Exciting competition throughout the eighteen car field provided great entertainment
for the crowd at Knockhill on 12th August. Robert Marshall and Shonny Paterson put up a strong challenge – however,
regular victor, Andy Smith, triumphed on both occasions. Paterson had fastest lap in both races – both he and Marshall must
think that they could have a race win in the near future.
The Class B battle between Kieron Baillie and Tim Reid resumed, joined by Bruce Weir’s Lotus Sunbeam.
Two seconds separated these drivers at the end of race two.
Class A had two first time winners in 2012, in race one Ian Blacklin (Ford Fiesta) and George Leitch, also in a Fiesta, in race two.
Regular Class A leader, Nic Boyes, finished further back, hindered by clutch problems.
The return of Fiesta61, mentioned earlier in this thread, was hampered by electrical gremlins.
Marshall and Smith jointly lead the championship, with Boyes third.
A full grid of thirty-two cars is expected at Knockhill on 25th and 26th August when Scottish Classics support the BTCC.
