Voyce screams to Snetterton success

Snetterton, 17-18 August 2024

Colin Voyce continued his dominance of CTCRC Historic Thunder by taking a pair of victories as the club headed to Snetterton in Norfolk for its penultimate race weekend of 2024.

Below is a very abbreviated summary of who came out on top in East Anglia. Our usual, more detailed, reports will return for next month’s season finale at the super-fast Thruxton in Hampshire.

Edmundson Electrical Classic Thunder
& Poultec Classic Race Engines Historic Thunder

Josh Lawton’s supercharged Honda Civic recorded a clean sweep of pole position, two wins and two fastest laps, lifting him to within a point of the Classic Thunder championship lead

More silverware for Colin Voyce, whose Mountune-powered Mk1 Escort has now had five Historic Thunder wins this year, leaving him a shoo-in for the title

Burton Power Blue Oval Saloon Series

Back at the wheel of his 2021 title-winning Anglia, local man Martin Reynolds took his first win in BOSS since the corresponding event at Snetterton last year

Three-time champion Piers Grange pushed Reynolds back to second on Sunday with his Smith & Jones-powered Escort Mk2, his fifth win in BOSS this year

Everard Pre-’66 Touring Cars

Ian Thompson (Lotus Cortina) beat Mini men Barry Sime and Dan Lewis to victory in the race postponed from Cadwell Park, then passed Tim Abbott’s similar car to win the weekend’s second contest

It wasn’t just BOSS where Piers Grange was winning; the PRG Trailers man took his mighty Mustang to Pre-’66 glory on Sunday, overhauling the Cortinas of title challenger Thompson and Abbott

Pre-’83 Group 1 Touring Cars

Jonathan Corker scored a Pre-’83 double in his Datsun 510, repeating his 2023 Snetterton success

Points leader Stephen Primett was edged by just 0.126 seconds in race two, but looks to have done enough to secure a 12th title

Laser Tool Pre-’93 Touring Cars

Guest driver Oliver Owen claimed a maiden Pre-’93 win in his BMW M3 E36

Ian Bower retired his similar car from the opening race, but the two-time champion charged from the back to win the sequel

Burty Haulage Pre-’03 Touring Cars

Gary Prebble’s Honda Civic EG was in dominant form again, taking its ninth and tenth wins in 12 races this year

Class A leader Anton Martin (BMW 330ci) will take the championship to the wire at Thruxton next month
