SNETTERTON

750MC

12-13 AUGUST

Debuted in 2009, the feline-profiled Eclipse SM1s designed by Cosworth engineer Clive Hudson and Paul Boyd are prolific 750 Motor Club Kit Car and Sport Specials winners. On Saturday, Hudson and Boyd charged their Ford-engined versions past poleman Paul Collingwood’s Honda-powered evolution for a marque podium lockout in the race of the day.

Multiple champion Andy Hiley split them, before a broken throttle pedal caused his Chronos to falter exiting Murrays on the penultimate lap. Boyd, directly behind, could not avoid clipping it, yet finished only 2.97 seconds behind Hudson. Spinner Collingwood was third.
