DEFENDING champion Nick Williamson is having his work cut out in this season's Toyo Tyres Modified Production Saloon Car Championship.

The Southampton driver has won his last three races at Brands Hatch, Oulton Park and Snetterton but still trails Gareth Porter by four points in both Class C and overall standings.

Porter has only won once but he has been on the podium four times. And there's more stiff competition coming from Meil Philpotts (Class A) and Denis Bassom (Class D). Next round is at Lydden on Saturday.
