BARC Formula Renault Championship
Round 9
Snetterton - 16 August 1998

Race Report

After a 6 week layoff, a half days testing was needed on the Friday to blow away the cobwebs and bed in a new set of pads. We could have done without the 'box jamming in fourth, which cost one of the sessions but Stuart worked down to a good time by the end of the day.

Qualifying was a little disappointing, 5th on the grid some 8 tenths off Nick Dudfield's pole time but a good first lap saw Stuart up to fourth and catching third place man Michael Nippers

Four laps later, Stuart was past Michael but Nick and Anthony Dunn were nearly 10 seconds ahead. By the end of the race, Nick was in Stuart's sights but not close enough to challenge for second while Anthony took the win.

Next race is at Donington Park on August 31 - see you there.

Race Results 14 laps.
