2001

Rob Sayell successfully defend his 2000 title despite drawing Row 4 on the grid. Sayell adding the second World Championship to the successful defence of the European title earlier in the year for back to back success in the formula's two biggest events. A third place and win in the two support races took him to what would now appear to be an unassailable lead in the National Points Championship lining him up for a repeat of last year's triple. "I wanted to achieve something my dad hadn't done and now it looks certain I have! It was a hard race and at one time I had my doubts but in the end it all came right - what's more I did it with a BMC engine probably one of the cheapest in the field" commented a delighted Sayell Junior. Neil Clarke had his highest ever result in the World event whilst non qualifier Gary Bonner achieved third place despite starting half a lap down from pole sitter Andrew Bilby. Bilby suffered oil pressure problems and retired whilst early leader Gary Granger who started on grid two finished fouth.
