Introduction

BriSCA Formula One Stock Cars return to King’s Lynn for the first time in two months this weekend (22 July, 5:30pm), while V8 Hot Stox make their only visit of the year, and the programme is completed by Ministox.

 

There are currently 46 F1 Stock Cars, 32 V8 Stock Cars and 26 BriSCA MiniStox booked in to race

Please note that any driver who turns up unbooked will not receive any complimentary admissions that they may be entitled to and may also not be allowed to race if the event is still fully booked.

Drivers should book in to race through their association.

Drivers please note that the pits open at  2pm and your early arrival will be appreciated. Drivers turning up in the last hour could well find themselves missing their first race. 

 

BriSCA Formula One Stock Cars

The early entry is headed by world champion 1 Frankie Wainman Jr who, after streaking to a pair of dominant final wins at the track at the start of last year, has not claimed the main event at King’s Lynn since. Will he be able to break that streak this weekend?

 

Can World Champion 1 Frankie Wainman Jnr win his first King's Lynn final in over a year this Saturday?

 

Frankie’s brother 212 Danny Wainman has never won a final at King’s Lynn but has been going very well at the track this year so could well be in contention this weekend. Completing the family team, 555 Frankie Wainman Jr Jr is seeking his first-ever win on shale, and is growing in confidence on the loose surface after some strong performances this season.

The Wainmans’ traditional rival, 390 Stuart Smith Jr won the grand national last time out and has looked devastatingly quick when things are running well so, despite professing not to be a fan of the track, he will certainly be one to watch. Smith couldnt stop winning at the start of the season but an upgrading to Superstar in May has seen the chequered flags dry up for the Rochdale driver and indeed since being graded Superstar he has only taken one race victory which was the aforemantioned Grand National here last time out and he will be keen to get into the winners circle again on Saturday.

Rotherham racer 21 Mark Gilbank has been in fine form this season, scorching to main event success at the April world qualifier. He may not be one of the sport’s superstars, but discount him at your peril.

Deposed European champion 4 Dan Johnson returns to a plain old red roof this weekend, which might give him that little extra motivation. Always on the pace and one of the hardest chargers there is, Johnson surprisingly hasn’t won a final at the Saddlebow Road venue for three years. Time to put that right.

Transatlantic superstar 84 Tom Harris will add some spice to proceedings, while Norfolk’s own 16 Mat Newson carries home hopes.

In the last weekend of action before the Shootout qualification cut-off, 259 Paul Hines retains a very slim hope of deposing 422 Ben Riley and clinching a top-12 spot. He needs something of a miracle but stranger things have happened. Both will be in action on Saturday night.

Track specialist 335 Mark Woodhull could be one to watch, while fans’ favourites 45 Nigel Harrhy and 326 Mark Sargent should entertain the packed terraces.

There is a welcome return for 94 John Dowson Jr, while 18 Richard Ahern continues his fledgling BriSCA F1 career, following in his famous father’s footsteps. We are also delighted to welcome a four-strong Dutch contingent in H40 Mark Tesselaar, H54 Sierd de Vries H295 Willem Zwerver and H410 Jelle Tesselaar all of whom know the fast way around the Adrian Flux Arena.

54 Sierd de Vries is one of several welcome Dutch visitors

 

 

V8 Hot Stox

In their annual appearance on the Norfolk shale, the Rover V8-engined cars contest the second most important title there is, the British Championship.

 

211 Phoebe Wainman defends the crown and will be very keen to keep hold of the black-and-white chequered roof, just like her father Frankie did in BriSCA F1. Phoebe hasn’t always had the best of fortune at King’s Lynn but she’s perfectly capable of getting the job done.

 

Will 211 Phoebe Wainman retain the British title she won last year?

 

Points leader 498 Olly Spencer is another obvious contender, along with world champion 1 Adam Joyce. Former European champion 328 Michael Boswell is another with proven pedigree in big races.

450 Sam Mee was the winner of the main event at King’s Lynn two years ago. He, like 137 Sam Jacklin, relative local 222 Guy Jolly, and 575 Darren Cottrill, is a very strong performer on shale and so will also fancy his chances of being in the mix.

Ministox

The under-16s make their second appearance at the track this season. Pint-sized 180 Jack Witts took the main honours last time out, and the sophomore driver will be looking to continue that kind of form this weekend.

 

National champion 1 Charlie Guinchard, British champion 8 Catherine Harris and European champion 392 Lewis Evans are the drivers everyone has to beat, but there are plenty more capable winners in the strong field.

 

 

British Champion 8 Catherine Harris is always one of the drivers to beat around King's Lynn

 

Spalding’s 798 Finn Sargent is likely to have home support on the terraces, while third generation racer 391 Rebecca Smith will also be glad of a shorter-than-usual trip from her Essex base and is another likely frontrunner.
