Luke Lee grabs BRCA Formula title

The seventh round of the BRCA Clubmans series was held at the Bedworth track in the usual Touring Stock and Formula classes. Despite missing Saturday’s practice, it was Luke Lee who made a clean sweep in qualifying to take the overall TQ in the Formula class. Onto the finals and on pole with a clear track ahead of him, Luke didn’t look back in leg 1, as he managed to create a gap and keep it for the whole race. Leg 2 however was not so straight forward. A mistake on the opening laps dropped Luke down the field and he tried to work his way though, but a few cars were beginning to struggle with rear grip under braking so on a couple of occasions they touched resulting in Luke waiting for them to regain track position ahead of him. Eventually Luke worked his way through the field and with just a minute to go there was a big gap to the lead car but he pushed hard and on the penultimate lap he was nose to tail, and he made a hard move to get passed but pushed the leader into a slide so he conceded the place back. With just one lap to go Luke tried a few places to get passed but eventually just a couple of corners from the end he managed to find a way past and took the win by just 0.17 seconds. Behind him it was Michal Lee on the runner-up from Lee Owen in 3rd, completing an all-Xray top 3. With the win Luke also took the overall championship with the maximum points score.

Bezerk Pro10 Winter Series Rd3 – Report

The third and final round of the Bezerk RC Pro10 Winter Series was held at England Park Raceway last weekend. The full long track layout was again used so all the drivers could enjoy the fast flowing nature of the track. Unfortunately one of the favorites for the round win, Clayton Hughes, came to an early finish when he struck a marshall at full speed in the foot knocking him to the ground. Fortunately the marshall wasn’t injured but the car was too badly damaged to repair on the night. After three rounds of qualifying TQ went to Shannon Overson (Litesabre) with Luke Sinanian (Xray) 2nd and Scott Tapsall (Xray) 3rd. The first two finals were won by Shannon after some very close racing with Luke. In the third final Luke turned the table and ceased on a mistake from Shannon and went on to take a well earned win. The final finishing positions ended up the same as the qualifying order with Shannon getting the win over Luke 2nd and Scott 3rd with Jason Wicks and Richard Chun rounding out the top 5. The drivers are now moving onto what should be an awesome three rounds in the upcoming 73RC Summer Series.

Thanks to Shannon Overson for the report.
