Qualifying
A great drive in round 2 by Louis Parker earned him pole position on the grid for the A final three seconds ahead of James Hart with visiting driver Andrew Slingsby a further 0.51 seconds down.
In division 2 Nick Bruty set the pace with Nick Wallace second and Bob Harley in third place, both these drivers being a lap down on the leader.
Selina Woods was the best placed division 3 driver, her nearest rival was Alister Hart being 2 laps behind.

In the V12 mardave class Mike Simpson had a good evening being the top qualifier 1 lap ahead of Paul Galbraith. Jordan Galbraith was best in division 2.

Finals
Mike Simpson had a steady drive to win the mardave final, it was very close though with Paul Galbraith making up ground near the end of the race to finish in second place just 1.04 seconds behind. Roy Matthews put in some good laps to be the top placed division 2 driver.

The GT12 C final was fast and furious as usual, Scott Lewis was going well but a pod coming loose put him out half way through the race. This left Mike Simpson, Jordan Galbraith and Selina Woods to fight for the top three places. Mike was the eventual winner a lap clear of Jordan and Selina took third place and best in division 3 with some great driving.

All the drivers in the B final drove well and the race developed into a repeat of last weeks battle between the “two Nick’s” Nick Bruty and Nick Wallace. In the end Nick Bruty again won the day with Nick Wallace second 1 lap down. Guest driver James Sutton was third.

The last race of the evening was the GT12 A final and with Louis Parker on pole everyone was waiting to see if he could win from the front of the grid. A very exciting eight minutes of racing followed with some extremely fast lap times and it was James Hart who came out on top to win with Louis taking a fine second place and Andrew Slingsby third. Another super race – well done to all of the drivers, it made me dizzy just watching!

So after two round of the league only two drivers remain with maximum points, Nick Bruty in division 2 and Selina Woods in division 3. A good start for these two but remember it is the best eight from a possible round scores to count.
