BRCA 1/12 Nationals Rd1 – Report

The first round of the 2018/19 BRCA 1/12 Nationals took place in Eastbourne last weekend. The event saw an entry more than 20 percent larger than at this event last season, which bodes well for what looks like being a healthy and competitive season. On Sunday the field is split into two classes, with 6.5 Modified and Sport 13.5 stock offered. In Modified qualifying Ollie Payne was the driver to beat; he was top qualifier by 7 seconds ahead of Mark Stiles, Andy Murray and David Spashett who were covered by just over 3 seconds. In the A-final Ollie and Mark pulled away from the chasing pack which was headed by Dave Spashett. In the early stages Mark was almost able to stay with Ollie, but as the race settled down Ollie began to stretch his legs and extend a lead of nearly half a lap. Pushing hard early on hurt Mark later in the race when he suffered a loss of rear grip. This allowed a stealthy David Spashett to creep up and snatch 2nd place at the last corner, demoting a disappointed Mark to 3rd place.
