CWIC Xray Racing Series UK Rd3 – Report

Round three of the increasingly successful CWIC Xray Racing Series UK was held at the Christie Miller Sports centre in Melksham, Wiltshire. Just over 100 entries were received across the classes which for the lead up to Christmas is impressive. With that racers had some great choice with other races to attend on the same day with the 12th Nationals and EWS both clashing with the CWIC XRS. As in previous rounds the ever popular ProStock 13.5 class was the most popular by a long way, attracting well over a 100 racers to the class over the series so far. Round three has seen some new faces on the podium due to some notable absences being away. Top qualifier Dan Blake converted that into an overall round three win with wins in both legs of the finals. Closely followed by Chris Gunter and Mark Giaquinto.

Niclas Mansson wins at The Traditional Lucia race

The “The Traditional Lucia race” was held in Sweden and it saw Daniel Kobbevik taking the TQ in the 2WD Buggy class after the three qualifiers. Alexander Landen would line up second on the grid from Max Johansson in third. The opening final saw Daniel and Alexander taking off with no problems and the two were soon joined by Niclas Mansson who was able to pass Max. Daniel was keeping the lead, but made a small mistake and got placed on the wrong track segment by a marshall which cost him a lot of time, meaning the battle was now on between Alexander and Nille. They were battling for a few laps and eventually Niclas managed to make an aggressive pass in the chicane and Alexander got spun. The latter took up the chase and tried a pass at the end of the straight, but they tangled and Alexander flipped so they finished in the order of Nille first and Alexander second.
