Graham Crowhurst and his stripey M3 E46 - inspired by Jeff Koons’ BMW Art Car M3 GT2 raced by Andy Priaulx at Le Mans in 2010 - enjoyed a memorable Classic Sports Car Club Modern & Retro race weekend at Castle Combe, conquering technical issues to maintain his Ramair championship lead on Saturday and winning Sunday’s 3 Series 50th Anniversary celebration.
Sonorous E46s dominated the points races, Irishman Niall Bradley winning both. When head gasket failure stopped early leader Jason West, James Card led the first chase. Third overall, Crowhurst won class B, separated from rival Ollie Neaves by Oliver Faller.
