the British Racing Sports Car Club Championship comes to Croft Circuit this weekend with 16 races jammed in over the two days.

Centre stage will be taken by the awesome Formula Palmer Audi class with drivers from as far afield as the USA, Germany and Switzerland taking to the grid for the two 16-lap races. But local drivers are expected to perform well on their home circuit.

Richmond's Mark McAleer and Keith Penman from Darlington go head to head once again in the VSR 6 and Grand Slam Championship races in their 2.9 litre Thundercar silhouettes whilst Maltby driver Paul Gibson will start as one of the favourites for the National Supersports Championship races in his Harrison Vauxhall engined Nemesis.

Practice gets underway on Saturday at 09.30 with the first of Saturday's five-race programme commencing at 15.25. Sunday's eleven-race schedule gets underway at 12.05.

Admission costs £5.00 per adult on Saturday and £12.00 on Sunday with accompanied children under 15 admitted free on both days.
