MOTORSPORT: Dunley racer Elton Sheldon scored valuable championship points in the Volkswagen Racing Cup in the fifth and sixth rounds at Silverstone.

In his Beetle RSi, Sheldon claimed 26th in Saturday's race after being delayed by an early spin and then finished 15th the next day.

Sheldon now holds 16th place overall in the championship.

The Saturday round was won by Ray Macdowall, of Carlisle, ahead of Daventry's Ian Carvell who won on Sunday.
