NOBODY CAN STOP THE CHAMPIONS TAKING A FUN CUP DOUBLE

Defending Fun Cup Endurance Champions UVio/Hofmann’s totally dominated the seasonal ‘into the night’doubleheader at Anglesey last weekend.

Fabio Randaccio built a substantial early lead in race one, before handing to Farquini Deott. They led for 111 and of the 118 laps.

Teddy Wilson retired the Track Focused car from second early on with broken steering, which left Stobart Sport and

Team Viking duelling.

But the Stobart car broke a driveshaft as MJ Tec GITI’s Scott Jeffs/Martin Gibson secured second. Viking took third on the road but were penalised after late contact with GCI Racing. That promoted Greenheath’s

Gary Bate/Paul Turner to the final podium place.

Track Focused’s Wilson once again showed his pace in race two, leading the first 30 laps. But UVio Hofmann’s dominance soon prevailed and, despite the race being red flagged, they recorded their second win of the day. Stobart’s Richard Webb/Jonathan

Hoad were second and the Greenheath crew were third.

John Murphy’s Van Diemen RF90 managed to hold off Andrew Schofield’s Reynard FF89 in the Northern & Super Classic Formula Ford race until mistake at the Hairpin near the end gave his rival a run through the Bus Stop, which proved decisive. Peter Daly’s Van Diemen RF88 looked on from a distant third.

Murphy got his revenge in race two after a race-long battle with Schofield and Daly. Schofield led from the start but Murphy charged ahead into Rocket on lap. Daly briefly ousted Schofield from second, but all three remained close at the flag.

The Caterham UK races became duels between championship leader Aaron Head and James Murphy. After a number of early exchanges in race one, Murphy made it stick from Rocket at half distance. But in race two they took it down to the wire with Murphy claiming a narrow victory over Head, but both almost lost out to Henry Heaton on the last lap. Head finally got his win at the third attempt.

Although Harry George just held on to take the flag first in the Caterham 310R race, both he and third-placed Jack Sales received post-race penalties. That gave Blair McConachie the victory over George and Harry Cook.
