After a break from racing as the venue was not available last week it was the start of the summer league and it was good welcome two new members Lucas Morgan and Kyren Glover.
Following the three qualifying rounds Nathan Marshall led the club Mardave class to take pole position in the final with Roy Matthews two seconds down in second place and the spring league winner Harvey Forster in third.
In the GT12 class Karl Norris was quickest, four seconds in front of Chelle Snowden with Dan Sheppard third, Darren Ford fourth and Bob Harley in fifth place.
With all the league points resting on the final result a good performance was required.
Nathan Marshall made a good start in the mardave final but it was Harvey Forster who steadily made his way up into the lead and went on to take a fine win just ahead of Nathan in second place and Roy Matthews in third. Well done to Lucas Morgan who finished fourth.
Courtney Orme won the GT12 C final to take maximum points in F3 ahead of Kyren Glover, Mike Yates finishing third.
Jordan Leavis had a convincing win in the B Final, Guy Rogers was second and an incredibly close finish saw Mike Simpson just take third place by just 0.31 seconds from Bob Harris.
The last race of the evening the GT12 A Final was exciting to watch with the first four drivers finishing on the same lap. It was pole position driver Karl Norris who won, Chelle Snowden took second place and Dan Sheppard third (also being best in F2), Bob Harley was fourth with newly promoted F1 driver Darren Ford finishing fifth.
So after round one Harvey Forster, Karl Norris, Dan Sheppard and Courtney Orme all have maximum points in their formulas – can they retain their record next week. With the best six from a possible nine round scores to count there is a long way to go.
Following the racing the spring league trophies were presented by Chelle Snowden, see photograph of some of the trophy winners.
