Triple victory for Stirling

Oliver Stirling once again claimed victory at Snetterton this Bank Holiday weekend. He continued his unblemished record by qualifying on pole, winning the race and setting a new lap record. Stirling, in the Tiga SC80 fully rebuilt over the winter by John Danby Racing, is leading the Historic Championship. The next round is at Brands Hatch in October

'Double Win at Cadwell'

JDR and Tiga owner Barry Davison celebrated yet another victory at Cadwell Park this month.

Oliver Stirling made it 'two in a row' in his Historic JDR built Tiga, winning the second Historic Race of the year and securing his lead in the championship points.

Guest driver Patrick Sherrington also celebrate a great success by winning the Pinto Race in the Historic Tiga rebuilt by JDR.

This was the car's first race in the UK having been imported and rebuilt by JDR, and Patrick faced great competition racing against much more modern cars.
