13-06-17 Spring League Final Round

The final round of the League with the Mardave F2 and GT12 F2 winners to be decided on the night.
A good fast track, Gavin Maciver the designer this week.

After the three rounds of qualifying Mike Simpson was leading in the club mardave class followed by Jordan Galbraith and Nathan Marshall. In F2 Roy Mathews enhanced his chances of winning the league title by being fastest qualifier in front of his main challenger Alex Forster.

In the GT12 class Courtney Orme was the top F3 driver, a lap quicker than John Stringer.

Jordan Leavis was the best in F2, Paul Carter being second.

Gavin Maciver took advantage of his track design to be the fastest in the GT12 class on 38 laps with Bob Harley in second place on 36.

Finals

The mardave class was up first where if Alex Forster could be the top placed F2 driver he would win the league if Roy Matthews failed to finish in second place. No pressure here then! With eight cars on the track it proved to be a very exciting and eventful race, Jordan Galbraith was soon up into the lead with his car flying, a couple of racing incidents brought him back to earth with a bump letting Mike Simpson into the lead. Mike held on to win the race with Jordan second, Joshua Galbraith third and Paul Galbraith fourth.
Behind these in F2 Alex and Roy were very evenly matched, it was Alex who was first across the line with Roy close behind to give them both the same overall league score which meant that the tie breaker was brought into play. Roy won the title having more maximum point finishes, it does not get any closer than this!

Paul Carter won the GT12 B final, a fine performance from Courtney Orme earned him second place with John Stringer in third spot. Well done Courtney for winning the F3 title.

Gavin Maciver had a good drive in the GT12 A Final, Bob Harley was second and a third place finish for Jordan Leavis was good enough to win him the F2 League title in his first league as a club member!

Congratulations to all the league winners.
