The early season action continues in style at Croft Circuit near Darlington this weekend (26/27 May) when the Midlands-based 750 Motor Club hosts an 18-race programme over the bank holiday weekend.
Over 150 competitors will contest the action over both Saturday and Sunday around the full Croft International 2.125-mile track with nine races each day for the various classes which will see the championship regulars take on a few local drivers to add spice to proceedings.
Salisbury Mazda driver Paul Maguire makes the long trip North after taking maximum points in the Devanti 5Club MX5 Cup opening round and will be hoping for more success in the three races this weekend whilst the Demon Tweeks/Yokohama Locost competitors also get three outings with Camberley’s Mark Burton currently in charge.
The BMW brand is well catered for with races for the Tegiwa M3 Cup and MTEC Brakes 330 Challenge as well as the BMWCCR Series which will see Boroughbridge driver Kirk Armitage and former Croft champion Mike Cutt from York take on the series regulars.
In the Royal Purple Hot Hatch Championship, expect plenty of action with class leaders Alistair Camp (Ford Fiesta), Rodren Vella (Honda Civic) and Michael Winkworth (Citroen Saxo) to the fore whilst single-seater action is provided by the Heritage Parts Centre Formula Vee Championship led by Craig Pollard.
The varied entry in the 750MC Allcomers race as well as the Cartek Roadsports Series will see a wide range of powerful machinery going for glory over the two-day meeting which sees practice commence at 9.30 on Saturday with the nine races starting at 12.10. Sunday’s action starts at 12.00 with another nine races to round off a bumper weekend of action.
