Track


A fast flowing track design this week.

Qualifying
After the three rounds of qualifying James Hart was fastest with Louis Parker just 3.20 seconds adrift, both drivers having 36 laps. Two laps down on these two was a tremendous battle between David Simpson, Darren Ford, Gavin Maciver, Nick Bruty and Chelle Snowden. They eventually qualified in this order, all on 34 laps, Nick being the best in F2.
Bob Harley was second in F2 followed closely by Matt Popejoy and Nick Wallace, all three drivers on 32 laps.
Alister Hart was again top qualifier in F3 with Selina Woods in second place.
Mike Simpson was top in the V12 mardave class followed by Jordan Galbraith.

Finals
First on was the GT12 C Final which saw Paul Galbraith have a runaway victory finishing three laps ahead of best placed F3 driver Selina Woods in second place. Courtney Orme was third and Scott Lewis had to settle for fourth place after problems with his car.
Mike Simpson won the V12 mardave final from pole position on the grid, Paul Galbraith set the fastest lap however and finished second a lap adrift, Joshua Galbraith was third.
The GT12 B Final Bob Harley had an excellent race to win, being a lap ahead of Nick Wallace and Chelle Snowden who were second and third respectively.
The A final was once again a very entertaining one to watch, James Hart and Louis Parker got away from the rest of the field to finish first and second with some great driving. There was very little to separate the other four drivers and with the race order changing several times it went down to the wire. Darren Ford took a fine third place followed by David Simpson in fourth.
Nick Bruty was fifth after losing a position late in the race and Gavin Maciver sixth just 0.25 seconds behind Nick.
