Scott Edgar and, in bizarre circumstances, Christopher Keir – both notably in older 182 models – took the wins in the new-look Renault Clio Sport Championship as the 750 Motor Club’s 2022 season got under way amid intermittent hail at Croft.
Former karting ace Owain Rosser, in a newer 197, qualified on pole for the opening Clio encounter – his car racing debut – but a loss of power off the start meant he ended the opening lap in 16th. In contrast, Edgar made a rocket launch to go from seventh into the lead at the opening bend, Clervaux, but then came nine very hard laps to stay ahead of those behind.
