The third round of the 2015/16 Essex Winter Series had the honour of being the last major event of 2015. The capacity entry again featured stars from all parts of the UK and even further afield, including no less than three A-Finalists form last weekend’s ETS event. The Modified class saw EWS round 1 winner Olly Jefferies set the early pace with his Xray, narrowly pipping HB’s Andy Moore and EWS round 2 winner Elliott Harper’s Schumacher in the opening qualifier. Andy proved that his below-expectation result at the ETS was a one-off, topping the times in the second qualifying round, in front of the Xray duo of Olly and Alexander Hagberg. The third round saw Alexander setting the fastest time ahead of Kyle Branson, Olly and Elliott. That left pole position, along with the entire A-Final grid to be set in the final round.

Once the rest of the points were added up, Andy would line up second on the grid in front of Alexander, Kyle and Elliott.
