With the summer break over, the second half of this season's Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship got under way at the Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire over the weekend around the 2.10-mile track, writes Tim Crisp.
Not only were the BTCC cars back in action, but a selection of the championship's support races also started their second half of the season, with local drivers in action.
In the BTCC, Basingstoke resident Nick Halstead in the Motor Parts Direct with Power Maxed Racing Vauxhall Astra had three races around the Croft Circuit, with his best result coming in the last of the three outings where Nick finished 14th overall and 3rd in class.
He is now 8th in the Independents Trophy class on 89 points.
