Finals

Eight minute duration finals this week.

The Mardave “B” final was a battle between the three “Js”, namely Joshua Galbraith, Jack Cook and Jenson Butlin.

Josh was lapping quickest and went on to win with 34 laps with some great driving, Jack was second just one lap down on 33 and Jenson took third place with 32 laps.

Lee Bishop continued his sparkling run of form by winning the Mardave “A” with a tremendous 41 laps, pushing pole position driver Richard Parker down into second place on 40 laps and David Simpson third on 39.

The last race of the evening was the GT12 “A” final and David Statham led the field away from pole position and for the first three laps seemed to have the race under control. Dave Tomlinson had other ideas though and took the lead on lap four only for David Statham to regain the lead three laps later.  Things stayed this way until lap 16 when Dave got past and into the lead once more and eventually winning on 43 laps being six seconds ahead.  Behind these two Bob Harley and Louis Parker were also very close, both finishing on 40 laps, Bob taking the third place by eight seconds.
