The penultimate round of the current league again produced some very competitive racing.

Saul Theobold won the “C” Final with 35 laps followed by Kaelin Thompson in second place and Adam Cowell third.

Benn Norris was the winner in the “B” Final on 39 laps, Mike Simpson took second place and Freddie Parker was third, also being the highest placed F3 driver. Dan Stones unfortunately had to retire from the race after an electrical problem with his car.

An exciting “A” Final was won by Karl Norris with 42 laps, Simon Pole finished second and Chelle Snowden was third.

With just the final round of the league remaining several of the leading positions have yet to be decided.

Kaelin Thompson leads F3 by just a single point from Saul Theobold in second place, and either Ian Craig or Euan Lees could finish third.

Benn Norris has the F2 League wrapped up but the second and third places are yet to be decided between Dan Stones and Mike Simpson.

Looking forward to next week, I am sure it will be a great evenings racing.
