2019/20 BRCA LMP12 Nationals Rd4 – Report

Round four of the 2019/20 BRCA LMP12 nationals took place in Chesterfield last weekend. A capacity entry of 85 drivers took part in the weekend’s racing. Unfortunately round 3 of the championship had to be cancelled in December due to structural issues with the venue meaning that the Championship has been reduced to three counting rounds from five. Chesterfield hit their usual high standards laying a challenging track on perfectly smooth carpet laid with no tape joins to upset the cars. Saturday would see drivers competing in 13.5 and 17.5 stock classes. Winner of the first two rounds Olly Jeffries would be looking to complete the trio this weekend. From the start it was clear who was the racer to beat with Olly topping the timesheets on all four rounds of qualifying. Mark Stiles would get the closest to Olly lining up second on the grid from David Spashett and Ollie Payne. Olly would get a clean start and after a first lap error from Mark Stiles that overturned the car of David Spashett would complete the race unchallenged taking his third win and securing the 13.5 Stock Championship.
