FORES BACK IN PRAGA

Clubman-turned-GB3 racer

Alex Fores will return to Praga Cup this weekend sharing an R1 machine with British GT racer Dominic Paul in the inaugural championship’s Donington Park season closer.

Fores previously raced a Praga at Silverstone in June, taking a fastest lap, and last month competed in the Historic Sports Car Club’s Formula Ford 2000 category at Croft in a Reynard SF78, his first races since a July Castle Combe Caterham crash at left him hospitalised.

His Praga outing, which as before is with Idola Motorsport, is being supported by Dave Bromfield of Bromfield Precision Engineering who has supported much of Fores’s racing.

Fores told Motorsport News: “My dad’s known [Paul] for a long time. He came to watch the last Praga races, he was interested all about it, so when he saw that we did well he got in contact and made a deal with Idola.

“He had an F3 car for F3 Cup with CDR so we crossed paths there. I’d love to do more [Praga races with Paul in future]. We’re going to take this as a learning weekend for him, and he loves it then it’d be a really exciting prospect to take it further.”
