GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • SUE DARBYSHIRE hustled her Morgan Super Aero hard in Monday’s VSCC Seaman Trophy finale, pressuring Alex Read’s Bugatti Type 51 to finish fifth overall in treacherously slippery conditions at Oulton Park.
  • CHARLIE MARTIN demonstrated versatility with seventh-place finish in Bugatti T37/35C during Saturday’s Seaman race, then impressed by winning Monday’s One-Litre F3 feature from the back after taking over Rudi Friedrichs’ championship-winning Brabham T53 mid-weekend.
  • MARTIN’s F3 victory came in dramatic fashion when leader Callum Grant’s gear selector failed, allowing her to storm through in Paul Waine’s ex-Tony Re De Sanctis after multiple competitors crashed on oil.
