Orlowski Dominates Schumacher Masters Rd6

This past weekend was the sixth round of the Worksop Masters, the penultimate event of this current series. Many people were thinking about their overall championship positions as the series draws to a close. The race format was round by round qualifying, with the best 2 results from 4 rounds of qualifying counting towards the final position. However, these plans were changed slightly with 2wd as the UK storms swept across the Country. Heavy rain was falling that much outside that the roof and drainage system couldn’t cope, so as some rain came in on the track area it was decided to move straight to finals after 4wd qualifying was complete and abandon 2wd qualifying.

Branson takes first EWS title

The fourth round of the 2021/2022 Essex Winter Series was held this weekend. As the championship was entering its final stages, there were opportunities for more titles to be decided. In the Scorpion Modified Class, Kyle Branson had a good chance of securing his first EWS Championship if things went his way. The Xray pilot got things off to the best start as he set the pace in qualifying, eventually topping all of the four rounds. Capricorn’s Alex Thurston kept Kyle honest however, running within a few seconds of Kyle and securing second on the A Final grid. Chris Grainger (Awesomatix) managed to find a new turn of speed to also put himself in the mix and often matching the times of Kyle and Alex and would line up third on the grid. The front half of the grid was completed by Harley Eldridge, the new Xray signing rebounding after a difficult debut last month for her new team, and Schumacher designer Andy Murray, piloting the production version of the Mi8 car he had penned himself.
