LIVINGSTON, JACKSON AND GRANT DOUBLE UP IN FORMULA FORD

Pierre Livingston, Cam

Jackson and Callum Grant were Formula Ford double winners on a weekend of excellent competition.

There was a strong Formula Ford flavour to the HSCC’s annual visit to Lincolnshire, with half of the weekend’s 20 races dedicated to period FF1600 and FF2000 cars.So strong was the Historic FF2000 entry that it was split over two heats and two finals but at the front it was always about two drivers. Friends and rivals Grant and Benn Simms went wheel-to-wheel in two impeccable contests and it was Grant who just had the upper hand. However, he only ever had a margin when Simms spun at the Gooseneck late in the second race.

Livingston maintained his Oulton Park form with a double in the Historic

Formula Ford Championship and added a third win in the non-championship thrash. As expected, Linton Stutley and Cam Jackson were his big rivals and Jackson then cleaned up in the Classic Formula Championship races.

Young lions Benn Tilley and Ben Stiles headed the combined Classic F3 and Classic FF2000 races, while Jeremy Clark saw off a strong field to claim an impressive 70s Road Sports double. It was a tough weekend for Historic Road Sports pacesetter Kevin Kivlochan as retired his AC Cobra from the opener with a sticking throttle, which left him starting dead last in Sunday’s race. The wins went to Will Plant (in Kivlochan’s Morgan) and Paul Tooms in the Lotus Elan of Larry Kennedy as Kivlochan clawed his way up to sixth.
