  • THE FINAL ACT

    York’s final round to decide several thrilling battles. It is always with slight heaviness of heart that we talk about the final round; even though there’s still a lot of racing to be done post-BAS, it’s always a shame that the Series has to draw to a close. But this year has been especially good.We…


  • AND THE WINNER IS…

    The Series is soon to conclude, and so we celebrate. With most classes finely poised ready for the final round, the time has come to look further ahead to November and our annual Presentation Dinner & Dance where we’ll celebrate an excellent year for the Series and officially crown our champions.The event will be held…


  • UPS AND DOWNS

    Spectacular action at a bumpy fourth round. Look back to round four in 2013 and the Withington venue felt empty; spectatorland was sparse and the weather dull and cold. Fast forward two years and we can look back on what was an unexpectedly glorious weekend, with one of the biggest BAS entries since the UKAC…


  • BACK TO THE VALLEY

    Round four goes to the fast, favourite Withington venue. Before the Nationals, Severn Valley’s Withington venue had not been used since round four of the BAS in 2013, and their successful running of the event just over a week ago puts us in line for another potentially strong BAS round.One of those venues that tops…


  • EVESHAM EXCELLENCE

    One of Grassing’s greats prove their mettle with a super event. It may have been rather dusty; there may have been too many red flags throughout the weekend, and it may have rained torrentially on day two, but round three of the Series should be remembered as a great event.The Evesham Autograss Club, like the…


  • KEEPING ON COURSE

    An excellent MAP Open signifies a potentially brilliant BAS round. Part of the unrest and ill feeling between rounds one and two last year was because of the cancellation of the MAP Open and the long wait endured by drivers eager for competition, but denied it by the persistent bad weather.Fast forward a year and…


  • SECOND CHANCES

    Last year’s event was spoiled; this year we’ll be treated to a cracker. As one of the sport’s most experienced clubs, blessed with one of the fastest – if not the fastest – tracks in the country situated in a particularly beautiful part of Wales, it remains an incredible shame that we look back on their fourth…


  • BEATING THE BEST

    Huge, high quality entry is topped by Thomas. It was clear from his many good performances last year that it probably wouldn’t be long before Dan Thomas took an overall win; but it’s even more impressive that he looked so in control against such a sizeable, high quality field. At 78 cars, it was the…


  • PIPE DREAM

    Joe Pipe challenges the champ. The upside to being top qualifier is that you get first pick of the grid positions for the final, and Tim Harber made this work to his advantage despite choosing grid one, which is sometimes a little risky.Being the innermost lane, it’s easy to overshoot the bend and run wide…


  • DOUBLE DUELLING

    Head to heads are the feature of both finals. There were eight different drivers who took heat wins here, and ten in junior specials, which emphasises the hugely competitive nature of them both, and as always driving standards were excellent.With quite a few names either starting out in the classes; joining the BAS for the…
