That’s right it’s that time of year again, next weekend we’ll make the trip to Norfolk for the season finale of the Peter Best Insurance challenge at Snetterton. Blaine, Dan and Ollie all had reasonable pace at Cadwell and are hoping to continue in the same vein at Snet…
In preparation for the race Team Neaves Racing have fitted rudders, anchors and compasses to their cars so that navigating around Snetterton will be that little bit easier. However, this will all be in vein if last year is anything to go by, as you may have guessed, it was a little too wet to race. 
In terms of the Championship only one member of the team is in contention for the serious positions, Blaine should secure third in group C. There is a mathematical possibility he could get second in C, but it would have to be a perfect pair of victories… which is unlikely. Of course Dan and Ollie will be competing for championship position, currently seventh and eighth respectively and with three points between them there’s all to play for.
Pre-Race News
Will it be an epic return for Simon Hutchinson in the Midget?? He won last time out at Snetterton, but can he do it again… Recently Simon took some time out to race in the Formula Penguin championship which takes place in the Falklands.
Usual suspects Barry Holmes and Rob Spencer return to their normal line up in group C. Rob is then lending his group B V8 to Terry Holmes, who enjoyed a good race with Blaine last time out.
Ewart Kitson is having trouble getting parts together and although entered may not make an appearance at Snetterton. We hope he makes it…
The Team Neaves brothers Dan and Ollie were in the wars with reliability problems at Cadwell but showed good pace, can they improve further and challenge Simon?
Rob Beasley has fixed his ‘Yellow Peril’ Midget and makes his return.
The VHPD Metro of Paul Rigg is on the entry list again, it has been threatening all year but will we actually see it this time? Fresh from his first race victory at Cadwell we expect Paul to be quick.
Dan Ludlow won’t be at Snet as he has got himself a drive with a Honda works team in Britcar, we wish him every success on his debut for the team. Of course this means that Simon Cripps will take the Group C title, but can he go on to take the overall title as well?
Team Neaves would like to formally welcome James Darby as an honorary member in the 4hr relay race, he’ll pilot Blaine’s number 7 machine. It will be interesting to see the times after the race! Also it will be interesting to get some neutral feedback on the K Series conversion…
There you have it, there’s a lot to look forward to at Snetterton, and we hope to see you all there – or at least in a pub close to the circuit.
Team Neaves

Nice to see a girl racer on track – I hope she doesn’t beat me though!
Thanks Dan – Best of luck in Britcar
Not sure Steve Carr was sorting entry out as Ewart is not out as borrowing a metro for metro cup race so should be space.
The car will be for rent next year in mgcc so seemed good idea to showcase it.
Rain should hold off hopefully should be a good weekend
