The Classic Touring Car Racing Club enjoyed a spectacular guest appearance on the support bill of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship this past weekend (June 6-7), delighting tens of thousands of fans with some retro wheel-to-wheel moments.
Following on from the Pre-66 Touring Cars wowing the crowds alongside the UK’s premier motorsport series a few years ago, it was the turn of the Pre-83 Touring Cars this time and they didn’t disappoint with three captivating contests.
James Everard – who was sharing driving duties with Jonathan Corker in last year’s championship-winning Datsun 510 – kicked off proceedings by romping to victory in race one ahead of Jerry Bailey in his Rover SD1 and Tom Harvey in his Ford Escort Mk1.
Mark Osborne, who had finished fourth in the opening encounter, then came to the fore in the proceeding two races as he hustled his immaculate Triumph Dolomite Sprint to back-to-back victories.
Corker and MINI CHALLENGE competition Harry Hickton joined Osborne on the podium in race two before Neil Philpotts and Nic Grindrod added to their silverware collections by finishing second and third respectively in race three.
Team Parker Racing’s Joe Marshall continued his sensational run of the form in the Porsche Carwow Sprint Challenge Great Britain as he extended his current winning streak to a remarkable nine races.
Winning the final three contests of the 2025 campaign at Brands Hatch, Marshall swept his way to a hat-trick of wins at the Donington Park curtain-raiser back in April and duly followed it up with three more in Cheshire.
Those triumphs have now made Marshall the most successive driver in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain history. Joining him on the podium across the weekend was Joshua Rogers, Ethan Hammerton and Matthew Kyle-Henney.
Over in the Power Maxed MINI CHALLENGE, Sam Gornall bounced back from a challenging few events to win twice, igniting his championship challenge in the process.
Josh Porter was the driver to beat in qualifying as he snared pole position however Gornall came alive in both contests to win in emphatic fashion. There were also podiums for reigning champion Tom Ovenden, Joe Tanner and Charlie Hand.
Closing out the weekend were six races from the Scottish Legends Championship. Stephen Treherne and Matthew Pape were the big winners on Saturday before Pape and Angus Scrivener then shared the spoils on Sunday.
