2024 NANKANG TYRE BMW COMPACT CUP @ SNETTERTON - 20/21 JULY 2024 - RACE WEEKEND PREVIEW

This weekend at Snetterton marks an important stage of the 2024 Nankang Tyre BMW Compact Cup, as the championship reaches the crossover point into the second half of the season. So far this year we’ve had no less than four different race winners and nine drivers stand on the podium at least once, and with the points table finely balanced at the top, there’s big scope for the order to change by the end of the weekend.

Coming into this weekend’s triple header, Joe Doble leads the standings by just a single point on total scores, with three wins, a second place and four fastest laps to date prior to Snetterton. Taking up the mantle from 2022 champion turned BTCC star Mikey Doble, Joe has shown a great turn of pace this season and will be a contender for victory from the off. Just a point back is Connor Grady, who only needed eight races to take his first win in the championship last time out at Anglesey but had picked up four podiums before taking to the top step. It’s been an impressive start to life in Compact Cup to be in the hunt for the points lead after only three weekends.

Gordon Macmillan claimed a hat-trick at Croft and led the points going to Anglesey last time, but could only manage a sole third place from a tough visit to Wales. Having found his strongest form this season and marking himself out as an early contender this year for the title, Gordon will hope he’s on the pace from the outset. Currently in the top five are Mike Doble and Max Noble, the Doble family’s elder statesman chasing Macmillan for Masters honours whilst also looking to add to a strong collection of top five and podium finishes thus far. As for Noble, he’s quickly found some decent speed from Croft onwards after taking his first two podiums that weekend and is starting to bank strong points finishes in each race thus far.

There are some further back who are not as high up in the standings as they’d wish to be, top of the list being defending champion Gareth Claydon. The #1 has only finished in the top three in once race from eight so far in 2024 and going to Snetterton he has aims of climbing higher than his current seventh place in points. This weekend could be a good chance for a reset and a prologue to a stronger second half of the season. Another is Matt Flowers, who started the year with a DNF and since then hasn’t been able to lift himself from the bottom of the top ten. In fact, he’s scored five 10th place finishes to date this year, and will be praying Snetterton is a turning point in both his fortunes and his pace.

Watch out for Adam Wright, Alex Read and Peter Smith to name a handful more contenders for decent results this weekend. All three have had their initial flash points in 2024 with strong performances putting them in positions for top fives, podiums and even race wins. They could all be in line to take a step forward this weekend.

2024 NANKANG TYRE BMW COMPACT CUP @ ANGLESEY - 15/16 JUNE 2024 - RACE MEETING REPORT

Making their third appearance of the 2024 season, the Nankang Tyre BMW Compact Cup made its return to the wonderfully picturesque Anglesey Circuit in Wales, for a triple header of races alongside the coast of the Irish Sea. This would be a weekend in which three different drivers would take to the top step of the podium, further proving the competitiveness of this year’s field.

Qualifying saw a pole position time for Joe Doble that put him over half a second clear of the rest of the field, with former five time champion Steven Dailly alongside him for race one on the front row followed by Mike Doble, Connor Grady and Max Noble in the top five.

Dailly got the better start to head both of the Dobles and Grady on the opening lap, but Joe Doble made a challenge heading into Rocket and made the move stick to lead on the next lap. Both of them began edging away from the fight for third, but Joe Doble had the edge on Dailly to just keep him at arms length while leaving dad Mike to try and defend from Grady behind them for third.

Connor found a way past for third in the closing stages and left Mike Doble to settle for fourth place but stil as top Masters in the field. As for Joe Doble, he created a sizeable enough margin to be unchallenged in the final laps and took his third win of the season with Dailly three seconds back in P2, while the top five was completed by Adam Wright after a great battle with Max Noble.

Dailly ensured his start to race two not only gave him the lead, but allowed him to keep it while Mike Doble became an early rear gunner to Joe with the rest of the front runners lining up behind him in the opening laps. This allowed Joe to once again tail Dailly as they ran away out in front once more and had the race under their control, allowing Mike to continue holding station in third ahead of Grady and Macmillan.

Doble tried all he could to try and force a mistake or move for the lead but Dailly used all of his championship winning experience to hold firm and reeled off the laps to pick up his first Compact Cup win since his return to the grid. Doble still banked plenty of points with second place, while Mike Doble’s efforts allowed him to keep third and again win the Masters category with Grady and Macmillan in tow.

Partially jumbling up the top ten for race three placed Gareth Claydon and Richard Sutherland on the front row together with Sutherland winning the hole shot into the first corner, while Claydon had to capitulate to a fast starting Grady for second. It was only a few moments until Grady took the lead from Sutherland at the start of lap two and with his main rivals still battling up the order, he set out to maximise the chance to win his first Compact Cup race.

It wasn’t long before Dailly and Macmillan were on Sutherland’s tail, and an initially stern defence of the place eventually saw Dailly past heading onto the International loop followed by Macmillan through Church on the next lap. By this time, Grady’s lead was over two seconds but clear air for Dailly allowed him to steadily claw the time back over the next few laps. Eventually the top two were nose to tail for the final two laps, but Grady held firm to clinch that first win with Dailly settling for P2. Macmillan was an unchallenged third, while Sutherland completed an excellent effort to hold fourth ahead of Claydon.

2024 NANKANG TYRE BMW COMPACT CUP @ ANGLESEY - 15/16 JUNE 2024 - RACE WEEKEND PREVIEW

The Nankang Tyre BMW Compact Cup is already shaping up to be a mighty close contest at the head of the field after just two events. Now the championship moves forward to the next rounds at Anglesey in Wales where there’s just two points separating the top three at this early stage.

That top three consists of championship leader Gordon Macmillan, second placed Connor Grady and third placed Joe Doble. Gordon took the hat-trick of wins at Croft and appears to be in great form this season, meaning he’s quickly establishing himself as one of the championship contenders at this early stage. Anglesey could prove to be a happy hunting ground if he hits the ground running.

Grady goes to Wales in second place despite Connor yet to win his first BMW Compact Cup race. The former Fiesta Junior, Ginetta and Clio Cup racer has the speed to make it happen and Anglesey presents another great chance for him to reach the top step. Now that he’s piloting the ex-Guy Davis race winning Compact, it could merely be a matter of when rather than if that first win comes.

As for Joe Doble, he banked a solid haul of points from at Croft to supplement his pair of comfortable wins at the Oulton Park season opener, the first in his career too. Joe too has all the speed to be a regular winner amongst what’s turning out to be one of the most competitive field in recent years, and he’ll be continuing to push with additional support and advice from his BTCC racer brother and 2022 champion Mikey guiding him along.

Joe’s and Mikey’s father Mike Doble is fourth, also top Masters driver once again and always proving to be a threat for victory no matter the circuit. He’s a constant threat in the top five and picked up a third place from race three at Croft. Max Noble completes the top five, hungry to build on what was a breakout weekend in Yorkshire last time with two superb podium finishes. A first win is definitely on the cards if any of this weekend’s races end up playing out in his favour.

Adam Wright is another newcomer to the grid who has had a respectable start to life in the championship, remaining a top ten runner so far and hoping he can carry on inching his way forwards up the pack as the season continues. But then incredibly it’s eighth place in the standings where we find defending champion Gareth Claydon. It hasn’t been the smoothest of starts to his title defence, especially retiring from race two with steering damage just corners from the flag. Had he not retired, the anticipated second place finish could have put him right in the mix at the top of the standings, but he now has a 37 point deficit to make up and will be determined to make up that ground quickly.

There’s two more names to watch for this weekend on the grid too - Matt Flowers has similar goals to that of Claydon, after he retired from race one at Oulton and has been trying to climb back up the table ever since. Heading to Anglesey in 15th place and having to settle for top tens all through Croft, he will want to be up to speed again and near the front to start scoring well.

Then there’s five time champion Steven Dailly who made his full season comeback at Croft and immediately showed pace to remind everyone how quick he really is - even if he did have to do so in a spare car. With his main race car hopefully back to full speed, don’t be surprised to see this flying Scotsman near the top of the timing sheets once again.

Teams will be able to secure entries against a £700 deposit, with the 2024 entry fee for the event being set at £2,900 per car.

For those who have used the RaceHub before, but do not have current BRSCC membership, you can simply log in and renew your membership to the free of charge RoR Membership.

Once completed, and for anyone who already has a BRSCC racing membership, select Race Series from the menu on the left, pick Race of Remembrance and complete the registration form. Car owners, primary drivers and team managers should ideally place the entry to serve as a point of contact.

Now you’re registered, select Race Entries from the left-hand menu, then pick the Race of Remembrance event. You can place your entry by either paying the deposit of £700.00, or the full amount of £2,900.00.

As with RoR 2023 last year, we will be allocating only 2 cars per pit garage at the event. With 22 garages available, this means that the first 44 deposits paid will guarantee your team a pit garage at the event.

Those teams that enter later and aren’t allocated a garage will be allocated a space in the paddock directly behind the garages and will have access to the pit apron directly in front of the garages for pit stops. Some teams have chosen this option in the past and it has worked well for everyone involved.

Please note: If you wish to run more than 2 cars from a garage, as long as you don’t restrict teams based in the adjacent garage we have no issues with you doing so.

Croft's triple header of Compact Cup races certainly shuffled the top of the table around, with Gordon Macmillan's hat-trick helping to elevate him to the top of the points ahead of the next rounds at Anglesey next month.

Connor Grady's consistency, helped by his new car in Croft, puts him second after two weekend, with the Dobles Joe and Mike next in third and fourth after Joe's early success at Oulton Park in April. A breakthrough meeting for Max Noble also saw him score some of his best Compact Cup results to date, which in turn pushed him into the top five too.

Those looking to race at Anglesey next time out have until Wednesday 12th June 2024 at 5pm to book and confirm their spot on the grid. No further entries will be taken after this time.

2024 NANKANG TYRE BMW COMPACT CUP @ CROFT - MAY 4/5 2024 - RACE WEEKEND REPORT

The Nankang Tyre BMW Compact Cup was back in action this past weekend at the high speed Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire, off the back of a pair of opening races at Oulton Park weeks before that had seen a slight shake up in the status quo. Joe Doble had dominated both races to open his 2024 account in the best possible way, while newcomers and regulars alike had made great strides to be quick this season.

Croft would be their next test on the calendar, a circuit that would see the full time return of former five time champion Steven Dailly. He was back to contest the rest of the calendar and to add an extra challenge for the rest of the pack to go up against. In qualifying, pole went the way of Oulton winner Doble, setting fastest time ahead of defending champion Gareth Claydon followed by Connor Grady, Gordon Macmillan and Mike Doble in the top five.

Claydon led race one from pole with a fast starting Macmillan on his tail in second, leaving pole man Joe Doble behind the pair. Racing was neutralised early when Mark Grady’s car went spinning onto the infield grass at Sunny In, leaving him stranded and requiring removal. With five minutes remaining on the restart, Claydon tried to create a gap but found Macmillan and Doble on his tail, with Joe passing Gordon for second and setting sights on win number three. With two laps to go Claydon came under attack and as he defended from Doble into the Esses, he clipped the tyre stack forcing both himself and Joe wide and off the road.

As a result, Macmillan was the beneficiary, resisting late pressure from second placed Grady to take the flag first and secure his first ever Compact Cup win. Max Noble also took a fine third place while Claydon still managed fourth ahead of Mike Doble; Joe, meanwhile, ended up eighth at the flag.

Macmillan continued where he’d left off the next day in race two, leading straight off from pole and initially chased by Noble and Claydon. The battle for second saw the two drivers swap places, allowing Claydon to chase after the leader which he did so for the remainder of the race. However, while Macmillan remained effectively unchallenged from start to finish, Claydon wouldn’t see the flag as right front wheel damage forced him to pull off at The Complex two corners from the end. This left Macmillan clinched his second win in as many races.

Behind Gordon, Max Noble made an extraordinary save in the final minutes exiting Barcroft before repassing Grady after he lost the place at the time to clinch second ahead of Connor in third, with Peter Smith and Joe Doble completing the top five.

After the partial random grid draw to jumble up the front half of the field, Matt Flowers was shaken out as pole sitter for race three with Mike Doble alongside. The latter scored the better start to head the pack with Alex Read quickly working his way to P2 ahead of Smith, while many of the more established front runners were dicing hard over fourth place backwards.

Read managed to catch and pass Doble at mid-distance, but by this time the pursuing Smith, Dailly and Macmillan were now part of the lead group. Everyone in the top five effectively took a turn in the lead of the race in a fascinating and enthralling battle. After plenty of hard racing in the final five minutes, the leaders saw the chequered flag and after post-race penalties were applied, the final order ended up with Macmillan completing a hat-trick of victories followed by Read, Grady and Doble, with Adam Wright securing a top five finish too.
