Bob Barron strengthened his grip on Class A with a hard-fought double victory at Snetterton, but the championship leader was made to work for both wins as Dave Buky and Fraser McNeill kept the pressure firmly on throughout Rounds 11 & 12.
In Class B, Lewis Barker produced a standout weekend of his own, taking pole position before converting his pace into two commanding victories and the fastest lap in both races.
CLASS A — Barron holds firm under pressure
Barron set the early benchmark in qualifying, producing a 2:04.350 to secure pole position by 0.867 seconds from Buky. McNeill completed the top three, while returning former Class B champion Philip Wright impressed with fourth on his return to Class A machinery.
Race 1 immediately came alive as McNeill made a flying start and challenged the front row into the opening corners, but Barron held firm to retain the lead.
As the race developed, Buky found another gear. After passing McNeill, he began closing rapidly on Barron and set the fastest lap of the race on lap six as the gap at the front disappeared.
It all came down to the run out of Murrays on the final lap. Buky tucked into the tow and made one final charge for the line, but Barron held on by just 0.142 seconds, with McNeill completing the podium only three seconds behind.
Race 2 brought another opportunity for the chasing pack after the reverse-grid draw placed Danny Weston on pole alongside McNeill.
McNeill grabbed the early advantage before a stranded James Alford brought out the Safety Car. At the restart, Barron worked his way past Buky before making the decisive move on McNeill to take the lead.
Once again there was little room for error. Barron took the flag just 0.856 seconds ahead of McNeill, with Buky only another 0.165 seconds behind in third — meaning the leading trio were covered by just over a second at the finish. Buky again underlined his pace by setting the fastest Class A lap.
Wright endured more frustration on his return, with electrical problems compromising both races despite showing front-running pace.
👉 Key takeaway: Barron completed another double, but Buky and McNeill ensured there was nothing comfortable about it.
CLASS B — Barker delivers a Snetterton masterclass
Lewis Barker was the benchmark in Class B from qualifying onwards.
The Europa Racing driver claimed class pole with a 2:10.587, more than six tenths clear of Sammy Mileham, with Luke Sedzikowski and Spencer Fortag completing the leading four.
Barker carried that advantage straight into Race 1 and controlled proceedings to secure the Class B victory ahead of Mileham.
Behind them, Fortag and Sedzikowski produced a superb fight for the final podium position. The pair were separated by virtually nothing as they raced towards the chequered flag, with Fortag winning the drag to the line by just 0.140 secondsto take third.
Race 2 proved equally impressive from Barker.
Starting further back on the reversed grid, he quickly worked his way into contention and once again established himself at the head of Class B.
Mileham initially finished second on the road, but a post-race two-place penalty for a Safety Car infringement dropped him to fourth in the amended classification. That promoted Sedzikowski to second and Fortag to third, continuing the latter’s impressive run of podium finishes.
Thomas Mitchell also threatened the podium late in the race, briefly getting ahead of Fortag before an off-track moment dropped him back down the order.
Barker, however, remained untouchable, completing a perfect weekend of pole position, two Class B victories and two fastest laps.
👉 Key takeaway: Barker was the class of the Class B field at Snetterton, delivering his strongest weekend of the season.
