Graham Johnson, our Caterham Roadsport driver, started the first round of the season 11th on the grid at Croft, North Yorkshire, on 27 April 2008.

Having not driven at Croft before, Johnson said, “It was a frustrating weekend because of a gearbox problem although I was pleased with my performance.”

Unable to find a gear at the start of race one, Johnson lost four places but, he fought back to finish 10th. Following a gearbox change, Johnson started the second race on the 10th row of the grid. Happier with the car’s setup, the 33-year-old managing director of publishing at UKIP Media & Events, which organizes PMW Expo, crossed the line in sixth place.
