A James and Alister Hart design this week.

This was the first round of the autumn league, there are now two divisions in both the Club spec Mardave class and the GT12 class to “Supercup” rules each with a winners trophy to be retained until the completion of the next league.

Mardave Class

Richard Parker was quickest in the qualifying as usual followed by Lee Bishop who had trouble keeping the wheels on his car, however an excellent drive in the final gave Lee a well deserved victory with 47 laps followed by Richard on 46.
Jenson Butlin made a great start to defending his division 2 league title with a maximum 41 points, the racing is very close in this division so watch out for Jake and Joshua Galbraith in the future rounds.

GT12 Class

James Hart was top qualifier and had an easy victory in the “A” final scoring 52 laps, his nearest challenger Darren Ford had to retire from the race due to mechanical problems. A good performance from Louis Parker earned him second place in the final with Nick Bruty third to lead division 2. Daniel Williams finished in fourth place but this was still good enough to put him at the top of division 1.

Note that although Louis Parker’s final result is correct, the individual lap times are not due to a problem with his transponder.
