Sunday ’ s race started in marginal conditions as to whether slick or wet weather tyres were the right call . Smith opted for slicks but could not contain the charging Samuel Harrison , who started on wets in his Formula 3 Dallara . Harrison charged through to take the lead , making the most of the wet early laps . But as the race developed , Smith was able to up the pace in the Ralt and was hunting the leader down on the final lap and one more lap could have led to a very different result . Friends and teammates Clive Wood ( Chevron B29 ) and Martin Wood ( March 79B ) battled for third and just finished in that order .
Confirmed champion Andrew Smith was easily the class of the Classic Formula 3 field and won at a canter in both races . Leading the chase both days was Keith White in his Ralt RT1 but Smith was away and gone at a prodigious pace . Andy Newall rounded out his Guards Trophy title-winning season with another victory in his Chevron B6 . From a modest grid Newall was never troubled and won by a full lap over the B8 of David Forsbrey and the B6 of Nick Thompson and Sean McClurg . Ben Tusting brought the family Lenham P69 up into fourth in the closing stages , while John Davison was best of the GT cars and saw off the Lotus Elan Shapecraft of father and son Michael and Will Schryver .
Three races for Historic Formula Ford decided the championship and it was Cam Jackson who took a third title in his Winkelmann after three hard fought races . Tom McArthur made the recovery
