Finals
In the combined Mardave/GT12 D Final Matthew Tansley was the winner with Paul Carter taking second place, Nathan Marshall third and Roy Matthews fourth.

In the GT12 C Final Bob Harris took and early lead starting on pole position on the grid, Mike Simpson then moved up into the front until the last minute when Bob re-took the lead and went on to win the race. Behind these two Chris Metcalfe and Kayleigh Knight were fighting it out for third and fourth places, it was very close but Chris was first to the finish. Well done also to Benn Norris who put in some quicker laps than both Chris and Kayleigh!

The GT12 B Final was next and proved to be an exciting race with Bob Harley leading the cars away at the start from pole. Justin Heath set the quickest lap time early on in the race just 6/100th second faster than Bob and with Darren Ford and Guy Rogers also going well it was a great race to watch. In the end a super consistent drive from Darren won him the race, Bob finished second and Justin third all on the same lap.

Could the last race of the evening the GT12 A Final match the excitement of the previous one, the answer was yes! Ashley King being the winner and lapping all the other drivers apart from Steve Donald who finished in second place with Chelle Snowden taking third spot and league leader Karl Norris fourth all these three finishing on the same lap.

Four more rounds yet to go in the league, Karl Norris still leads F1 by a big margin but Chelle Snowden reduced his lead by a point this week.
A change of leader in F2 with Guy Rogers now top just a single point ahead of Mike Simpson, Bob Harris in third place also closing the gap by a point to second place.
Freddie Parker still leads F3.
In the Mardave class Roy Matthews had his lead cut by a point by Nathan Marshall who, having raced in only two rounds still could achieve a maximum points score in the league.
Remember it is the best six from a possible nine results that count.
