Qualifying

Mike Simpson was the top qualifier in the Mardave Class with  31 laps, Callum Ward took second place on 27 and Richard Parker third also with 27 laps.

In the GT12 class Dave Tomlinson achieved a tremendous 34 laps to take pole position ahead of Daniel Williams with 33 laps and Nick Bruty 31.

Finals

Mike Simpson had a good run in the final setting the fastest lap time of 11.55 seconds and having a comfortable win on 39 laps, another excellent drive from Callum Ward to be second, three laps down and maintain his challenge in division 2.

The last race of the evening was the GT12 final, Dave Tomlinson led the field away from pole position and built up a slight lead with Daniel Williams and Chelle Snowden chasing him. An incredible battle for the lead developed with Daniel hitting the front on lap 27 only to see Dave get past him the following lap and re-take the lead.  We were then treated to three minutes of wheel to wheel racing, Daniel setting the fastest lap of 10.12 seconds and with a few seconds to go Dave seemed to have the race in the bag, but Daniel slipped by to win by 7/10ths of a second, both drivers on 44 laps with Chelle taking third with 42.

What an incredible race – it does not get much better than this!
