2019/20 Essex Winter Series Rd1 – Report

The 2019/2020 Essex Winter Series kicked off this weekend. With the championship continuing to be one of the most popular and prestigious races around, the competition was high and a few small tweaks to the series had positive responses from drivers across the board. In the Modified class, it was Elliott Harper who was out to defend his series title from last year and he kicked off qualifying by setting the best time, two and a half seconds ahead of Kyle Branson, with Matthew White and Chris Grainger just half a second further back and Paul Pinkney rounding out the top five. It seemed like it would take something special to stop Elliott dominating the race, but an element of luck is always needed and his luck ran out in Q2. After leading for over four minutes, he got caught up on a track marker that had moved, taking him out of the round.
