The demanding picturesque track of Glan-Y-Gors in North Wales, sited between Corwen and Betwys-Coed on the A5, played host to round 4 of the British S1 Championship this weekend, where the track drowned under a deluge in the (allegedly) drought ridden country!
Under immensely difficult conditions, where their Formula 1 'big brothers' were suffering from the same weather conditions at more or less the same moment in Montreal, some skilful driving displays were delivered for the bedraggled crowd.
Racing Steps Foundation driver Ben Barnicoat drove exceptionally well in the prestigious KF3 class, whilst his efforts in the final (see image above) clearly showed the effort he was putting into his performance. Towards the last few laps he was pushed hard George Russell, forcing Ben to rise to the challenge. "I knew I had to get everything perfect on the last lap to pull a tiny margin," he said afterwards, "so I could take the win... and that is exactly what I did!"
