BRSCC TAKES C1 ENDURANCE AND SPRINTS TO OULTON PARK
The BRSCC 2025 Oulton Park Summer Race Day is set to bring a fresh wave of motorsport action to the iconic Island layout. With a mix of endurance racing, classic tin-top showdowns, and guest series adding variety to the grid, this one-day event promises a non-stop schedule of excitement, drama, and unpredictable moments.
Dominating the day’s track action will be the latest round of the Silverlake C1 Endurance Series, one of the best loved UK endurance series in club motorsport and ready to take to the track again after several weeks off. Many teams will have needed that time to recover after the intense long distance test that was the BRSCC 24 Hours just over a month ago on the Silverstone GP circuit, and it’s a rare opportunity for the series to race not just at Oulton Park, but on the Island layout too.
24 Hour winners Trojon Motorsport bring both of their team cars and look to add another win to their tally after victory in the centrepiece event. They will head to Oulton naturally as favourites, but there will be many other squads looking to get the better of them by the end of the day, such as their perennial rivals at Emax Motorsport, BPC Motorsport, series sponsors Silverlake, Red Sky Racing, CSC Racing and Routec Motorsport to name a few.
Making their third outing of the year on a combined grid, the Ricci Concept Classic VW Cup and Hickford Construction MG Metro Cup will be ready to put on another exciting display of retro tin-top racing over the course of the day with both respective contests looking just as fascinating as each other. In the VWs, some of the expected front runners will be Ken Lark’s powerful Corrado, Nick Sanderson’s SEAT Leon Supercopa back in action, Tony Absolom’s pocket rocket Mk2 Golf and Garage 23 boss Tim Evans in his Audi TT. All of them have a great chance at scoring a win.
As for the MG Metros, Jack Ashton is back after missing the previous round at Snetterton and after dominating in typical fashion at the Brands Hatch opener, he’s expected to be the name everyone will be chasing from start to finish. Hoping to keep him company and challenge for victory will be the likes of Mike Williams, Tim Shooter, Dick Trevett and Matthew Simpson among others.
Two guest series are set to provide further entertainment across the day at Oulton Park on the timetable. Making the trip across from the Emerald Isle, we’re delighted to host the latest rounds of the SEAT SuperCup Ireland at Oulton Park, one of the most competitive tin-top championship currently racing across the Irish Sea. Heading to Oulton this weekend, Max Turley leads the standings by 23 points from Victor Cullen, having taken three wins from the first four events.. Paul Parr, Barry English and defending champ Dave Maguire complete the top five, but amongst the entry this weekend, look out for one name very familiar to BRSCC circles – two time Formula Ford Festival winner and National Formula Ford champ Niall Murray, getting back behind the wheel to showcase his skills in a SEAT.
Also guesting on the Oulton timetable, we also welcome the Darlington & District Motor Club’s Northern Saloon & Sports Car Championship, a grid that is never short on quantity, quality and variety of cars featured. This is only their third outing of the season on track too, and fresh off the back of the previous rounds at Mallory Park which produced some fine action for all in attendance.
Expected front runners and challengers for victory are certainly going to be the rapid VW Beetle racer of Matty Cobb, Bill Addison’s Caterham, defending champion Stephen Reece in his Lotus Elise, Damien McKay’s Westfield and the Ford Sierra Sapphire 4×4 of Daniel and Stephen Kell. Enjoy the incredible mix of cars on this grid as they battle amongst each other both in class and overall.
