08-08-17 Summer league Round 5

James Hart qualified in first place, David Hall was second, Steve Donald third and Mark Deacon fourth.  Darren Ford, Gavin Maciver and Andy Plimmer completed the line up for the A Final.

Good results also for new members Carl Walton and Chris Metcalfe, both finishing ahead of John Stringer in F3,

Nathan Marshall was quickest after two rounds in the Club Mardave class with improved reliability of his car – was it due to his pit crew?, but he fell back into second place behind Mike Simpson after round 3 with Paul Galbraith third and Alex Forster fourth.

A win for Mike in the Mardave final after Nathan made a poor start from second place on the grid and had to fight his way back up the field to eventually finish in an excellent second place, ahead of Paul Galbraith and also critically F2 League leader Alex Forster, closing his lead in the league to just 5 points – we look forward to an exciting last three rounds!

Courtney Orme won an eventful GT12 D Final to retain his lead in F2, John Stringer was quickest on the track and took second place with Jack Walsh third.

In the C Final Dave Lumbis was a lap clear of everyone, Steve Gorey, Bob Harris and Richard Sherwin finishing second, third and fourth respectively.

Gary Oscroft had a great win in the B Final , Bob Harley was second, Dan Sheppard third and Jordan Leavis fourth.

Some fantastic driving in the A Final, the result was close between James Hart and David Hall, James being first across the finishing line. Andy Plimmer finished third after starting in seventh place on the grid, Mark Deacon was fourth and is now only 6 points behind the league leader in F2 – can he win promotion back into F1 ?

Next week is round 4 of the 2017 Superleague.
