Lee Martin took the TQ and overall win at this weekends BRCA 8th Rallycross national at Coventry. UPDATE - REPORT ONLINE HERE

Round two of the series got off to a bad start with rain spoiling the fun for some - but Sunday was pretty much all sunshine.


In the final it was really a battle between Lee Martin and Elliott Boots - these two were 'ON IT' all weekend. Lee made an early error and had a little roll which allowed Ellliott past. Elliott crashed at the end of the straight and Lee was back in front - a fair pass by Elliott saw him take up the lead once more as Lee's car just got a little out of shape coming into a corner. Fuel stops started to scatter the drivers a little but the battle between these two was still very much on until disaster struck Elliott - a few corners before he was due to come in and refuel his car flamed out and it was essentially over for him - but taking 4th overall after such a setback showed his pace.

Lee Martin took the overall win by over half a minute from Neil Cragg in second and Darren Bloomfield third.
