TEAM SaS CROFT - Giles and Jen Stainton, from Helen Pask

- Written by Helen Pask, pic by THE Sid Diggins
Giles and Jen Stainton from Upton travelled to Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire for their first race of the new season where they completed race one without mishap but then suffered a couple of spins in the second encounter on Sunday and retired from the race.
Jen commented: “This was our first meeting of the year and it had to be the first round of the FSRA F2 British championship which meant a lot of pressure on us to perform. Also Croft circuit was where we had a pretty bad crash last year so we were also facing our demons which is a bit stressful in the first race of the season.”
Giles and Jen completed the test day on Friday to acclimatise themselves with the circuit prior to qualifying on Saturday but the weather took a turn for the worse and the heavens opened just as the teams went out for qualifying.

Hyundai Construction Equipment British Sidecar Championship, Brands Hatch

A grey dull day welcomed free practice, but things were better for qualifying. The main interest lay in the different capacity performance on the short Indy circuit.
Could the 1000cc bikes use the power, or would the more nimble 600's out-corner them?
The free session saw Kershaw and Clark nudge the Birchall brothers back, with John Holden/Lee Cain third on their 600, from Stevens/Charlwood similarly mounted.
