Nunn is the Mini star at Croft
Harry Nunn was the star in the Cooper class of the Mini Challenge at Croft as he took his maiden win and a third to propel himself to the head of the points table.
Nunn grabbed the lead on the first lap of the opener, held in drying conditions, and stayed in front for the remainder as a dramatic battle unfolded behind him.
Polesitter Alex Nevill slightly overcooked it into the Complex on the opening lap and lost out to Dominic Wheatley, before soon dropping behind Lee Pearce and Lydia Walmsley too. But the driver on the move was James Hillery, having stormed up from 16th on the grid.
He grabbed third from Walmsley with a move up the inside at Tower with two laps to go, before passing Wheatley through the Complex.
But it then turned to disaster on the penultimate tour as a brake problem into Clervaux put Hillery out, allowing Josh Porter and Wheatley to complete the podium, as Walmsley just missed out by three tenths of a second.
Race two was a disappointment as two safety car periods limited the contest to four racing laps, but it was still enough time for Nunn to surge from 10th on the partially-reversed grid to third. Up front, polesitter Andrew Langley was able to resist the pressure from Martin Poole to take the win.
