Action-packed Caterham Racing Weekend returns to Croft this weekend

The British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) returns to North Yorkshire's Croft Circuit on June 28-29 for a thrilling Caterham Racing Weekend (Image: Tony Todd) The British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) returns to Croft Circuit with its action-packed Caterham Racing Weekend this Saturday and Sunday (June 28 and 29). Just two weeks since its last visit, this time round BARC will be hosting several rounds of the popular Caterham series along with the Vertu Mini Challenge Trophy and the Darlington and District Motor Club (DDMC) Northern Sports and Saloon Car Championship over the two days. Advertisement Headlining will be the Dutch Barn Vodka Caterham Seven Championship UK which is the flagship series on the Caterham ladder and one of the most prestigious national racing championships in the UK. The Caterham series returns to Croft Circuit (Image: Tony Todd) These machines sport a 180bhp two-litre engine along with a six-speed sequential gearbox and will line up on the grid three times over the course of the event. The visit to the North Yorkshire track will be the fourth round of the season and as ever will promise some close wheel-to-wheel action across the tarmac. Series leader Matt Armstrong is not heading to Croft but second-placed Harry Senior and Paul Donkin, who is third, will be and will be looking to take advantage in Armstrong's absence. Advertisement The Vertex Caterham 310R Championship will also be contesting round four of their series. The class is seen as the penultimate rung on the ladder in the Caterham ranks, with drivers taking to the wheel of machines which have evolved from the Academy car. They will also go head-to-head three times over the weekend. Opening the racing on Saturday afternoon will be the Edge Caterham 270R Championship. A step up from the Roadsport series, most of the cars have evolved from the Academy stage but boast a stiffer suspension and the removal of the windscreen and lights. They will also be in action twice on Sunday, but championship leader Ben Wheatley will be missing so second-placed Louis Darling and third-placed Henry Speaks will be looking to reap the benefits. Advertisement The Bilstein Caterham Roadsport Championship will be in action once on Saturday and again on Sunday. This series is for graduates of the Academy and pits drivers against each other in the road-legal Roadsport race car, which is a simple progression of the 125bhp Ford Sigma powered Academy car. In the Moobob Caterham Academy Championship, novice drivers learn the trade on the first step of the ladder and will race just once on Saturday afternoon. Away from the Caterhams, the Vertu Mini Challenge Trophy will race three times over the weekend. The Trophy championship uses an older generation MINI Cooper which always provides close action. Advertisement DDMC's Northern Sports and Saloon Car Championship will be contesting round seven on Saturday and round eight on Sunday in two 15-minute races which always provides a full grid and an eclectic range of both modern and historic cars in the various classes. Qualifying begins at 9.30am on Saturday followed by racing at 1.55pm. On Sunday there is the opportunity for fans to get up close to the drivers with autographs taking place in the pit lane at 11am. The first race will follow at midday with a full programme of racing throughout the afternoon. Adult admission is just £17 on both days with accompanied children aged 15 and under admitted free, with free parking and paddock access.
