Branson takes first EWS title

The fourth round of the 2021/2022 Essex Winter Series was held this weekend. As the championship was entering its final stages, there were opportunities for more titles to be decided. In the Scorpion Modified Class, Kyle Branson had a good chance of securing his first EWS Championship if things went his way. The Xray pilot got things off to the best start as he set the pace in qualifying, eventually topping all of the four rounds. Capricorn’s Alex Thurston kept Kyle honest however, running within a few seconds of Kyle and securing second on the A Final grid. Chris Grainger (Awesomatix) managed to find a new turn of speed to also put himself in the mix and often matching the times of Kyle and Alex and would line up third on the grid.
