Jordan Leavis was the best in F2 on 35 laps being a lap clear of Dan Sheppard in second place, Guy Rogers was third with 33 laps.
Benn Norris was quickest in F3 with 30 laps, Jack Walsh was second on the same lap and Courtney Orme third with 28 laps.

With only two cars in V12 Mardave class this week it was a “Team Forster” challenge, Alex Forster gaining the initial advantage by qualifying a lap ahead of Harvey. Come on you Mardave drivers – lets have more of you racing next week!

Finals
In the first race Courtney Orme starting from pole position on the grid built up an early lead and seemed to have the race in the bag until his car lost grip due to his tyres being worn out – James Walker quickly moved up into the lead to win the race. There was a great battle throughout the race for second place between the two Mardave drivers, Harvey Forster finishing just 1.53 seconds ahead of his brother Alex – well done Harvey.

Kayleigh Knight started from pole in the GT12 C final with Benn Norris moving up into second place on the first lap. A good race this with all the drivers evenly matched for speed, Mike Simpson moved back up into second place and eventually took the lead, overtaking Kayleigh after many laps of very close racing to take the win.

Jordan Leavis had a superb drive in the B Final to win , Darren Ford was second and Dan Sheppard took third place. Looking forward to an exciting remaining three rounds of the league to decide the F2 league winner.

James Hart won the A Final from pole at a very fast pace, Leigh Dibble was second , Ashley King third, league leader Karl Norris fourth with Steve Donald fifth.
