21-11-17 Autumn League Round 5

A more open track design than last week produced some very quick lap times, Richard Hicklin was the best in qualifying with 43 laps, Steve Donald being just a couple of seconds down. Ashley King and Karl Norris both achieved 42 laps to be third and fourth.

In the club mardave class the result went down to the wire in the third round of qualifying with Roy Matthews just losing out to Nathan Marshall by 0.16 seconds despite Roy setting the fastest lap.

Nathan went on to win the mardave final, Harvey Forster was second and Roy Matthews had a problem with his car that put him out of the running. Time to get a new pit crew Roy????

Courtney Orme was the winner of the GT12 D final, a great drive from Alex Forster to finish in second with Paul Carter third.

Bjorn Baldwin led the C final field away from pole position on the grid and had a very close race with Mike Simpson who eventually won. Behind these two driver Bob Harris and Tom Sheppard were very evenly matched and it was Bob who took third place just over a second ahead of Tom.

The B final was won by Dan Sheppard, Dean Hawley took second place and Jordan Leavis an excellent third after a good battle with Daniel Lacey.

Just the A final to go which was run at a very fast pace, it was Ashley King who was first across the finishing line just 0.52 seconds in front of Steve Donald with Karl Norris a further 4 seconds adrift. Well done Ashley!

Just three more rounds to go now in the Autumn league.
