UK: MAS Croft Easter Monday preview

Sprint Aces Set For Croft

The MSA British Sprint Championship makes its annual visit to the demanding and high speed Croft Circuit on Easter Monday and with 21 of Britain's top sprint drivers and a further 120 competitors in supporting Championships, the competition will be fierce.

Each competitor will have two practice runs and then a further three attempts to better their times with the top twelve heading for a run-off to determine just who takes home the spoils.

With last year's winner moving away from sprints, it could be Tony Eyles (Force V6), Martin Dowling (Reynard 88D 3500) or Terry Holmes (Reynard Tegra SF84 1998) on the top step of the podium or there again it could also be one of the many 2 litre single seaters who plan to conquer the 1.9 mile track.

Local solicitor Simon Cole from Moulton is another driver vying for honours and will be hoping for victory in his venerable 4.5 litre TVR350i.

Supporting them will be a host of Michelin Porsche Cup contenders, numerous Westfield Speed Series competitors, the Fantasysport Midland Speed and the BOC Wigton Speed supporters.

The multi-discipline Darlington & District Motor Club is in charge of proceedings with Practice commencing at 9.30 am and the first runs following on straight afterwards.

Admission is just £6.00 for adults with accompanied children under 15 admitted free.
