Schumacher Indoor Masters Rd5 – Report

The fifth round of the Worksop Series once again had a great entry of 15 heats of drivers spread across the three classes of 2WD, 4WD and vintage buggy. As always it was round by round qualifying as the racing format, with the best two results from four rounds of qualifying counting towards the final position. Qualifying in 2WD was dominated by Mitchell Fiddling who took TQ in three out of four rounds, so therefore he would line up on pole. In 4WD it was much closer and several drivers were battling it out for TQ honours, in the end Tom Cockerill would line up on pole. In the Vintage class it was very close between Richard Johnson and Chris Slater, in the end they were tied on points but Richard had the fastest time so would line up on pole.
