WILLIAM Allcroft, 13, from Middleton Cheney, was the winner of the Banbury Cake competition for VIP passes to the British Touring Car Championship meeting at Silverstone on Sunday.

The passes were provided by pharmaceutical company Apotex, sponsors of Adderbury racer Will Bratt, who competes in the Formula Renault UK series - part of the BTCC programme.

William, who had lunch with Will and other drivers, got a close-up view of the day's racing. William said: "It's been a fabulous day. Something I will remember for a long time."
