Greensall grabs Gomm GTSCC gold as enduros wow at sunny Anglesey

Set against the majestic backdrop of Snowdon, with the azure Atlantic Ocean lapping its fringes over a stunning sunny 750 Motor Club weekend, endurance races for historic and modern cars contrasted with short sprints in showcasing Anglesey Circuit at its sublime best. Saturday’s 90-minute GT & Sports Car Cup race for pre-1966 machinery was characterised by Jaguar E-type charges by Nigel Greensall and Ben Mitchell that downed the venomous Cobras.

In its 20th season, the GT & Sports Car Cup’s Welsh debut was memorable. Strategic calls and good fortune found Chris ‘Lord Borneo’ Clarkson in David Smithies’ Daytona Cobra coupe a lap ahead of the Jags and the Shelby Cobra ‘Hairy Canary’ of Nick Sleep/Alex Montgomery after the race was stopped with Alice Locke’s ex-John Fitzpatrick Mini Broadspeed GTS fastback inverted on the grass at Peel having lost its left-rear wheel.
