After a fairly moist outing at Silverstone, rain - not Pete Sparrow, was looking like becoming the dominant force in 2CV racing in 2008! The forecast was pretty bleak as the cars rolled in to Pembrey Circuit on the South coast of Wales.

However, Pete Sparrow set the pace in qualifying with a gap of nearly a second to Matt Riley, with Mark Turner and Christian Callandar/Gary Byatt not far behind.

As the 2CVs lined up for race 2, the weather had brightened up a little and the sun was shining down on a previously rain-soaked Silverstone. The track was more-or-less dry, but a bit slippery off the racing line, so some care was still needed.

As the red lights were extinguished and the race began, Pete Sparrow once again moved ahead of the pack and converted his second pole position of the day into the lead of the race. Phil Myatt and Mark Turner were contesting 2nd place, with Turner looking like he had the edge. The cars were 2 abreast around Luffield for nearly all of the pack, looking for all the world like a NASCAR rolling start.

The track was greasy, but no rain was falling at Silverstone as the cars lined up for race 1. As the cars got away from the line, Sammie Fritchley got an excellent start, but it was Pete Sparrow who held his lead around Copse corner, followed by the chasing pack. As the cars approached Becketts for the first time, the 84 car of Mark Turner settled into 2nd place, followed by Phil Myatt, Sammie Fritchley, then Richard Hollis, who had also charged up from 11th on the grid.
