After an eight-week break the Motorsport News Caterham Roadsport Challenge blasts back into action on September 9th at
Snetterton, with Dorset driver Gary Halcrow hoping to set the seal on what has proved to be an exceptionally successful season.
Halcrow arrives at the Norfolk circuit with a 31-point lead in the Roadsport B ‘novice' division, thanks to seven wins from ten starts, as well as third place in the championship for the slightly faster Roadsport models.
His aim for Snetterton is a clean sweep of four race wins, but he knows it's a tall order. “I won three out of my four races at the first meeting of the year and did it again at Oulton. It would be great to go the whole way and I'm well up for it – I won't be taking any prisoners.”
But Halcrow will have to overcome some stiff opposition, not least in Roadsport B, in which he was beaten into third place at Cadwell Park in July. His friend and fellow Dorset resident Chris Bialan took the honours in Lincolnshire and will need to finish ahead again to keep alive any hopes of depriving Halcrow of the B-class championship title.
Looking to score well on home ground will be Norwich-based Toby Talbot, who made it to third place at
Donington in May and who holds sixth overall in the B standings.
Jeremy Ellis is likely to be the hardest man for Halcrow to find a way around in the Roadsport class. The Kent-based six-time race winner leads the way by a 36-point margin from Adrian Argyros, with that man Halcrow third overall having clocked up three race wins.
