Latest from the Woodford Trailers British Sprint Championship - Broughton Ends Faulkner�s Run with Outright Snetterton Record: Steve Broughton produced a stunning performance at Snetterton to end Ethan Faulkner’s remarkable 15-event winning run in the Woodford Trailers HSA British Sprint Championship. The reigning champion not only claimed Fastest Time of Day in run-off 25, but set a new circuit record for the Snetterton 100 1¾ lap layout with a remarkable 73.78 seconds.

The day was far from straightforward. Overnight rain and drizzle following practice left the circuit damp early on, although conditions steadily improved as the meeting progressed. A large entry, slow turnaround and several timing problems caused delays and re-runs, adding to the challenge of a long day for competitors and officials. A 24-hour 2CV race event was also taking place on the Snetterton 200 circuit, while the sprint competitors used the 100 circuit for their 1.75-lap runs.

There was plenty happening before competition began. Broughton arrived with a damper adjustment to his DJ Firehawk, while Faulkner’s journey from Northern Ireland became an adventure after his team accidentally booked the overnight ferry for the wrong day. They eventually drove through the night via another port to make the meeting.

Stephen Miles had an equally difficult start when his overalls failed scrutineering, forcing Steven Brown to lend him a spare pair. Graham Blackwell faced a similar problem with his balaclava. Meanwhile, Grahame Harden was delighted with the speed of Force’s replacement parts, following his damage at Kirkistown. Simon Wallis was less fortunate, withdrawing after suspension and wishbone damage was deemed unsafe, but was hoping to return for Sunday.

Qualifying produced further drama. Miles spun at Oggies, putting all four wheels off and preventing him from qualifying for run-off 25. Broughton, meanwhile, fitted brand-new Pirelli Ultrasoft tyres and made them count. Faulkner had a lucky escape when his car shut down on circuit, but a timing system failure gave him a re-run. Broughton then delivered the decisive performance, beating Faulkner by 1.30 seconds and taking the new record.

Peter Goulding responded strongly, setting a personal best in third, despite admitting that he had been cautious after hearing about Miles’ spin. Steven Brown and Harden completed the top five, while the shared Mygale of Cathy Sewart and Mike Taylor continued to improve as the day progressed.

Run-off 26 brought another twist. Broughton went four wheels off after carrying around 120mph into Hamilton, while Goulding’s engine was smoking badly, although the cause could not be identified. Faulkner took advantage to reverse the result, winning in 75.92 seconds. Goulding finished second and Brown third, with Harden fourth — his best-ever run-off result and a new personal record. Blackwell was enjoying the day and came a pleasing 5th.

Miles returned to the action in sixth, ahead of Victor Porrett. Faulkner’s victory restored his championship lead, but Broughton’s record-setting performance had demonstrated that the current champion still has the pace.

With Faulkner now leading the championship by 12 points from John Loudon, and Miles a further 59 points behind, the ‘best of the rest’ battle remains finely balanced behind the inevitable Northern Irish season victory for Team Faulkner. Broughton’s Snetterton record, however, provided one of the standout performances of the season.

Latest from the Woodford Trailers British Sprint Championship - Faulkner Closes the Gap: Marian Petre reports:

As usual, the Sunday sprint at Kirkistown had a late start at 12:30pm, allowing time for lie-ins for those who wanted them and for repairs and preparation for others. With a vastly reduced field, the runs were to come thick and fast, barely allowing any cooling down time between runs.

The sense of happy racing and constructive learning carried on into Sunday’s first qualifying. Despite having a bit of bother getting into second gear, Pete Goulding led the qualifier. John Loudon tried different gear changes for another strong run. Steve Brown had an uneventful run after installing new brake pads (again). Ethan Faulkner called “all good” after installing another new chain earlier in the morning. Graham Blackwell had added more downforce and reinstalled the boost hose that had come off, and “got his boost back”, but was holding back to preserve his tyres. Graham Porrett had a “happy run”, 10mph quicker, having had his ECU rewritten and updated by the guru.

T2 was a competitive run. Ethan Faulkner had a smooth run to take the lead. Pete Goulding again had a fast round, despite still arguing with his second gear and his tyres slipping, speculating that his air pressure might be low. John Loudon’s run was delayed when his car wouldn’t start, necessitating him getting out of his seat and removing the engine cover off before it finally fired. In his frustration, he pulled too many gears in the wrong places, costing him time once on track. Graham Blackwell’s boost fix transformed his car, yielding his fastest run so far. Steve Miles ran too hot into the hairpin and caught the grass, making it “a run to forget”. Grahame Harden nicked a cone at the chicane, but managed to carry on for a quick time. Graham Porrett had more brake issues, with no braking going down to the bottom corner and was determined to change his tactics. Steve Brown’s only comment was a growl.

Top 12 Run-off: Kirkistown Round 23

1. Ethan Faulkner (1.6 Force TA) 108.41 (+0.00)

2. Peter Goulding (1.6t Mygale FF 200) 112.08 (+3.67)

3. John Loudon (1.0 Force TA) 112.23 (+3.82)

4. Graham Blackwell (1.6t Mygale FF 200) 114.84 (+6.43)

5. Stephen Miles (2.0 Van Diemen RF96mm) 115.56 (+7.15)

6. Grahame Harden (1.4 Force TA-SL) 115.98 (+7.57)

7. Graham Porrett (1.6t Mygale FF 200) 121.13 (+12.72)

Q2 saw a few drivers taking it easy, with Graham Blackwell describing his run as “driving Miss Daisy”. Another impressive time came from Pete Goulding however, who had turned up the air pressure to improve the gear changes and ran on his old tyres which were “far grippier”. Graham Porrett had his best run yet, although his brakes were “horrendous” and he had to compensate with more engine braking. Steve Brown commented that his new tyres were lovely, but that his brakes were “crap” and already wearing heavily.

T4 saw another FTD from the quiet man, Ethan Faulkner, even as Kenny was whooping, and Pete Goulding was spraying the whole Faulkner team with water. Two run-off wins for the day saw Ethan closing the gap on temporary Championship leader John Loudon to just two points. Pete Goulding switched back to his new tyres and felt that it had been his best run — although it was actually slower than his Q2 time. Steve Brown came in fast, but his brake pads will be getting serious attention before the next event. John Loudon was disappointed, having lost fractions of a second when he shifted down one too many gears at Fisherman’s, despite having the most consistent performance (112+) across all the qualifiers and run-offs. Steve Miles had “a good finish on a good note” despite a fuel pressure warning. Graham Blackwell had his best run of the weekend, with “no drama”. Grahame Harden thoroughly enjoyed his run, declaring “This is what I’m here for!”
