Organised by PSM Motorsport, 120 drivers in all sorts of exotic and powerful cars will be in action throughout the day and with both championships evenly poised, the scene is set for a great day of action on the UK's fastest track.

In the British Rallycross Championship, just three points separate reigning champion, London-based Irishman Ollie O'Donovan from closest challenger Steve Hill from Aylesbury as the seven-event series reaches its half-way point.

O'Donovan started the defence of his title by winning the first two rounds with his ex Will Gollop Peugeot 306, but Hill was able to close to within striking distance of the championship leader after guiding his Mitsubishi Lancer E9 to victory in round three where O'Donovan finished fifth.

With the now-retired Dermot Carnegie not in action, his absence effectively elevates Ulsterman Lawrence Gibson in his iconic MG Metro 6R4 whilst 21-year-old Liam Doran is proving the surprise package of 2008 and should be a front runner once again in his Ford RS200.

In the SuperModified category for two-wheel drive cars, Dave Bellerby from nearby Northallerton is the defending champion in his Lotus Exige and still in with a chance of securing a hat trick of titles. Bellerby currently lies eighth in class having scored points in only one round so far. One of his rivals in the SuperModified class is Jarrow motor sport engineer Michael Boak who also missed the first round of the 2008 championship. Second place in round two and seventh in round three put Boak's unique Audi TT into the championship frame ahead of his local event at Croft.

In the Stock Hatch category, teenage drivers Joe Cunningham from Leeming and York's Russell Simpson will hope that local knowledge will help them to get on level terms with championship class leader Julian Godfrey from Heathfield and current champion Tony Lynch from Wigan.

The Bill Gwynne Rally School Junior Rallycross Championship and Chris Birkbeck Rally School Junior Rallycross classes showcase the stars of the future as the best 14-16-year-old racers lay the foundations for racing and rallying careers. The Bill Gwynne series is led by Daniel O'Brien from Milton Keynes who is just eight points ahead of Brackley lass Jesse Gwynne. Conor Flynn from Belper heads the Chris Birkbeck Championship after a recent good run.

There is local interest in these classes as well as Matt Thompson from Ingleton seeks to improve on recent results and Harrogate-based Keifer Hudson and Kelly Bird from Stokesley also aim to impress at their local track.

After four rounds of the Rallycross Open Championship, defending champion, 'Mad' Mark Watson from nearby Barnard Castle has opened up a 16 point lead over Welshman Mike Manning (Ford Puma), following two consecutive victories. On home territory, the Citroen Xsara WRC driver will be hoping to emulate his English Masters victory earlier in the year, but with a strong eleven car Division 1 entry, the hotelier will have his work cut out.

David Binks from Gosforth has rebuilt the engine in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and could be a good bet to take his first Division 1 victory whereas Irishman Eddie Kinirons returns with his Ford Focus after clutch failure put him out of the event at Pembrey. Ferryhill driver Tony Bell has a rebuilt engine to try and get his season back on track in the stunning Toyota Corolla WRC after recent problems.

Welsh teenager Ben Power heads the Super National class in his Ford Ka from Hereford's Mike Turpin in his unique Vauxhall VX220 whereas Sunderland driver Hal Ridge leads the Division 1A class in his Peugeot. In the Procar 2000 category, Ashley Simpson from York has doubled his Championship lead to two points ahead of Londoner Stuart Emery (Peugeot 306) and Scotsman Kenny Hall leads the Procar 1600cc class ahead of another local driver, Martin Peters from Ingleby Barwick.
 
Andy Lee and Shelley Wakeling resume their battle in the Minicross Championship along with Ferryhill's David Bell and a full house of Revivals competitors return to action at Croft led by Dean Jones (Ford Escort Mk2), Brian Thornton (Metro) and John Heath (Rover Mini). Croft instructor John Pinkney hopes for a strong showing from his Triumph GT6, which has had recent work done to it and is the oldest car still in active competition. 

There is a mouth-watering prospect in store for the final race of the day which will be the Best of British Rallycross Showdown race. This will see the top five drivers from the Rallycross Open Championship Division 1 'A' Final go head to head with the top five drivers from the British Rallycross Championship Supercar 'A' Final.

The action gets underway at 9.30am with adult admission costing just £10 per person and accompanied children aged 15 and under admitted FREE.
