Some extremely close racing this week, the difference in best lap times between the majority of the drivers being small.

Qualifying
Karl Norris was top qualifier with 45 laps just two and a half seconds quicker than  Simon Pole.  Chelle Snowden was third with 44 Laps followed by Kayleigh Knight and McKenzie Wallace on 43 and Benn Norris, Dan Stones, Richard Norris and Bob Harley with 42.

Finals
Freddie Parker starting from pole position on the grid won the “C” Final with 40 laps, Adam Cowell was second and Mike Simpson third, both drivers on 39 laps. It was good to see Paul Galbraith racing again at the Club.

The “B” Final was a tremendous race to watch, Benn Norris lead the cars away from pole position. Unfortunately Nick Wallace had to retire his car after the first lap leaving the remaining four drivers to battle it out. Fast and consistent driving from all the drivers throughout the rest of the race resulted in just six seconds separating all of them at the finish. Benn was the winner, Bob Harley second, Dan Stones third and Richard Norris fourth.

Just the “A” Final remaining and it did not disappoint. Karl Norris won the race, Simon Pole was a lap down in second with Chelle Snowden, Kayleigh Knight and McKenzie Wallace finishing third, fourth and fifth respectively just four seconds between them. A superb end to the evenings racing. Well done McKenzie!

With five rounds of the league now completed two drivers are still unbeaten, Karl Norris in F1 and Freddie Parker in F3 both scoring the maximum 500 points with Benn Norris just a single point down with 499 in F2 following McKenzie’s 100 points this week.  Just four rounds left to race and with the best six from a possible nine round scores to count we could still see some very close final results.

Next week is the Christmas trophy meeting, don’t forget to pre-book as usual.

Qualifying
A track design similar to the previous week, Karl Norris again being the top qualifier and for the third consecutive week all of the “Team Norris” drivers made the “A” Final. Simon Pole was second fastest, Chelle Snowden third, Kayleigh Knight fourth, with Benn Norris and McKenzie Wallace taking fifth and sixth places.

Finals
Saul Theobold won a keenly contested “C” Final with Euan Lees in second place just over two seconds adrift. Visiting driver Jack Southin was third.

Bob Harley was the winner of the “B” Final, Dan Stones was second and Freddie Parker continued his run of good form to take third place.

The last race of the evening, the “A” Final was won by Karl Norris being a lap ahead of second place driver Simon Pole, Kayleigh Knight was third, Chelle Snowden fourth, Benn Norris fifth and McKenzie Wallace sixth.

Another exciting evenings racing – Round 5 of the Winter League is next week.

Next week is Round 3 of the league.

 

 

The start of the winter league with the best six from nine rounds to count.

Karl Norris was in excellent form, being quickest in all three qualifying rounds and winning the A Final – a good start in his quest to regain the F1 league trophy from Autumn League winner Simon Pole. Simon was second in the A Final, Guy Rogers third and Benn Norris driving Kayleigh Knights car this week finished fourth ahead of Bob Harley.

Nick Wallace was the winner of the B Final just over two seconds ahead of Kayleigh using Benn’s car, Dan Stones was third, Freddie Parker finished fourth with another good drive, Mike Simpson was fifth. I suspect that Kayleigh will have her own car back next week!!!!!

A Reduced number of drivers this week partly due to school half term holidays but it was good to see Freddie Parker and Olly Statham both racing again at Burton.

Another A Final win for Simon Pole, Chelle Snowden was second, Darren Ford third and Bob Harley fourth.

Just two rounds remaining in the league with six from a possible eight round scores to count, drivers who have raced in every round have two chances to discard their lowest scores.

A slightly modified track to last week again produced some great racing.

Saul Theobold won the C Final with Adam Cowell taking second place and Euan Lees third.

Nick Wallace was the winner of the B Final with Benn Norris second and Bob Harris third, both being a lap down on Nick.

Yet another epic A Final with Simon Pole taking the win again, Karl Norris finishing second and Chelle Snowden third.

Just three more rounds remaining in the league, Simon Pole leads GT12 F1, Benn Norris F2 and Ian Craig F3. With the best six from a possible eight rounds to count the final positions could change dramatically.

Next week is round six.
