ANOTHER
SENSATIONAL
SNETTERTON
 

Snetterton hosted two days of Equipe Classic Racing action at the weekend, and it was two very different days with a wet Saturday and a fine and sunny Sunday but once again, Snetterton gave us both great racing and memorable moments.

As ever, a big thank you to all those of you who supported our core series over the weekend and a big thank you to all of the Marshals who endured the very wet weather on Saturday.

Equipe Sports Prototypes
Greaham Hofmans planted his Revolution EVO 500 firmly on pole for the opening Equipe Sports Prototypes race of the day on Saturday, and although fellow front row starter Scott Mittell took the lead round the outside at the first corner, he went wide later in the lap and it was Hofmans who lead at the end of lap one. Tim Gray was second early on his Praga from the Norma of Max Windheuser, Mittell coming round in fourth on the wet track.

On lap two Mittell was on a recovery drive and went round the outside of Windheuser through Coram to take second, and a lap later was right with the leader. Hofmans had a spin at Oggies that let the Mittell MC41RR past, but Mittell was denied a win when he slowed with a driveshaft issue, Windheuser taking the lead and staying out of trouble to take his maiden Equipe Sports Prototypes win, Hofmans second and Gray third in the Praga.
“That was treacherous out there,” said Windheuser. “I kept it on the track, so pleased to take out first win, it’s been a long time coming, the car is brilliant at the moment!”

Later in the afternoon race two saw the field behind the safety car with a car off one the first lap, and when racing resumed Windheuser continued his fine form to lead all the way and make it two wins out of two. Behind, MIttell battled long and hard with Hofmans, the two cars strong in different parts of the circuit, the powerful Revolution having the straight line speed advantage while the nimble Mittell could brake later and was quicker through the corners.

At the end Hofmans had just eased clear to claim second from Mittell, Gray third while John Davis was the first Radical home.

“I was used to the conditions this time and the car was working so well,” said Windheuser. “I slowed on the final lap as I didn’t want to mess it up!”

Equipe GTS
The TVR Grantura of Brian Caudwell was on pole for the Equipe GTS race, and a good start saw the car come round clear of the rest at the end of lap one. Harvey McBrien was second but had William Reed right with him and their MGB battle would rage for much of the race and was a highlight of the day.

With Caudwell under no pressure in the lead the attention was on the fight for second, Reed getting past at the Wilson hairpin on lap five, behind, Jack Willmott was fourth in his TVR, David Wenman going well in his Morgan Plus 4 having worked his way up to fifth. Reed was first to pit at the end of his eighth lap, the leader in one lap later.
John Caudwell was now in the lead TVR and claimed an impressive win, Reed and O’Brien dicing and still trading places. As they fought that let Andrew Wenman, now in the Morgan, close in and on the final lap he went past both of them at the end of the Bentley Straight to  snatch second after a great drive, Reed having to settle for third with O’Brien next up, the three cars crossing the line less than a second apart.

“Brian gave me a good lead, his times were amazing,” said John Caudwell. “I was having to work hard, this car is so different to the Cobras we raced earlier in the day, but so good to win, the car handles amazingly well.”

“I managed to get them right at the end,” said Wenman. “My dad got us into fourth, I was watching their race and they were having a good one, I got them both right on the final lap.”

Equipe MG Cup
The Equipe MG Cup runners seemed to catch the worst of the weather in both their Saturday races, but as ever put on a great show. Ian Boulton led the field away in race one with Nick Ashman initially second, but Boulton was out of the race early on and a heavy rain shower two laps in shook up the order.

Ashman led for two laps in his ZR170 but James Moreton was closing in with his ZS180 and the similar car of Peter Burchill was up to third. Moreton moved ahead on lap four with Ashman retiring, while behind two drivers on the move in the tricky conditions were Joshua Dacres and Rob Cull, these two battling over second on the final lap, Cull just taking the position behind Moreton, Dacres third in his ZR170 and Burchill fourth.

“I wasn’t sure we were on the right tyres, then it rained and the wets were the right choice,” said Moreton. “They were closing in at the end as the track was drying, I was just trying to make no mistakes and bring it home.”
It was just as wet for race two, and while initially getting wheelspin off the line in his ZR160 a great move round the outside at Riches saw Cull go from fourth to the lead. As Cull eased away at the front, there was a great battle for second between Moreton and Dacres, while charging up the order from the back of the grid was Ashman, who gained seven places on the opening lap.

Cull was away and clear to take a rare Equipe MG Cup win for a class A car, Moreton just getting away from Dacres to finish second. Ashman continued his charge in the tricky conditions, quickest car on the track in the final laps and reeling in Dacres right at the end to take a fine third place finish.

“The wheels just spun at the start, I had to back off and go again,” said Cull. “I just went round the outside and it felt like the car was on rails! It was really great, the wet weather tyres were working so well and I got into a really focussed rhythm and it just worked.”

Equipe 70s with Sports Racing Cars
The Equipe 70s and Sports Racing Cars fields combined for two 30-minute races on Sunday afternoon and proved very well matched. The V6 Ford Capri of Steve Dance was on pole and made a good start, John Dickson slotting into second in his Ferrari 308 ahead of the Ford Escorts of Rob Cull and Martin Reynolds.

Dance used the power of the Capri RS3100 to pull away, Dickson slowing on lap six and retiring with a wheel bearing issue. That moved the battling Escorts up to second and third, Reynolds now ahead of Cull after the two cars were side by side down the pit straight as they started lap six.

Dance took the win while behind Reynolds got back into second with a superb move through the Bombhole, only to lose out again heading into the final lap, Cull claiming second. The flying sports racing car leaders were among the 70s runners from early in the race, Sean McLurg’s Chevron B6 the pace setter and coming home fourth overall, Max Windheuser had been with him early in the race but was forced to retire with a seat issue.

“The car doesn’t like to go too quick too soon, let the tyres come in,” said Dance. “I could see the times were quite consistent, the track was good, the car is a real pleasure to take round this circuit.”
“It was good fun,” said McLurg, “I had a tussle with Max and then with the 70s cars. They have advantages in certain places, we do elsewhere, it was really enjoyable.”

Their second race closed the two days of racing, Dance again getting away well and never headed on his way to another win. Cull and Reynolds disputed second early on, Reynolds finally getting past on five and then able to open a gap, while behind the lead sports racing car battle entertained, Nick Thompson, now in the Chevron B6, holding off Windheuser.
Reynolds stayed clear to take second place, Cull losing ground late on and slipping to fifth, the Escort of Joe Gomm next up having battled with John Pearson’s similar car for much of the race. Thompson claimed third overall and sports racing car honours easing clear of Windheuser later in the race.

“The car is really on song today, faultless,” said Dance, “really good to take two wins.”

“That was a real battle with Max again,” said sport racing cars winner Thompson. “We were on the pack right away and in the thick of it early on, really good fun.”

Equipe with Swiftune Challenge
A great field of Minis lined up for the first Swiftune Mini Series race, and when pole sitter Declan Edgecombe was slow away it was David Ogden who led the field after lap one from Phil Bullen-Brown and Tom Westley. A lap later it was Westley at the front, but quickest car on the track and working his way up the order was Chris Morgan, now in fourth.

By the midpoint of the race Westley was a second clear, but Morgan was now in second having got past Ogden and was intent on closing the gap. They were close with a lap to go and Morgan was past in the first part of the lap, just clear of Westley as they reached the flag to end the race, Ogden third from Bullen-Brown.
“That was hard work, so slippery out there!” said Morgan. “It was getting drier but a really good race, had a great battle with Tom and just pipped him.”

Finishing order for race one gave the grid for race two, and this time it was Bullen-Brown who made the best start, going round the outside of both front row starters to head the field into the first corner, Morgan second from Westley and Ogden. Bullen-Brown showed some real pace, extending his advantage to over three seconds, but a moment at Murrays on lap five saw him lose time and Morgan move to the front.

Bullen-Brown held second but Westley was on a charge after heading a train of Minis early on and took two places in the infield section of the Snetterton 300 circuit on the final lap to come home second. Up front, Morgan had enough in hand to claim his second win of the day.

“Tricky conditions again, it was raining one side of the circuit and not on the other,” said Morgan. “These cars are really good fun, and nice to have a full grid of them and it gives really good racing.”

Equipe Libre
The Equipe Libre field opened Sunday’s racing with the fine weather a big contrast to the day before. The AC Cobras of Biran and John Caudwell shared the front row and duly led the field away, Bruce Montgomery’s Austin Healey 3000 in third with Jamie Boot’s TVR Griffith close behind.

It took Boot until the end of lap seven to find a way past Montgomery, the TVR powering by down the Senna straight, the lead pair now well clear, and Montgomery was the first to make the compulsory pitstop at the end of his eight lap. John Caudwell pitted on lap nine and leader Brian Caudwell a lap later – the lead Cobra just a little to quick on his stop.
Brian Caudwell had enough of an advantage that he could take the drive through penalty and still emerge ahead and thus took the win from John Caudwell, Boot third. Montgomery claimed fourth with the Jaguar E-Type of Andrew Moore next up, a fine drive from Larry Warr in his Mini earning him sixth.

“It’s warm out there, and eventful as I got that drive through!” said Brian Caudwell, “I got a good start and these cars are awesome to drive, so much power, no driver aids, when you get it right it is so rewarding.”
