Tue 28 May: A short turnaround after a Bank Holiday weekend in which we recover from a soaked Snetterton. Thunderstorms were the talk of the town over the Norfolk circuit as Rounds 7, 8 and 9 of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) took place.
Jake Hill took two wins from the weekend despite a penalty in the second race of the day in what was a mega drive. A fan favourite win also took place as Rob Huff took his first win 20 years in the BTCC at his home circuit and also the circuit of his last victory in 2004.
Caitlin Wood was also racing at Snetterton, finishing on the class podium in all three races on the opening weekend of the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB. Wood welcomed ‘Inspiring Girls UK’ on Saturday for a meet and greet to partner her on her mission to empower and inspire young girls to break into the world of motorsport which got tremendous support throughout the weekend which you can read here!
A new Motor Sport column by our MD Matt Bishop is published. This week, the Bish writes on the subject of the 1974 Monaco Grand Prix, a more eventful race than this year’s event at the Principality, which also took place on Sunday 26th May, the 50-year anniversary of an achievement that stands tall in the record books for one John Watson: his very first F1 world championship point.
Wed 29 May: It is yet another race week for Team Diagonal as we head into the ever-busy summer months in motorsport. We are heading abroad this time, with Pat Heuzenroeder, as the GB3 Championship takes on round three at the world-famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. We jump straight into the weekend as testing begins on the Thursday for a long weekend of motorsport for the promising 18-year old Aussie.
