More changes of position after round 3 with Simon Pole still being the top qualifier, Chelle Snowden moving up into second place, Nick Wallace third and Richard Norris fourth. The remaining A final places went to Dan Stones qualifying for an A Final for the first time and Bob Harley.

Finals
Euan Lees had a comfortable win in the “C” Final, being two laps clear of second place driver Adam Cowell. Caleb Jones was third and Ian Craig fourth.

In the “B” final Freddie Parker was on pole position on the grid and made a great start, going on to set the quickest lap in the race. However after an exciting race the eventual winner was Mike Simpson, Freddie was second an Adam Hancock third.

The “A” Final was keenly contested with Simon Pole winning with 40 laps, Richard Norris was second with 39, with Bob Harley, Nick Wallace and Dan Stones taking third, fourth an fifth places respectively on 38 laps. Chelle Snowden finished in sixth place with 37 laps. Well done Dan!

In the League Simon Pole now leads F1, Bob Harley is in second place and Nick Wallace third.
Dan Stones is the leader in F2, Mike Simpson is in second place and Benn Norris third.
Freddie Parker having won all of the six rounds is the F3 League champion – can he also win the remaining three rounds? Adam Cowell is in second place and Saul Theobold third.

Remember that with three rounds remaining and only the best six from a possible nine scores to count some of the present positions may be misleading !!!!
