The final round of the Superleague means that 2015 is drawing to a close, another good evenings racing and it was good to see some new drivers on the track.
Qualifying
In the GT12 class Louis Parker was in dazzling form putting in 40 laps, being over two laps ahead second and third placed drivers Gavin Maciver and David Simpson.
Nick Wallace was the top F2 driver on 36 laps followed by Chelle Snowden with 35 and Paul Galbraith with 34 laps.
There was a titanic battle in F3 between Matt Popejoy and Scott Lewis, in the end it was Matt who had the edge being 0.63 seconds faster, both drivers having 34 laps.
In the club mardave class Mike Simpson was fastest qualifier with 32 laps, Paul Galbraith was second with 30 laps, Joshua Galbraith was third and best in F2 also on 30 laps, ahead of Jordan Galbraith two laps down.
Finals
Mike Simpson had a poor start from pole position in the mardave final and found himself at the back of the field after the first lap with Jordan Galbraith taking an early lead. Joshua Galbraith then put in some good laps including the quickest of the race to move into first position but a couple of incidents let Mike Simpson catch up and it was then a very close race to the finishing line, with Mike winning and Josh taking second place 2.49 seconds adrift. Paul Galbraith finished third and Jordan fourth.
The GT12 C final was next Bob Harley was on pole after struggling with his car in qualifying. A good clean start gained him a big advantage on lap 1 and with some fast and tidy driving had an easy win by 6 laps. Behind him Rob Hambridge and Courtney Orme were fighting for second place, it was Rob who came out on top and Courtney was third.
The GT12 B final promised to be a good race and we were not disappointed. Chelle Snowden had a comfortable win with Paul Galbraith and Matt Popejoy going head to head for second place for most of the race, Matt was in front with one lap to go but Paul put in a fast final lap to pip Matt to the line by 2.09 seconds.
Louis Parker led the drivers away from pole position in the A final and slowly extended his lead lap by lap with some very fast and consistent driving, only a single lap being over 10 seconds. Gavin Maciver was his nearest challenger but could not quite match the pace despite some excellent driving. Nick Wallace was having an great evening being the only F2 driver to make the A final, he put in another super performance to finish in third place on 37 laps – Nick Bruty you better watch out in the New Year when we will see who is the top Nick! So another good win for Louis getting 41 laps and Gavin taking second with 39. A good race this.
