Track

Qualifying
Some excellent racing on a testing track design, David Simpson was best qualifier after the first and second rounds but Louis Parker came good in round three to take pole in the A final. David was second overall and Gavin Maciver third. Matt Popejoy had his car set up well and with some great driving took fourth overall to make the A final.
Bob Harley was second in division 2 and Nick Wallace sporting a fine new bodyshell was third.
David Snowden carried on his good run of form from last week to be best in division 3 ahead of Courtney Orme and Alwyn Hodges.
In the mardave class Jordan Galbraith won two of the three qualifying heats and set the best time to be assured of pole position in the final, Mike Simpson was second just ahead of Joshua Galbraith who pushed his dad Paul down into fourth spot.

Finals
There was no stopping Jordan Galbraith in the mardave final, a super drive to lap everyone in the race and take an easy win. Behind Jordan Mike Simpson and Paul Galbraith had their own race for second place with positions changing several times. It was Mike who took second by just 0.98 seconds – a very close finish!

Rob Hambridge had a good drive in the GT12 C final to win, David Snowden was second just two laps down and visiting driver Max Crossland third a further lap behind.

The GT12 B final was a very close throughout with all the drivers being evenly matched. It was Nick Wallace with his sparkling new bodyshell who won the day being 2.9 seconds ahead of second place driver Bob Harley who narrowly beat Chelle Snowden by 4.5 seconds – an exciting race!

The GT12 A final was also a great race with Louis Parker, David Simpson and Gavin Maciver all driving very quickly and accurately round a very twisty track. David set the fastest lap but it was Louis with a very consistent performance who won, Gavin snatching second place from David on the last bend.

Just one round remains in the league which will be held next week.
