BRCA LMP12 National Rd6 – Report

Last weekend saw the final two rounds of the BRCA LMP12 national series take place at the Chesterfield track in the north of England. Coming into the last national of the season only one of the three titles had been sewn up, with David Spashett having claimed the 13.5 title with a perfect score at the fourth round in Poole. The Modified championship would see the Roche duo of Spashett and Ollie Payne fighting for the title, and in the Sports Modified class it would be a four way battle for the title between Ben Vincent and Mark Jewitt (Schumacher), Mick Farrell (CRC) and Matt Rice (Associated). Chesterfield are a long established venue for LMP racing and rather unusually laid out a track that was an exact copy of the track raced last year. This meant that from the first heat of qualifying to the last final the track maintained a very equal level of speed. The carpet used was the traditional GT style rug and most drivers seemed very comfortable from the off, with an unlucky few picking up grip-roll as the track evolved.

In the Touring Car Modified Yugo Nagashima, fresh off of his last trip to North America, would do it again. The 2018 Snowbirds champion would end up on top again. He would go to reset his TQ a couple of times during the event and was the man to beat when it was all said and done. Cruising to a comfortable A1 and A2 win over some of the best drivers in North America, it was a display of perfection as he was over 99% consistency through the runs.
