Sami Bowler returned in the latest round of the 750 Motor Club Roadsports Series, where she faced her own challenges at Croft Circuit. There was a problem with Sami's suspension part-way through qualifying, which then forced her and her team to look for a replacement damper in the few hours between qualification and the race. Being unsuccessful in their pursuit, led them to making a temporary fix to the car and taking a gamble. Battling with the car and the field, Sami finished in 16th and 10th overall, and 8th and 5th in her class respectively. She now looks forward to the next round at Brands Hatch on 12th and 13th June.

Sidecar racers Team Founds got their season underway as they headed to Donington Park, having missed the first round at Brands Hatch. In a competitive field, Pete and Jev managed to qualify in fifth place where much of the grid were only separated by fractions of a second. A retirement in the first race due to a mechanical fault, forced the team to stay up to the early hours fixing the issue. Due to the DNF in the first race, the team were forced to begin the second race at the back of the grid in 28th position, but swiftly moved their way up the field to finish in a very creditable 6th position.
