Donington Park provided the setting for an action-packed bill of TOCA support championships to begin their campaigns this past weekend (April 18-19), with each and every one of them delivering unmissable entertainment.

Tom Ovenden enjoyed the perfect start to his defence of the Power Maxed MINI CHALLENGE JCW as he claimed every point that was on offer.

Returning to defend the crown he won in the one-make series last year, Ovenden stamped his authority on the series in emphatic fashion by firstly claiming pole position in qualifying.

That was to be only the beginning for the EXCELR8 Motorsport driver however as he then swept aside the opposition to clinch three race wins, and accompanied them with a hat-trick of fastest laps as well.

Sam Gornall, Nathan Edwards, Max Edmundson and Charlie Hand emerged as the closest challengers to Ovenden, with each of them standing on the podium at least once over the course of the weekend.

A record 31-car grid lined up for the opening three rounds of the Wera Tools F4 British Championship certified by FIA, where three different drivers having stood on the top step of the podium.

Title favourite and McLaren Development Driver Dries Van Langendonck claimed a commanding lights-to-flag victory in race one before his Rodin Motorsport team-mate Ethan Lennon then came to the fore to win a truncated second contest.

Van Langendonck returned to the head of the field in the weekend’s finale however he was adjudged to have caused a collision with Theo Palmer and was handed a time penalty, which in-turn promoted Joseph Smith to top spot.

Over in the Porsche Carwow Carrera Cup Great Britain, Junior GB driver Callum Voisin made the perfect start to the season as he hustled his Century Motorsport machine to victory in a fast and furious opener.

Marking his debut in style, Voisin was the class of the field in race one however he was unable to repeat the feat in the partially reversed grid bout, which was won for the first time by the experienced Ollie Jackson.

The Porsche Carwow Sprint Challenge Great Britain also wowed the crowds under the flight path of East Midlands airport, with three races and one driver standing head and shoulders above the rest.

After narrowly missing out on the coveted crown last year, Joe Marshall is back for a second season and the Team Parker Racing driver made the perfect start to his title challenge as he snared victory in all three races.

Rounding out the support race action on the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship bill was a guest appearance from the Legends Cars Championship, which was starting its Elite Cup.

Six breathtaking races culminated in wins falling the way of Aaron Cooke, Tyler Read and Andy Bird.
