In the Formula Renault Championship, 22 year old Derbyshire driver Hywel Lloyd took victory in the opening round at Donington Park and will be looking for a repeat dose in North Yorkshire Didcot’s Ian Pearson will be looking to consolidate his lead in the club class in his Tatuus RC 98.


Drivers in the BOOKATRACK.com Caterham Classic Graduate Championship get three outings and Trevor Newman will be hoping to keep his winning start going after taking a double victory at Pembrey last time out as will Surrey’s Paul Poulter who defends a maximum points haul in the Pickup Truck Championship in his Vauxhall.
