Barton tribute

Andy Barton, one of the most revered and competitive racers in the early years of the Croft circuit, will be remembered during this weekend’s Classic Nostalgia race meeting.

Barton, who died in June aged 77, was one of first two drivers to average more than 100mph for a race on the original Croft circuit in 1978. He shared that accolade with Jim Evans and Jim’s son Richard is racing this weekend in his Formula Atlantic March 79B.
