​There was a record turnout of almost 80 riders for the final instalment of Banbury Star’s inaugural summer evening Criterium races on the kart track at Shenington.

The series wins were up for grabs right until the final lap in some races and the competition was as fast and furious as had been predicted.

In the lady’s events, the consistency of Alice O’Neil across the series was rewarded by a comfortable win. Two up and coming Banbury Star riders filled the next two spots, with Charlotte Porter-Spakes second and Bella Boyles third. Rebecca Babbage won the lady’s Elite category.
