British Racing & Sports Car Club Race Weekend – Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th May
Fun Cup Endurance Highlights Croft This Weekend
There is set to be another brilliant mix of sprint and endurance racing in store at the BRSCC’s first visit of the year to Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire this forthcoming weekend (May 14/15), with the Fun Cup Endurance Championship the highlight of yet another action-packed meeting.
The popular series will once again be contested over a grueling four-hour period on Saturday afternoon as part of a 13-race schedule over the weekend with races for saloon, sports, and single seaters also prominent over the weekend.
Croft has been synonymous over the years with the Formula Ford brand since the series was inaugurated in the 1960s and this weekend’s event sees rounds of both the Avon Tyres National and Northern Formula Ford Championships on both days.
The popular Ford Fiesta is represented with three rounds of the AIRTEC Motorsport Fiesta Championship whilst the stars of tomorrow will be contesting the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship in their usual non-compromising action no doubt.
One of the biggest grids will be reserved for the local Darlington & District Motor Club’s Northern Sports and Saloon Car Championship which sees an eclectic mix of cars contest the two races on Sunday. Paul Brydon took his BMW M3 to overall victory at the opening round at Oulton Park over Easter but expect the likes of Middlesbrough’s Jack Harper (Triumph Spitfire) and Darlington driver David Cox (Peugeot 205) to be upholding local honour.
Practice gets underway at 9.30 on Saturday with the first of three races, including the Fun Cup Endurance race, commencing at 12.55 whilst Sunday sees track action from 12.00 with the remaining ten races starting at 12.25.
Adult admission is just £15.00 on both days in advance or £17.00 on the day with accompanied children aged 15 and under admitted FREE on both days. There is also FREE car parking and FREE paddock access.
