Kent racers were in the thick of the Easter action in the British Rallycross Championship 5 Nations Trophy and its support races at Lydden Hill.

Adisham's Tristan Ovenden was among the drivers taking on last year's champion Patrick O'Donovan in the main event and although he was unable to stop the 18-year-old Peugeot racer from winning on Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday, the Citroen driver was sixth in the first race and fourth in race two.

The event saw electric-powered cars take on their internal combustion engine rivals for the first time in the UK, with Belgian star Viktor Vranckx and father-and-son team Steve and Jake Harris going green.

Vranckx saw some action at the front, too, finishing Saturday's race an impressive third in his RX2e machine before taking sixth spot on Monday.
