BriSCA F1 British Champion CRAIG Finnikin #55 To Finish 1st …. First You Have To Finish! Over the last few years Craig Finnikin #55 has started to reveal his true potential. Following in the footsteps of his Dad Bert and Granddad Charlie he’s starting to show the same true grit and determination needed to take a Major Championship Title in big league F1. It might be a while before he catches Bert’s tally of 509 wins, including a World Title in 1990. However Craig can tick off the National Points and British Titles Dad won back in 1983 and 1985, as last year Craig blitzed the opposition and secured the Silver Roof after winning the National Points Shoot-out Finale. Now in 2012, Craig’s shale form continued around Coventry Stadium and he’s added the British Championship and the Black and White Checks to his Silver Roof. Although some might say he was a little fortunate sliding through on the last bend of the last lap, you'd be forgiven for having a smile on your face as the shale master took the flag. Watching Craig’s celebration’s on track one might believe he was smiling too! Will Craig win the Euros this year like his Dad did in 1986?
