Rounds 5 and 6 saw the 2012 ECAS 2CV Racing championship head to the Leicestershire circuit Mallory Park, where a whole day of club racing was televised on satellite TV channel Motors TV. Each race was a 10 minute sprint, and as usual provided plenty of entertainment for the fans at the circuit, as well as those watching from home.

The surprise winner of race 1 was Pete Sparrow, returning to racing after a few years away, and driving the #97 Fine Print car. This was Fine Print's first win for 9 years!

Everyone who started race 1 finished it, which unfortunately can't be said of race 2, which was a bit of a crash-fest. The major accident was trigged by a coming together of Christer Hallgren in the #44 car and Richard Hollis in #71. Hollis was turned around, and both cars headed off to the outside of the Esses, where Lien Davies, lifting off the throttle to avoid wreckage, spun into the side of Hollis. Davies was then himself hit in the door by Katy Storey. Hollis and Storey retired pretty much on the spot, but Davies was able to continue, finishing 15th. Meanwhile up at the front, a great battle between Simon Clarke, Alec Graham and Nick Paton raged all race, before being settled in that order - a delighted Clarke taking the win.
