Finals

First up was the mardave final as usual and team Galbraith’s hopes of a whitewash were dashed in the first few seconds of the race when Joshua’s car refused to move off the line. Jordan however was in sparkling form and soon established a lead that nobody could make up and went on to win the race. Behind him Mike Simpson and Paul Galbraith were having their own race for second place with Mike being ahead and Paul lapping quicker. Half way through the final lap Paul was just a couple of car lengths behind and they crossed the line at speed in a photo finish – Mike just ahead by 0.2 seconds, all the first three drivers being on the same lap. Wow that was a close finish!

It was a different story for second and third places with Paul Galbraith and Mike Simpson being very evenly matched and having a great battle for lap upon lap.

Just the GT12 A final to go and what a great race this proved to be. Louis Parker took an early lead from pole position on the grid but fell back into third place on lap 3 with Shane West leading and Gavin Maciver in second place. This set the scene for a tremendous race with Louis fighting to catch up and all three drivers putting in a superb performance. Louis set the fastest lap of the race on lap 17 and took the lead on lap 23 only for Shane to overtake him on the following lap. It was wheel to wheel now for the remainder of the race, Shane leading with two laps to go then on the penultimate lap Louis got ahead and went on to win, Shane finishing second and Gavin third, all three on 31 laps. What a race to conclude the evening!
