Finals
In the V12 mardave final Paul Galbraith was the winner after chasing Mike Simpson for the first 19 laps, Mike finished second with Joshua Galbraith and Glyn Butlin third and fourth – Joshua also set the fastest lap – good stuff!
GT12 C Final
A great race this turned out to be between Matt Popejoy who was on pole position and car 2 Frankie Hallam. Matt made a poor start and Frankie took the lead on the first lap, these two were never more than a few seconds apart and the lead changed hands seven times during the race with Frankie just snatching victory. Behind these two Alwyn Hodges was third and Jack Walsh was fourth – well done Jack!
GT12 B Final
This was also a very keenly contested race, Keith Heathcote, Nick Bruty, Dave Tomlinson and Chelle Snowden all driving well at a very similar pace. Keith took the lead initially but Nick got by on lap 10 with Dave Tomlinson also in hot pursuit.
Keith was first past the finishing line by less than 1 second after six changes in leader, Nick was second and Dave third all on 41 laps with Chelle fourth on 40.
GT12 A Final
Another fine performance from James Hart saw him lead the race from start to finish and set the fastest lap. There was a superb battle for second place for the whole duration of the race between Darren Ford, Louis Parker and David Simpson, Louis overtaking Darren four laps from the end to claim second place, Darren was third and David Simpson fourth.
