Autosport (Brands Hatch GP, 22-May-2010)

"A brace of keenly contested Production BMW races produced the same top three each time, albeit in a different order. Liam Crilly slipped to third in race one but bounced back after a safety-car period to snatch victory from Nick Barke, with Mike Tovey and reigning champion Rob Smith in his wheeltracks.

Robin Welsh would have been third but for a drivethrough penalty (all four wheels off the circuit) and he launched a stinging attack from 15th on the grid in the second race to bag fourth place. The top three, this time with Barke from Crilly and Tovey, had gone beyond recall.

Autosport (Silverstone GP, 17-Apr-2010)

"No less than 48 E30s graced the grid for the Production BMW races. Tim Wilson won one, Robin Welsh the other, both in 320is, which had the advantage on the GP circuit. Liam Crilly worked wonders with his 318i to snatch third in race one." -- Autosport, 22-Apr-2010

Autosport (Oulton Park, 08-Aug-2009)

"A sixth Production BMW win of the season went the way of Rob Smith, confirming his title in the last of three races for the German tin-tops at Oulton. He had already won the first, while reigning Clio Cup winner Ben Winrow returned to his rear-wheel drive Caterham roots by winning race two. Smith fended off a race-long challenge from former champion Liam Crilly while Winrow struggled to match their pace in third, hampered by a late-race vibration that caused him to drop back." -- Autosport, 13-Aug-2009

Autosport (Cadwell Park, 28-Jun-2009)

"BMW experts Liam Crilly and Tony Smith shared the Production BMW Championship spoils at Cadwell Park last Saturday, each taking their first victories of the season.
A slow getaway from race-one polesitter Rob Smith allowed fast-starting Crilly to immediately snatch the lead. Despite Smith's best efforts, he was unable to find a way through and had to follow the former champion for the full nine laps. 'We worked hard for this', said the victor. 'It's the result we've been looking for.'
Determined to echo his race-one performance, Crilly made another good start in race two, this time tussling with a different Smith. Tony Smith succeeded where Rob had failed and got the better of his rival, forcing Crilly to play second fiddle.

Motorsport News (Cadwell Park, 28-Jun-2009)

"The Production BMW Championship fielded three races with reigning champion Liam Crilly bagging his first win of the season to take race one from a hard-trying Rob Smith. Tony Smith was another maiden winner as he claimed race two from Crilly whose pursuit was interrupted when he spun at the Gooseneck and bounced off the tyre wall. Undaunted, he recovered for second and set the fastest lap of the race." -- Motorsport News, 01-Jul-2009

Autosport (Snetterton, 20-Jul-2008)

"Battles raged throughout the capacity field during a frantic Production BMW race. Despite always having his mirrors full, Liam Crilly kept his nerve to clinch a well-deserved win. Dean Spurr headed the pursuing pack, while Robin Welsh beat Tony Smith to third by a whisker." -- Autosport, 24-Jul-2008

"Liam Crilly's defence of his lead was copy book as both Dean Spurr and Robin Welsh can testify while Tony Smith completed the lead quartet." -- Motorsport News, 23-Jul-2008

Autosport (Cadwell Park, 10/11-May-2008)

"The opening Production BMW battle, for Groups A&B, might have offered little in the way of overtaking, but there was a close four-way scrap for victory between Adrian Eddy, Stephen Markey, Dean Spurr and Liam Crilly. The quartet maintained station, but were never far apart.
In the subsequent race for Groupss B&C, poleman Spurr always had the advantage and third-place Crilly kept runner-up Rob Smith honest.

Autosport (Brands Hatch, 26-Apr-2008)

"A huge field of Production BMWs needed three races to encompass them, Dean Spurr outscoring Liam Crilly two-one on race wins. Spurr's victories both came at the expense of Robin Welsh, but it was Crilly's no-nonsense despatch of Mike Dugdale in Groups B/C that caught the eye.
Dugdale ousted longtime leader Crilly three laps from the flag, but Crilly reaserted himself next time round through the narrowest of gaps into Druids. 'I thought I'd closed the door,' said a bemused Dugdale.

Autosport (Castle Combe, 24-Mar-2008)

"Robin Welsh spent the entire Production BMW race within inches of Tony Smith's rear bumper, but the polewinner soaked up the pressure and edged to victory. The racing was just as close behind with Dean Spurr and Liam Crilly dicing for the final podium spot. Spurr took the place in a photo-finish as they squeezed through traffic." -- Autosport, 27-Mar-2008

Autosport - Club Classics 2006

"Liam Crilly wasn't always the fastest but he was the most consistent. Four wins and seven other podiums gave him the crown from George Haynes, who won twice. Martin Dower matched Crilly for wins but wasn't able to back up his victories with other strong results and was restricted to third in the championsihip. Despite problems, Alan Wileman managed to score a single victory as did John Thorne at the final round." -- Autosport, 04-Jan-2007
