With 9 out of 20 rounds completed the MINI Challenge championship is wide open. Any one of 10 drivers could lift the overall crown.  Championship leader Martin Depper keeps racking up large scores, and the extra points for pole and fastest lap could play a crucial part in the final count. Jake Packun is the form driver at the moment, showing a new maturity and cool head under pressure, but Depper was ready to take advantage of any mistake at Croft as he shadowed Packun. Both must be mindful not to DNF as Jack Stanford is well placed to capitalise on any mistakes.

A great start by Arthur Forster in the first Mini Challenge race of the day at Croft, the former champion moving up into second place from row two as they entered Clervaux for the first time but it was Packun who lead, and a disappointing start for Scragg who found himself in seventh despite qualifying on the front row. Elsewhere on the opening lap, Kounnis was third with Stanford fourth and as they began lap two Packun started to pull away from Forster who had Kounnis right on his tail with Jack Stanford, Martin Depper and Andy Beever filling out the top six.

With four races on the programme, the visit to South Wales was critical for any aspiring champions. Arthur Forster and Jake Packun both made the podium on three occasions, with Forster taking two victories. While Packun and Martin Depper secured one apiece.

The Club class was even more open, with Joel Wroe-Johnson, Michelle Nixon, Keith Issatt and Graham Parsons all visiting the top step of the podium.

Depper led the first race from pole, with Forster and Packun in pursuit as Jack Stanford was left, “I got distracted and missed the lights,” explained the double Snetterton winner.
