BARC open Welsh double programme in NWales

The double header at Cadwell Park was much more successful with two excellent and very close encounters and Andy Southcott winning both in his MG Modsports.

No doubt he will be challenged hard again this weekend with the challenge coming from Dave Harvey in his Locosaki, Paul Dobson in his Locost 7 and Danny Bird with his Spire GTR. In the modified classes Robert Burkinshaw in his Honda Integra will be out to maintain his overall championship lead but will be pushed hard by Jamie Cryer’ Ginetta G20 and Steve Parker’s BMW.

After these short, sharp races the weekend will be concluded with a four-hour Citroën C1 race. The previous event was a 24 hour race at Silverstone with 99 cars and 442 drivers.

Although there will not be that number out this weekend, a sizeable grid of about 30 cars is expected with up to six drivers per car.

Luckless Seb

Welshman Seb Morris and JRM team-mate Rick Parfitt Jnr remain third in the British GT Championship driver standings following the second event of the 2019 season at Snetterton on Sunday, despite experiencing something of a luckless weekend at the Norfolk track. 

Morris was on course to secure their second podium of the campaign during round three on Sunday morning, with the duo having started 10th, but contact on the final lap of the 60-minute contest resulted in damage to the No.31 Bentley and a slip to fifth on the drag to the line.

Round four later in the day proved even more vexing for the 23-year-old and his team-mate when an unfortunate spin for Parfitt Jnr, while pushing for the podium, led to heavy contact with the barriers and, although rejoining, an unrelated late-race puncture dropped the duo out of the top 10.
