McNeill capitalises on Oulton Park drama as Boston extends unbeaten Class B run

The Racing Hondas Championship served up another dramatic chapter at Oulton Park during Tunerfest North, where Fraser McNeill and Bob Barron shared the Class A victories before late mechanical drama turned the championship battle on its head. In Class B, Rob Boston continued his remarkable unbeaten run with another commanding double victory.

CLASS A — McNeill seizes opportunity after dramatic finale

Qualifying produced another closely fought battle at the front, with Fraser McNeill edging championship leader Bob Barron to pole position by just 0.172 seconds. Tommy Knight secured third, while guest driver Michael Barron impressed with fourth on the grid after a superb lap.

Race 1 delivered another classic contest between the leading Class A contenders. Although McNeill led the field away, Barron wasted little time taking the lead around the outside at Cascades before completing the move into Shell and controlling the race from the front.

Behind the leaders, Michael Barron produced an outstanding drive on his guest appearance, holding third place under immense pressure from Dave Buky, Tommy Knight and Ryan Jenkinson for much of the race. His podium hopes ended heartbreakingly with a last-lap excursion at Shell, promoting Buky onto the podium behind Barron and McNeill.

Race 2 produced the biggest twist of the season so far.

After the reverse-grid draw placed Ryan Jenkinson and James Alford on the front row, McNeill charged into second by Cascades before the championship battle exploded moments later. Bob Barron retired on the exit of Shell, bringing out the Safety Car, while Tommy Knight’s challenge also ended prematurely with mechanical problems.

At the restart, Jenkinson and McNeill broke clear before another retirement for Alford promoted Dave Buky into third. The decisive moment came on the final lap, where McNeill found a way past Jenkinson at Old Hall after slight contact between the pair, securing his second victory of the season. Jenkinson recovered brilliantly to hold onto second ahead of Buky.

👉 Key takeaway: McNeill took full advantage of a dramatic Race 2 to breathe fresh life into the Class A title fight.

CLASS B — Boston remains untouchable

While Class A delivered the drama, Rob Boston once again underlined his pace in Class B.

The S2000R driver secured another class pole before battling Lewis Barker throughout Race 1, the pair trading paint as they fought for the class victory. Luke Sedzikowski added another podium finish, while the absence of Phil Wright and Sammy Mileham left valuable opportunities for the chasing championship contenders.

Race 2 saw Boston and Barker once again work their way through the field from the back of the reversed grid, carving past the opposition to secure another Class B one-two finish. Behind them, Spencer Fortag produced one of his strongest performances of the season to secure a well-earned third place and his first podium champagne celebration.

Boston’s latest double victory means the guest driver remains unbeaten on track since joining the championship, while Barker continues to establish himself as one of the leading registered contenders in Class B.

👉 Key takeaway: Boston’s winning streak continues, but Barker is building an impressive run of consistent performances among the championship regulars.
