JARVIS AIMING TO RETURN TO WINNING WAYS AT CROFT
Cambridgeshire race ace Oliver Jarvis is confident of a return to winning ways at Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire next weekend, 16th/17th July, when the Formula Renault UK Championship with Michelin resumes for its ninth and 10th rounds of the season.
The 21-year-old Burwell driver has been a revelation this year and having taken four victories and three second places so far, Oliver has managed to open up a very healthy 36 point lead in the highly prestigious, world-renowned category which has bred the likes of Grand Prix winner Kimi Raikkonen.
Competing with Dinnington-based Manor Motorsport, Oliver heads to Croft in a little over a week’s time aiming to make amends for a disappointing eighth round of the season at Oulton Park Island Circuit last month, where he was unfortunately involved in a collision early on in the race - spoiling his previously unbeaten run of four straight race victories.
The impact saw Oliver lose the nose cone off his car and even though a lengthy pitstop meant he rejoined over a lap down on the rest of the field, the series leader fought hard and drove superbly well to claim one point for 20th position and also two bonus points for setting the fastest lap of the race.
