Johnathan Hoggard closed the gap on the British Racing Drivers' Club Formula 3 Championship leader after a thrilling round at Brands Hatch.He moved to within 40 points of Clement Novalak with a win and a second place from the three races over the weekend.Yet it could have been even better for the Weston Hills 18-year-old, who started the final race on pole, with Novalak third on the grid.Second place starter Kiern Jewiss made the better getaway and jumped Hoggard around the outside of Paddock Hill Bend, while Novalak was squeezed back into fourth place. Hoggard tucked right up behind Jewiss for the duration of the race, with the gap barely extending above four-tenths of a second throughout.On a couple of occasions, Hoggard feigned an overtaking move, notably at Clearways and on the approach to Hawthorns, where he almost had the Fortec Motorsport car alongside Jewiss, but the reigning British F4 champion held his nerve to win by just 0.292sec.Hoggard said on Sunday: “Really good … [Read more...] about Hoggard edges closer in BRDC F3 Championship race

‘IMuppets from Leeds on about the pressure’
It's the final week of the regular Championship season. Another dramatic weekend saw two clubs clinch promotion and plenty of talking points around the division. Here is what the promotion chasers are currently saying. Norwich City The form: WDDDD Last fixture: Norwich City 2 Blackburn Rovers 1 Next fixture: Aston Villa (a) The manager - Daniel Farke "It's a moment full of happiness and pride. This feeling is amazing. For me the Championship is the toughest league in the world. Each and every game is pretty close so to come out in the top two teams you deserve it.

Taken from BBC The fans Jonathan Parker: Love how the season hasn't even finished yet and we're already being linked with new players. Harrison Reed?! Not for me! Mark: In all the promotion fanfare, it’s dawned on me we … [Read more...] about ‘IMuppets from Leeds on about the pressure’
West Brom v Hull City prediction, opinion, team news, key battle and betting
The first half of a demanding Easter double-header sees Hull City travel to fourth-placed West Brom needing a victory at the Hawthorns if they are to retain any belief in a top-six finish. Philip Buckingham’s prediction: Expect goals as the Tigers hunt three points against a free-scoring host If Hull City miss out on the Championship play-offs, something that now feels highly probable, it will be down to a multitude of factors. The sluggish opening quarter of the season and a sketchy away record have done little to help strengthen claims on a top-six finish but nor have City’s results up against promotion rivals. In the 13 games against the eight clubs currently above the Tigers in the Championship table, Nigel Adkins’ side have found only two wins. Both were superb – away to Leeds and at home to West Brom – but too often it has been those meetings against the best teams where City were left frustrated in their attempts to make a statement. Losing to … [Read more...] about West Brom v Hull City prediction, opinion, team news, key battle and betting
