In the League Simon Pole now leads F1, Bob Harley is in second place and Nick Wallace third.
Dan Stones is the leader in F2, Mike Simpson is in second place and Benn Norris third.
Freddie Parker having won all of the six rounds is the F3 League champion – can he also win the remaining three rounds? Adam Cowell is in second place and Saul Theobold third.
