Round one of the 2016 Schumacher BTCC took place at the fantastic Cotswold track. Over the Winter the club have done a great job giving the facility and update with fresh paint and TVs in the pits for live timing. Many drivers were using the unofficial warm up as testing for the national which will be held in two weeks’ time. In the Modified class, Olly Jefferies took fastest time in all four qualifying rounds and went on to take the win in the single leg A-final.
