The hectic day that is Abingdon CAR-nival started breezy and chilly, but warmed up mid-morning to be a hot and quick day. Car problems were rife though. William Hunt, James Hunt, Clive Wooster and Scott Hughes were just a few who had issues, some able to carry on, other not! So, here’s how Round 11 shook out for our BARC Speed Championship Competitors.
