2019 Scottish GT Regionals Rd2 – Report

The second round of the BRCA Scottish GT Regionals took place last weekend at Grampian Radio Car Club near Aberdeen. A lower than expected entry didn’t detract from the friendly atmosphere and competitive racing. The Grampian track is the largest in the series and the host club laid a fast flowing track capitalising on the extra racing surface. Qualifying would see John Simpson secure pole with Andrew Edwards in 2nd. These two drivers are previous champions of the series and are currently sitting 2nd and 3rd in the championship so were looking to secure maximum points with the absence of the current series leader. Kenneth Rogers would line up third with Colin Leslie fourth and the remaining positions filled by James Eaves and Arthur McGinnis.

2018/19 Essex Winter Series Rd4 – Report

This weekend saw the fourth round of the popular Essex Winter Series take place in the UK. As the penultimate round of the series, some of the championships could be decided, but with the high level of competition across all the classes, it was going to be a tough day for everyone in the points chase. In the Modified class, Olly Jefferies ideally needed a maximum points haul to force a showdown for the final round – but Elliott Harper could clinch the championship with a runner-up score, if Olly failed to take home the maximum points. Elliott put together a good first run, taking the top spot by nearly two-and-a-half seconds from his Xray teammate Alexander Hagberg. Olly set the third best time, just a few tenths back on the Swede, with Kyle Branson in fourth for Capricorn and Matthew White taking fifth with his Associated. Round two saw Alexander move to the top, besting his teammate by three-quarters of a second, as both the Xray drivers pulled out a two-second gap to Olly, who again took third, with Kyle and Matthew in fourth and fifth again as well.
