit of real estate I don’t understand how windmill is made back that 30 seconds he was stopped in the pits so there’s there’s some some dark arts going on somewhere if he’s consistently two or 3 seconds quicker than the rest of the field he needs nearly 12 15 MPS to do it yeah but he’s he’s lapping in the [Music] 206s 2 SS for 27s for brown it’s going to take a lot of laps to make up 30 30 seconds St in the middle of the race any Whatever by the way go up we’re to absolutely as on stream we see Lawrence COK in the bright white xjs with an absolute Army of cars behind him this already all challenging for positions there’s our two boxers that’s dra and [Music] Hardy and dra with the number 42 Rob Hardy in Bruce the Porsche oh side by side almost is Richard foul alongs side Matt Huron no changing position there and Hardy were lap of pass incidentally um Hardy oh Adam Brown wow three the needle between a pair of pumis oh struth that was a bold move most certainly and it did pay off but Cy of it that certainly woke up James CLA interesting well James Clair was the lead of the two big buttons so that was uh who was the other one that was Luke Johnson suddenly uh was ringside seat to that flash of the lights there again from Dave Griffin alerting guy ahead of him as Al Wilshire I believe 25 laps down meanwhile for Stuart durn one and a half minutes to go two laps then Andy windmill still pressing on durn from windmill from Brown as it currently stands at least and wi’s going to get another 32nd in position for the next race isn’t he because he’s at the head of his group lead of the tintops he will indeed and Danny CAU who was in the box with us at Donington it was oh kind of ruing the fact he wasn’t out there slugging it out with his old sparring partners at the moment I was talking to Andy windmill earlier on he was the last guy I had a chance to chat with before coming up to the box and uh he said yeah was uh he was slightly disappointed that he didn’t get to to spark out with his uh you usual playmake but he’s still really on a good show nonetheless so for modern Classics the Winner’s penalties a 22nd penalty for the winner which currently stands as one of the Hamilton oh it’s Roger Hamilton red Roger I must remember that I’ll use that to try and remember which Hamilton is which until they switch cars which they do sometimes still or they share the same one and yeah Roger Hamilton pared by the roadside Adam Brown is hanging on to the last Podium spot against the advanage of Dave Griffin Dave Griffin he’s going to be second in the modern Classics nonetheless so if the race PES the way it is now although the checker flag is being Reed for the next time around Force do dayb Dave Griffin having a look on the inside line coming into alart against Adam Brown has he done it no he hasn’t Fiesta remains ahead of being done at the moment so the way the winers penalty works for modern Classics is a 22nd penalty that doubles each uh following win but then comes back down by that same incr where they’re going to catch the red um Elise that’s going to be it’s there with rer Hamilton his exit of the um exit of the complex oh Glen Davis stay over to your left and he does Glend Davies a few flashes of the lights from Dave Griffin probably trying to put off Alan Brown coming [Music] through I won’t insult him by trying to imitate the action checking flag R you must be very hot in that suit sir so I mean he’s pretty warm up here in the okay the comary Box does act as a greenhouse but to then put on a a furry animal costume fair play to it just seeing this animal’s head hanging out the flag box is a little bit strange but the recipient of the checker flag coming through your winner for the tin to pumic Modern Classics race is number 70 Stuart durn in the tus and the windmill will take second Adam Brown just and only just hangs on to third overall with second in the modern classes going to Dave Griffin Steve papworth in the number 14 uh Honda will then take the uh third place of the Tin Top fifth over all Nick Hamilton the surviving of the Janetta Hamilton pairing finishes hit sixth with Clinton yuan in seventh Reynolds and Rin number 46 car that’s their usual uh usual toy that they uh that they have those two that comes home in 9th although there was a shuffle of the order then yeah men Beth came up suddenly into fth Beth menley is now registered in fifth place so there’s definitely some strange oddities going on with the with the timing unsurprising that uh Andy Hamilton just gone back past okay say Okay so the timing tricky is still continuing rather than me trying to read out and uh constantly changing constantly changing finishing order we’ll wait until everybody has crossed the line and then we’ll give the provisional finishing from that Reynolds and Rion as I was mentioning they uh they’re in a Honda Civic now they used to share a Reno Cleo they switched over to the Civic typar as they’re still developing we sometimes see that out the New Millennium class which isn’t here this weekend again some wonderful but sometimes fragile Machinery we see there but that is our fifth race of the day coming to conclusion y quite agree provisional results are ready so let’s have a look at where they currently stand of course there are adjudications to consider but as they currently stand it is Stuart D the Victor in the TBR tuskin challenge second is Andy windmill in his Honda CSL tyar then third Adam Brown in the fourth Festa st150 fourth Dave Griffin in the BMW m336 fifth is Steve papworth in the number 14 Honda Civic typ then sixth is Nick Hamilton number 22 gentic G20 seventh is the 236 car of Clinton H in the DMW eighth is the bethl menley 318 Rena Cleo ninth is the Reynolds Rin number 46 Honda Civic typar and rounding out the top 10 his Maiden season with the club is Matt Jon in the number 40 renle 182 managing to overhaul barely the number 10 so great effort from both

the 119 Ren CLE coming home in 14th Place 15 David Bellamy in the Persia 106 in 15 Adrien Clark in the Porsche 928 in 16th Place than the fire in sment COK bearing in the jaguar xjs in 17th Place

his m336 Evo and Paul closier in the 123 Renault Cleo I think only just all of the cars have come back into the into the bit Lan as you can see on camera several cars have pulled over ready to have a chat to K again well that’s an end to that race unfortunately Stuart durn is in the next race so we won’t be able to have a chat with him what we can do though is have a chat to our second place driver in Andrew windmill Andrew congratulations second place and fastest lap how was that out there because you’ve absolutely gone through that 2 L bottle of water like it’s absolutely nothing um that was brilliant fun really was I mean the first half of the race the first sort of three cars just dicing swapping for the lead I mean that’s what we do this for it was just brilliant fun um Adam and I were literally door handle to door handle and it was as clean as you like absolutely brilliant so yeah but I didn’t expect to see anybody after the pit stop because of the 30 second penalty um so to see Adam and catch him and see P2 on the on the pitboard I’m just yeah speechless it but it was just really good fun really enjoyed it I mean was there any chance of catching Stewart in this one or was the 302 penalty just too much to overcome this time um apparently another two laps but I’m not so sure he was he was flying and he was consistently flying um and you know with traffic you have to give everybody you know let them get on with their race so there’s a few laps where you drop a few TS but um just glad to be back in P2 glad to bring it home in one piece it’s a pretty warm day and uh yeah live to fight another day absolutely you spoke about the traffic I mean 40 plus cars out there what’s it like trying to manage through that um what’s it like yeah I mean you you meet groups of cars having their own battle at the most in opportune moment and um you just I mean I’ve got a button on the steering wheel that flashes the lights just to let people know I’m there but you know if they’re committed to a corner you just have to try and pick your way through maybe change down a gear so it it gets interesting but um you do your best great S Andrew congratulations on P2 and I’ll let you probably fill up that bottle of water again and finish it off again yeah absolutely congratulations well done uh we’ll have a chat now to our third place driver in Adam Brown Adam you had a great battle with Andrew there and well about less than a quarter of a second between you and Dave Griffin across the line there at the end that was a bit of a eventful race for you it was yeah I mean we were really strong at the start which uh we didn’t really anticipate to be up there with the modern classic cars uh but we were really strong at the start which was great brilliant battle with Andrew at the start uh we came into when we came into the pits I’d lost the clutch so when I went to pull off I stalled um the the lads pushed me as hard as they could to get me going as soon as possible but that’s where we lost a boatload of time to Andrew uh and then the biggest mistake that I made was I came out of church and there was a white flag for a slow car but it looked pink in the light so I thought it was a code 60 it was alongside a bat marker so I break to not overtake under code 60 and that’s where that’s where uh Andrew got back up to behind me and I couldn’t quite get back past him again but it was it was awesome race I said Dave Griffin caught me at the end uh but I wasn’t going to let him through as well no definitely not but uh I mean from your point of view then your race had a little bit of everything what was it like trying to keep on top of it uh it was it was quite difficult I mean Massi credit madad and and Tom on the board trying to uh at least tell me what was going on so I could try and figure out bits for myself when I came out of the pits I saw that the uh sh durn in the TBR was down the road a little bit so I could sort of gauge where I was roughly uh but it it wouldn’t have been possible without the lads on the on the board so massive shout out to them I would have loved to just have one more lap just to see what you could have done about Dave Griffin keeping him behind you are you thinking the same on that one or are you just happy to see that checker flag uh I was happy to see the czecher flag but I’m pretty confident I could have probably uh probably kept him behind I say the uh the AC of Val Alliance Fiesta is just absolutely on Rails at the minute so uh it’s it’s spot on so I’m fairly confident I could have kept him behind on we’ll see great stuff Adam enjoy the sunshine enjoyed that P3 cheers thank you very much and uh with that then unfortunately as we said no Stuart durn he’s in the next race the next race being the advantage Motorsport future Classics and JMC racing special saloons and mod Sports [Music] the second visit then of our advantage Motorsport future Classics and JMC racing special saloons and M sports are in the holding area absolutely resplendant doesn’t look like they’ve turned the wheel they did battle earlier on in the second race of the day and now they are lining up to uh for race number six of the day as a whole great then much the same as the first one but we’ll run through it nonetheless on the front row is number 309 Danny Morris in his Puro alongside Tom carry in the number 31 Honda CRX on row two is the number four the Ellis Nellis to Sun Moon motus alongside Craig Percy in the v moris Miner 63 has take fifth position that’s Jeff field in his to Sun noce alongside 184 Tim B in his golf row four is the number 56 car of Tony Maran alongside 351 of Darren in his Porsche row five Jamie Sturgis in his number 87 BMW alongside the nardon pay in there 18 188 BMW row six is Andy South following the 10 Place penalty for winning the first race starts him in 11 position alongside number 26 Paul Doan row seven is Alex thisle th got it right this time in the number 68 car alongside 156 John hamersley in his Astra row weight is 122 which is Jerry Bailey in the r one alongside Colin Clon in the number 86 car Ray bar in the number 97 as alongside uh Donald D in the 170 row 10 is number 60 which is Paul Turner alongside Steve fry in the number 65 Mondo row 11 is the 166 Thomas braer alongside the number 92 Neil Vaughn in the Chevrolet Corvette Road 12 number 93 is Gary Cole in the citon BX alongside number 4 49 Matt Saunders rad 13 is number 70 we didn’t finish race one just finished the race that we’ve just seen that’s steart D in the CBR tuska Jim sewards in the number 89 Triumph alongside number 10 which is Thomas Henry he alongside 501 Alex child and finally number 76 which is Dean Clayton so these are our retirees from the first special salons of M race sounds like we’ve got a fair amount of noise down there are they being released I can’t see from the position see some I think some of the tints are actually still leaving the way oh no we do have some action on track for specials Cs and mots have been released for their second visit to this incredible circuit here in Dron as always Marcus I’m looking forward to this yeah very much so the special saloons and mod spots are always spectacular always quirky and a good mix there with the open series cars as well and it was amazing earlier on to see how well some of the uh less modified cars did uh in the field um earlier on we had problems with Dylan popovic’s car uh which show it HT lead in in the first race OD he’s got to go from right down the back I think he can get it going again but uh he said there were no guarantees and I’m not sure that I can see it there I can see Stuart durn sort of starting right down near the back of the yeah Dylan poic wasn’t on this grid no he hasn’t made it out so but the car went into a kind of limp mode after that first race here they go then rolling start and a 10 Place draw at the start for Andy South who won the early one he’s up into about fifth or sixth already at the rolling start oh side by side for John hamersley in the as I’m afraid uh in the tr8 oh the the Triumph still playing difficult for Jim seawood through Campell go Z grave then Danny Morris still leading the way Craig Percy in the Morris Miner with the Ellis Nellis Lotus can’t say it Lotus to about Sunbeam Lotus that would be it that yes right word wrong order oh look at Andy South gotot still carving his way through the field in his mighty mg yeah this is quite sing isn’t it there he is behind Craig Percy in the Morris mup not for very long Goodness Me is absolutely charging he’s up into what looks to be third fourth place third isn’t it I believe that’s third yes so that’s behind uh well they’re coming into our site now and it looks like he’s already having a go moris out front that’s second he’s having a go with but second to but Sunbeam that’s the uh the black that’s the Ellis nisis one and he’s going to have the inside line I think they know it so no Tom kry uh in this is missing the Honda CRX is is absent unfortunately so Danny Maris doesn’t have his usual Playmate and he’s going to have the company of Andy stha charging towards him very shortly Percy’s fourth Tony Maran is in fifth place uh in the Porsche uh which is going very very nicely the 944 and behind Tony Maran is is Jeff beel thunderous Roar of that Corvette C3 as usual oh it’s getting a little bit up close and personal coming through Campbell COV and crave think Craig P’s lost a spot to the Marian Porche and he’s got Paul Dolan um in behind him with the orange Lotus land what’s the Stuart D coming to oh well there’s there’s Tom carry There’s Tom carry he was out but Al last trouble as before out but he is now out he is very out he trouble as before in the Honda once again well due to start alongside Danny Mar on the front firing in the first race from that sort of exhaust Area Fire was smoking at the end of Polly as well that’s pulled off just after kson hasn’t it it’s just out of our sight I think here as that’s Craig pery been challenged by Jeff Beal a blue cor Motors then trying to challenge the moris miner Tony Marian still trying to fend off Paul Dolan in the 26 Tony Maran is has been an instructor around thron for many many years he knows how to make that P so he knows how many Blades of grass there yeah he does he does superb how many are stuck in his wheel room Dolan goes through into Allard takes that place the 2 L Lo L then overcoming the porter 944 Craig Percy keeping Jeff beel behind at the moment how long he is able to hold that we will see oh there’s another slow mover coming into the chicane that’s that golf again that had problems with this morning wasn’t it it’s Clayton isn’t it well spotted yes Dean Clayton alas the uh new investment not working well that’s actually wrong backwards that’s that’s not going to help but was going again oh he’s managed to probably threatened it with harsh words and got it back running again Basel 40 got beat it across on it with a beat with a tree code 60 has been uh wise to continue I wonder I’m not sure well he’s chosen to do so I would have thought bringing it back into the pitch would have been the better option code 45 at the moment but here’s Danny Morris all his own what’s happened to Andy southcot it’s a very good point well Andy southcot is down the hill somewhere there so Andy southcot May well have had a problem with some description that’s been exasperated by the fact that the Marshals are now recovering Tom car’s Honda or Honda alike how much actually comes from the Japanese manufacturer is debatable uh 3 fth of nothing beyond the badge as far as I could see that’s the special special slings of M Sports way isn’t it absolutely right so 1475 for southcot green flag racing once again so it was inde needed to recover Tom car’s car now the cars are all over the place so the first three are well spread Jeff beel on stream with Tony Maran right behind him Paul Dolan just ahead Craig pery in the moris miner [Applause] behind I mean that moris Miner alone makes such a thunderous Roar that uh turns the head as it should at 6.7 ler V8 it’s absolutely stunning and from the back of the we got Darren Clayton there from the back of the grid uh there is durn uh he is up into Ninth Place ahead of Alex swe in the oval Camaro 1968 Chevy Camaro running number 68 abute Army of cars coming past us as the stream has just picked up the Sturges golf’s going right now he does seem to have been it’s got pair of Alphas in its mirrors he’ll be pleased about that with the citran BX and a tri to and then Hardley moves out to the chicane and the alas go by it looks like he has got some kind of intermittent issue that he’s trying to drive around which probably isn’t the wisest thing yeah see in tichar our veteran commentator of your would say U shutting down probably to admire the Alpha Romeo 105 time CL from every beautiful angle approved approved and there goes Danny Morris completely on his Lanson uh where is southcot he is exactly what I just he’s gone has he gone through he has he gone through 10 seconds he has Morris he’s gone through 10 seconds the road so Morris is on a 150 on that lab South’s gone disappeared the distance okay TSL here theyd know they got the transponder access well true enough true enough we wait to see what’s going on when they next come past this but I didn’t actually see he was that fast we didn’t see him but a 150 for um for Morris which would indicate a problem for moris an issue somewhere out the b as it got cold again Dolan is fourth be is fifth Marion is sixth Percy is seventh B oh there’s southcot just bouncing past the uh Alphas who are enjoying their duel so southcot is is absolutely flying through he’s just catching Neil for in the earthquake inducing chevrol Corvette C3 if you were to command deer any one of these vehicles Marcus oh of these I just have a real soft spot for that perso I think it’s absolutely stunning and the fact they’ve done it all themselves uh with um with their friends at home’s racing um and I was instrumental in pulling together the spirit of art RPM kind of ethos around the car and the wonderful stickers we had done uh in the um in the wake of poor old Ricky Park Morris’s passing um that I I love that car it’s a great thing and when is on song my God is it incredibly but my favorite back in the day was the 50 50 years John Turner Scot Chevrolet which was absolutely awesome such a strange sentence to hear isn’t it SC chevet did 2 he built the car that’s trouble that’s gone bang isn’t it that’s the that the Claxton escort I think it is indeed yeah that’s the pull it together over a winter and in the Woodyard down in uh in stbridge Dorset did 25 races over 23 weekends nine wins and a class win and just wonderful so yes the that’s that that’s that’s smoking is a bad habit at the best of times but but uh yes that is hopefully that isn’t depositing liquids or what have you all over the place as that is crawling its way back into pit Lane so not been a good day in the office for the 86 escort the rest of the field continuing along their merry way very busy up there in Campbell carbon SE the pers the perso is in trouble because Ellis now is very slow very clear second place well Dany moris did elude that these things were fragile and alas disaster has struck the 501 oh I’ll tell you what he’s doing Marcus he’s pulling over for you to go jump in another go 5 309 beg not it’s not healthy so sadly uh he’s out of the race me to see the Citron BX which is the most unlikely race car somewhat I i’ had wanted to catch up with Gary C and get the story on that but sadly it didn’t get a chance to but that is quite an unusual vehicle mind you I didn’t actually I asked you the question of which vehicle you would come and do I didn’t answer it in return and that’s because I still can’t make up money they are all absolutely fabulous in their own way do I go with well for instance with looking at the Nardo BMW chasing the kamaro 68 we’ got the another spec of kamaro there a later spec kamaro Ray Barrow R Barrow who’s won here in the past and you like I know you like the Rover the Rover is good I am somewhat partial because it is quite a rare in in CCC circles and the Livery is great that Toshiba Livery was raced by Kurt team in Period the Dane the just European yeah Championship not not his not his actual car but one dressed to look like it oh that was a big hit off the curb there from the naon car slightly further down the battles are all the way down the field aren’t they there’s no battling out front that’s for sure I love the look if if I were to pick one which would be exceeding me hard because they’re all amazing cars it would be this 92 Corvette coming past us I would just love to try and andain 8 lers and what on Earth that is like absolutely hopeless at it I mean I doubt I’d fit I’m not exactly small but uh I wouldn’t mind never go or D’s about to make another three places he’s got pery Maran and Beal ahead of him great mind he started from the back of the field having not finished in the first of our special SL and M Sports races he’s working his way through because that car eligible for future Classics and modern Classics because of the eras that car was built in they were great fun those TVR tus and did a couple of rounds one with the RO wish I would have seen GDs full of them I really F in the Rover went had the Rover engine I tested one with the ajp which is unbelievable and then drove the O in a Formula 3000 rainard at pem oh ow a pretty impressive speaking of uh Neil vaugh in very Corvette that was whacking there about Alphas are looking fantastic together aren’t they they do and they are not leaving each other alone they are keeping each other going and really pushing each other very very hard indeed there is Paul Dolan should Lotus Al land generally seen in BMWs but is bringing out the very very quickly loaders of land yeah that was getting a bit snaky wasn’t it well there could be fluid down from the retirements that we’ve had so it will be here the alphas along with the bone shaker Beal dber Marian Percy and look if yeah Beal is still there in in fourth but that he’s about to get deposed there’s two and4 minutes to go suspect he’s going to be gobbled up here by the ever charging Stuart durn are dancing around the alpha romz as well we see again the C3 Jing into c c Gra an absolute huge flood of cars behind the alphas have split up a little bit have we lost one oh no there he is they split up slightly because there’s a lot of other cars around them B getting through the inside there goes d as well near just trying to get out just trying to stay out of trouble there go sou at through for the ninth lap oh checking Flags out it’s been flagged early okay he been flagged early we’ve got a there is someone stranded somewhere then so Andy southcot makes it two for two in the advantage Motorsport future Classics and special of mport second is the Ellis and Ellis to but summoning Lotus the car I couldn’t say properly earlier on then Paul Dolan come home in third second of the special L and mosw Jeff Beal will claim fourth no he won’t because he’s just been overtaken by up the hill he has the tusen the uh battles great tusin with the oh gives it a kick of the tail coming through the chicane as well those tires must be absolutely on fire by now that’s through indeed goes durn into fourth last to Fourth not bad effort whatsoever with Jeff Beal rounding out to the top five Tony Marin in sixth Craig Percy comes home in seventh Here Comes Darren clayon in eighth yeah and uh Alex got uh [Music] through into Ninth Place as the race has progressed ahead of n BMW LCA nardoni absolutely on his tail and John hamersley chasing him home that ISS everybody I believe so that is going to be it for our future Classics and the special saloons and mon Sports we’ve only got three races left Mar we have all good things must come to an end what do we have we have uh coming up next the ramier BMW Championship and Duram Builders open series returns for its second race then the mg Trophy and B Jack opponent jagu Championship they run together for their second outing and then at the end uh a 40 minute slip streamer for seven magnificent s so provisional results then of race number six of today Andy South making it the double in the mg Elena then it is it was Matthew Ellis that brought home the to Motors in second place Paul Dolan in the Lotus land third steart durn and his Titanic TV tuskin in fourth Jeff Beal in fifth in his S Motors Tony Maran in the p in sixth per Percy the Maris rer in seventh position Darren clayon in his Porche in eighth with Alex fle with the Chevrolet kamaro in ninth with the nardoni pairing 18 18 BMW rounding out the top 10 the club chairman John hamersley coming home in the Astra in 11th position with Donald D in the VW Golf GTI in 12th Ray Barrow in the Camaro in 13th with Jerry Bailey in the Rover sd1 in 14 Jamie Sturgis in the BMW m525 in 15th Paul Turner in

tri dite Sprint in 21st those not seeing the techer flag with Danley moris in the perso and Colin and Dean Clon in the escort and VW Golf respectively bit of a shame for them but uh a great uh race

think he’s built but yeah so thanks again to Mike um race engineer or whatever um I don’t know what happened uh cuz Tom obviously didn’t get well we didn’t think he got out but then I think I passed him so he must have got out I don’t know unless it was another car but um I don’t know what happened to Danny he um there was a code 60 wasn’t there is it code 60 where you got where you got slow down to 100 mph um no 60 kilometers sorry um was just a joke um uh and I don’t know and then he got away from me I don’t think he saw them and then around the corner here he was he I don’t know he was going really slow but then there was a green flag and I just went so yeah so I don’t know what happened to Danny yeah he he pulled into the pit Lane not long after that so uh yeah to retire but still

here Paul just a quick chat for you because we’ve got the next race getting ready underway third place though second in class how you feeling yeah brilliant absolutely made up yeah I started from 12th so I didn’t think I’d get that far up the grid so y absolutely and I had a bit of an incident in race one so to come back from that yeah well happy great stuff and I have to say black overalls in this weather is a good good interesting choice yeah well what can you say can’t afford two sets so you know at least black doesn’t show the D so much great St thank you very much Paul and congratulations on third place up next though it is the ram BMW Championship and ver and Builders open series [Music] leaving the holding area then is our seventh race of today’s festivities as kier’s explained that’s the Rama BMW Championship and the verm builders open series so a split grid again let’s have a run through of who starts where for the seventh race of today it is graen crur on the number 15 car alongside Nathan Wells on the front row row two is 47 Neil n Bradley alongside Manny Evans in his number 62 absolute monster Row three 89 Michael vuli alongside 32 James card row four is 27 Paul Cook alongside 612 Adrian Bradley row five is number 26 Brian Branson alongside 76 Jason West as row six is number 25 Ben pearon alongside number 78 Ronan Bradley row seven is number 17 John Wyatt and the number three 33 tayor back car on row eight is number 82 J Kari alongside number 43 David Griffin and the final word the BMWs is number 44 oliveres alongside number 10 in Chris now for our R buers open series they’ll be starting behind well hopefully we hope hopefully we won’t have the same kind of difficulties we had last time around so starting on the front row for the ven Builders open series is going to be the 136 car Oliver Smith alongside number six jonan Strickland then the 189 car Bruce Wilson alongside number 67 Darren McCormack then is 134 Richard green alongside number 236 Clinton Yan 31 Ross Irvine alongside know 111 atrian Clark then it’s Martin Dolan number seven alongside 420 Kev Smith and finally it is number nine Dylan popovic alongside 141 of Oliver Gill what a series we’ve got here they come looking absolutely Splendid in the Hampshire Sun yeah behind that uh awesome safety car which represents BMW very nicely at the front and that’s a lurd shade of parakeet it’s something quite spectacular isn’t it it is you’re going to miss that in a hurry are you it’s actually dark it’s Pitch Black it’s just that thing that’s actually Illuminating everything in the countryside yes the stripy car of gr curst is back on Pole Nathan Wells for that kind of uh almost Stars and Stripes lied uh E46 GTR BMW alongside then we’ve got the black cars on row two of uh Bradley now Bradley in 47 and then Matty Evans who with the 1M Coupe 4 liter car uh he should get the power down really well and may well Challenge on the opening part of the first lap as they’ll funnel into the complex at Campbell cob and Seagrave looking at that next group of cars and I don’t see any sign of the Dylan popovic sadly nor do so that’s that’s gone Fallen by the way so that means that olle Smith still leads that uh section in the one 36 the bronze BMW one of two BMWs that’s not in the BMW pack if you see what I mean I think we’ve lost we’ve lost someone from next to Mr Green uh the the sixth car in that uh in that open pack has gone there only seven there only six open Runners now left way s the BMWs Matthew Evans didn’t make a good start in fact he’s three from the back as they get to Allard so didn’t quite work for him huge amount of wheel spin for Nathan Wells the car almost sideways in the road as they come down to the complex for the first time in Anger already a lock up there oh something very very deep on the outside that’s Wells he kept it together that’s he’s been struggling with his car all day he there’s Pace there but it’s trying to make it stop as he said was bit of an issue wasn’t it well yeah I mean there’s not a lot lot of breaking going on here but there is some somewhat significant breaking going on as uh the BMW’s now work their way through the Hampshire Countryside all so far so good no one coming to grief but Nathan Wells a horrendous start yeah Manny Evans towards the certainly the back half of the field getaway it just didn’t it didn’t hook up at all only but he got a little bit of talk a play that he get through curst then from that’s Ransom that’s Brian Brom got less B than ARA and oh that’s that’s that there there’s issues there so something’s gone horribly wrong that’s pitched him off into the grass as that’s a challenge there from the 76 car on Nathan well so it’s Nathan Welles day going from bad to worse it would seem then a bit of a kick of the tail as well that’s Jason West that is putting the pressure on that GTR but it is still positioned to Nathan well so it’s kohur from vuli from Bradley your top three here comes into the pits with somewhat rearranged front is Brian Branson yeah Brian Branson went off of the outside of church and the front spoiler buckled underneath he filled the uh uh the RADS oil coolers Etc with uh with grass and it immediately started to to smoke a bit so at that point you come into the pits and um so right that’s the day over M Evans alongside that Pearson uh Ben Pearson in the turbo two series who was a little bit on and off the pace in their first race M Evans manages to get past him so then now the total Char that little be’s got to try and do something it’s not going to do anything against the next Bradley that’s coming through so that is the trying to identify which one of the um that’s the the Bradley with the Adan yokoh colors isn’t it as I think it’s Adrien Bradley in the 612 car oh a little bit further up ront that’s Nathan Wells is in trouble as he was fairly easily overtaken there by Paul Cook in the 27 car is that going to be Nathan bit no he’s continuing so perhaps it was a bad run on the way down towards or he’s just being bit more cautious on the Bas and in comes the a mentioned 612 car so that that is Adrian Bradley and Ben Pearson in as well and not Pit Stop race they both called it a day well we know that Ben Pearson was struggling with that guy the first race but thought Adrien Bradley was running okay but he’s just pulled that one straight into the [Music] padic it’s almost like Ben Pearson’s come to rest and waiting for his b crew to come out but uh afraid no one’s going to join you there sir it’s Graham curst continuing to build up a lead then over Michael with [Music] Judy see uh and Nathan Wells then trying to get that position back from Paul Cook don’t manage to do so for now but a mighty GTR is proving a little bit Troublesome for him going back out again Chris curious unless he felt jump unless he was advised to serve some kind of stop go penalty but not well the only reason you do that is if you jump the start either way second third fourth fifth and sixth all together yeah bituli Bradley [Music] cook Bradley Wells cook and West indeed there’s Jason West in the underscore sponsored car there specialist recruitment firm Nathan WS scoring the fastest lap at the moment that’s with some traffic to deal with so he’s had enough free space to get the horses to gallop but there’s Michael Vil at the lead of this particular pack OE Smith ahead of the opens but he’s now CL his way past [Music] the that’s another Bradley in that’s Roman Bradley now coming into the pits another they’re all coming in what on Earth is going on we’ got several cars that have come into the pit number 33 is very very slow that’s the Becket Taylor car you almost wonder and that’s Got U Dean Becket in it uh yes the um the seven was called in stop and go he’s gone out again away goes n Bradley again or Ronan Bradley Bon number 78 going that was very quick so that was more I think that was more precautionary that’s Michael vilei Under Pressure now for second position that is n bradle as I mentioned ear that’s right the Nathan Wells chasing them down and the Gap back and you’ve got 76 there which is the car of West isn’t it uh just ahead of Cook they’ve changed places again I wonder if some of the BMWs are just absolutely cooking their tires cuz now na Wales really out to speed as that’s a big move from Nile Bradley on the inside line and then the tail getting a little bit Lively coming through the complex gets out of Campbell through Cobb and can he hold on to it to through SE grave Michael VY tried to get the momentum he’s caught the inside line here comes Nathan Wells now and wells around the outside look at that this is fantastic up to the long curve that just goes out of our sight with the left-hander he’s made it through that’s two positions and Michael vilia has lost in as many corners yeah so once the door was opened um we saw Nathan Wells take no second invitation to go through it there’s curst with a Lap number 78 right behind him now you’ve got second third and fourth with jile Bradley and Wells not in that order and here comes Nathan Wells can he stop it when he gets to the top of the hill he’s had problems with breaking today only one way to find out he’s trying to line up to the inside line racing room given on the inside by Bradley wasn’t needed as na wild couldn’t commit to it then you got West cook and Evans M Evans is now is he’s starting to get some life out of that e92 in blazent number 62 we will see another fastest that by curst as well tries to get alongside Bradley no such dice coming up to the complex once again n Bradley has been braver on the brakes than uh Nathan Wells so far and that served him in the defense coming up into the compx as they’re now catching the back of ronin Bradley great exit from Seagrave though for Nathan Wells is this an opportunity for him to wrestle second from the number 47 car of Nile Bradley oh is Bradley going to block Bradley there not many times you’ll hear that sentence in correct context well I mean Ronan Bradley is really doing anything wrong he just oh he had to jump on the brakes and that’s Advantage for Tuli momentarily but they were two and a half a breast well they were Village there was he’s come through on the inside I think Nathan Wells he has he’s bustled through the passing the Porsche 928 and vuli is trying to use that as an opportunity to get past n Bradley and here comes West as well he’s gotten past vuli so V juli’s lost another spot now the underscoring Blazing car is going to try and do a move here no Bradley what a move outside line through the chicane Take a Bow that was superb yeah Nathan wils coming back at him Jabs the brakes on the inside side by side coming through all once again he wealth back up into second Bradley third West now fourth fory fifth Evans and cook all together all arguing for second [Applause] place into the complex once again this is as many there isn’t a back marker in this lot they are all fighting for second that’s second to seventh all in that particular battle so Wells now starting to get a bit of traction and starting to give himself a bit of breathing space to his pursuers then you’ve got n Bradley who’s now being challenged by West the underscore car trying to get alongside can’t quite do it yet vudi still has a great ringside seat the battle ahead of him then it’s Evans who is riding in the tire tracks of the red BMW of the ji with Paul Cook uh expecta in the whole lot that is the back marker trying to get out of the way mat Evans looked like he was trying to commit to a move not quite couldn’t get alongside Mar vuli on this occasion Ker’s way ahead isn’t he 11 plus seconds he this is the car that the entry was out of it on Tuesday oh my goodness that’s MADD Evans having to go with Michael vilia that’s another spot lost for the 89 Red BMW as um the Liu Molly and Blazer number 62 gets through such a great liery on that car Michael V thinks about a Counterattack anding into all can’t do it mie Evans shuts that door and he’s now eyeing up Nile Bradley to have a go with [Music] him Jason West excuse me N N’s up in third so Jason West is actually matd evans’s next Target so Nathan W couldn’t actually get away so he did have a small Advantage leading into this lap but that Advantage is gone and N Bradley is dragging everybody else with him so Nathan Wells has no space at all yeah he’s tried to open a little bit coming down to the sweepers after the complex as they go down towards Village the big battle is behind him where uh looks like West is trying to unseat Bradley and the moment n Bradley just about holding on mat Evans having a go as well he’s in there pitching to with the v8 car Evans is absolutely flying so he’s West he’s doing he’s been doing a pretty good job in desperately trying to make up those places he lost at the start at the start yeah was just all came undone so Jason West has been side oh he comes up the outside goes around one of he’s in really deep couldn’t quite claim both he lightly upsets Jason West who’s been on the podium twice uh in the championship so far we didn’t see Jason Wester not par that was a Scrabble wasn’t it somewhat yeah Michael Michael vudi gets into the slip stream as well with Paul cut so still now four cars arguing for what is essentially third it’s a little bit of breathing space for Nathan Wells and N Bradley but it’s let’s see how long it last for oh that’s a lot of back markers as that’s West gone very deep into the into the complex into the pits comes number 33 as the Beck in Taylor car was going very very slowly earlier on being Beck in this race yeah they were trundling over the line a couple of laps ago they decided to call it a day but Matty Evans has as much weedness race as he’s had all race long to work his way back on a recovery drive from that horrendous start M Evan starting in fourth place now back to Fourth and back into fourth is taking him this long to get there Here Comes Nathan Wells catching the back of the number eight car there’s a number eight I’m not I don’t have a number eight but not sure who it is he’s exactly catching there but whoever it is he’s disp oh number six cars Jonathan Strickland excuse me so uh stri staying out of the way as the next now is the next battle and here they are on screen that 62 car with the very Sinister looking uh paint job on it superb looking car in that strick lint very very uh awkward spot for him to be in and he’s doing absolutely the right thing staying out of the way because he can’t completely vanish it is up to the faster C to make their way past the slow one but the slower one has to stay predictable yeah that’s right you can’t just evaporate in that set of circumstances but as much as you’d like to sometimes yeah you’re not expected to just jump off the road and compromise your own race entirely as long as you stick to the line you’re committed to then the fter will make told in the briefing stick to your gun stick to your line don’t move let others find their way past you they’re probably more experienced they’ve got quicker cars and then the outside comes mty Evans down towards church is he going to get past Bradley he’s got past and he’s kept it within the uh uh within the grow stuff that’s quite important there at church when you’re doing 100 probably 140 mil an hour absolutely so another position gain for mie Evans and he’s catching John Wyatt in the gold col BMW Mini just manages to get that one done before he commits through the chicane oh Bradley has to wait until after the chicane to get past the uh the Jeweler from haton G in London even though he’s somewhat out gone there’s still 300 horsepower at John White’s disposal but I fear that in this field that seems somewhat diminutive which is a bit of a ashamed to say but John W a regular in our turbo tin tops category another one that fortunately we haven’t scene this weekend will definitely be joining us for future cscc event tell you what this car beautifully driven the open leader Ole Smith’s bronze BMW is deceptively quick in a straight line it’s a narrow bodied car it doesn’t have the big frontal area that looks so well driven absolutely [Music] so it’s coming through shot once again is Nathan Wells bad Evans is just destroying the Gap new fastest up of the race by Graham kroer at 18 187 so still feeling the need to post despite the fact he’s long long gone down the road and a very smoky uh red car here coming through that’s oh that’s a a big big failure there so into the saw the puff coming up w Hill that’s still hanging lingering kind of over the uh over the top of the track oh dear a quite a catastrophic failure then on vul’s BMW he has pulled that one into the pits as soon as he could do as we see Matty Evans continuing to try his best to whittle away his Gap to the GTR of Nathan Wells was around 2 and 1 half seconds give or take last time around a personal best as well for mie Evans 193 gained 1.1 seconds on his prey last time around that’s getting very busy for Jason West and Nile Bradley behind Bruce Wilson who’s oh he’s going to feel really really really small in that catr surrounded by the Beamers there was a lot of pace in Catrin don’t get me wrong but bit more Grunt in the BMW SP cars so Jason West then continuing to keep the pressure can is he going to try and move coming down into this shicane he’s a little bit too far back on this occasion M bradby remains in fourth place at the moment Jason West doing what he can to usur the 47 car has a look but not close enough into all 11 19-4 for mat Evans that time a new personal best as he reeled in Nathan Wells one .3 seconds last time around and that’s the Gap this time around so if only you get it off the line if only you get it off the line easy for us to say I mean I’d love the opportunity to try but when you snatch 13th from from four from the group within about 100 yards something’s not kind of quite gone right no no that that’s somewhat against the game plan still Jason West doing what he can tries to come into the inside line on Bradley can’t do it now Bradley oh that’s no that’s uh that’s West that’s West off into the grass isn’t it and he’s going to go around but meanwhile Matty Evans has caught Nathan Wells and as they come through the left hand Kink up woodam hill they are into the breaking area around the outside comes Matty Evans he’s done enough to get through oh Wells has got ready sideways he’s spun and he’s going to get going again but he’s going to oh he’s running backwards back of the circuit Oh My Goodness Me Here Comes comes the rest of them we well observed there from Pearson who was the next guy I’ve seen that is a stranded BMW that is almost if if Nathan W can’t get get get that going that is going to be a red flag absolutely convinced of it he doesn’t look like he’s able to get the number 23 going again that’s a huge shame that was a great battle that was for but alas a little bit too late on the brakes that sent the 23 round he almost want just locked the brakes on oh there was a there was a cough and a splut from it then but either way still not moving no sign yet of the race being stopped they are continuing Here Comes gr curst the race leader BMW’s being very very cautious past Nathan Wells there and then getting up to speed again second flag I can see and it goes out yeah to Graham crowhurst at 14 laps and Mr Crower very very happy about it and quite rightly so because he really was unchallenged maty Evans is going to be second great Drive Great recovery drive from him he gave that 62 a right old bootful coming out this game why not a right ragging jumps up to Second as a result can’t blame him really no Bradley is going to be third fourth is going to be 27 which is Paul Cook fifth is going to be James card and in sixth place is going to be the recovering uh Jason West after that huge moment uh at chur chch you can see he was on the grass going downhill and wondering where it was all going to end up I think it’s better to say now that the car is not going to be moved as Nathan Wells is no longer in it so trudging off what a shame he’s had such incredible Pace but alas failing at the last has a brought about premature end to has been a fantastic pair of races for our BMW Championship and V buers open series we wait for our Podium three so grahe curst n Bradley and Maddie Evans to make their way back they haven’t returned to us just yet but they will do comes O Smith he’s actually yet to finish lap 14 a superb effort from him as well like he may well just go straight into the pitch here but uh which he does he’s a long way ahead of the rest in the open I think he was right ahead of crowers when the checker flag came out so he may have thought that yeah but either way he will have deemed to have crossed the line even if it was in the pit Lan thefield continuing their cool down lap provisional results then for this event with the background of Nathan Wells still stranded car gr Graham koher taking the double in his E46 n Bradley is classified second in his E46 with matd Evans superb recovery Drive in his 1 m2a Paul Cook in his 46 in fourth with James card in his E46 in fifth with Jason West in the underscore E46 in sixth Oliver Smith first of the open series C in his E36 Evo in seventh Ben Pearson in the two Sero in eighth Bruce Wilson in The CSR super l in ninth John Strickland in his E46 and 10th Darren McCormack in the his 420r and 11th with Richard Green in his four C 420r in 12th John Wyatt in his BMW Mini Cooper Sr 56 in 13th Place ran Bradley in his number 78 m336 14th the stranded Nathan WS classified in 15th position in the E46 GTR Adrian Clark in the 911 Porsche 928 GTS Cup car in 16th Place there’s not seeing the flag with Michael vuli in his E46 the Taylor and Becket number 33 car Adrien Bradley in the 612 and Brian Branson scooping up some grass in his 26 car not seeing the flag as the recovery operation goes on for the number 23 for Nathan Wells we’ll hand down to kieren McGinley to have a chat with our top three wow a fantastic battle there all the way throughout and here we’ve got Graham Crow hurst’s car but uh no Graham curst at the moment I think he’s all the way over there but uh let’s see if we can have a jump in and have a chat to our race winner two wins out of two for him let’s have a see if we can chat to him gram Graham yeah hand over your stuff uh gram two wins out of two and you made that look easy how was it out there uh yeah I mean I don’t know what happened to everyone else I just couldn’t believe that me mirrors were um empty after what what two laps or something I just yeah got a good start which um I’m not renowned for in other championships and uh yeah it just hooked up went I think it was Michael vuli behind me she got my head down really and then yeah the next time I looked there wasn’t really anyone there so uh yeah I was just was listening to every noise and just thinking just please is just getting me home now so yeah no really good really happy it was a mammoth P2 battle behind you that’s why you managed to get the lead but it’s it’s quite nice when you have a lead like that is it I mean like it is you I’ll take it every day of the week um but you know I do want to battle as well I do want to um earn it a little bit I mean I’ve earned it in a different way but it is nice to have battles as well but uh no I’ll take it every day a week after the year I’ve had so far well congratulations Graham two out of two I’ll go and let you celebrate thank you very much let’s see if we can find n Bradley here he is Nile who’s second place on the road Nile second place for you this time beaming smile on your face yeah we have a bit of time to find out to keep up with that man um credit to gra uh flying flying um yeah no happy happy we’ve been chipping away we’ve been playing with suspension all day uh try this try that because we we really want to try and dial the car in to get the best that we can from it and I feel like if we just stick to one thing all the time you never really know so we’re doing some things and we’re we’re going backwards we’re doing other things we’re going forwards and then but it we’ll get there enjoyed that really good race really good race yeah brilliant stuff and great battle for P2 as well yeah it was yeah wasn’t really much of a battle for me to be honest Marie uh Nathan got pass quite easy mie then there was a bit of a battle we had a better race than race one but he got past so to be honest I was just fighting the whole race and I kept looking at my MIRS I was just like who’s coming next it was just a matter of getting to the checker flag but look we got here and end up and we’re second so we’ll take well get your feet up relaxed you’ve earned it congratulations on P2 thank you very much cheers thank you n and let’s see if we can have a chat to one more driver in Matthew Evans he’s over here in the uh daylow and matte black Livery uh Matty you’re P3 on the

awful I mean I was almost Plum last I think almost stalled it man to catch it for the Rev died and then it was graft from there really so I mean these guys are having a good battle my cutely made it hard work to get past him so I enjoyed it really enjoyed it so to finish second on the track I kind had a penalty but to finish second from where I started I’m really pleased with that so yeah good enjoyed it great stuff congratulations on the P3 Matthew and uh enjoy the rest of your day thank you cheers thank you very much that’s Matthew Evans there so up next now it’s the mg Trophy and box your jack components Jag youa championship [Music] our final returning grid of the day our penultimate race of today is the mg Trophy and barire Ja components Jaguar Championship they’re already on the field so let’s get through this grid once more number 56 Andrew Harper takes the pole position alongside number seven Tom lenthor 67 Colin Philpot is alongside James Ram these two Jaguar veterans crossing swords once again for row two Row three Michael cabor in the 24 car alongside Chris Boon 139 in row four is number 17 Yan Spooner alongside 15 sorry 58 Michael ainson on row five is Andrew mayard with the 163 car alongside David ringham in number 45 row six is Mark Bennett in the number 82 car alongside Colin Porter the number three in the 7 is number 34 Charles Jackson alongside uh sorry 56 James wall the final Jaguar is number 14 Jack Robinson only a few uh MGS to speak of but wow did they put on a show last time very much looking forward to the same for this time around number one Tyler Ballard is uh on poll position for the MGs they will start a few ROP behind the Jaguars as they did last time the brightly colored number 31 Fergus Campbell joins him on the front row there 248 Jack Woodcock is joined by number 88 James Cole and number 39 James Blake is joined by number 20 Matthew Harvey at the back of the mg field so I think in that first race Chris it was the the speed of the MGs where they carved their way through the field that was hugely impressive wasn’t it it was the it was the lack of difference as well between the MGs and the top of the jagu was let alone the back of them is absolutely phenomenal lot of bang for your buck in that mg ZR clearly and just shown there only six of them and the the higher powered class not represented at all no a bit unfortunate there but that is the nature of the Beast as the brightly colored Ram BMW pulls in as our big cats then work their way through some people giving his a big squirt some more exuberant than others through the chicane then comes our field of big caps very shortly followed by the MGs we got kind of motal big cap we’ve got kind of silk cut we’ve got another type of era of silk C out there flavor of Castro down there and uh yeah what a what a mix and then of the MGs the number one car last year’s Champion is Tyler balard in the blue car 31 is the Deo car of Fergus Campbell we’ve got uh 248 is the white car that is next up Jack Jack Woodcock Jack Woodcock yeah then we’ve got Graham Cole haven’t we James Cole James Cole in the 88 uh and then we’ve got the two CS which are pretty similarly livered at the back they are somewhat which is fine at distance so 39 James Blake is starting alongside number 20 Matthew Harvey cars lined up in position get the green going for the penultimate race of today there he goes green flag doth wave the impatient wait for the lights to come on Harper and lenol on the front row Harper and the silk cut car supercharged car on the inside lenal on the outside and Philpot trying to come between and made a good initial guess away then when he came to snatching second it wasn’t quite so good oh three there a big came to uh as Seaborn and uh uh I’m trying to think which one that was the gray car on the outside uh chopped past one of their Rivals ainson 5S yeah Harper’s only third into the complex there go the MGs Fergus Campbell gets the jump on Tyler Ballard initially James Cole is fourth it was mainly a taale of of uh I say mainly a tail of the top two but then he became the top four the top two top four and then all of them at one point so it he was a real real scrap between the MGs with the Jaguars still still trying to sort out that’s 24 Michael Seaborn one of them like it was losing some fuel through there the purple car that’s Michael seaborn’s car it’s uh his brightly color the MGs all in formation at the moment it’s Campbell from Ballard the current at the current moment but they’ll get into their stride they gave us a lot of fighting last time and I have no doubt they did the same again well that’s RAM and Philpot up the hill Philpot breaks later than Ram but up front it is Tom lenal isn’t it who leads in the number seven car and uh he’s working really hard har is down to four Chris Boon in the cats supercharge that’s creates next up through they keep streaming and now the NGS entering the chicane T bad really had to get out of that Fus didn’t have a too good entry there and that’s bunched up five of the six MGS the number 39 car that’s Blake has fallen a little bit off the back of his fellow NG Runners but that come absolutely flying through allad once again oh that’s C going for an inside line there you can hear the superchargers of the Jaguars their next Target a little bit further down the road they’re staying really bunched up coming through the complex no harm no foul they all surviv to lap another lap yeah and still Fergus Campbell uh out front of the MGs in the deow car Tyler Ballard content at this point in the race to track him that looks like now we’ve got uh James Cole in third here is a battle for position that’s battle for the lead and it was Philpot has taken the lead but Len’s coming back and on the inside is he going to outbreak Philpot well they’re side by side they won’t surely fit through Philpot straight lines it he felt he had to uh there was no way certainly off the curbs and uh he keeps the advantage uh on track lenthor now in behind him but lenol threaded the needle and uh looked as though philpop decided this got to quite happen may earn the eye of the stewards but either way philpop remaining in the lead length or oh my goodness me side by sides with the MGs as well well there’s a bit more room for them to go side by side because there’s a lot less Carol six one has nearly caught them they have indeed so the they’re all together once again now Ballard leads the way no he doesn’t make your pardon that’s uh the bal’s actually down to fourth in the MGs so a bit more fighting do there the top two Jaguars still having an argument so Philpot still ahead of lenthor wall is not sorry Ram is not far behind them so three of the xjs is still squabbling now it’s Campbell from Cole from Ballard your top three MGS Tyler Ballard trying to get the momentum on James Cole can’t do it though has to slot him behind oh was that a bit too deep there for Philpot not quite the power Jaguar still remaining in the lead now this was where that lenthor was able to get the momentum he’s forc to the outside line this time it looks like he’s going to slot in behind but that’s allowing James Ram to close in little by little behind them that’s a little bit uncomfortable for philpop there but no room for lenol to get his horses galloping at all yeah LOL has a look up the inside into valard and had a probe but had to back off out of it uh but it was uh it was a valid effort fastest lap then from James Ram it’s he’s the one F following on although TL screen actually showing is Colin field with the fastest lap not on that occasion oh that’s trouble that’s trouble for Cole he’s gotten the uh he’s got the chicane quite wrong he’s now behind Fergus alongside Taylor Ballard so out breaking himself into the chicane was the 88 is conceded second in the mmgs they are catching the back of the Jaguars now so they’re now going to have to bear that in mind when they’re trying to do their side by sides there’s Fergus Campbell next coule of jaguars who are still squabbling for wooden spoon avoidance in the Jaguars and you can smell the aroma of of oil and tires can’t you OD pelli perhaps yeah maybe oh I have done that probably here they come then 1 2 3 4 five is indeed the entire pack of MGs swarming to make the Jaguars life a little bit more complicated here we go again it’s the tail of lenthal and Phil Parts getting big cars stopped from that kind of speed up woodam hill is not he great flame out from the leader uh through the chicane Callin Philpot of unspent fuel in the end of the exhaust that just ignites and that was super super spectacular putting on a show James R not quite close enough to appreciate it har has dropped back into a kind of No Man’s Land as is Boon and here comes the uh here comes the DLo car I was going to miss that in the mirrors no he doesn’t need his lights on really to make himself any more obvious as now coming it’s all going to get kind of concertina isn’t it um and the last of the uh the MGs got sort of hung out to dry there that was the number 39 car James Blake having said that he’s holding on on the inside through Allard and Mak yet be able to get back with them as they work their way through first of the Jags it is Charles Jackson that is the ter into the Jaguars and MGS are now navigating as they are now catching up to Andrew mayard in the castal flavored Jaguar who’s gone a little bit deep probably feeling the need to perhaps do a bit of avoidance there by the way the race continues there as the next one of our Tober chard X K8 [Music] defending off the advanage of you and Spooner that’s Jack Jack Robertson no that’s that’s the 58 car that’s Michael ainson that uh is trying to hang on to his position numerous battles going on through the field a fast approaching halfway in this race still lenthal on the tail of Phil pot they are continuing to build that Gap actually to James Rand that’s now up to 3.1 seconds back to the third place Jaguar yeah Harper is next through in the supercharged S Type R and then boon with the supercharged Kats Cole getting a Cole getting uncomfortable again coming into the breaking zone for the chain but he’s gotten past Ballard for second in the emgs it’s down to to four in the mg pack in terms of the lead battle two black ones have been shaken off it’s uh Jack Woodcock trying to make a move or at least trying to get alongside Tyler Ballard not able to do it it’s during the laferry that they all got separated PRI of that number six there must be an anecdote for Ballard and Allard but I’m sure we’ll find it at some point still I won’t say comfortably in the lead but certainly leading the way here’s once again Fergus Campbell even though there’s less of them they are still putting up one hell of a show oh that’s LOL off on lenol and the number seven car has gone off backwards in at the chicane huge amount of smoke I think it’s Ty smoke that’s there’s the number seven that’s come to rest he’s going again yeah he was going again but uh is there any bingling down the side um doesn’t look it looks like he’s got away with that well it depends what went wrong whether it was drive or error he’s carrying on though yeah side of it still straight so um lucky boy well very lucky boy it was a huge huge lock up his tires will feel horrible as Michael Seaborn now kicks over with a debris um oh that that cat sick uh zor was not able to defend against Seaborn whatsoever as the MGs are almost being rejoined by Harvey and also the two two black MGS behind there goes Ballard on the inside of Cole once again for second in class coming through Allard and did he complet the move they gone out on my S I can’t quite tell but Campbell still leading the way C Campbell’s probably quite happy that his fellow mg Brethren are arguing oh wow got very close to the back of the next jaguar in line side by side there between uh Woodcock and Cole but the an James Gold just manag to hang on to third place Top mg now into the um into the top 10 because uh Campbell has gone past ringham David ringham then the uh pretty much the odd one out in this picture Jaguar somewhat staying out of the way realizing that this isn’t his fight not worth him trying to get involved in it but that is that’s allowing the entire all six MGS to Bunch up again yeah it looks like it as they come down towards church and there is Fergus Campbell Ballard and Cole Woodcock in behind and the other two uh managed to get past Harvey and Blake managed to get past ringham on the way to church Corner side by side Ballard having to defend again from Cole they’re still not losing a lot of time from Campbell in comes lenthal Tom lenthor has decided to bring in the number seven Jaguar it’s was wasn’t just a uh it would seem that either something did snap on the way in or something was broken as a result of his impact with the wall coming into the chicane and the four MGS up towards Campbell cob and Seagrave are all together here they are diving down the inside of another of the big Jag copes absolutely Campbell runs really deep has to heave it back to the right then to the left to go through cob Corner goodness I know there’s small cars but even still there is still only a limited amount of space out there this is where he’s he’s open to attack because uh the tow now will be really strong as they go down through Village Church out at the back of the circuit oh that’s bad again having a look he managed to shake off the immediate advance of Cole as uh coming through once again I don’t think inter church is going to work very well but uh on the exit up the hill those four and the cumulative toe in the third and fourth will be huge and the fifth car is not far away as well here comes Tyler ballad then he’s stuck into the slipstream of Fergus Campbell he’s tucked onto the back bumper Woodcock coming up the outside of Cole he’s gone round one but has to back off out of it remains fourth uh of the MGs the white car yeah Woodcock locked up a little bit going into and there’s five now um in that lead group six is closing in again so he’s not too far away so once again the NGS all bundling up there’s only s minutes left of the race so they’re going to have to figure this out as they are catching the back of that is the 17 Jaguar that is you and Spoon are in the xjs so again the big cat’s not obliged to get out of the way but Campbell does not want to cost himself oh no that was impact between Bard and Spooner but that’s side by side for Cole and woodcot and making it three wide the Jaguar didn’t fancy that and got out of that stale side by side between Woodcock and Cole between the MGs they’re stale going to be side by side but this time it is Woodcock is J W has got up into third in the MGs trying to shake off Cole but Cole is having none it here they come once again yeah Woodcock rounded Cole so see if Cole can retaliate as he come up the hill as Ballard again sizes up Fergus Campbell there’s nobody ahead of them that’s all have the exit speed from the chicane that’s what they want and Woodcock holds on to third Co is fourth fifth is Harvey uh then there’s the displaced xjs before we get to James Blake all that’s gone a bit wrong for the number 45 jaguar in bit too deep that’s David ringham too deep there but the MGs starting to fragment a tiny tiny bit but not entirely for Fergus Campbell well not at all indeed for Fergus Campbell as we can see here four of them it is still five as they were going up towards the the complex they were fragmented into Seventh Place Chris that’s impressive I mean we have lost I no we’ve only lost actually one of our big counts that’s Tom L so that is very very impressive face and he’s dragging almost the entire mg field with him Campbell Ballard Woodcock you top three here then Cole one of the two mg’s behind just Harvey I believe still the daylow orange car it’s interesting among the MGs because Campbell’s best is are 30 131122 three of them are in the 30s uh Ballard 13796 uh Harvey 13.97 3 but quicker uh than Harvey Blake can he make it stick what a move from Woodcock there to get around Tyler balard the number one mg slightly displaced there that’s giving an opportunity to Cole to go around the outside of Allard can he get it done I think he can the green mg up then displacing the champion down into fourth wow Woodcock is now suddenly challenged he’s been around fourth or so and certainly in the tail half of this mgq and now suddenly he’s occupying the mirrors of Fergus Campbell for the lead yeah that’s right best laps 31 31 for the leaders 30 31 30 and 30 for the Chasers so it’s very very even something to be said for consistency even even those out the back uh are lapping quicker than the the last two are lapping quicker than the leaders in that group alive so here they go once again Fergus Campbell still holding on to the lead this time under considerably more pressure as they’re catching the back of Michael cbor in the purple 24 xas because each car they catch will take more work to get past the pack still heavily condensed just over three minutes remaining supercharged cars together there um Harper and Boon in uh third and fourth places very close together indeed so Philpot and RAM are kind of off into the distance But Here Comes Woodcock then now he made the outside move work last time can’t get it done this time he’s running out of opportunities to really try and stick in the move and immediately Campbell goes to that defensive line he’s really feeling the pressure nearly side by side as they come over the line wott tries to cut to the inside of Allard but again the door is slammed in his face still as they were from lamp Brier you hear the screaming supercharges as the MGs continue to can keep the lap count [Music] going Campbell’s done so well to resist so far but there’s just two minutes to go in this race uh can Woodcock pull something off in the dying Embers of this second uh mg and jaguar race uh Cole is waiting to pick up the pieces in third as he hooks over the curb looking to the lead of the Jaguars that doesn’t look like 3 seconds to me let have a look as they come over the line 33 for Philpot the 31 for R 2.6 that’s going to be two laps left that might be close for the top spots of this race but we’ll see there the uh now the top four p is up into third place so he’s displaced Andrew Harper then with the6 the the superchar uh S type and here come the ogs and then not that far behind Michael Seaborn he’s having a a bit of a squabble with the uh with the 82 is that is a Bennett Bennett and Seaborn together they’re slowing each other down and uh Fergus Campbell would like to be between them or preferably ahead of them by the time he gets to sh to the complex he’s still going to be behind them as the big cats get Galloping up towards the complex once again there we go so that is that’s C that was superb has he gone in too deep but he’s managed to look at that he’s managed to put all the others between the two the two Jags between him and all the others so that was a really opportunist move what a fabulous move from Fergus Campbell uh on lap 13 somewhat do or die but my goodness me he made it work yeah fortunately it was um the former yes that that could have been but the rest of them all thinking how the hell did you how did he pull that one off and why weren’t we close enough to do it too checker flag has come out slightly earlier within a few seconds of uh the full time being called so Colin Phil taking the top spot and James Ram will be second but holds on a third from Harper but not by very much they’re absolutely together and here come the here come the MGs I think with that incredible move that’s going to be vict ictory for Fergus Campbell oh it’s a big Locker for seor very very big lock up but he does manage to recover just ahead of the swallows number three that’s Porter so second in the MGs is Woodcock in the end and then Cole comes on third balard in fourth with uh it’s Blake that came home last of the m in the end but my goodness me once again the NG’s giving an absolute squabble and Bennetts at the end there got sort of absolutely monstered by all the MGs and dropped back didn’t he on that last lap into Ninth Place but of the uh uh of the MGs Campbell speci was a 1311 woodcocks a 1311 Kohl’s a 13.9 uh then we go to Ballard 130.7 Harvey 139 and Blake 13.8 so six of them of a second few T of a second yeah absolutely brilliant but that move by Fergus Campbell into the complex on the last into the corner bearing his name yes it should be said uh would make him I think driver of the day from the point of view of theg without question that was unbelievable he didn’t didn’t finish the first one did he but my goodness he pulled that back together that was a sensation run provisional results then for our penultimate race of the day Colin filp taking top on as James Ram comes home in second with Chris Boon in third place Andrew Harper in fourth vergus Campbell up into fifth overall the lead mg M Seaborn six Jack wood seven James call eight Mark Bennett nine with Tyler Ballard rounding out the top 10 Matt Harvey 11 James Blake rounding out the mg contingent in 12th Yan Spooner in 13th with Michael aers in 14th position in his XK8 David ringham in 15th with Charles Jackson in 16th position with Andrew mayard in 17th Colin Porter number three in 18th we lost Tom lle in the course of the race my word there’s going to be some very smiling faces down there so I suspect that Kier mcin is going to be speaking to some quite happy people or probably quite relieved in some ways because for some people that race was very very intense we just waiting for the lead three to come to position two of the big cats have arrived and now the MGs are coming into position so hopefully Fergus Campbell will be pulled aside be very interesting to see what he has to say because go Ruth he had so much pressure from pretty much every mg in the entire field yep he is pulling over so our interviewees are ready let’s head down to Kier McGinley so the Jaguars and MGS have made their way back into the pit Lane we have the Winner’s car here in Colin Philpot although Colin himself is just congratulating uh James Ram behind him in fact let’s get the two of them try and jump in there with a microphone Colin two out of two well you happy with that very pleased very pleased yeah also I’m really pleased to see James out there me old sparring partner really we’ve had some good battles before it’s nice to see him up there good battle with Tom earlier on he lost it coming into the chicane out the back but yeah I finally enjoyed it yeah I was last few laps so about five laps from the end my gearbox was really chattering I had to sort of back off a bit but then when I see James again I’ve got to keep this going so it’s Do or Die really and it and it finish you did yeah brilliant it finished that was good oh great stuff I mean two out of two for you that that pretty much is a is a cherry on top of a great day yeah it is yeah yeah I really really love today I I love this track we don’t get to do it a lot there something about it I know it’s very fast um but you don’t get enough time to sort really practice it you know you get it right you at the sweet spots and it was great I really enjoyed it it’s been a lovely day thank you brilliant s Colin congratulations well done on your win today just say thanks to all the marshals as well out there you know they’ve done a good job and G A good good wave at the end there I think they pleas the xjs have been up the front so thank you great stuff thank you Colin winner of our box Jag component Jaguar Championship let’s have a chat to James Ram James you’re back up here again well done you how are you feeling well it’s unusual to be up here I have to say um yeah I think we had some teing problems with a car at the start of the year um just a bit of bad luck really um the the gearbox was an issue and then we thought we resolved it it was still an issue guy con Spirit of Jaguar racing gave me one of his old gear boxes it is fitted here today um did have a rust issue um not with a car with the driver but it was starting to come back in that race and um really enjoyed it I you know it was nice to sort of have a reference point with Colin but he was uh yeah it was too quick for me today at uh you never know I’m sure we’ll get a bit faster well that Russ seemed to well and truly come off James that was that was a point had a wire brush in the car just gave it just gave myself a bit of a dust off but no the car has been fabulous it’s a new engine for me I’ve never had a V12 before it’s quite different but yeah really exciting to drive uh yeah she really means it great stff I’ll let you celebrate with Colin old sparring partner he said yeah absolutely yeah yeah we’ve had a fair few ding-dongs in the past and and remain close friends so that’s fantastic great stuff thank you very much James congratulations say one more thing actually a big shout out to the fellas at Power Bell um Andrew who works with Colin Colin’s partner made a load of suggestions on the setup of the car and it was much better in race two so big big shout out to power Bell Brant stuff thank you James and congratulations on second place we’ll quickly have a chat to Chris Boon who finished third place in the Jaguar Championship uh Chris congratulations third place how you feeling all right yeah I didn’t expect to get first in class though managed to get past Andrew ala that that was a bit of a fight though but nearly outbreak myself into the chicane I’m going oh a little bit easier next time just managed to get down the inside of him and that was it and of course I defend him off for the last two laps of the race and that was hard work as well well it’s worth it well worth it great stuff well unfortunately I’m going to have to wrap it up there but congratulations on third place overall thank you very much cheers thank you very much and uh that’s for was Chris Boon next up is our final race of the day it’s the gold Arts magnificent [Music] sevens unfortunately I was not able to negotiate another nine races for today much as I tried I need to uh I need to enlist the services of K need to Nick the the Checker flank so the race never ends however it is the final race of the day it is the gold ass magnificent sevens all cars based on the original Colin Chapman Lotus 7 design so look at the grid then for the final race of the day number 91 Steven Collins is joined by number 27 Luke zuru number 62 is darrl mccac on RAD two alongside number 77 Simon Lancer Row three is number 141 Oliver gel alongside 117 Kevin Barrett rad four is 134 Richard green alongside number 64 josephi fet on row five is 189 Bruce Wilson alongside number 21 Malcolm Ash row six number seven is Martin Dolan at14 Alex Harbor row eight is 188 Robert forsik alongside 75 which is spicon uh Spicer and Randall row eight is number 50 Chris biglin alongside the 70 of Trevor Harbor row N is 1 191 Darren Granger alongside 16 Martin lebeer and at the back of the field is 199 Nigel lell well then what a racing day we have had multiple grids such multiple class uh classes within classes of course as is the way here at Classic sports car club but this is a bit more of a traditional uh classic sports car club category the max EV have been with the CCC for quite a number of years there they all are it’s uh real scrap between these cars some old names ready to do battle once more it’ll be a standing start for these amazing amazing Vehicles a lot of them are looked after by the boss Racing Stable as they working their way through Chan once again now the class structure for this C C is dealt with by power to weight ratio so the smallest category category a is up to 135 horsepower per ton and up to the big boys class H which is over 300 brake horsepower per ton as long as along with class J which is for bike engine entrance well this is going to be interesting it’s not always just the same class that battle with one another sometimes you will get yeah a mixture of different categories all doing for the same bit of real estate Marcus what a way to see off the racing here in thron yeah is they’re always very very close right here a lot of slip streaming going on in all the classes and you often see some giant killing as well uh as the more consistent guys in the Lesser powered cars are able to jump between toes and uh uh make their presence felt on a crd it’s see Not Unusual to see a boss car at the front of the grid but there it is and they’re on track for 40 minutes indeed it is our last race of the day it is a pin stop race for this one so there’s only one shared drive in this one that’s the Spicer and Randall car the big anniversary for the sevens last year wasn’t it and they went eventually I think about 26 or seven of them went and raced at um Bushy Park in uh in Barbados oh they freighted the out on a Banana Boat uh they don’t bring money bananas back from Europe to the Caribbean so disappointed that’s why they went back to Bushy Park the home they don’t weigh an awful lot so maybe rowing boats was needed now the starts been delayed for some reason I’m not sure why is someone not in position I wonder we just saw the start delayed board out so probably the orange Army that are out there always very thankful for their efforts we really couldn’t do what we do most of all without them it looks like someone has misjudged their grid spot so kind of Row three or four something like that I can’t tell I think that’s Richard green but I’m not 100% on that inside of row four is being moved back I think it is Richard green so the 134 is being pushed backwards there you go the black car with the white top and the green stripes down the oh so you can see what he’s done it’s okay Richard no one’s looking oh he’s not the only one either so someone else being pushed backwards and someone else is having to reverse it gets a bit cumulative doesn’t it when uh when one’s yeah when one’s out it knocks everybody else out of out of kilta so yeah we will good try but um didn’t quite work moving up a couple of grid RS here we go that’s Bruce wils isn’t it yeah it’s prying Road registered car that one is a couple of them are I see I there are there’s nothing actually stopping people driving their race car to the Circuit I think they’re Bonkers if they do but I’ve seen people do it one two three Road registered cars I can see and they’re four and then novice crosses you can see three that one’s that one one two three is that not a number no that’s that’s that’s that’s nigell on the back that’s well he could try drive it I don’t think a police would be too happy with him and most of them cats there’s one Pro Comp La gold Martin Le was made in the Midlands was gram ner from Kum cars who picked up the uh the batt on from from Lotus and uh they’re they’re fantastic they’re so so quick green flag do wave so then for the final time in the Hampshire Home of horsepower here in thron the sun has graced us all day we did have a tiny threat of rain just before the racing began but that well it did fall ter very very slightly but of no particular consequence and still green flag was waved but still no sign of the lights it’s all very quiet isn’t it 40-minute race it’s now 17 30 okay so the one minute board has gone out so be a short minute I suspect I would think that a virtual minute going to say we go 30 seconds it’s like you’ve done this before Marcus yeah green flag green flag lap then so I think because it because um one two of them think it’s the start well I I think they you’re not supposed to overtake and there one of two are actually at racing speed I I Venture oh dear that’ll be somewhat awkward for them these two are um have they realized they’re away with the fairies well we we had a very unusual start to the day now we’re having a very unusual end to the day yeah this is somewhat bizarre isn’t it so oh there we go so they have that’s the pole man that’s the pole man there so yeah they have clock that hang on a minute something’s not quite right here so they have realized that it is another green flag lamp not a not the racing [Music] start so hopefully we will well the do one or two things things oh here here are the two who think they’re racing oh yes they’ got a great lead haven’t they Co considering it was a green flag lap what’s going on see well they’re waving green flags on the side so yeah that’s Simon Lancashire in the 77 and our Italian friend well he’s realized he has realized he’s not he’s been here before so well that’s well now he’s gotten going again now the red okay now the red lights are come on so they are going to Red Flag this one so yeah we had a somewhat disrupted start and a somewhat disrupted end to today well it’s memorable Marcus yeah 77 Simon Lancashire the one ball he must be thinking he’s one ball racing team and um he must have thought he had the start of the Gods jeppe f is from the Italian French Swiss border and and has uh has raced here before they’ve done their own thing so to speak enjoy your time up front jent but sadly it will come to an end rather abruptly I think the moment of Glory was somewhat brief yes bit of a shame but hey ho we will get this grid reformed I mean everybody makes mistakes I mean the grid order was UN just one person being out of out of kilter and then you line up in relation to the person ahead of you so and and i’ got to do it all again and assume that everyone knows where they’re going I’m imag I’m imagining the the the two um reappear they’re like the pce makers aren’t they in a running race they’re only there to make the pace and then after a while they drop out you know just well there’s Simon Lancer yeah why he would have seen the red board so he’s not absolutely flying which is absolutely correct yeah so now they are re forming the grid we’ll we’ll pretend that didn’t happen surely he won’t be allowed to come through the grid and um well if they’re reforming the grid they would allow them to reform well that’s what happened in the first race wasn’t it because that was there were two separate grids granted and the first grid the second grid didn’t go anywhere that was still stationary well yeah they weren’t told to were they no they weren’t flagged away well we’ve got one of the two and the second one is there as well now coming up through I thought the 16 wasn’t able to move then the Pro Comp but he does get to move well this is going to be interesting what does Simon Lancer and what do they think they’re going to do well they’ll obviously wait for instruction from the Marshal and if they get pointed to the pit Lane unfortunately it is somewhat of their own doing but there comes Simon laner I no he’s unless they’re going to let him form at the back no he decides he’d like to have his original Place back if you can squeeze through there where was he he was uh Simon Lancer was in fourth fourth any wonder he wants his original gri spot back another green flag so just being informed they will have another green flag that there is jeppy f f there he goes so he’s been allowed to resume his original grid spot as if he’s eigh I think isn’t he uh he is indeed yes I think what I think he saw a big hole appear in his vision up thought I’ll go for I’ll have this well it’s rac’s Instinct isn’t it you you don’t go for a spot that isn’t in front of you you’re not a racing driver as the old statement goes so another green flag lap and uh still 40 minutes and uh so welcome to the Magnificent Serv ladies and gentlemen s Lang got going pretty quickly again magnificent sens at the OK Corral oh it’s one of these things isn’t it you’ve been waiting all day to get race in and it’s hot it can be when you do something that is out of sequence that you’re having to not necessarily make up on the spot but you these guys know how good procedures were they’ve all raced numerous times before but when you do something that that rocks that boat that rocks that regularity sometimes the brain just doesn’t know what to do especially when you’re tired when you’re hot but green flag map is underway so this allows the everything to get back up into the right temperatures I hope they’re not um very very tightly fueled that would be Tad awkward yes a lot of lifting and coasting going on course no refueling mid race oh no where’s he gone there’s laner gone unless he’s the one with the yellow lights I can’t quite tell the color of the car all bright yellow isn’t he he’s in oh there he oh no he’s done it again he’s done it again he’s run off ahead of the pack and there’s someone else there as well that’s just saie Fila again they’ve both done exactly the same thing again how very bizarre I I think you go to the pits chaps I think you might need to be I think you might be called up in uh I think you might yes Headmaster might want to have a word with you on this occasion oh dear and the rest of them are at church indeed all behaving themselves stopped it’s quite even song yet do do it on Saturday sometimes they well there was a nice green van behind us maybe maybe we should send that down there just to uh just to call him down a little bit this is they’ve both reformed the the grid again I I’m I’m trying to find it defensible answer agents but our cameraman to our right is incredulous at the whole thing which is brilliant well no we’ve not seen it before no no not twice anyway I mean jefa I think is is new to the he’s new to the club so I raced at Thon before he told me this morning so but possibly not with CC so maybe not a little bit of of leeway there but Simon laner kind sir you’ve done this quite a few times they’ll run out time soon well there there is a cew isn’t [Applause] there well they might shorten the absolutely so I mean but there is a hard curfew of 6 p.m. is it 6:30 6:30 and they have U well we’ve got 41 minutes and a little bit to go for the 40 minute race again yeah I I I mean no disrespect but when you make the same mistake twice back to back it becomes a little bit indefensible I’m afraid it might get sent to the back of the class at very Le get the B dunce hat and put them on so oh there’s some discussions going on now please please it’s a green flag now yeah last time I feel horrid laughing I really do but it’s what else do you do well ladies andent flag another green flag well welcome to the Magnificent s again oh if if if Simon or JPI listen back to this we mean no disrespect honestly but you kind of brought this on yourself Race distance race time has been shortened to half an hour to half an hour which is somewhat what I thought they would do so we will finish it broadly at the same time if say wait for it oh no not again someone’s run off no just SEI filet is there there it’s it’s Simon Lancer again I can’t believe this Simon Lage has done it again that is the number 77 well it’s consistent well [Music] granted well I I I have no words I I which is not common for a commentator Grant you surely he would know that the race would start under the lights not under the flag I mean you know if if it been a a Union Flag they’ve been told it’s going to be a Union Flag CH which which only really happens on split grid from or or when the when lights fail yeah uh but um you don’t just go at the green this a bit like sandart isn’t it you soon as you see something that goes green wh you’ve gone he still going the the the Reds haven’t come out yet this this is when this is when we realize we’re the ones in the wrong and the race has started Simon Lan has having a great day sure no he well he has realized now I don’t think he can see us we’re gesticulating toward the pit Lane I’m sorry Simon you’re bringing this on yourself my friend as Admiral as your cause is this is not how magnificent sevens is supposed to work I hope he’s not trying to do the seven times it’s magnificent three so far he’s reformed on the critic no oh I am giggling I’m done founded I I’ve never ever in all the racers I’ve watched and and the commentated on I’ve never seen the grid well I’ve been coming here since since October the 28 I think it was 1973 and and if you haven’t seen it before seen before oh goodness me ladies and gentlemen of the stream and of the circuit I apologize on behalf of the organization this is somewhat unprecedented I’ve I’ve seen people pass black flags numerous times and then I’ve seen that and meatballs they go meatballs not commonly are we actually going to go straight for a standing start right yes yes we are right lights are on and away we go we are racing here in thron in the most bizarre fashion and at least Simon L has got the right idea this time he’s actually challenging for second oh I suspect he may well be pulled up in front of the clock the course he’s he has actually got up into second and I’m go at Steven Collins in the 91 boss machine oh this is going to take a while for me to start giggling I do apologize right we have a race to talk about 30 minutes of magnificent sevens racing and Simon Lancer just by the what well his tires must be absolutely roasting by now he’s in uh more faster laps than anybody else so it cins from Lancer your top two then an argument between zuru and I think that’s Daren McCormack for third yeah Luke zuru is pretty rapid and these think he’s moved up into a quicker car this time but uh he’s uh certainly a front runner but it’s the white boss car that leads the way there’s fell see with the car with the red white and blue colors on it superb Livery on that yeah although he is Italian see didn’t the other way and here they come then up the hill and uh it is our leader Steven Collins in in qualifying Steven Collins indeed that’s Richard green on the inside line of the 27 machine that’s Luke zuru so he’s lost a position to the 134 car of Richard green usually races with some Pascal as well but uh just the one green occupying the car so Collins laner McCormack the top three yeah McCormack third Wilson fourth uh he’s don’t come up well green is fifth uh zuru is Sixth and then it’s Barrett fella Ash and forsik the of Leal from the back of the field has gotone ahead of Darren Granger so are 17 competitors all running we originally had 19 uh take to qualifying we did originally have 19 but a couple Fallen by the wayside bearing in mind that quite a number of The Magnificent 7 cars have already raced uh in the open series earlier on we see the number 62 the star mcac exploring all of the track to try and get some momentum on Simon Lanette yeah he’s making ground that’s on this lap by the looks of things there is our leader Steven Collins laner now has mccormac all over him does mmack going to pop out of the slipstream coming up woodam hill for the second time let’s have a look not quite close enough Bruce Wilson’s right there though in the blue car yes yeah Bruce Wilson in The 189 car that’s one of our class F so that’s between 231 and 260 horsepower per ton he’s really hustling the next two so laner mcac going to have to really think about it the 62 car the that’s one of our class D cars that’s k for Kum 300 or 420 RS7 Championship spec cars with the uh Toyo r888r tire so these are uh you Krum 7 Championship spec cars of which I think only is McCormack and green in that particular class so they are really hustling for those top positions Collins not broken away too far in the boss boss racing in blazing car it’s uh still running away as best he can 1.4 seconds on the last G over the line Lancer still keeping di with Comack at Bay oh look at the tail there when you’re turning left into right hander you’re either having a good time or it’s about to go horribly horribly wrong a lot of opposite lck to catch the tail there in third place did Darren McCormack but he’s not quite as close as laner in fact laner is closer now to Steven Collins um than McCormack is to him and McCormack has Bruce Wilson all over his back coming up into the chicane have we lost we’ve lost oh a little bit out of shape for the leader hopping over the curb in third place was uh mccormac I wonder if we lost uh lead beer for a moment but uh Simon Lang here with the fastest lap of the race he was definitely closer that time around actually no fastest lap I think is just by 2000s of a second G toce Wilson so this top group really heavily condensed not all of them in the same class either so well three of them are it’s Darren McCormack that’s the odd one out essentially yeah Richard green is his rival down in sixth place in car 134 for 62 mccor that’s his principal opposition and now Simon Lancashire um is oh having a look on the inside line of Collins yeah he does no momentum though for the 77 or more momentum I should say with the number 91 Steven Collins was able to keep that a b Simon Lancer doing what he can to usur the boss racing prepared number 91 yeah they’re both boss cars I think aren’t they I think there’s boss on the back of the yellow car of laner I think you might be right on that one yeah they don’t always have the white and orange some of them are black and orange some of them are yeah whatever they colors will St the inside now into the chicane and very wide uh has gone Dar mccormac he keeps it on the island just by C here clambering over the but he drops back into fourth yeah they are both indeed boss racing cars as in blazing on the back of them Collins and laner broken away now from Wilson he’s just claimed that third position already seeing to getting involved in that top battle very nice indeed all three of them in the F category as mentioned between 231 260 break uh per ton I mean I take it I I reckon if you put a bottle of water in this thing you would add a significant percentage to an already very light car they are so so light I’d love to give one a try but I highly doubt i’ fit in it Collins blank Wilson I’m sure if you turn up at the factory with sufficient spondulix build one around you yeah well then I’d never get out of the thing maybe have to wait at the factory for a week while they do it tailor it tailor made car it’s an unusual item to put on your shopping list but either way the rest of the field spread out a little bit only one shared drive in this uh particular category that’s from newcomers this year that’s Spicer and Randall Steven Spicer is the one in the car at the moment James Randle will be taking it over is a joint Owned Car between the pair of them new faster slap to St Collins 123 924 the lead up you see Kevin Barrett the 117 car just coming through a bit of a gap then to jepi now finds himself very much on his own and Malcolm Ash in the 21 shortly afterwards Robert forsik would be the next one in sequence so once they are of a similar design obviously the the physical shape is broadly the same the init are very very different the engine the suspension the gearbox all very different that puts them in their respective classes there’s Chris biglin in the number 50 car common he shares with Alex Harbor I think Alex was due to race his own car in this race but uh his sorry Trevor haror excuse me that was actually USU race Alex haror um has shared often with Chris biglin and vice versa in the pump Express katrum Super Sport now the top three beginning to spread out a little bit Steven Collins was 1.1 last time of course the um the pit stop window Factor might be altered fra because of the reduction in race length from 40 to 30 minutes in Tradition or traditionally 30 minute races are open after 10 minutes for 10 minutes as opposed to for 15 minutes and being that uh there’s only one Shar drive it shouldn’t shouldn’t be too much of a difference but then we shouldn’t have had three restarts at the same race but we won’t dwell on that 3.3 seconds now it’s gone out and that’s a much improved lap time 123. 690 Co behind Simon laner there’s a few cars Bruce Wilson I think might be closing in on him a bit less than a second between Lasher and Wilson laner was sorry Wilson was 410 quicker than the 77 car last time around we continue to watch the one ball racing number 77 looked very Squigly didn’t it I mean I know they’re very light there’s not a lot keeping on on the ground but it didn’t look very comfortable that section of the circuit he’s holding his own though absolutely Steven Collins remains unchallenged boss being a very very successful preparer of primarily krams we do usually have quite a boss contingent at CCC meetings well that is not a second between Wilson and Lancer there Wilson has Wilson taken too much out of his tires I wonder [Applause] also with the uh with the reduction in race length there shouldn’t be a consideration on fuel amount whoa that was a deep line there from uh from Wilson yeah Wilson’s Car where it it looks to Corner flatter than those around it 3/10 or just over 2/10 rather to the good over Lancer Steven Collins 5.3 seconds to himself up front yeah Lancashire was fully 2 seconds slower than Steven Collins so early Pace from the 77 seems to have dissipated somewhat we’ll see what Bruce Wilson’s able to do at the moment Simon lanha just keeping that Gap steady between himself and the 189 car the CSI super light in the hands of Bruce Wilson 2.3 l car a light to blaze Here Comes stepen Collins got the whole length of woodam hill now between himself and pursuer Simon Lancashire who’s very busy watching his mirrors as Bruce Wilson tucks in behind through they come I’m wondering whether Lan has got to break problem because that’s where that’s where Wilson really reeled him in and it didn’t not look comfortable coming through the chicane at all well you that was they’ve dropped they dropped Dar mccormac in fourth place in a quite a lonely situation Bruce Wilson now very much in the tire tracks of Simon Lanes coming into the complex what we trying to do is get a really good exit from the complex he can do that keep it really neat get on the power early then he can build that momentum all the way around he’s probably flat from the exit of uh the complex Flex to the breaking area for the uh chicane the corner exit speed is where the 77 seems to be able to defend itself whereas it’s under breaking where Bruce Wilson starts to reel in his PR and that is Dar mccormac in the 62 car that is well was on the last time crossing the line about 3 point uh 3.8 seconds back from the podium positions as is having a look on the inside line you can see that kind of there is a subtle he yeah he’s got a subtle kind of subtly wider car than then lanha does oh so sweeps around the outside doesn’t even wait for the breaking Zone can lanha fight back if he does have a breaking issue he’s not going to be able to achieve it around there and Bruce Wilson now up into second place does Simon like have an opportunity or have the means to fight back oh yes he does gets the inside line coming into all impact between the two St that was close and there is the Randall and Spicer that Steven Spicer that started the number 75 car newcomers to K racing newcomers to the club so they were just interesting in finishing the race they weren’t uh too worried about where when uh we spoke to them earlier on just picking up some license signatures and getting sort of some mileage under their belts well James Randall actually wanted to get the signatures done what he wants to do before his next ion I won’t give a number but he’s next significant birthday shall we say cuz he wants to do Spar and who wouldn’t who wouldn’t absolutely Luke zeru in in the number 27 car started on the front row now serving his pits up the pit Lane has been open for just about 4 minutes now and has another six minutes to run Martin Dolan there just gone out again you see the 77 car is really really Twitchy he’s got the pace to keep Bruce Wilson at Bay but it does not look comfortable to drive whatsoever Alex haror in the 114 car is just come in and Lancashire has managed to fend off Bruce Wilson round the lap oh there’s a car we’ve seen once or twice yeah should fell he’s not looking in the camera I don’t blame him BR Wilson 75 into the pits that’s the the Spicer car so Steven Spicer will be getting out of the car as a reminder he is a Ed pit off so they don’t have to rush to get a driver change done CU doing a driver change in a seven car or with the roll cage is not a work of a moment there you go so Steven Spicer is out and they will now reset the belts for James Randall to climb in so for single driver cars they don’t don’t have to kill the engine they just have to make sure they’re in the pit Lane for 90 seconds whereas if you are doing a driver change because you are disengaging the belts you must turn the engine off 1 191 Darren Greer in the a class uh katm Academy car is now coming in to serve his stop running about 15th leader back with us Steven Collins and still Wilson keeping laner at Bay oh company I should say in comes 188 Robert forsik another long time catring racer in his CSR now he’s actually in class G which is 261 to 300 breake horsepower Wilson’s Back ahead of laner and it was into Allard where Lancashire reclaimed that spot from Wilson last time and he’s tried again doing it [Applause] again oh side by side now it’s under Corner exit where lancas had the advantage he got him as well well yeah he is a driver of habit isn’t he yeah but I mean you can’t deny that it is proving pretty effective for very much so very it was forceful but it was fair it was indeed we have seen quite a few drivers in the course of the day with a fair amount of Bravery pills having been taken Barrett and green have changed places Kevin Barrett up into fourth place ahead of so that’s the 117 car the taken of uh Max in class B of Kevin Barrett ahead now of Richard green the mortim green sponsored K 420r from class D malash is next up that’s the 21 car the super sport in class B and he’s into the pits now oh the these two have found Chris biglin that is ash oh there goes uh there goes Wilson again he’s now he’s committed to that much much earlier but it’s not really giving him oh that’s not giving him any more breathing space race leader is in as well he well these two are continuing they they’ll get round to the pits again before the pit winner closes I hope they realize it’s only a 10 minute oh there goes Lancer again superb between these two constant dueling going on Lancer still hasn’t got it done just manages to cut ahead of Wilson before Campbell Wis though will be thinking do you know I can get him on the hill pretty much every time and was he does that yeah that was a bit close wasn’t it through Cobb Nigel Lidell or little beg your pardon is in along with Bin’s in as well and Richard green is in that’s almost the entire field um I it may well just be second third and fourth Wilson laner and Barrett are the three that haven’t where is 117 in each case left be has disappeared so then Lancashire and Wilson once more to head the way down back towards us coming past our position is jepi filet in the 64 car we know he served his stop anyone’s coming back out [Music] again oh they got Robert forsik now in amongst the battle for second place and Lancashire has held on to second place this time through that is first it’s the lead now because of course it’s for the time being yeah they have not pit it oh no they a biger b they will no they won’t make it R again it’s a 124 lap with only 120 left on the clock the pit Lane will likely have closed before they get back around again so the tail deepens for Simon Lasher and unfortunately Bruce Wilson I suspect what it is is because they’re used to 15minute pit windows they’ve forgotten that in a 30-minute race that is shortened to a 10-minute pit window and they’re enjoying themselves so much out there scrapping away that um which isn’t the first time we’ve seen that In fairness and it has been a fascinating battle between these two but unfortunately they are going to p face the penalty for it I believe pitting outside the pit window is a two laack penalty Draconian it is somewhat Draconian yes and um there’s the 19 199 car we can see on the picture in picture that is Niger little new to the club this year was it Donnington and now gets his uh katrum classic as it’s branded that one going 18 where’s Barrett though 15 Bar 14 yeah they aren’t going to make it unfortunately cuz that’s maram Mash right ahead of them it’s going to slow him down a little bit I mean Wilson is actually indicating I don’t know whether he realizes and they’ve gone past the B Lan again so yeah they they’re thinking it’s a 15minute pit window I would think pit window closed pit window closed CSL confirmed and they have got the pit window closed board on the start Finish Line so they would have thought they would have seen that and possibly thought oh yeah it didn’t work out did it what they actually said was probably not broadcastable but either way they’re going to continue this uh thring battle for what is currently the lead also Kevin Barrett has for exactly the same he’s made exactly the same mistake yeah he’s not stopped either he’s just coming past us now oh and he comes but he’s doing it too late oh on mon I me indeed so he’s missed the pit window by what 40 seconds uh whether you miss it by one or 40 if you’re in the pit Lane when the pit Lane closes that is absolutely fine you are allowed to be in the pit Lane when it CL closes you’re just not allowed to enter it whilst it is closed you can enter it but just pick up a well you pick up a penalty yes a massive penalty um and you and you may as well cuz if you don’t serve your bit stop at all you are excluded from the racing T so no I suspect he’s just been told and it will be the same reasoning I suspect as our lead pair come into the chicane once again Wilson Oh is he not quite claps over the Apex he had to go in comes laner and Bruce Wilson still hasn’t heeded the uh I guess he’s I guess he’s kind of figuring well going to pick up the penalty well just carry on Simon L now coming in can run to it and uh I suspect his team oh a big belouch of flame there from Lanier’s car I me it was a superb battle from Simon laner but this will unfortunately yeah one it was all in vain CU he will finish down in seventh or e oh nice little gation oh yeah yes you can’t park there sir Alex Harbor there he goes well that is at least everybody except for wheelson that’s been in the pits that was uh someone leading the pits I think I suspect that might be Barrett be Barrett yeah well there’s our race leader the be Dolan and Granger down the back of the field in 7 and 1 191 just set their best laps 133 759 136 130 respectively on lap 13 and 12 that’s our class A cars so yes yes they have so yeah they’re starting to perhaps get a bit of a feel for the cars I Nigel sorry Darren grer uh new to the club for this event and here’s Academy car in comes Bruce Wilson now bit too that you have at least come in if it was a 15minute pit wner you’d have been fine and out comes Simon Lancer another interesting discussion I dare say he would probably not have wanted this event to be streamed considering its outcome for him but that is the nature of the Beast so 91 then Steven Collins resumes the lead that car was forly gray last year but now into the traditional boss racing colors uh only raced Donnington last year so glad to see Steven joining us for bloke racing as he was formerly formerly in blazent so this will put well at the moment Simon Lan is sharing in second place it does somewhat depend on where Bruce Wilson reappears he’s still in the pits of the moment because he is still serving the 92nd mandatory pit stop there he is in the picture and picture stepen Collins is on Woodham hill Oh in comes Alex Harbor he’s already been in once and Bruce Wilson is continuing and he’s going to be overtaken before he leaves the pit Lane by Stephen Collins Lanette just coming through as she came now there is the distinctly colored Steven Collins with Wilson right right behind him now well they can have a a little bit of fun for the remaining five minutes I suppose who are we to deny them although Sten Colin did show he had somewhat of a pace advantage over the rest of the field and Carries On along his merry way now passes half of the race still belonging to the number 91 123 678 the only car to have achieved a 23 and that was on the lap he’s just completed we just saw there the 114 that was Alex harber he’s just we the steering wheelers off helmet being undone though he will play no further part in the race as we continue to see Steven Collins with a fairly comfortable and growing gap between himself and Bruce [Music] Wilson just SE for Lake coming past us now in the number 64 car he is in eighth [Music] position so Collins now officially back at the head of the lap chart in the 91 car with 4 minutes to go 4 seconds between Wilson and Collins 1.7 between laner and Wilson bearing in mind they were all over each other up until there somewhat late pit stop so can Simon laner close that Gap back down he was well we can’t judge the previous lap times because of course that was an out laap for Bruce Wilson yeah but that was a best for laner on a 124 134 which was a couple of T better than Wilson’s best lap so far well observed oh dear oh that might be why Alex Harbor has parked it uh somewhat need those those R things to be inflated oh there’s an argument that’s uh Green in the 34 car with the 117 which is Kevin Barrett so that is a scrap four six between those two both of them are in class D cars that is the k seven championships back car yep second and third in class uh mccormac leads that class but has a penalty does he now well that wasn’t a as as does Spicer and Randall I wonder what uh well there’s one of two things that could either be track limits or the pit time Pit Stop was too short yeah second and third are now half a second apart so um that’s uh building up well laner Clos that get back down pretty quickly there’ll be some discussions afterwards I’m sure Lasher is third fourth is Luke suru he’s about 9 seconds behind that he is as we continue to see green and Barrett Kevin Barrett took part the Caton graduates championship last year in ferus McCormack if he’s got a penalty if it’s only a a fairly minor uh imposition here is a long way ahead of green and Barrett oh and oh dear scrabbling all over the grass that’s Darren Green jet in the one1 car and that was ahead of the green and Barrett hle that put a little bit of distance between the P Green is 37 seconds behind mccormac so well if thats what the penalty is if that’s a pit Lane infringement it is 30 seconds plus the amount your short the short fall yeah so as long as he’s not 7c short which has happened unfortun leader is pushing on yes I mean on occasions I’ve seen people penalized to being a couple of 10 short in their I’ve seen it stop and they get sort of 30 seconds plus 24 or something sounds draing but RS are RWS Simon laner F ahead of them isn’t it oh they’re reunited so Lan gets the inside line manages it to wrong foot Wilson does he know Wilson is staying ahead or is he oh three wide going through Campbell go and SE grave that’s going to be Advantage laner is it no fet is mining his own business laner Clouts off the Apex coming through CB and now crave Wilson has the inside line no Advantage at all has been kind of boxed slightly hasn’t he but he’s got the exit speed and they both come past filet it oh that’s close it wasn’t it and again the curbs was laner he’s been clattering curbs left right and Center OH Str talk about somewhat of a dramatic finish to this race less than 30 seconds before the flag is due to fall and uh once again it’s aner in the center of the spotlight there’s a different battle going on that’s number seven there Martin Dolan but race leader is number 91 Steven Collins the the time it is going to expire before he gets there just about so your winner for the final race of the day here in thron is the number 91 of Steven Collins Bruce Wilson will cross the line this second just ahead or no sorry Simon laner crosses the line ahead of Bruce Wilson was clattered all over the curbs through here with uh I think penalties to be discussed between certain competitors that’s up to the stewards that’s not up to us Luke zeru will claim that fourth place but where will Dar mccormac for that’ll be a class win for zuru as well it will indeed as a Class D car deal b b b de is mccormac and he’s a long way ahead of green and Barrett but it remains to be seen how quickly they reappear and they’re not in sight at the moment here they come here they come up the hill it always looks more dramatic on board it does from this distance yeah so it is is indeed coming into as CH out himself Barrett’s gone through on the last chicane of the final lap just that tiny bit too late for Richard green and that is sixth position to Kevin Barrett Darren mcac remains where he is so whatever the penalty was it was not enough to cost him that spot I think everybody else is has everyone else come home oh here comes Chris biglin the number 50 car and that and then 191 which is Granger I do believe that is the last of our cars as our leaders are coming back into sight once again absolutely wow that was laced with drama wasn’t it what a crazy end to what has been a fantastic day racing yeah we’ve had a great days racing but we’ve had a bizarre start to the first race the most bizarre start I’ve ever seen to even more bizar yeah exactly extraordinary I think the word provisional has never applied anymore to any other sets of results exactly so so I run through them when they come up Steven Collins the winner there in 91 77 Simon Lancashire on the road second Bruce Wilson 189 on the road third 27 Luke zuru class winning fourth 5ifth 62 Darren MCAT wins his class sixth is 117 Kevin Barrett seventh is 134 Richard green eighth is 64 jei fet uh in ninth is 188 which is Robert forsik he wins his class 10th is 21 Malcolm Ash 11th 50 Chris biglin 12th number7 Martin Dolan 13 75 Spicer and Randall 14th 191 Darren Granger that is a class winner as well 114 Alex Harbor is 14th finishing the pits of the puncture 199 Nigel lell didn’t finish either and nor did number 16 Martin lebeer so that was the mag magnificent sevens finale to our classic sports car club Thruxton Thriller for 24 it was a thriller it was and we’ve seen some fabulous racing throughout the day most of the classes really have delivered there been one or two surprises one or two disappointments for uh for competitors whose cars uh let them down but uh overall I think it’s been a great great day I’ve had a super day working alongside UK Chris buxon uh and Kevin and Kieran McKinley down in the uh in the pits who’s kept us entertained down there with all absolutely so yes it has been a wonderful honor and a pleasure to be alongside you Mr piie so then for the final time of the day we will hand down to Kieran McGinley to speak to the drivers he has found and to see us off Kieran all yours well that race had a little bit of everything didn’t it well we got to the end of it and uh you’ll might notice that we are missing the lead car uh but I’m delighted to say that our officials have managed to grab him here he is Steven Collins Steven sans’s car congratulations on the victory how was it out there for you uh rather hot and rather tiring sometimes get to F I’m getting too old for this you know how could you no you can’t say that surely not that was a great victory for you um well yeah I haven’t won too many races out outright in my career and I’ve been racing 15 years so everyone’s a real bonus and thanks very much for the team and CCC for putting on a race I mean it’s we’re getting to the point now where it’s starting to cool down did that have any sort of effect on the track from when you went out this morning um I don’t I don’t think it did if anything the tires were getting hotter um coming in chicane I don’t think there’s anything down in the last chicane coming in but towards in I was locking out the front wheels a lot so either I was making a mess of it or it was something on a circuit well we had quite a few attempts at a race start how does that sort of affect your mindset especially with a shorten race having to remember oh yes actually the pit Windows a little bit earlier it really helps no it doesn’t really it really doesn’t help at all um I think that’s the first time I’ve ever started on poll in my career and to sit there and have about four goes at it well now I don’t need to do it at all I’ve done it four times so you it’s good practice yeah very good practice Yeah Yeah lovely yeah brilliant stuff well Stephen congratulations I go and let you celebrate with your team and uh uh well enjoy it thank you very much thank you stepen Collins there winning out the uh gold Arts magnificent s let’s have a chat to they’re in not in order anymore uh we’ll have a chat to Bruce Wilson who’s just over here in the number 189 uh Bruce third place for you sir how was that out there yeah that was good fun uh I really enjoyed it um really close racing we didn’t hit each other um but very very close at times a bit heart and mouth a few times but uh we managed to avoid each other and uh yeah it was a really good race I mean these cars just offer so much potential in in Close Quarter racing I mean what’s it like trying to keep the concentration out there it was hard and um you know we had all those false starts at the beginning so sort of put you out of your Rhythm a bit um and then I didn’t know the pit window was being shortened so I may pick up a penalty for pitting out of the pit window um but uh anyhow we’ll see it was really good fun racing though yeah well provisionally you’re here so let’s let’s keep it at that for now but I mean how was it out there I mean as the sun starting to sort of recede yeah well the sun actually wasn’t a problem and you know I thought it was going to maybe rain today but it didn’t rain so it’s been lovely dry and I don’t think we’ve had any significant yellow flags in all of our racing so it’s been a really good clean days racing yeah great stuff thank you perfect well Bruce thank you very much for congratulations on third place thank you and let’s have a chat to our second place driver uh let’s see if we can find Simon laner where’s Simon got to ah here he is Simon Lanier let’s have a let’s have a chat to him Simon you got got a couple of minutes yeah yeah yeah all

kept me there here on the corners again so it was good I mean that was a race that had a bit little bit of everything as well a little bit of everything going on out there so yeah that was it was good

Close Quarters racing it’s been a really on the whole a good day in terms of racing oh it’s been a fantastic day and it’s always close racing you know there’s probably about two M difference between me and this car going around the corner side by side but we both had faith in our driving and we our each other so great stuff well congratulations second place I’ll go and let you celebrate yeah yes
