Verdon-Roe turned the tables in race two as Folch retired, but a stunning effort by Michael Lyons gave him second place in his Hesketh 308, while Belgian legend Jean-Michel Martin (Fittipaldi F8) was third. On the combined results of the two races, class wins went to Mike Wrigley (March 711), Michael Lyons, Ian Simmonds (Tyrell 012) and Verdon-Roe.

 

Leo Voyazides/Simon Hadfield (Lola T70 Mk3B) were victorious in the new FIA Masters Historic Sports Car Championship as they won the opening 90-minute race. They were chased hard early on by the similar car of Martin Stretton/Grant Tromans but when that was halted with mechanical problems, Carlos Monteverde/Gary Pearson (Lola T70) assumed second with Michael Lyons third sharing Mike Wrigley’s Chevron B16. Chris Jolly and Steve Farthing (Cooper T61) took the podium honours in the Pre-66 Touring car section of the race in their Cooper Chevrolet, followed closely by Keith Ahlers / James Bellinger (Cooper Monaco) and Pedro Macedo da Silva and Andy Newall (Ford GT40 Spider). Class wins went to Voyazides/Hadfield, Wrigley/Lyons, Jolly/Farthing, Peter Hallford (Chevrolet Corvette), Macedo da Silva/Newall 

 

The 2nd Round of the FIA Masters Historic Championships is at Brands Hatch on May 26th-27th.
