Having just turned 16 years old, Reading’s Connor Tagg made Thundersport GB history this weekend as he took eight wins from eight attempts at the all new Snetterton 300 circuit.

In the Aprilia RRV450 Challenge, Connor entered the round 24 points behind James Folkard in second and 36 points behind series leader Jake Dixon, but no matter what conditions were thrown at him on Saturday and Sunday, he stormed through to take four classy wins.

In race one he saw off Dixon and Sam Cox and after Canessa and Dixon fell whilst fighting for the lead in race two, who was there to pick up the spoils? Yes you guessed it, Connor.

On Sunday, with the weather not making up its mind, Folkard huffed and puffed but couldn’t blow the house down in both races as he finished in second position. Dixon meanwhile could only manage third in the outings, which demoted him down to third overall in the standings, with Tagg amazingly claiming the lead of the championship ahead of Folkard.

In the Alto Digital GP2 Championship, a series that Connor already had a firm grip on, he added the other four race wins after brushing off the attempts of Liam Shellcock, Josh Daley, Adam Palfreman and Curtis Rothwell.

Ian Popplewell also grabbed a podium in GP2, whilst maintaining his stance in the Minitwins championship. He shared the Minitwin wins with Curtis Rothwell and there were rostrum finishes for Nathan Hutchinson and Sam Nicholson.

In the GP3 class, despite Aaron Hay extending his lead in races one and two with wins, he failed to finish on Sunday, meaning James Robinson picked up the winners trophies and pulled back some points over Aaron overall in the championship.

Adam Shelton from Hull was similarly impressive in the Bridgestone Thundersport 500 class over the four races this weekend. He won every race by a country mile to move up into fourth overall in the standings but could only pull 20 points on series leader Andy Lawson.

The Scot would admit that Shelton was unstoppable at Snetterton but with four second positions, he limited the damage that Adam could inflict and would have welcomed the two third positions collected by Richard Blunt on Saturday too, as it gave Sunday’s podium visitors Colin McCabe and Darryl Harrison, a real headache in the chase for the title.

Richard McNeill won two wet races and took a third in the dry to close to within three points of Ben Field in the MAL Formula 600 class in Norfolk. Field was strong in the second race on a drying circuit to collect an important win and hold onto his overall lead but knows it’s going to be a close fight to the end after his Northern Irish rival was too smooth to be caught when the circuit got wet.

Chris Mort and Craig Sproston were never far behind in the running and with a long way still to go in this fascinating series, they , along with Adam Oliver, will be only to happy to pick up the pieces if the two in front were to buckle under the pressure.

Another championship that has seen a lead cut is the Aprilia Superteens after an action packed four races saw 13-year-old Newcomer Joe Francis pile up the pressure on leader Tom Oliver.

Francis won three of the four races at Snetterton whilst Tom could only manage a second place finish and two fifth’s after the pair went down in race three along with Ross Twyman when battling for the lead.

The wins mean that Francis is only 40 points behind the 16 year old from Colchester as we head to Pembrey next.

13-year-old Harry Coomber had his best weekend with a race win and two other podium visits and David Allingham joined in the celebrations with Max Symonds on the rostrum too, the pair enjoying their career best results in the Superteen Challenge.

Whilst Phil Crowe still holds a comfortable advantage at the top of the Morello Services GP1 table, things didn’t go all his own way at Snetterton this weekend as an old foe came back to haunt him in races two and three.

After crashing out of race one in a good position, 2009 Champion Peter Baker roared his Suzuki home to its first Thundersport GB victory of 2011 in race two and then wasted no time in collecting the second win in race three under the dark clouds of Norfolk.

It really was a weekend for the experienced too as long time club rider Greg Lewis took his first GP1 win on Saturday ahead of the returning Ian Mackman and KRR rider Alex Heaton on their Superstock machines.

Behind Baker on Sunday, Crowe muscled past some strong opposition to finish second ahead of Byron Beckett in race two and Michael Robertson in the final contest, to keep a firm grip on the title that he won last season.

For the Superstock 1000’s, Ian Mackman extended his championship lead with a win in the first after missing the last GP1 round at Cadwell, but if he thought it was going to be an easy run in from there on in, he was mistaken.

Local rider Byron Beckett had a super ride to beat Mackman and Robertson in race two, and Robertson took a win of his own in race three, with Mackman finishing second again and Heaton adding a third place trophy to his collection after finishing second on Saturday.

For the Supertwins, well after a disastrous round for Scot Adam and Les Liney, double Supertwins Champion Lee Reveley did the treble at Snett to extend what was a less than healthy lead in the standings. Charlie Flett rode his Ducati to two second’s on Sunday also, as he closes in on Liney in third.

In the LMB Streetfighters, Andy Denyer kicked off the weekend with a win on his Brut powered Triumph on Saturday but hit disaster in race two after tangling with Chris Dixon, only to find that his machines engine had decided to give up on him and end his weekend prematurely. This left series leader Keith Smith to pick up the next two wins, with Dave Milling taking the winners trophy in the final encounter on what was a very wet race.

Sean Goldsmith and Chris Dixon found the podium in the ‘A’ category and on his return to the Thundersport GB paddock, Lee Hardy raced home to take a couple of thirds and a second place finish.

After quite a nasty fall at Mallory Park, defending ‘B’ Champion Barry Utting returned to the series this weekend and with Mick Riddle away on duty, he quickly piled up the victories in normal style by taking four wins to extend his lead overall.

Rob Norman’s four trophies sees him move up to second ahead of Barry Rudge, whilst Nigel Davis also made an appearance in the ‘B’ class again, lifting himself into the top ten overall with four solid podium finishes.

In the ‘C’ class, with no points up for grabs on Saturday, Brad Davey won both races from Keith Warren and Gary Paul. But with double points on offer for Sunday, powered by Curry, Duncan MacMillan arrived to win race three ahead of Davey and Warren.

After grass tracking in the final race though, MacMillan was forced to give the winners trophy up, with Brad Davey taking it away and Keith Warren again finishing third.

Isle of Man rider Rory Parker claimed his first Thundersport GB victory on Saturday, after seeing off the challenge of series leader Nick Anderson in the BSN.com Superstock 600 class.

On Sunday, in adverse conditions, former Superteen star Tommy Mountain showed off his wet weather skills to take the double win and move up to third overall in the standings. The Cool Cow sponsored rider won both races by miles as Tom Meehan recovered from a Friday practice crash to finish second in race two ahead of Shaun Brown.

In race three, championship leader Nick Anderson claimed the runners-up trophy ahead of Rory Parker to maintain his series lead, although he wouldn’t want to see Mountain claiming too many more wins from now until the end of the season.

Second placed Paul Wishart finished the weekend with two fourths and a fifth to keep his championship tally ticking over, but he too will need to find some more speed at Pembrey, if he’s to keep Mountain away.
