Double for Paterson but Bamber's Title at final CNC Heads Round 2023
At Oulton Park on the 14th October the 40th Anniversary title was lifted by Ian Bamber in his Class E Ginetta G20, Roddie Paterson was runner up overall in his Caterham C400. The two races were both halted early due mainly to the bad weather.
Ian Bamber Crowned CNC Heads Champion 2023
At Oulton Park last Saturday Ian Bamber was crowned our 40th Anniversary Champion. He started the day as one of two drivers who could win the title, the other being Roddie Paterson in his Caterham C400. Although Roddie won his class in both rain affected races, Ian in his Ginetta G20 won his class in the first race and knowing that second would suffice took that position in the second race to be level on points with Roddie. The title was decided on number of class wins, Ian took the title with 10 wins to Roddie's 9.

At this our 40th Anniversary Race Meeting the CNC Heads Sports/Saloon Car Championship will come to a conclusion. The title will be fought out between Ian Bamber's Ginetta G20 and the Caterham C400 of Roddie Paterson.
