Farmer makes Vee racing return

Multiple Formula Vee champion Martin Farmer returned to the series at Oulton Park on Saturday for the first time this season.

He secured two third places on a wet and greasy track in his GAC, having refamiliarised himself with the car during a half-day of testing on the Friday before.

Farmer has taken a step back from racing in the past two years and has been concentrating on running his growing Torq Racewear business, with his last race prior to the weekend at the Vee Festival in 2018.

He decided to enter the Oulton rounds at the last minute and is undecided when he will get the car out again.

“As it stands, we’ll just do this as a bit of a one-off,” he explained. “I’ve heard that Donington Park [the next championship round] has already sold out with entries, so I’m not sure we’ll be able to do that even if we wanted to.”
