Following our previous meeting at Castle Combe, and in the build up to this Silverstone meeting, there had been some noise on the airwaves about penalties given out by the Clerk of the Course to Steven Dailly and James Gornall…the 2 current favourites for the 2017 Nankang Tyre BMW Compact Cup Championship crown. Although it’s…
Although there would be 6 races still to come afterwards, this mid season visit to Castle Combe circuit in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside had been highlighted by some as a possible season concluding meeting…meaning that a couple of wins by James Gornall might have allowed him to “break the tow” of his nearest challengers.

With 3 different winners from the…
Heading into the penultimate meeting of 2016, everyone had their own views and ideas about how the championships leading contenders would fare on the technical and tricky Oulton Park International circuit. Would Jiggy stretch his lead….Would Steven Dailly reel him back in a bit….Would Joe Wiggin continue his run of form and hijack the top…

Castle Combe – Sunday 17th July 2016 Qualifying With sunshine and broken cloud, we couldn’t have asked for nicer conditions for qualifying…. although some of our drivers had been praying for rain as they felt this might give them an advantage over those who preferred dry conditions.
