The British Automobile Racing Club took centre stage at Croft Circuit this past weekend (June 14/15) for two action-packed days of full-throttle entertainment, headlined by the TCR UK Championship.
Making the first of two Club visits in three weeks to the North Yorkshire venue, an enthusiastic crowd flocked through the gates to witness an abundance of thrills and spills from a host of different categories.
Topping the bill was the TCR UK Championship and it was a meeting that arguably belonged to title contender Adam Shepherd in his Cupra Leon VZ TCR machine, for both the right and the wrong reasons.
From the moment he hit the track, Shepherd was the driver to beat and he duly romped to pole position in qualifying before then converting his front row start into a flawless lights-to-flag victory in race one.
Shepherd also took the chequered flag first in the reverse grid second race however he would be excluded post-race after being deemed to be at fault for contact with Steve Laidlaw at Tower Bend. His exclusion thus promoted Callum Newsham up to top spot.
Not to be deterred, Shepherd bounced back in style in the final contest of the weekend as he came out on top of a chaotic finale to triumph for a second time and with it, strengthen his challenge for the coveted crown.
Over in the Milltek Civic Cup, which is a touted as a one-make feeder series to TCR UK, Liam McGill and Alistair Camp walked away from Croft with a share of the spoils.
McGill struck first as he translated pole position into a peerless victory in race one however Camp was quick to strike back in race two as he guided his Honda Civic Type R to the chequered flag, albeit just seven tenths of a second ahead of Josh Bromley.
Race one victor McGill had to settle for third as Camp triumphed although it wasn’t long before he was back on the top step of the podium as he dominated proceedings in race three, beating Jake Hewlett and Camp by more than five seconds.
Elsewhere, the P4 Emergency Lighting Caterham Graduates Championship wrote the latest chapter in its 2025 campaign as both the Sigma 135 Class and Sigma 150 Class staged three races apiece.
Despite both grids being stacked with race-winning drivers, both categories saw clean sweeps recorded as David Rooke charged to a hat-trick of race wins in the Sigma 135 ranks while reigning Sigma 150 champion Jamie Ellwood also tallied three wins out of three.
There were more twists and turns in the Junior Saloon Car Championship as Oliver Kerr threw his name into the ring as a title contender as the talented teenager claimed an impressive brace of race wins.
Having scored his first win of the season last time out at Silverstone, Kerr continued his rich vein of form of Croft as he snared pole position in an ultra-competitive qualifying session before being the star of the show in races one and two.
Kerr’s dominance came to an end in a captivating third and final encounter as championship leader Wilf Butler reminded everyone why he remains the driver to beat by charging to a commanding victory, with rivals Josh Selvadorai and Kerr finishing in his wheel tracks.
Rounding out the weekend’s action at the BARC-operated venue were two races from the Track Action Racing Club, which boasted another ultra-competitive grid of eclectic cars that went wheel-to-wheel.
Despite the diverse range of drivers and machines, three names ultimately stood head and shoulders above the rest; Shaun Goverd in his Citroen AX, Paul Roddison in his Skoda Octavia and Shaun Deacon in his Peugeot 106.
Goverd proved to be the cream of the crop as he produced a flawless performance as he first powered his AX to pole position before then getting the better of Roddison and Deacon in both races to triumph twice.
