Essex Winter Series Rd4 – Report

The penultimate round of the Essex Winter Series championship took place this weekend at the popular venue in South-East England. Despite the freezing temperatures outside, the fully heated hall and pits saw most racers resorting to t-shirts and the track groove up quickly. With Championship leader, and winner of all three events so far, Elliott Harper on international duty for Schumacher, others would be hoping to take advantage and a useful points haul from the day.

However, behind Olly, tight battles for the remaining A-final places raged throughout each run. Infinity’s Andy Moore, running the Infinity prototype touring car for the first time in the UK, was Olly’s closest challenger in the opening qualifier, ahead of Olly’s Xray team mate Alexander Hagberg, the Team Associated cars of Chris Grainger and Alan Bickerstaff, and Kyle Branson, also running the new Infinity car.
