17-01-17 Winter League Round 2

A similar track design to last produced some good racing.

Qualifying
After the three rounds of qualifying James Hart was quickest with Louis Parker second, these two drivers being a lap ahead of Richard Hickling, Ashley King, Gavin Maciver and Mark Deacon. Ashley being ahead of Mark for a change by 3.76 seconds – could he repeat this in the final?
Steve Donald continued his great run of form by being best in F2, a lap clear of Matt Popejoy and Daniel Lacey.
Paul Carter was the top driver in F3, 3 laps ahead of Courtney Orme and John Stringer.
In the club mardave class Jordan Galbraith was in unstoppable form taking pole in the final followed by Mike Simpson and Paul Galbraith. In F2 Roy Matthews was fastest with Daniel lacey second and Alex Forster third.

Finals
The mardave final was a runaway victory for Jordan Galbraith with a fine drive, Mike Simpson was second 2 laps down and Paul Galbraith third. In F2 Alex Forster was the top driver finishing ahead of Roy Matthews who seemed to be lacking drive! – it always pays to ensure the motor pinion is on securely!

Javier Jimenez cruised to victory in the GT12 C final, Paul Carter finished in second place and Courtney Orme third.

The GT12 B final produced some very exciting racing with all the drivers being very evenly matched and the lead changing hands several times during the race. At the finish it was F2 driver Steve Donald who crossed the line ahead with a tremendous performance, beating F1 drivers Darren Ford, Bob Harley and Chelle Snowden.

As usual the last race of the evening was the GT12 A final, yet again James Hart set the fastest lap on his way to victory, guest driver Richard Hickling took second place, Louis Parker was third and Ashley King fourth – ahead of Mark Deacon again!- has this set a trend to be repeated next week?
A great race to complete the evening.
