Essex Winter Series Rd3 – Report

The third round of the popular Essex Winter Series championship took place this weekend in the South-East of the UK. With the weekend marking the last of major race events of 2014, everyone wanted to finish out the year on a high. In the Modified class, Kyle Branson was back in the field after missing Round 2 due to the 1/10th IC Worlds in Thailand. Previous winners Andy Moore and Olly Jefferies were absent due to other commitments, whilst defending champion Elliott Harper was also unable to race, having yet to secure a new race deal following his departure last month from Team Durango. However, this didn’t detract much from the strength of the field, with Branson going up against multi-time UK National Champion Chris Grainger, multi-time EWS Podium finisher Matthew White, and a whole host of regular A-finalists.
