Sinclair at the double to clinch trophy win

Tony Sinclair easily won both the Open Sports Car races to take home the Archie Scott Brown Trophy, awarded as a tribute to Snetterton's first hero.

In the opening race Sinclair dominated as his rivals fell foul of the slippery conditions. The second race was held on a dry track and this time Alan Hogg gave chase, but lacked the power on the straights to overcome Sinclair's hold.

Local driver Paul Marsham was having his first taste of circuit racing and did well to come home eighth in race one before improving to seventh in the second contest.

Feltwell's Peter Challis had been heading for a home victory in the Euro Saloon & Sports Cars until his Arrowpak Nissan Primera broke its drive to the road wheels.

This allowed Tony Soper to squeeze by both Andy Harris and Dave Cockell to grab a late victory.

An apprehensive Richard Mitcham finally clinched the Formula Jedi Championship title with a fighting third place in the second of the two races.

In the first he overcame a tardy start to snatch victory but it was his fight-back from another poor start in race two which clinched him the crown.

Daniel Denis confirmed his status of champion in the second of the Caterham R400 races with victory but was squeezed down to fourth place on the final lap of the first race, in which Grahame Tilley triumphed.

In the Caterham R300 races Ollie Taylor reached the chequered flag first on both occasions, but had to battle past Jonathan Walker and Peter Young in race two.
