Craig Varney, from Bedworth, (03/2007) at Mallory Park racing his Citroen Saxo in the 750 Motorclub "Hot Hatch" Championship. From a grid of 40 entrants Craig qualified in 19th position then battled his way through to finish 10th in the final! A very good drive!
Mallory Park (03/2007): 18-year old Ryan Lindsay takes instructions from Alan Harding, the boss of the AHS Team just prior to the final of the main event of the day -the 750 Motorclub National Formula Vee Single-seater Final. Having experienced severe understeer problems Ryan qualified in 9th place for this 25-car final. His engineers had worked like crazy on the rear suspension to get the car improved for the final in which Ryan was involved in a titanic battle for 4th place with Ben Evans (below) and six other drivers including so-called "racing sensation" 18-year old Alexander Simms! The eight drivers involved in this battle ran nose-to-tail in a frightening race that thoroughly justified its top billing on the race card! On lap 4 Ryan got away with minimal involvement in a 4-car crunch that saw one of the Vee's complete several barrel rolls in the air! The race was red flagged and Ryan was able to take the re-start with the same close fight re-commenced! After much swapping of places the chequered flag came out and only 10 seconds covered the top 12 places! Positions 4 to 8 were covered by just one second! Ryan finished in 7th place (with 5th fastest lap) and Alexander Simms finished 12th!
This was a superb example of what a motor race should be and terrifically exciting for all of the spectators! Ryan played his part and must certainly be considered a Championship contender!
