More Pictures taken from Arctic Sunday 6th April at Anglesey Race Circuit

CLUB FORMULA FORD GOES ARCTIC  

Sunday 6th April saw four seasons in one day at Anglesey for the opening rounds of the Club Formula Ford North West season and rounds 2 and 3 of the National campaign. Those who were at Mallory Park on Easter Monday - for round one of the National - had a little taster of winter with a slight dusting of snow as they were in the Assembly Area. For the rest, for once the Met Office got it right {they are probably still having a celebration party} and the forecast snow for Sunday at Anglesey materialised. The whole circuit looked very picturesque and Christmas Card like under a covering of snow, but It wasn't quite as pleasant actually being there though. After a delayed start, qualifying got under way and 17 year old Doug Crosbie took pole for the first Pre90 National Cup race and Dubliner Rob Barrable earned number one spot for the first National race. As the day went on, there were further odd flurries of snow and some warm sunshine and blue skies. There was even a bit of low sea mist blowing in. By mid afternoon, looking out to sea produced a wonderful vista of sea [somehow looking very blue and Mediterranean like] with snow tipped mountains beyond. In the better weather, the drivers were now producing lap record times. For the record, the Pre90 National Cup wins went to Nigel Thompson and David Bailey. In the National arena, the wins went to Rob Barrable and Graham Carroll. Full reports and photos will be online within the next 48 hours.   Club Formula Ford now moves on to Silverstone this weekend 12th/13th April for a Midlands South double header; then Oulton Park on Sat 19th April for a North West round and Brands Hatch on Sunday 27th April for a National one day double header.   Let's hope for better and warmer spring type weather. The racing however is guaranteed whatever the weather. It is Formula Ford 1600, so it will be good.
