BRISCA FORMULA 2 ROUND-UP

- Mark Paulson

Mildenhall Stadium’s opening meeting of 2022 brought a maiden BriSCA F2 feature final win for Aaron Patch. The Cheshire driver was kicking himself after missing victory in his heat when a last-bend challenge on Daniel Vaughan only succeeded in spinning both cars.

But he made amends with a dominant display in the final.

A good start left Patch running third early on, and he shoved Charlie England wide to take the lead before halfdistan­ce. As the bigger names fought their way through traffic, Patch pulled clear and was never challenged en route to a comfortabl­e victory. Behind him,

Charley Tomblin prevailed in an entertaini­ng scrap for second with Lee Dimmick, who continued his strong start to the season.

Joe Marquand and Dave Sansom were the star performers at St Day in Cornwall. Having twice held off Marquand in the heats, Sansom could not resist the Saltash man’s attack on the last corner of a thrilling final.

Third heat winner Josh Weare completed the top three.

With Chris Burgoyne absent, Liam Rennie went one better than the previous weekend at Cowdenbeat­h. Deposing long-time leader Trevor Harris in the closing stages, Rennie won from reigning track champion Craig Wallace and Steven Burgoyne.
