In the GT12 class Gavin Maciver continued his run of good form by winning all three rounds, David Simpson was second, both drivers being on 32 laps and Chelle Snowden was third two laps down and just ahead of James Sutton.
Good performances from Bob Harley who was the top F2 driver with 29 laps closely followed by Nick Wallace, with Matt Popejoy in third place just one lap down.

Finals

In the Mardave final Mike Simpson starting from pole on the grid was in the lead from start to finish, Jordan Galbraith was setting the fastest lap times but could not quite catch up and take the lead and had to settle for second place followed by Joshua Galbraith in third place.

The club Chairman Rob Hambridge was on pole for the GT12 C Final, things did no go his way for a while but he eventually got his car going well and drove to a comfortable victory over Courtney Orme in second place and Jake Crawshaw in third.

The GT12 B Final was the closest race of the evening wit Matt Popejoy putting in an exceptional drive to be ahead of Dave Tomlinson and Nick Wallace at the start of the final lap. Disaster then struck allowing Dave Tomlinson to get past to win with Nick Wallace taking second place, Matt having to settle for third. A great race to watch this!

A racing incident early on in the GT12 A final forced the retirement of Bob Harley, Gavin Maciver maintained a fast pace to win the race on 30 laps with Chelle Snowden taking a fine second just over 7 seconds down, David Simpson was third on 28.
